Cain Velasquez recently filmed an episode of Sport Science in which his cardio, lactic acid tolerance and punching and takedown power were measured.

Velasquez's results were off the charts.

His conditioning levels were comparable to that of an endurance athlete, but the most shocking stat came from Cain's left hand in the form of a left hook.

According to stats compiled by the accelerometers in the Sport Science heavy bag, Velasquez's body shot was the hardest punch ever thrown on the show which has hosted professional boxers like James Toney as well as Cain's fellow MMA fighters Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Houston Alexander and UFC Hall-of-Famer Randy Couture.
