Velasquez was able to weather an early attack from Brock Lesnar, kept his composure and picked his spots with power, precision and resolve. The two heavyweight fighters traded knees and Velasquez landed a few punches before Lesnar drove him down. However, Velasquez was able to answer Lesnar’s attack as he scored with his own takedown 2:48 into the first period. He then rode on the side, landed a group of solid punches to the head before Lesnar gets back up. Because of those punches, Lesnar started to become off-balance and a bit dizzy.
That was a chance for Velasquez and he grabbed it by doing further attacks as he landed a knee of Lesnar’s body. Cain then pounced, hammering away at Lesnar from half-guard with punches and elbows. Lesnar was able to get back to his feet but this time, he was covered by blood already. Velasquez did not stop from there as threw a few more hammerfists. During that time, referee Herb Dean stepped in to end the match declaring Cain Velasquez as the winner. With that knockout, Cain Velasquez was given a $70,000 cash bonus for having done the Knockout of the Night.
