UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has barely had a chance to catch his breath after defeating a game number one contender in Shane Carwin at UFC 116 and already the UFC is indicating they would like the champ to fight in UFC 119 which is planned for Indianapolis’ Conseco Fieldhouse on Sept. 25. Lesnar would face undefeated new number one contender Cain Velasquez with less than a three month turn around.

The Dayton Daily News is reporting that UFC officials told both Lesnar and Carwin prior to their fight that the winner would likely face Cain Velasquez at UFC 119, baring any injuries. While Lesnar’s face was bashed up good, there doesn’t seem to be any serious damage but he has expressed an interest in taking time off to be with family.

Lesnar vs. Velasquez could be an even bigger draw than Lesnar vs. Carwin was simply because of the amount of mixed martial arts insiders who believe that Velasquez will one day be champion of the UFC heavyweight division. In any case the fight is a dream for the UFC to market, as seems to be the case whenever former Lesnar, a former professional wrestler, is involved.
