Though he suffered his first loss in nearly four years, and lost the heavyweight title in the process, former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez is already looking to return.

And according to a report on UFC Tonight, Velasquez came out of his UFC 188 title fight with Fabricio Werdum without any lingering injuries. He'd like to make his return at UFC 192 in Houston in October.

Sources close to Velasquez told Ariel Helwani that he wanted to compete on that particular card because that's the same one his training partner -- and current light heavyweight champion -- Daniel Cormier is hoping to fight on. That event will take place at the Toyota Center on Oct. 3, the same venue that Velasquez defended his title against Junior dos Santos on at UFC 166.

Though he is zeroing in on a date and city, the report said that Velasquez does not yet have an opponent in mind.

I was just saying that Stipie Miocic would be the most ideal opponent. He's coming off a huge win over Mark Hunt, and a match against Cain Velasquez makes a lot of sense at this point.

It'd definitely be a stacked card full of wrestlers if Cain and Cormier got on the card. Could you imagine, Rashad vs Bader, then Cormier vs Gus, and to add to the mix Cain vs Miocic. Would be quite the card if it turns out that way.
