With the recent announcement of former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar signing to take on former Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem on Dec. 30, fans have been excited to discuss the potential outcomes of the HW division for the rest of 2011.
It was announced a week ago that current UFC HW Champion Cain Velasquez would put his title on the line against No.1 contender Junior dos Santos on the first UFC show on Fox. That fight takes place on Nov. 12.
With the Velasquez-dos Santos fight being broadcast on free TV and Lesnar-Overeem being on UFC PPV, we won’t get the chance to see who actually draws more in terms of PPV buys.
Still, this is one of the more intriguing matchups of the year and just might be more intriguing than the heavyweight title fight.
Here is why.
