Number One UFC Heavyweight contender Cain Velasquez (8-0, 6-0 in UFC) will be fighting for the UFC title on October 23rd when he fights Brock Lesnar in Anaheim, CA and in a recent interview spoke about getting signed by the UFC with only two fights under his belt and UFC President Dana White never seening one of his fights:

I had two fights on my CV and wanted to fight in other shows before going to the UFC, to get some experience. But It was really hard to get fights with other organizations, so my manager said: ‘We haven’t fought in a long time, we can’t wait any longer. It’s time to call up the UFC.’ He made the call, made Dana White an offer and we went to Vegas. We took two fighters with us and Dana watched me standing with those two fighters and doing Jiu-Jitsu with another two heavyweight athletes. He liked what he saw and told me I was in the UFC.
