7 UFC Fights Brock Lesnar Could Take Next
3. Cain Velasquez
Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez returned to action at UFC 200 and picked up his first win sine 2013, a devastating knockout of Travis Browne. The world took notice, and so did Brock Lesnar.
When asked at a post-fight press conference if he would be interested in a rematch with Velasquez, who holds one of two unavenged losses on Lesnar's record, Brock said he was. He also added that "Cain looked good. Cain always looks good" in regards to Velasquez's dominant performance that night. And he's right.
In their first fight, Lesnar was able to take Velasquez to the canvas - but failed to hold him there, which led to Cain finishing him off with strikes. It was the fight that cost Lesnar his title, and it no doubt gnaws at him, but getting back in the octagon after just one fight back could be a huge mistake for Brock Lesnar. The only reason Velasquez hadn't won a fight since 2013 was a slew of injuries that kept him out of action for months at a time. Healthy? Well, Lesnar might want a few more tune-up fights before he even considers taking on Cain.
