My Take
Velasquez is, for my money, one of the defining heavyweights mixed martial arts has produced. What set him apart was never just power but a cardio engine that let a man his size keep a relentless pace deep into rounds, and he turned that into two reigns as UFC heavyweight champion. His wrestling foundation from Arizona State is the bedrock of all of it. That he later stepped into pro wrestling tells me he simply loves to compete. I admire the craft and the grind behind his run, and I think the sport will measure future big men against the standard he set.
