Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez Confirmed For UFC 121 In Anaheim
- Thread starter B-Buzz
- Start date
I will have to disagree. They are pretty close and I would give the edge to Shields since his biggest win is bigger than Kampmann's biggest win. (Dan Henderson) Now I do agree that with this being his first fight in the UFC he needs to have a good showing.

Matt Hamill vs. Tito Ortiz added to UFC 121 in October
At UFC 121, teacher will meet student.
A light heavyweight matchup featuring former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz (15-7-1 MMA, 14-7-1 UFC) and the man he coached on "The Ultimate Fighter 3," Matt Hamill (9-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC), has been added to the pay-per-view event.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) confirmed with sources close to the event that bout agreements were recently distributed for the contest. MMAFighting.com first reported the matchup.
Featuring a heavyweight title clash between champion Brock Lesnar and challenger Cain Velasquez, UFC 121 is scheduled for Oct. 23 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Ortiz coached opposite Ken Shamrock in the third season of "The Ultimate Fighter," and Hamill was one of four light heavyweights on "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy's" team. Hamill defeated Mike Nickels in the opening round of the tourney but was then forced out of the competition due to injury.
Hamill enters the fight on an official four-fight win streak, though his December 2009 disqualification victory over Jon Jones is widely considered a defeat.
A former collegiate wrestling champion, Hamill has shown an impressive striking game in recent outings with a stunning head-kick knockout of Mark Munoz at UFC 96 and a "Fight of the Night" slugfest victory over Keith Jardine at June's The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale.
Meanwhile, Ortiz enters the contest in desperate need of a win.
Despite a valiant effort against Forrest Griffin at UFC 106 this past November, Ortiz is 0-3-1 in his past four bouts. Of course, all four bouts have been against former UFC champions.
Ortiz hasn't tasted victory since October 2006 in a 69-second win over rival Shamrock at The Ultimate Fighter 3 Finale.
The positioning of the Hamill-Ortiz matchup on the UFC 121 card has yet to be announced, though the contest appears a likely a main-card affair.

Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Brendan Schaub meet at UFC 121 in California
The UFC 121 announcements are coming fast and furious, and a heavyweight matchup is the latest addition to the card.
Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel Gonzaga (11-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and "The Ultimate Fighter 10" blogger Brendan Schaub (6-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) have agreed to meet at the Oct. 23 event.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has confirmed that bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly. Sportsnet.ca first reported the contest.
Featuring a heavyweight title clash between champion Brock Lesnar and challenger Cain Velasquez, UFC 121 takes place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., and airs live on pay-per-view.
Gonzaga fights for the first time since a March loss to Junior dos Santos at UFC on Versus 1. The Brazilian heavyweight, who will always be remembered for his head-kick knockout of Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, is just 1-2 in his past three outings, though the losses came to top prospect dos Santos and recent title challenger Shane Carwin.
A threat with his submission game as well as a strong striker, "Napao's" remaining career losses came in an August 2007 bid for the UFC title against Randy Couture and in a January 2008 fight with Fabricio Werdum, who recently defeated Fedor Emelianenko.
Meanwhile, Schaub returns to action for the third time in 2010 and a little more than three months removed from a 67-second destruction of Chris Tuchscherer.
Schaub also defeated Chase Gormley in March for his second-consecutive win following a disappointing knockout loss to Roy Nelson in the finals of "The Ultimate Fighter 10" tournament. An explosive competitor who fights out of Colorado's Grudge Training Center, "The Hybrid" has never fought beyond the first round and has averaged just 58 seconds of cage time in each of his six career wins.

Todd Duffee vs. Jon Madsen latest addition to UFC 121 card
Yet another heavyweight contest has been added to the rapidly filling UFC 121 card.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has confirmed with sources close to the event that Todd Duffee (6-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and Jon Madsen (6-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) have verbally agreed to meet at the event, and bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.
Featuring a heavyweight title clash between champion Brock Lesnar and challenger Cain Velasquez, UFC 121 is scheduled for Oct. 23 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
The main card airs live on pay-per-view.
The chiseled Duffee makes his third octagon appearance, and his first two delivered two of the most memorable knockouts in UFC history.
The 24-year-old burst on the scene with a seven-second knockout of Tim Hague in August 2009. The quick finish is officially the fastest knockout in UFC history, and the expectations for Duffee immediately rose to championship-level proportions. Duffee then returned in May where he dominated Mike Russow for two-and-a-half rounds before being knocked cold in the final frame of one of the greatest comeback performances in UFC history.
Meanwhile, Madsen hopes to keep his undefeated run alive with his third fight of 2010.
The H.I.T. Squad-trained fighter debuted for the UFC as a competitor on "The Ultimate Fighter 10" where he earned a unanimous-decision win over Abe Wagner before losing to eventual finalist Brendan Schaub in the exhibition bout. Madsen returned for his official UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale where he earned a split-decision win over Justin Wren.
Madsen has since used his wrestling-based attack to earn decision wins over Mostapha Al-Turk and Karlos Vemola.
