“Would I ever fight (Cormier)? No, I wouldn’t,” Velasquez said. “I wouldn’t fight him. I think he feels the same way. We’re teammates, we’re friends, we’ve done a lot with each other. I think it would be easy, me and him, just because we spar so much, s**t, it would just be another day at the office.”
Cormier joked that maybe Velasquez was hinting at a move to the 205-pound division as opposed to a battle between friends at heavyweight. It’s a suggestion that Velasquez himself seemed to take lightly, though he does believe he can make the weight should he ever have to go down that road.
“If I had to do it, I could do it,” Velasquez said. “I think it would be hard, but it’s just the will of the person. If I really want to do something, I could do it."
“We talked about it and I’m all for it, I support Daniel 100 percent,” Velasquez said. “I feel like I just have to go back and prove myself. I have to get a fight and show people why everyone should fear me, so I have to go out there, I have to look impressive. I do plan on fighting again, I’ve never had talks of a retirement. Not yet. I still want to do this."
Cain Velasquez explains cryptic tweet, eyes return at UFC 226
Who knows how all this plays out, but I doubt Cain is dropping to LHW! Cain also said he'd like to make his return at UFC 226, on the card with DC/Stipe.
