Atop tierUFC performer was at Full Sail University, this week
Those who follow UFC probably know Cain Velasquez very well. He is best known for his victories against Brock Lesnar and Antonio Silva. The two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion was at ringside, lending credibility to the NXT brand, this week.
It's always great to see this kind of crossover take place considering how many common fans there are between MMA and sports entertainment. If only Brock Lesnar would oblige and show up at ringside, once in a while!
