As expected the winner of Saturday’s UFC 116 headliner between heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and interim title-holder Shane Carwin next will fight undefeated contender Cain Velasquez.
UFC president Dana White previously hinted at the plans, and he today confirmed them with MMAjunkie.com.
“Cain fights the winner of this fight, probably as soon as possible,” White told MMAjunkie.com. “Cain’s been waiting a long time.”
