UFC 200: Velasquez's brilliant TKO win should push him to top of heavyweight ranks

Cain Velasquez is back. The former UFC heavyweight champion was a favorite over Travis Browne on Saturday in his first fight since 2015 and showed why early and often.

Velasquez dominated Browne from the opening bell, controlling the much larger fighter with some vicious kicks and punches. The most unique coming with a spinning back heel to the dome.

Can we please just take a second to reflect on @CainMMA's Spinning Back Kick?!? That was AWESOME! #UFC200pic.twitter.com/gWz0nZQZla

Velasquez was able to stay tight with his body and keep Browne's length at bay.
