Apparently a move to get another Lesnar fight on pay-per-view as soon as possible&#8211;in addition to helping set the buyrate record, Lesnar&#8217;s presence at UFC 100 significantly boosted overall interest in the product&#8211;in order to create momentum for the winter events.<\/p>\n<p>Because he has been a vocal critic of Brock Lesnar&#8217;s antics at UFC 100, Carwin makes for the most marketable &#8220;hot shot&#8221; opponent.  The match is tentatively penciled in for UFC 106 in November.  Tito Ortiz vs. Mark Coleman is also expected to take place on the card.<\/p>\n<p>Cain Velasquez, who is still slated to fight at UFC 104, will remain on the radar for a title shot with a victory.  The winners of Junior Dos Santos vs. Mirko Cro Cop and Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will also be under consideration for a chance at the belt.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/10_lesnar_vs_mir_009-333x500.jpg\" alt=\"10_lesnar_vs_mir_009\" title=\"10_lesnar_vs_mir_009\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1342\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Brock Lesnar&#039;s Next UFC Opponent (Report)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"After booking Shane Carwin vs. Cain Velasquez, UFC made it clear that, sans the acquisition of Fedor Emelianenko, the winner of that UFC 104 bout would\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/08\/20\/brock-lesnars-next-ufc-opponent-report\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Brock Lesnar&#039;s Next UFC Opponent (Report)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"After booking Shane Carwin vs. Cain Velasquez, UFC made it clear that, sans the acquisition of Fedor Emelianenko, the winner of that UFC 104 bout would\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/08\/20\/brock-lesnars-next-ufc-opponent-report\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-08-20T17:24:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/10_lesnar_vs_mir_009-333x500.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/08\/20\/brock-lesnars-next-ufc-opponent-report\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/08\/20\/brock-lesnars-next-ufc-opponent-report\/\",\"name\":\"Brock Lesnar's Next UFC Opponent (Report)\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2009-08-20T17:24:21+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2009-08-20T17:24:21+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"After booking Shane Carwin vs. Cain Velasquez, UFC made it clear that, sans the acquisition of Fedor Emelianenko, the winner of that UFC 104 bout would\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/08\/20\/brock-lesnars-next-ufc-opponent-report\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
