Tyson Fury and Cain Velasquez’s WWE contracts have been revealed – with former UFC star to become part of main roster

Tyson Fury’s fight with Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel on October 31 will be a one-off – but Cain Velasquez will be a regular for WWE in the years to come.

The former UFC Heavyweight Champion will lock horns with his former octagon rival Brock Lesnar at the showpiece event in Saudi Arabia.

Velasquez beat Lesnar via a first round TKO to take his heavyweight crown at UFC 121 back in 2010.

And now the two meet in the Middle East with the WWE Championship on the line.

ESPN claim that Velasquez is now finished with Mixed Martial Arts – and has signed a long-term contract with the WWE tying himself down to Vince McMahon’s promotion.

The 37-year-old leaves the UFC with a 14-3 record – and has informed Dana White of his MMA retirement.

Fury, on the other hand, will fight Strowman in Riyadh despite having been urged not to engage in physical exercise until at least mid-November after his bruising win over Otto Wallin on September 15.

The Gypsy King required 47 stitches after a nasty cut around his right eye in the gruelling encounter.

Fury’s foray into WWE was initially supposed to be a one-off guest appearance when he confronted Strowman on SmackDown.

But the 31-year-old showed up at Monday Night Raw to demand an apology, which lead to chaos as the warring pair had to be separated – sparking the showdown in Saudi Arabia later this month.

Coming back early after his bout with Wallin has boosted Fury’s global profile hugely – but could put his megabucks rematch with Deontay Wilder on February 22 into jeopardy.

Even his promoter Frank Warren has admitted to being in the dark over Fury’s dabble with WWE.

He said: “I’m still awaiting the call from Tyson to tell me he’s finished with this WWE stuff.”

And while Fury risks further damage by returning to the ring early – he is set to pocket a seven figure fee for his troubles.
