Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez said that during his career he looked up to Fedor Emelianenko.

“The fighter I’ve always looked up to and who I wanted to test myself against is probably Emelianenko. Obviously, I wanted my skills to be as good as his, or to develop into something similar. This could be a fight in which I would have to work carefully in the stand,” Emelianenko told the Weighing In podcast.

Let us remember that Velasquez hung up his gloves in 2019.
