Brock Lesnar Back In Action in October


carwin lesnar 610x404 300x198 Brock Lesnar Back In Action in OctoberUFC 121 will feature the return of heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar and is set to take place on  October 23 from Anaheim, California.

The headline event features the expected bout between Lesnar and challenger Cain Velasquez.

The main card will also feature big names.

Former Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields will make his UFC debut – at welterweight – against Martin Kampmann.

In the other fights at UFC 121, Diego Sanchez is set to square off with Paulo Thiago, former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz  will take on Matt Hamill, and Brendan Schaub tries to get back on the heavyweight contender list against former contender Gabriel Gonzaga.

“I’m looking forward to getting right back in the Octagon,” Lesnar said. “After the long layoff, my last fight was just an appetizer, I’m still hungry.

I’m in great condition and the timing couldn’t be better. Cain Velasquez is undefeated and he’s the legitimate No. 1 contender, but he’s not the guy that is going to take my UFC heavyweight title.  It’s not his time; it’s my time.  I’m coming to California to defend my crown, and on Oct. 23, I’ll be walking out of the Octagon with my hand raised and the belt around my waist. Cain will be leaving with his first loss. It’s as simple as that.”

Velasquez will have one advantage against Lesnar.

“I feel honored to be fighting for the heavyweight title against Brock,” Velasquez said. “He is a great fighter with a lot of size and is super athletic. This will be a great fight with a lot of action and it means a lot to me to be fighting for the title in L.A., close to my hometown.  I will have a lot of people behind me cheering me on.”Similar Posts:
