Similarly to Cristiano Ronaldo, Velasquez has a genuine ambition to be the best on his sport and has fought and beaten many great names such as Brock Lesnar (in UFC 121) or the Brazilian Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueira (in UFC 110).

There are a few physical differences between these two great athletes that we can outline as a curiosity. Despite the picture shown on this page may suggest a big difference in heights, Cristiano Ronaldo is 1,86m tall and Cain Velasquez 1,85m.
