Cain Velasquez Hints at UFC Comeback 7 Years After Ngannou Fight

Cain Velasquez hints at a comeback 7 years after his last UFC fight against Francis Ngannou.

The 43-year-old former heavyweight champion has been out of the octagon since 2019.

Velasquez faced Francis Ngannou in 2019, losing via uppercut in his last UFC appearance.

He then served 11 months of a five-year prison sentence.

Velasquez has stayed involved in MMA by training fighters at American Kickboxing Academy.

He worked as part of the broadcast team for MVP MMA's first event, featuring Junior dos Santos.

A significant financial offer is required for Velasquez to consider a return to fighting.

He told WeighingIn that "if the money was right then the money is right" but it has to be "really damn good".

Velasquez's potential return could be facilitated by MVP MMA, which has already featured big names like Ronda Rousey.

Rousey's reported payout of $2 million could be an indication of what Velasquez might expect.

Velasquez has not competed in years but has maintained his involvement in the sport.

His experience and name recognition could make him an attractive addition to MVP MMA's roster.

The possibility of Velasquez returning to competition has generated buzz in the MMA community.

As a former UFC heavyweight champion, Velasquez's return would be a significant event.

His last fight was in 2019, and since then, he has been focused on his personal life and training other fighters.

Velasquez's statement about considering a return has sparked interest in a potential comeback.

The terms of his potential return, including the required financial offer, remain to be seen.
