Lesnar vs Velasqeuz Official for UFC 121

Quote:

Sorry, Indianapolis. You missed it by that much.

UFC president Dana White got his wish, and heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar (5-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) will return to action sooner rather than later to take on top contender Cain Velasquez (8-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC).

But while UFC 119 was the original target date, Lesnar and Velasquez will instead meet in the main event of UFC 121.

As MMAjunkie.com ( www.mmajunkie.com: www.mmajunkie.com ) first reported, UFC 121 will take place Oct. 23 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

The Lesnar vs. Velasquez matchup was first reported by MMAFighting.com, who confirmed the contest with UFC president Dana White.

Lesnar returned from a year-long layoff and a near-death experience to dismantle interim title holder Shane Carwin at UFC 116 just one week ago. Following the impressive second-round victory, in which Lesnar battled back from adversity in the opening frame and flashed some jiu-jitsu skills in the second, the heavyweight champion was reluctant to commit to a return date and instead stated he was looking forward to a little fall farming.

Instead, he'll have to plant the crops just a little later.

Meanwhile, Velasquez earned his crack at the belt with an impressive knockout of all-time great Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at February's UFC 110 event. Velasquez has been idle since while awaiting the outcome of the Lesnar-Carwin matchup.

A California native and resident, Velasquez's previous win came over Ben Rothwell at UFC 104 in Los Angeles.

Lmao, notice how they write "Pictured: Cain Velasqeuz," its actually a picture of Brock.

HELL MOTHER FUCKEN YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!

I will be able to see my 2 favorite heavyweights at once, sucks they'll be fighting eachother though hahaha whatever !! I'll be at this event thats for damn sure :) if i had to pick a side Team Velasquez is what i'm going with to win.

Brock is bigger, stronger, more powerful, has a better chin, and is vastly better than Cain when it comes to wrestling.

Cain is faster, more crisp with his striking, possibly has better cardio, and has a great camp to help him prepare for this fight.

I'm definitely going with Brock, but both guys are both exciting and talented, and I wouldn't be too upset to see Cain win.

But...it probably won't matter either way, because Brock will win this.

I don't care who wins this fight, should be a great one though.

Exactly how I feel about this fight. Brock should win it, but it will be hell of a match up to see. Cain still brings a lot to the table and can't be completely counted out. Can't wait to watch this one.
