Brock Lesnar Gets Date For UFC Title Fight With Cain Velasquez

As UFC President Dana White confirmed, Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez will not be doing battle in September. Fans will not have to wait much longer for Lesnar’s next UFC Heavyweight Championship bout, however, as the fight has been confirmed for a UFC pay-per-view in October.

Dana White told MMAFighting that the dominant heavyweights will square off in the main event of UFC 121, tentatively slated for Anaheim’s Honda Center on October 23.

The card has not yet been formally announced, but rumors say it will feature Paul Taylor vs. Sam Stout on the undercard. Some sources have said Quinton “Rampage” Jackson might be fighting on the card as well.
