Posted by Joshua Wood (Editor in Chief)Oct 8
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
