- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- At the start of the last decade, Cain Velasquez devastated his opponents on the feet, overwhelmed them on the ground, and never allowed a second of respite inside the cage. Now, the former champion faces a potential 20-year prison sentence. While Cain grapples with the justice system, let's take a journey in his fighting footsteps: from remarkable triumphs to heartbreaking tragedies.
He is my fav heavyweight champion. No trash talk, humble and focused. He never waisted time when he was in cage.
And no steroids
@@hwajen6716 we dont know that
@@hwajen6716that you know of 😂
Guess you missed out on the greatest mma fighter ever then.. who was the archetype of that very type....
Yes, he's a humble person with deadly skills, worth being a champ among champs.
Not just a champion but a humble Man
He's da best of us and they wanna lock him up. They did it to Christ and still getting away with it.
s humble felon
@@last7509better a humble felon than a defender of child molesters. 🤡
@@bobbazoid909 Compare him to Christ? Gadz!
@@gregorio3139 like Christ.
A man defending his family should NEVER be put in jail
the 4 year old died and if he wasnt taking care of them he paid someone to do it day care ita not like his a whitecollar worker
You’re extremely ignorant and naive kid.
@@santosmendoza-xv7fdThe hell you talking about? Cain’s kid didn’t die…
I agree. My life would be over if someone did that to one of my children.
Unfortunately, it happened in California, where criminals and especially pedos get coddled and special treatment.
What a humble man. In victory, In defeat, and the will to protect his family. This people is a MAN.
Whatever I will make sure he's done closest to him ..
This person/persons. You shouldn’t assume someone else’s gender.
wow, so trying to kill a person with no regards of the consequences is now humble - no wonder the whole world regard Americans as dumb.
@@macysondheim every comment you left on this video is more and more idiotic
idiots everywhere today and UFC viewers surely don't put up with gender politic shit lol. Chinese politics can stay in California. @@rancidcrawfish
What he did inside the UFC octagon was mind-blowing. But what he did for his family was from his heart. Free Cain!
💯🇲🇽🇲🇽
Wait , he went back to prison again?
Free Cain!
he did what any father would do
Nothing mind blowing about his performance at all.
Went from beating Brock Lesnar in UFC and being in WWE making a million bucks to possibly 20 years is insane. He's a real father warrior and man and deserves to be free with his family.
demons on the way up and on the way down
what is he acused of?
@@unghiuriyoszug3891 I think it was that of Cain chasing and shooting at a guy that was accused of abusing a child that was one of his family members
@@unghiuriyoszug3891shooting at the guy whom molested his little boy.
@luismarcialvergaradiaz5363 the guy who tried to or did abuse one of his kids was supposed to be in jail but a crappy judge let the person out so Cain went after the guy and shot at the truck the guy was in from what I saw/heard on the news the day it happened.
Cain was an absolute monster in the cage..Great coach at the moment too and seems like a nice guy to be around.
Sportmanship, no trash talk, humble, respectful, protector of his whole family. The youngest ones should take exemple on him.
🙏I pray for him for his trial🙏
God bless🙏 Velasquez, a humble, no trash talk, family oriented and always polite. A true warrior at heart. Free Cain Velasquez!!!!❤🙏🙏🙏
oh yeah real polite 😂
Why would u want him released? did he not do, what they took him in for?
@@DuLiet he beat the guy, that raped his little girl, to death... thats what he is prison for, yes FREE CAIN VELASQUEZ!!!
Best fighter, best character, best father.
ABSOLUTELY!!!🇺🇸
Not a chance. Even himself said Fedor 😂
U know this foresure. He's a good man but the best. Really?
"50 strikes later it was enough, even for Mario Yamasaki" 😂
I was looking for this for so long..😂😅😂
I was delighted to stumble upon this video. As a huge MMA fan, I'm always shocked when I see someone post a "The Best" list online and Cain isn't mentioned anywhere. Cain was the best - an absolute wrecking machine.
I love this, great humble man, and obviously a great father raised by a great man as well. Any great dad would do the same thing he did to the man who molested his son, I stand with Velasquez.
Agree those BS charges need to be dropped.
I hope you're sarcastic, what kind of caring father wouldn't notice his child getting molested over 100 times. Also how he did it is just dumb, shooting out of a rolling car? Amateur.
@@josipX stfu it's a 4 year old. do you know how hard it is to understand when there's something going on and your kid is that age?
@@josipXexactly the point. He has no experience planning a crime. This was what's called a crime of passion. It's a thing. Go forth and educate yourself, grasshopper.
@@scottnaylon he was and still is a horrible father and he deserves to be locked up. Poor child of his, nothing more...
This man is a hero. Dont send him to prison.
The sport. Not the organisations is a pure and honest sport. It’s hard to run with goat labels, but Cain was unbelievable man. Machine.
I remmeber watching this live, this is when i became Cain Fan.
Injuries kept Cain from achieving his full potential. I truly believe if he was able to stay healthy and active, he would've been unquestionably the greatest heavy in MMA history(or at the very least, UFC history). His workrate, skillset and power were all there. He also had speed for a heavy, and as Aspinall just showed - speed kills.
lacking power but incredible motor
@@last7509 Nog's chin that hadn't been busted till then wants a word about the power comment.
@J-SEMTEX Didn't KO him, though. At least not out cold, and not until a few knockdowns in.
@@last7509lacking power?
Did u not just watch this video?
@J-SEMTEXFrank Mir looked awesome in that fight & and yes, it's difficult to see if Nogeira went out or not tbh but that Cain combo was absolute 🔥
First ever UFC/MMA fight i watched as a child happened to be Cain vs Bigfoot Silva as a child, i was a kid watching this beast maul another mammoth of a human on the ground for several rounds while having him swimming in his own blood. Cain got me into MMA with his sheer dominance and excellent abilities and remains my favourite fighter ever.
"watching this beast maul another mammoth of a human on the ground for several rounds"
You do realize that neither of Cain's fights with Bigfoot went beyond the first round, right?
fair enough you are correct, but as I stated at the beginning I was a child. I'm not going to remember exactly how long the fight lasted and i never went back to check again. What i will say however is that it was such a one-sided mauling and brutal beat down that it felt a lot longer than it did@@dreamsofcosmicoceans8105
Asa child? What you 18? Go to bed son
@@Liefvikerson ?
Cain was really one of the best & super exciting to watch fight.
Also he's an absolute Hero Caring & Dedicated Father, God Bless him.
Our Champion Came From The Farm Fields And Forever His Name Will Be Engrave In History Of MMA.
CAIN WE STAND WITH YOU TILL THE END.
Awesome and humble. Probably the most humble man fighter i ever saw
Thank you for making this. Cain deserves this tribute. Hope it all goes well for him.
This was one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. Very well done.
Velasquez was dignified in the in his fighting career. No trash talk or show-boating + he took his defeats like a real man!.
Cain Velasquez. MMA Legend and Inspiration to many of us around the world. He was an amazing athlete and set a great example.
Free Cain 🙏👆
Diaz Bros. and Cain have always been my favorites.
If he never had injuries he would have been the greatest of all time
Stipe left the chat

@@Hotep982 cope
@@Nik29austria bro it's not that deep it's an opinion find a better insult
Humble man in victory and In defeat. Best father who protect his family no matter what the outcome will be.
I would say that Caine Velazquez Is indeed a high caliber man. in more than one way.
Such a humble dude, one of my favourites, for sure. Wish him all the best in his personal life!
I'll never forget when I was a kid at Disneyland with my parents, I spotted Brock Lesnar and called out to him. He was with his family too but he was nice enough to stop and quickly talk with me. He was a giant, probably felt bigger too cause I was probably 13 or 14, definitely will remember that. Plus those were back in the days he wasn't so famous that he could walk around without a bunch of people noticing him.
thank you very much for these fantastic fightsport documentations! great work!
Cain doesn't need 20 years he deserves freedom and respect
Nope
Wow...what a champion, what a human being. So humbled. I pray and hope the judge would set him free.
Don Frye, Bas Rutten, Cain Valesquez, and Tony Ferguson are the most brutal and iconic figures I've seen fighting. I'm watching these kind of fights for more than 30 years. They're my all time favs ever!
That's a good list.
You can't have Tomy Ferguson on that lost while leaving Justin Gaethje off it. Even the fights he lost the other fighter usually ended up feeling the results of the fight far worse than Gaethje. Even Khabib had a hard time walking after just a couple kicks he took from Gaethje. What Gaethje did to Ferguson officially broke Ferguson and will be remember as the guy who retired Ferguson with the only problem being Ferguson still hasn't figured out he is no longer the boogeyman that he was prior to stepping in the cage with Gaethje.
@@MidgetPunterman crush?

The 2nd and 3rd fight with Dos Santos were the most entertaining heavyweight bouts ever
I've been waiting all week for this. LET'S GO
Not a huge fan of the never ending takedowns but Cain was definitely a beast.
That's what made it exciting. He wasn't just lay and pray, it was non stop action.
You're one of many fans that just loves k.o.'s and blood.......Play video games 12 hrs a day much over the yrs ?
What a weird comment lol@@shanghunter7697
The god thing about Cain is he didnt ride it out on top. He ground and pounded. But he had a quality stand up game also and utilized it a lot.
You need to watch boxing then
Cain needs to reject all plea deals offered and be tried by a jury. No way will any jury convict him on those charges 👍🏻
So true. FREE CAIN!!!
You saying that shows me you don't much about the American justice system. Morally Cain should be a free man today because most fathers would went further than he did in the same situation, but the justice system doesn't work like that unfortunately.
You would be surprised. But I don't totally disagree. As an attorney, I have been shocked by jury verdicts before. Both ways.
I think if he'd have done it with his hands it would have been a different story. The fact that he allegedly endangered other innocent people is what really screwed him.
Idk, see what so many have had done to them as well as what's happening NOW to some of the most powerful leaders we have.
FREE CAIN LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA
I want to take a minute to say " Besides scratching and crawling one's way to achieve the American Dream" You are a true power of example!!! Making your parents as well as already established Americans so very proud of you!! To the point of tears.. Working so hard, for so little.Changing the persona of your culture forever ( from your father's stock)! I'm Italian and carried an already heavy cross until I shook what the people thought of me and my people! Working hard loosing any trace of an accent..Sad but I feel they must have that feeling of knowing you INSIDE & OUT..Until you can $ afford $ to drive your own bus..They will continue to love you forever.. Anyways a PLEASURE to watch,, You are a gift to our country!! 🙏 Stay healthy and love on your family.. Toast each 🌞 sundown with wine 🙏❤️
Cain is a true warrior. Miss seeing him in the cage. A good, honest, hard working, humble man, who was protecting his family. I truly hope everything works out for him.
They should make a movie about this HW GOAT
Cain Velasques is my favourite heavyweight champion.
To je největší borec který dal divákovi a celé kleci nejkrásnější období. To umí jen ten, kdo má dobrou čistou duši ❤. Přeji ti štěstí, pozdravuji rodinu
Love watching him go through Brock like he was a child 😂
Brock had stomach issues that night. He was hospitalized for them after that fight. I take nothing from Cain but Brock was not healthy
@@johnreidy2804 yep Brock was trying to fix it with medicine, but eventually ended up getting a foot of his colon removed
@@leonardharris9678 Yeah, he was not himself for that fight.
Respect Sir
@@johnreidy2804 He appeared fine in the fight. His style was the same. He might not have felt great, but I really don't think it made a bid difference. I mean Shane Carwin almost finished him in 1 round and Alistair did finish him in 1 round. Those are two guys Cain would have destroyed. I think the fight goes the same with Brock. Regardless, Brocks a warrior. Very talented guy.
this man is awesome. humble as I watch.. but surely soft hearted person.
I hope he is cleared of all charges ❤
He was sooooo tough ! I remember watching him on the way up. I thought nobody’s gonna beat this guy. Dangerous game. Nice to see he came back after defeat. He’s a great model .model person I mean
Though short lived... No one's prime was as dominant as Cain's. I always wondered if he was ever that healthy to begin with. I really wonder what a truly PRIME Cain would have done in there with Jon Jones. What a dream superfight that would have been. It was hard to see his health decline so quickly. Especially that car accident with Francis... Yikes! Absolute HW GOAT of his era though.
Vc , já sabe o resultado da luta entre Cain e Jon Jones ! Cain iria atropelar Jones com muita facilidade...
Cain's career was short and his many injuries were due in large part (Mostly) by his conditioning coach (Joe Grasso), who had him do heavy excessive wrong and bad techniques to show off for the camera. Cain destroyed his body. If you saw his 203 lbs. kettlebell swings (25 reps) and 300 lbs. (100 reps) leg extensions, you will know why Cain was constantly injured. Shoulders, back, and knees.
Cain was not the greatest HW in UFC history. That was actually funny to read.
How was Cain's prime more dominant than Ngannou's entire UFC tenure especially post the first Stipe fight?
He would smash Jones imo.
I would have done the same thing. This man deserves justice but sadly we are living in a captured operation. FREE CAIN!!!!
A great one in deed. We can all pray for a good man.
Cain Velasquez… the Andy Ruiz of MMA
Prime Cain is the true GOAT. No Steroids!
LOL he got knocked the F out in 10 seconds by Ngannou - GTFO
@@stanwilson7040 Bihhhh that's not prime cain u casual 🤡 francis got destroyed by prime stipe couldn't even beat derrick lewis lol and got outboxed by out of shape tyson fury lmao your hero francis got ghettogagged 💀💯

For real thou...
@@stanwilson7040kiddo ngannou knocked out an old Velasquez prime velasquez will outbox and outwrestle him
This man should be given a medal not prison... We are all supporting you dude world wide
Can't take the law into your own hands and where are idiots like you not petitioning a law to justify something like this. 😂
Sea level Cain vs prime Fedor would have been ATG fight status. In the history books!!
Yeah, that would have been awesome.
Love the fact that he's a heavy weight yet he's cardio is awesome
Free Cain Velasquez 🙏
The highlights with the music at the end of the video was awesome. Super epic highlight reel and the song worked great with it.
6:24 "It was too much even for Mario Yamasaki" 😂😂😂
The fight to make would have been Pride era Fedor VS Cain. The power, speed and endurance would never be outdone. Yes JBJ is now heavyweight, wonderful. Is there anyone who is a real test of his talents. I always wished Rumble would get a crack at JBJ as champ. Yes AJ lost to DC, but Jones is hittable, and AJ hit a bit different to most.
fedor is a animaL Besides that Fedor had a long winning streak of 28 fights from 2001 to 2009, which is one of the longest undefeated streaks in MMA history he would do caine real badly @MatthewCLocke
Velasquez f***ing the juiced up lessner up! was frankly one of the best moments in fight history.
❤ Cain Velasquez , anyone looking for a positive role model need look no further. Great man, great champion, great attitude and most important of all a great father. I'd have loved him to have gotten his hands on the p.o.s. who done that to his kid, although I'm convinced he'd be looking at a murder charge right now. RESPECT to a real man 💪
Agreed. I've been saying that since the incident. If he had used his hands, then Goularte would probably be buried right now. However, since Cain used a firearm, the prosecutor can argue that he put innocent bystanders in jeopardy. I'm a father myself, so I can completely understand wanting justice, I just wish he had found a way to obtain vengeance without ending up in prison. With any luck, he will end up getting a lighter sentence than the 20-year maximum penalty.
Mad respect for this dude..
Cain is a beast, too bad his no nonsense ballistic mauling style also become his downfall because of many injuries 😢
muchas gracias por esto, lo necesitaba ;)
The best mma channel love the narration lol!
Free Cain!! Whatever happens keep your head up high brother!! You've done well and you did the right thing

First time watching this channel. Best fight commentary on RUclips! You earned this subscription!
Cain Velasquez in his prime was definitely the best heavyweight fighter ever. A prime Cain would have mauled every single top heavyweight fighter of today!
Except Ubereem
Lol. You must have missed his fight against Ngannou.
you dumb?@@harrylarge9403
@@harrylarge9403I think he said prime cain
Jon Jones would defeat him. And I might say easily
Much respect for this man … Regardless of what the law may say I would of done the same if not worse.. I wish u the best and keep u in my prayers not only u but ur whole family !!
Love the commentary!
I hope he gets either probation or a short term of no more than 1-2 years. I'd plead temporary insanity, if possible, considering what happened to his kid. He's a good guy, not a criminal.
Cain is pure class. Had every right to stand up for his child. All the best. Men like this make the world a better place. His parents seem real nice too.
Always enjoyed his fights and his respect to the sport
All those charges against Cain need to be dropped. That is some BS.
Honor and respect to Cain Velasquez. Doing what's right in and out of the octagon
I actually forgot he got in all that trouble. I used to love watching Velasquez. When he took out Nogueira I was all-in. Werdum is no joke though, he took out how many heavyweights? Like, all of them? Can't fault Cain there. Battle of the Baddest motherfuckers
Yeah, the Werdum fight was very clearly affected by the sea level. That was a huge advantage to Fabricio. He definitely loses as sea level.
Velasquez and Emelianenko.........humble and respectfull......
Some people say if he wouldn't have gotten the injueries he would have been the best ever.
Guys THE REASON he was so good is BEACAUSE he trained so long and hard.
He didn t know when to stop.
His biggest talents and injuries came to life had the same origin:
LONG, HIGHLY INTENSE training.
You can't separate the two.
No because his boxing was crap and nobody has seen his ground game but lol nobody could take Cain to the ground when he was champ lol
well it’s true, if he didn’t have any injuries he’d be the greatest hw ever. it’s like me saying if I was invincible no one could beat me. it’s a fact. if cain had no injuries he’d be the best hw ever.
This, like all the others I have seen, is very good! I want to thank you for helping develop a concise understanding of the people behind the sport. May my blessing find you. 🙏
So deserving of a video, the Dominick Cruz of Heavyweight he coulda been the easy Goat but injuries ruined the career😔
Thank You for the invite
A prime healthy Shane Carwin was the absolute scariest HW ever, most underappreciated also.
Maybe, he had very powerful hands. It's very hard to say who's really the goat in Heavy weight
Him and Cain were at one point almost booked by the UFC to fight.
@@pesyt1033
I'm not saying he's the G.O.A.T, but he was the scariest.
For me, Prime Cain Velasquez beat anyone in their prime, and I'm talking every fighter including gsp, jones and khabib , he the perfect athlete, fast heavy hands, perfect chin, brutal ground game and constant pressure, he's the exact fighter you would create in the game he's versatile in ever department. It's just a shame his career ended short from injuries.
38:52 Nearly 40 YO & still able to do that.. wow!
I’ve been watching this UFC fights since 2008 and Cain Velazquez is by far my favorite and to me the best MMA fighter of all times. Strong, smart, versatile, best cardio abilities like no other, professional, disciplined, friendly, respectful, no trash talking, a humble and mature guy, a good friend, husband, son and father. So many attributes that it’s so unfair and disgusting to see a child m0lester getting out on bail so fast while a protective and caring father just did what any of us would’ve done in the same situation stayed 8 months in prison and a potential 20 yr sentence if found guilty of at least half of the charges. Our justice system is so stupid and disgusting.
I would NEVER convict him if I was a juror! Fucking hero
Loved the way brock lesnar shoved that cop aside when he was making his entrance it was funny as hell.😂😂😂😂
The cop had to take it because of the situation as well lol. We know on the street that cop never would have taken that.
Hope his court case goes good for him and his family.
Good man, Good friend, Good family man, And respectful good boxer. He is and will be remembered this way. WE ALL HAVE OUR TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS IN OUR PERSONAL LIVES AT SOME POINT. HIS FAITH WILL GET HIM THRU IT (NO DOUBT). E DIOS DE VENDIGA.
God bless him
dios te bendiga campeon velaskez...💪🇲🇽🇱🇷🫶💪🥵
Free my boi Cain
The Dagastanis love their bro from AKA ❤
Cain took the soul of JDS
Only if stipe ...Ngannou ...and frank Mir arent fighting.
I don't know about that. Ngannou is definately the most freakishly gifted heavyweight probably in combat sports history next to George Foreman, and Sonny Liston. Ngannou beat Cain quickly, but I don't think Ngannou is a better overall fighter than Cain was. Stipe is the most accomplished heavyweight of all time, but I think a prime Cain beats him 2 out of 3 times just due to Cain's style. Frank Mir is a legendary heavyweight, and one of the absolute greatest the division has ever seen, but a prime Cain was a ruthless savage with unlimited cardio and aggression. It would depend on whether Frank could take the punishment from Cain, and catch him in a submission. Frank did it to Lesnar, and Noguiera, so he definately had the ability to make it happen, but Cain was so great at maintaining balance, and scrambling quickly before his opponents could react to what he was doing, plus he used his ground and pound at the same time as his scrambling. All of those guys are the absolute best the division has ever had to offer. I would throw Couture in there as well, but Couture was more of a natural LHW, and was a bit undersized for a HW. Still, he was also one of the greats of that division.
@donavonhoward114 Ngannou beat both Cain and his greatest rival JDS very easily. No contest at all. Ngannou is not just crazy strong, he's also a better striker than both.
Frank Mir? He lost to Brock, JDS, and all kinds of guys.
@@harrylarge9403 The reason Ngannou loses to prime Cain is style. He also loses to Cormier. Stipe who's not even a good wrestler dominated him. I mean Francis might get lucky and knock Cain out, but 4 out of 5 times both Cormier and Cain easily beat him. The evidence is there. Francis is a great fighter though. You realize JDS was NEVER the same after getting demolished by Cain right. Francis did not beat a prime JDS at all. JDS was not even close to the same guy when he fought Francis. He was worse in every way possible. I'm surprised you didn't know that about JDS. He fell off a ton.
