UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez is still on the sidelines, but a target for his return is coming more clearly into focus by the day. Following Velasquez’s most recent victory, over Junior dos Santos at UFC 166 in October, it appeared that the UFC was on course for the champ to next defend his belt this spring in Mexico. That, however, was before Velasquez realized he had a shoulder injury that needed surgery accompanied by several months of rehabilitation. Velasquez had successful shoulder surgery in December, but with several months of recovery and rehabilitation following the operation, the champ is currently still working to get healthy enough to return to training, let alone fighting. He is now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
