There's no buzz like heavyweight buzz.

Cain Velasquez (Pictures)'s UFC debut in Montreal drew a considerable amount of press for an undercard bout.

The reason? The UFC's heavyweight division is in need of youthful prospects to bulk up its ranks, and Velasquez fits the bill: All American wrestling honors at a major D-1 university plus two years of training at American Kickboxing Academy.

The jump to MMA was a carefully crafted career move that Velasquez had been contemplating since his junior year at Arizona State University. College wrestling coach Tom Ortiz had a simple plan and some San Jose connections for Velasquez.
