03:45 PM ET 02.04 | After the surprising knockout of Alistair Overeem, UFC heavyweight Cain Velasquez doesn't have a clear-cut opponent for his next fight. Velasquez has said in the past he doesn't want to fight his teammate Daniel Cormier next, but UFC president Dana White said it might be possible. "They're pretty serious guys, and like I always say, it's all about proving who the best is. 'That guy might be my friend, but I know what he's got, and I know what I get when I get that belt.' Because all the guys who've got a champ in their camp, they see how these guys live and what the deal is when you've got that belt. When you've got that belt, it's a whole other ballgame," said White.
