For Cain Velasquez, it's ethics, not ethnicity, that provide key to UFC 121 success

While much of the focus regarding Cain Velasquez's bid for the UFC heavyweight title at this weekend's UFC 121 event has centered around the challenger's prospects of becoming the promotion's first Mexican heavyweight champion, he refuses to let the expectations of a nation weigh him down.

Sure, Velasquez is proud of his heritage (witness his oft-discussed "Brown Pride" tattoo).

But when he faces Brock Lesnar Saturday at UFC 121, the 28-year-old believes it will be his work ethic - and not his ethnicity - that will be tested.
