5 Future UFC Heavyweight Champions

#2 Cain Velasquez

Cain Velasquez is one of the most dangerous fighters of all time

This may very well be the most controversial choice on this list of potential new UFC Heavyweight Champions. Akin to Stipe Miocic, Cain Velasquez too, is a former UFC Heavyweight titlist...In fact, at one point of time, Velasquez was regarded by many as the greatest Heavyweight in MMA history.

Unfortunately, Velasquez suffered a number of injuries, which in turn have resulted in him competing in only about 7 MMA fights since 2011. Well, Velasquez now seems to be healthy and eager to make his return to the UFC's famed Octagon as soon as possible.

Now, if this were a mid-tier fighter, he'd probably have to earn his way back to the title. However, considering Velasquez's impressive resume, it'd make all the sense in the world to match him up with the fighter who wins the UFC Heavyweight Championship after Daniel Cormier loses/retires.

Velasquez and Cormier are longtime training partners, and unlikely to fight each other in a pro MMA bout, although their gym wars with one another are said to be legendary. Irrespective of who his opponent is, Velasquez possesses marvelous wrestling and kickboxing skills that could enable him to defeat whosoever the next UFC Heavyweight Champion may be!

Cain is back, and will most definitely remind the world why he's so feared, come 2019...
