UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar (5-1) will face undefeated Cain Velasquez (8-0) on October 23 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA at UFC 121. Expect the official announcement soon from UFC.
its not all about size is techniqe. 220 pound randy couture lifted up lesnar and 250 rothhwell was tossed like a raggdoll by cain so i think cain can hold his own.
Cain’s only chance is to keep it standing. If he hurts Brock and gets him down he needs to make sure Brock is not blocking his shots and recovering. At that point he needs to back off and have the ref stand him up.
Although I would like Cain to win, I’m not sure he could stuff brocks take downs. Sure he is a division 1 wrestler like brock but I feel he may be a bit undersized in comparison. If Cain can keep this standing it will be an exciting fight.

That’s true. I would like to think that Cains cardio is pretty good. I doubt he will gas like Carwin did. He does need to keep it standing.
