Cain Velasquez

He won the UFC heavyweight championship over Brock Lesnar at UFC 121 in October 2010. There was another magazine in the console that had three bullets, and two .40-cliber casings were found in the passenger seat. The report said Velasquez followed a woman and another man, who was later identified as Harry Goularte Jr. Velasquez, 39, was formally charged on Wednesday, and a San Jose Police Department report shed some light on the incident and gave an alleged motive behind the shooting.

A victory on Saturday should secure the winner a title show, but that could be delayed pending the results of the second A. J. McKee vs. On the undercard, a potential middleweight title challenger could emerge when Johnny Eblen meets John Salter. Eblen enters a perfect 10-0 so far in his career just five years into his pro MMA run. What he has an advantage in is, I don't know," Burnell said.

He captured the Cage Warriors Fighting Championship featherweight crown and defeated Emmanuel Sanchez in his third Bellator bout.
