Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez and Brock Lesnar has shared time together inside the squared circle and the Octagon.

Cain beat Lesnar to become the UFC Heavyweight Champion at UFC 121 before debuting in WWE during the first episode of Smackdown on FOX back in 2019 and started a feud with Lesnar, the WWE Champion at the time.

It led to them working a match at Crown Jewel 2019 in Saudi Arabia, where Lesnar defeated him in just over two minutes. This marked Cain’s WWE in-ring debut.

Speaking to Quinton "Rampage" Jackson on the Rampage & Bear podcast, the former UFC star commented on his history with Lesnar. Here are the highlights:

On Brock:

“Brock was a very big upper body, like, just a monster. Yeah, just looking at him, like, in person. Just like a monster. So, I mean, that was a crazy experience, but I knew what I had with that. I was so good at getting out from the bottom, and that whole camp, like, in general, was Daniel Cormier.”

On it being awkward working with someone he fought before:

"I worked with him, yes. I guess [it being awkward]. He was a little scarred up. It's not like we did the thing and it was all good. He has something for life on his face. I don't know if anybody tells him about it or puts it in his face.

On Lesnar as a wrestler:

"He's amazing. He's the real deal. He's legit."

On fighting Brock:

“He moves really fast. And very powerful, like. If he really got a little more comfortable with mixing it up on the striking, like and strike really well. Learn how to use this power and stuff. He would do some stuff. He would kill some people.”
