Raising Cain: Rising Heavyweight Velasquez Turning into a Gym Terror

One of the great pleasures in assuming editorial duties on Real Fighter magazine has been the ability to send writer-slash-masochist Eugene Robinson on suicide missions -- Eugene himself considers them �sparring matches� -- with professional fighters. To date, he has been choked, torqued, punched, grabbed and mauled by some of the best: Cung Le once kicked his quadriceps tendon off the bone.



He finds all of this amusing. I do, too, but I would not leave him alone in my house.



Recently, I discussed with Eugene the potential for �relaxed� gym bout with Cain Velasquez, a recent and significant threat to the UFC�s heavyweight division. But Le, who sometimes shares American Kickboxing Academy gym space with Velasquez -- and whom Eugene foolishly begged for a rematch -- told him this was a very, very bad idea.



�Cung looked me in the eyes and said, �Don't do it,�� Eugene recalls.

Ortiz Looking at UFC Return

I�m still not quite amenable to using a person�s Twitter account to source a chunk of commentary, but this is the way of the world at the moment. And so we must pay attention to news out of Dana White�s Blackberry that he and perennial rival Tito Ortiz have apparently buried the hatchet. (Not in the other�s head, as both may have wished at one time, but figuratively speaking.)



�Yes tito and I made up,� White wrote. And later: �Doesn�t mean he�s back it means we aren�t smashing each other anymore and we don�t hate each other.�



I would be shocked if Ortiz didn�t eventually make his way back: The UFC has spent millions of dollars and years of their promotional life in Ortiz, and it makes no sense for him to port that reservoir of fame to another organization.
