A biography for Cain Velasquezhasn’t been written yet.
“Fight night, I have to go out there and perform. I have to go out there and do what I've been trained to do. It has to come my way. I have to go out there and take it.”
“I'm still in the gym every day for training, putting in the same hard work every week. That's the only way I know how to do it.”
“I'm going to be the best fighter I can be and focus on being me.”
“Growing, up I didn't really have anyone to look up to. There weren't a lot of Mexicans on T.V. except for those in boxing.”
“Hard work and sacrifice can get you a long way.”
“I take my health and the longevity of my career very seriously.”
“Seeing Mexicans in the media is rare. Seeing role models on TV is rare. So who do we look up to? We're not seen on football fields or basketball courts. So we look up to fighters; they're Mexican. They are out there fighting, representing their people, and winning champions. We look up to them.”
“Fighting is what I love to do.”
“Both my parents came into the United States from Mexico.”
“Wrestling has made me very mentally strong, conditioned me really well for MMA, and given me phenomenal balance.”
“I would go into practice pushing the body despite any injuries. It's a good thing but a bad thing. It's good because your body is quick to adapt, but it's a bad thing because you are forcing your body, and it can't recover as well.”
“I want everybody on Fox to see my fighting style, to really become a fan of the sport.”
“I've always loved competing; I've always loved working out - and wrestling, of course.”
