|  UFC can't find Cain Velasquez an opponent for UFC 90
MMA Fiend: Brown Pride Scares the UFC HW Division Quote:
The UFC can't find a lamb for Cain Velasquez to slaughter at UFC 90.
Apparently the UFC is having trouble getting anybody decent
to fight Cain due to his lack of name recognition.

He isnt the hugest of names and would get Cain established if he gets the win.

I dont thimk Gonzaga has enough Heart to beat Cain it would be a good fight but I think eventually Cain would break him down and Tko him

From Diego Nightmare's upcoming fight section.
UFC 90 - Silva vs. Cote; October 25th, Chicago
Anderson Silva (#1 MW in world*) vs. Patrick Cote - MW title fight (confirmed)
Diego Sanchez (#6 WW in world*) vs. Thiago Alves (#3 WW in world*) - WW fight (confirmed)
Spencer Fisher vs. Melvin Guillard - LW fight (confirmed)
Thales Leites vs. Goran Reljic - MW Fight (confirmed)
Sean Sherk (#9 LW in world*) vs. Tyson Griffin - LW fight (confirmed)
Hermes Franca vs. Gleison Tibau - LW fight (confirmed)
Pete Sell vs. Josh Burkman - WW fight (confirmed)
Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Horwich - MW fight (confirmed)
Fabricio Werdum (#7 HW in world*) vs. Junior dos Santos - HW fight (rumored)
Rich Clementi vs. TBA - LW fight (rumored)
I don't see what the need is for Cain on this card. He should fight in a fight night around this card.

According to the link (which is from Meltzer) Hardonk was originally slated to be Cain's opponent, but the fight never materialized. Cain would smash Hardonk anyway. I think Eddie Sanchez would be a good choice but he just lost to Hardonk, lol.
I don't know who he should fight.
