Kevin Iole said in his Yahoo! Mailbag column that it was a “must” for the UFC to “use” former heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar on their network TV debut with Fox on November 12. Iole believes the UFC has to be “big out of the box” for the network and that with so many fighters already committed to other events, Lesnar is the only man for the job.
Before last weekend’s UFC 134, rumors were flying that the UFC wanted to book Anderson Silva against Strikeforce light heavyweight champ Dan Henderson. But if Dave Meltzer’s early estimates of the UFC 134 pay-per-view buy numbers are correct they’ll want to do something different.
Dana White has already dismissed both possibilities. But there’s nothing less likely to stop rumors of a possible big fight than the denials of a fight promoter, so let’s speculate a bit.
Does the UFC absolutely need Brock Lesnar for a “big” show on Fox on November 12?
