Heavy speculation that UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez would make his first title defense against Junior Dos Santos in Toronto came to naught today with news that Velasquez is on the bench with an injury. American Kickboxing Academy trainer Javier Mendez today told MMAjunkie.com that the champ injured his right shoulder during a winning bid for Brock Lesnar's title at UFC 121.
When a second MRI this past week revealed a badly torn rotator cuff that could bench Velasquez for a minimum of four to six months - if not longer - a defense in April became unrealistic.
