“Yeah December 29th my rematch with Dos Santos is coming up and I’m just ready for this. This is a loss that’s been in the back of my head for a year now. Can’t wait to get in there and bring that belt back to Arizona. … You always have it in the back of your head. It’s always a reminder that hey I need to keep training harder and get back to a point where you were before that and that was at the top. That’s the whole thing of doing this sport now is trying to be at the top.”

Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez recently revealed to XTRA Sports 910 in Phoenix with Bickley and MJ that he has been bothered by his first career defeat ever since it happened a year ago.

He gets the chance to avenge his loss and regain his title this December at UFC 155.
