Sherdog.com StaffOct 24, 2010

UFC hall of famer Randy Couture (pictured) weighed in on the performance of newly-crowned heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez on Saturday’s ESPN2 “MMA Live” UFC 121 special:

“I think he’s got the total package. The work ethic; the conditioning, he’s put a well-rounded game together. He’s coming off his All American status as a collegiate wrestler.

“He showed some ground skills tonight. Using his feet; using the butterfly guard to get back up off the bottom underneath a huge man. He did what a lot of people didn’t think could be done tonight.”
