UFC on ESPN: Ngannou vs Velasquez is here, and with it has also come, the return of a beloved fighter to the Octagon.
The last time Cain Velasquez entered the Octagon, he decimated his opposition. However, injuries kept him out of action for the better part of 3 years. Known for being one of the top fighters of all time, he has finally returned.
