UFC Heavyweight Champion, Cain Velasquez, is expected to make his return back to action before the end of this year according UFC President Dana White. We haven't seen Velasquez in action since UFC 166 in November 2013. It was expected that Velasquez was to make his next defense against Fabricio Werdum in Mexico in April, but a shoulder injury has caused the champion to stay sidelined since November. There was also a TUF Mexico/Latin America that was expected to be coached by Velasquez and Fabricio Werdum before there title fight that was also haulted due to the injury. Fabricio Werdum didn't want to sit around and wait for the title fight, so he now faces Travis Browne this weekend and the winner of that bout will get Velasquez when he returns. If everything goes as planned, the UFC wants Velasquez to return before the end of the year and face this weekend's winner in Mexico for the UFC's first show in Mexico.
