  • Summary

  • Cain Velasquez went from being the son of immigrants, to the heavyweight MMA champion of the world, to a jail inmate. But his origin story is the epitome of the American dream. Velasquez’s parents were farm workers across the western US when he was a boy, and sometimes he helped them in the fields. Their work ethic and sacrifices inspired Velasquez to strive harder than anyone in everything he did. He went from being a decorated high school wrestler, to a college champion, and on to the MMA where he was lauded for his own work ethic and endurance. When he married Michelle Barquez, his focus turned to her and their growing family. According to everyone who knows him, he became widely known as “a teddy bear”.
