To say I was looking forward to fighting in Mexico for the first time is an understatement.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
Fight night, I have to go out there and perform. I have to go out there and do what I've been trained to do. It has to come my way. I have to go out there and take it.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
The Latino people in the U.S. and the Mexicans in Mexico need a UFC champion. We have a rich tradition in boxing, and to not have a Mexican heavyweight champion is unheard of. We need it. I'm glad I'm able to be in a position to give them that champion they so desperately want.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez

Quote by -Cain Velasquez

Quote by -Cain Velasquez
My dad had to quit school when he was in third grade. My mom had to quit school. They didn't know what I needed, and I didn't know what I needed to keep wrestling and go to school, so that's why I had to go to community college.

Quote by -Cain Velasquez
Things happen for some reason. I don't know what, but I just think about the positives, focus on getting better, and that's it.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
Not being active, your name doesn't go out there as much, and you lose the popularity thing. Also, you're not able to make a living. This is what we do to make a living: we go out there and fight. Not being able to fight for a year and a half and not able to bring in money, it definitely sets you back.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
This whole thing is - our window to be able to fight and make money is very short. It's a short window to be able to take advantage of this and make as much money as we can and save it for the future. When you're not fighting, and the money's not coming in, you can't do that, and that's the part that sucks about this job.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
Partnering with MetroPCS is a great opportunity for me. It's great to be partnered with a company that serves a consumer similar to the UFC and my fan base.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
You have to work your way up the ladder just like everybody else. Nothing is given to you in this world, so you have to work hard.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez

My experience here at the WWE Performance Center has been amazing. I'm just looking forward to being here and learning as much as I can the time that I'm here. I've been a fan of the sport since I was a little kid, and now I get to participate in it.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
Seeing Mexicans in the media is rare. Seeing role models on TV is rare. So who do we look up to? We're not seen on football fields or basketball courts. So we look up to fighters; they're Mexican. They are out there fighting, representing their people, and winning champions. We look up to them.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
I represent hardworking people. That's who raised me. That's who I grew up around.

Quote by -Cain Velasquez
I wasn't thinking that I was going to go through my career undefeated. You expect to lose sometimes.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
The hardest fights I've had have been in the gym, not in the cage. It keeps you motivated. One day, you'll go in and feel like you can beat anybody in the world. The next day, you kind of get humbled. That's what keeps us coming back to train more and more.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
You always try to make your teammates better. You help out your teammates, and they help you out in return. As they get better and better, they can help you more and more. At least, I've always seen it that way.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
You have to set up the right technique to get that takedown. It can't just be any shot. You have to really set it up.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
The mentality is nonstop, to work for what you want, your mind keeping your body in the best shape possible.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
I would go into practice pushing the body despite any injuries. It's a good thing but a bad thing. It's good because your body is quick to adapt, but it's a bad thing because you are forcing your body, and it can't recover as well.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
In training, I felt like my body would switch one way, but my leg would kind of stay in one direction. So I kind of felt like it wasn't stable.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
I think if something's wrong with me, I just kind of work through it. That's my mentality.
Quote by -Cain Velasquez
