Brock Lesnar to defend heavyweight title against Cain Velasquez at UFC121
UFC President Dana White has confirmed that Brock Lesnar will make his next heavyweight title defense against Cain Velasquez at UFC121, scheduled for October 23 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The two were originally meant to meet at UFC 119, but this has been now moved to UFC 121.
Lesnar was previously sidelined due to a mystery stomach illness but recovered in time to defeat Shane Carwin by submission at UFC116 in round 2. Velasquez recently knocked out Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC110 in Australia and has a perfect 8-0 in his MMA career. He’s been waiting for the outcome of the Carwin-Lesnar matchup and should be well rested and ready for his title shot in October.
