Cain Velasquez is recovering well from shoulder surgery that delayed his first title defense. Velasquez is on track to return in October, Dana White said after Wednesday’s UFC 129 press conference.

“Cain’s good,” White said. “He’s coming along great. Actually he’s going to be here for this fight.”

Velasquez (9-0) won the title with a first-round knockout of champion Brock Lesnar in October, improving to 9-0 and 7-0 in the UFC following wins over Cheick Kongo, Ben Rothwell, and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
