Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez isn’t currently thinking about making his Octagon return anytime soon.
Velasquez, who has not fought since 2016, responded to a fan on social media and indicated that he’s planning to continue his recovery from January surgery and spend time with his family, which will be expanding here shortly.

The last time the 35-year-old fought, he finished Travis Browne at UFC 200 in the first round to improve to 5-1 over his last six fights. Velasquez (14-2) holds wins over Junior dos Santos, Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva and Brock Lesnar to his credit.
