#2 Cain Velasquez
Two Reigns
Two Defences
Cain Velasquez impressed the world when he destroyed the "Beast" Brock Lesnar at UFC 121 in just four minutes, overpowering the Champion to win his first UFC Heavyweight Championship.
Velasquez was tipped to hold the title for a long time but surprisingly dropped the strap in his first defence versus Junior Dos Santos in a thrilling encounter on November 12, 2011 on UFC's debut on Fox Television.
Velasquez was knocked out in just 64 seconds as he suffered his first ever MMA loss.
He soon bounced back in style, however, avenging his loss to Dos Santos in a re-match at UFC 155, winning a Unanimous Decision in a classic bout.
Velasquez next took just 81 seconds to dispatch the intimidating Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva at UFC 160 before defending the belt in another classic versus Dos Santos. In a bloody fight, Velasquez knocked out his great rival in the fifth round following a slam and punches.
That was to be his final defence of the Championship as he lost the strap to Brazilian, Fabricio Werdum at UFC 188 on June 13, 2015, choked out in the second round.
Velasquez has fought just once more since then with injury causing his UFC future to be questioned. Regardless of whether the two time Champion ever returns or not, his explosive striking style and classic Championship battles ensure his is a legacy that will endure.
