Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez Confirmed For UFC 121 In Anaheim

[B-Buzz]

Brock Lesnar will make his next title defense against Cain Velasquez at UFC 121.

UFC president Dana White confirmed with MMA Fighting Friday night that the heavyweight title fight will take place at the yet-to-be officially announced event, scheduled for Oct. 23 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

Lesnar, 5-1, is coming off a riveting second-round submission win over Shane Carwin at UFC 116 last weekend in Las Vegas. Prior to the win, he had been on the sidelines due to a battle with diverticulitis.

Meanwhile, Velasquez most recently knocked out Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 110 in Australia this past February. The American Kickboxing Academy member is a perfect 8-0 in his MMA career.

The last UFC event to be held at the Honda Center in Anaheim was UFC 76 in September 2007, which was highlighted by Keith Jardine's upset win over Chuck Liddell.

Also rumored for this card is Sam Stout vs. Paul Taylor.

There's also rumors of Rampage vs. Machida/Forrest and Vitor vs. the Anderson/Sonnen winner, but those seem more like headliners so I wouldn't hold my breath.

this would make up for the UFC 100 card that fell apart due to injuries

I went to the Hughes vs Penn rematch at the Honda Center.
Someone gave me 2 free tickets. It was actually pretty decent. The ones in Vegas that I've been too are flooded with Tap Out bros.

I might go to this one. Waiting to see what the rest of the card looks like.

[SLRider510]

Imma brock fan... but gotta stay with my people on this one.. BROWN PRIDE!!!

 

[MOREBASS]

I'm going to this for sure. I'm gonna take my son to this one since his birthday is in October too, and Disneyland is right around the corner. He's becoming quite the UFC fan at 7 years old. LOL. Should be dope. I'm a Brock fan, but I gotta root for Cain on this one!


Although I gotta say, he's giving up a lot of size in this one. Should be interesting.

I'm still bitter that I'm gonna miss the Oakland card live, so this somewhat makes up for that.

 

[N$$J RYDA 408]

[BROWN GUERRERO]
