From what I saw in his first UFC fight this guy could be the real deal, he hits like a mule.
What do you think?

He looked great, he's only had 3 fights though. The UFC should build him up right and he has a promising future. My only concern really though is what will happen when he faces a bigger better wrestler like Brock Lesnar? It's still unknown if he can fight off of his back. He's a young prospect though and he could make an impact on the weak HW div.

DAMN I thought the fight should've been stopped a bit earlier, but still, not a bad stoppage, he gave Morris a lot of chances.
But Velasquez looked very impressive, good thing I parleyed him and Maia

I kinda wished the UFC would have waited for him to get a few more fights before picking him up. With the HW division as small as it is he can only fight so many guys before he is thrown into some of the top HWs in the world. Hes going to have a great future but i hope they dont bring him up too quickly because he might burn out too quickly.

Its hard to tell how great he is when he fights another unknown in Morris. Yet when a thread asked earlier who Cain should fight next I think I put Vera. After seeing him pummel this guy I would say that Vera vs. Cain would be an awesome fight. Tons of potential there.

I loved it, but we gotta think...how much of it was Cain being a good fighter, and how much was it of the Aussie sucking it up?

they might have a diamond in the rough with him and shane carwin.
the ufc needs to market these guys along with lesnar, but do it slowly like exelite is doing with kimbo slice

hmm, I'm not so sure I could agree with that now. The UFC totally did a rebuild of this division, think back about a year ago and compare, not that weak anymore IMO.

I really, really like what I see from Velasquez so far. He sets a very fast pace for a heavyweight. Look up his fight in Bodog, he wears his opponent out in about 1 minute. From all accounts, his cardio is ridiculous. That fact right there makes him dangerous against most heavyweights.
I am really looking forward to watching this guy's progess over the next couple of years. Hopefully, the UFC will bring him along fairly slowly so he at least gets 4 or 5 more fights before throwing him in with the top guys of the division. Once this guy develops some submission skills, both offensive & defensive, look out.
