When Brock Lesnar steps into the cage on Saturday night for his UFC 121 title defense against Cain Velasquez, he has the chance to do something historic.
The UFC heavyweight championship is the belt with the longest lineage, first awarded in February 1997. But since then, no one has managed to defend it successfully more than twice. If Lesnar beats Velasquez, he would become the first to defend the crown three times.
According to Lesnar, bank on it.
