Cain Velasquez on Antonio Silva: I haven't fought anybody like him yet
3-25: "I think the combination [of skills] that he has I haven't fought anybody like him yet"
Cain Velasquez: Antonio has a lot of power in his hands
“He is a big guy and has a lot of power in his hands,” said Velasquez, during a recent edition of “UFC Tonight.” “He is a guy who mixes up everything really well. He is not just a boxer, he is good on the ground, (and) he is a guy who is durable. I have seen his last fights and he doesn’t really get tired out there, so he is going to be in it the whole fight.”
Cain Velasquez:I will try to beat Bigfoot off the quickness
On his plan:
"'Bigfoot's' a big guy, you know? I think he does everything well. He mixes up his punches and kicks really well. For me, I think, with his overall size, I gotta be quicker than him. So, a lot of 'in and out.' If the takedown's there, take it. Just try to beat him off the quickness."
On getting some tips from the Cormier/Silva fight:
"The training sessions with Daniel have been great. The type of athleticism and skill that he brings to this, it's just great to be in with a guy like that, every day, to train with a guy like that, every day. As far as him, with his fight with Silva, he took him apart early. He told me what he felt out there, even though it was short. But, I'm not expecting to fight the same guy that he fought. I'm expecting to fight a better guy. He dismembered him so quickly."

8 Questions for Antonio Silva (March 22):
Sherdog.com: When did the deal get done for your first UFC fight?
Silva: We were negotiating for a few days. It started with Cain Velasquez, but he had undergone elbow surgery and wound up signing to fight against Frank Mir. So, [UFC matchmaker] Joe Silva came up with Roy Nelson, and we agreed to it.
