It’s been nearly three years to the date since we last saw Cain Velasquez inside a UFC cage. The former heavyweight came back from a three-year layoff in early 2019 to face Francis Ngannou and lost via knockout inside 26 seconds of action.
That same year, Velasquez moved away from MMA competition for good and jumped into pro-wrestling. After a six-month stint with the WWE, he carried on with his sports-entertainment career under Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, which he is still part of to this day.
There is no official word on whether or not the 39-year-old Velasquez had indeed closed his doors on MMA.
