Cain velázquez's return to the octagon ended in a heartbreaking way in just 26 seconds afterwards such as his battle against Francis Nganu kicked off on Sunday evening.

Velasquez, in the past, a two-time UFC heavyweight favorite, was beyond impact, such as he knocked out Travis brown on July 9, 2016 in the UFC 200. His fight with Ngannou, who worked at the main UFC event at ESPN 1, was bound to resume him in the division. In return stingy have all was been more questions about his future.

The fight, which took place at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, ended quickly, suddenly and negatively for Velasquez.

With 20 seconds counting down over several hours, Velasquez was shooting for a pickup in front of the cage when he arranged it, Nganu seemed to have landed a brief uppercut inside, while Velasquez's knee buckled in and he fell on the Mat.

During this time, the defenseless former champion blocked his head, and Ngannou looked at the ground blows to his downed enemy. The referee, Jason Herzog, seeing actually what Velasquez did not intend to spawn, escaped from the battle. The stop happened at the 26th mark of 1 stanza.

Velasquez arrived for a press conference afterwards battle in a Burgundy sports coat. As soon as he got on the podium, he reached for the microphone and said, “Let's start, I'm ready when you kids are.”

Not strange, exactly what the 1st question Velasquez touched his injuries.

” I simply can't trust that it actually happened, " Velasquez said.

“I had a wonderful camp. Truly, that's all that I had read before (the fight) about how strong I felt, was the truth. I tested myself very well, weakened, and after that arranged this step with my left foot, something jumped out, and after that, when I tried to arrange another step, it betrayed me, my knee elementary betrayed me. I including can't trust, actually that's what happened.”

"Entering (I was) 100% healthy, 100% ready and elementary to this unusual accident, I including can not trust it. It is elementary not easy. It's sports. Just the data we are fond of. Here is exactly that at times is being carried. It is elementary quite sad.”

In the past, the favorite said, the fact that the uppercut was the fact that suppressed it or graduated from a fight. He blamed his corpse for the quick ending.

"Yes, it was just a knee,” said Velasquez. “He including did not touch me. It was just a knee. As soon as I felt the knee buckle, I didn't have a chance to trust that it actually happened, that's all.”

Velasquez said that he had no doubt about the extent of the injury or how long it would keep him outside of the impact, but he said that he had actually experienced that he belonged back in the octagon, and that everyone had experienced themselves perfectly, until his knee threw him.

Velasquez was taken, actually what with how things turned out for him, in fact he will be even more questions to answer in the coming times, when he entered the octagon. He also said that he was ready and able to answer these questions.

"I think I have almost everything to justify, and I'm pretty capable of it," said Velasquez.
