"It's My Time Now"
 Deep in the heart of the Acer Arena in Sydney, Cain Velasquez waited.
He was thousands of miles from his home and loved ones, preparing to fight in the main event of a major UFC show for the first time in his career. In a few short minutes, Velasquez would walk down the aisle to face his toughest challenge yet. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira became a icon in the sport by defying the odds, by taking enough punishment to fell a horse and still pull out miraculous victories. Nogueira was struck by a car as a child, a terrible accident that few believed he’d survive. But Nogueira was a fighter, and the only physical reminder of that day was the deep scar crossing his back. He was still considered to be one of the top fight heavyweights in the world, and his game was on a different level than anything Velasquez had seen thus far.

The UFC heavyweight title picture just got more crowded, as Cain Velasquez emerged a bona fide contender at UFC 110 on Sunday after his first-round technical knockout of fighting legend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in Sydney, Australia.
Velasquez, 27, a two-time All-American for Arizona State University, never needed to lean on his wrestling pedigree, instead catching the former Pride and UFC interim champion with a right hand that sent the Brazilian to the canvas for the stoppage at 2 minutes, 20 seconds into the first round.
