Daniel Cormier, on “Beatdown,” discussing how his wrestling training sessions go with American Kickboxing Academy teammate Cain Velasquez:

“It’s pretty close. It’s pretty close now. It’s pretty close. ... It’s very competitive. Cain’s a good wrestler. It’s not like he’s just some guy with average wrestling skill. If he would have continued to wrestle post-college, I think he would have been one of the guys that was in the mix to make an Olympic team. He’s a very good wrestler, and being that we have wrestled so much, things change. When you wrestle a guy that much, it’s really hard to even score a takedown sometimes. Sometimes I can’t even get a takedown through the whole day of training. It’s very hard. Sometimes we’ll wrestle five-minute rounds, and there will be no takedowns. Outside of him being extremely intense and the pace that he wrestles at is so high, he’s a very, very good wrestler. Good technically and strong and big.”

Trainer Bob Cook, on “The Savage Dog Show,” discussing Cain Velasquez’s UFC 146 bout against Antonio Silva: “I think if [Daniel Cormier] hadn’t have done what he did to [Silva], there would be much different talk [about] this fight. If he had never fought D.C. and this was coming off that Fedor fight and he was now fighting Cain, the hype that would be on this fight would be incredible. Everybody would be saying, ‘This is going to be an eliminator fight. It’s going to be this huge fight.’ But because D.C. took care of him the way that he did, I think people are underestimating Antonio Silva on what his accomplishments have been in the past.”

The Sherdog Radio Network was live Saturday night following the conclusion of the UFC's Fox television debut. For two hours Jordan Breen and I chatted about the "UFC on Fox 1" card.

It took just 69 seconds for Junior dos Santos to make himself heavyweight champion after defeating the previous undefeated Cain Velasquez. Jordan and I talk about the fight, the ending, and what this does for mixed martial arts in the "mainstream" world.
