MMA Valor participated in today’s conference call with Cain Velasquez and Ben Rothwell for their upcoming fight at UFC 104. Here is a recap of the 40 minute call:

Right now Cain weighs 240 and Ben weighs 265

Ben doesn’t think there is enough fighters for a super heavy Division (235lbs-265lbs)

Both fighters didn’t change their training after opponents were changed

Ben likes the tough fight with Cain over Chase Gromley as a win would get him in the heavyweight mix faster

Ben last fought in December but isn’t worried about the 10 month layoff

Cain thinks Brock Lesnar will have the slight advantage over Shane Carwin at UFC 106

Cain also thinks that a fight with Lesnar would be much tougher then one with Carwin for him

Ben thinks a fight with Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira would be the toughest out of the three top contenders

Cain expects a much tougher fight with Ben then his last fight vs. Cheick Kongo

Ben is prepared for the boo’s from the heavy Latino crowd in LA as the underdog to Cain
