Brock Lesnar is now slated to face undefeated Cain Velasquez.
And health permitting, that fight is expected to happen at a UFC 119 event planned for Indianapolis’ Conseco Fieldhouse on Sept. 25.
Prior to their UFC 116 fight — which UFC president Dana White expects to generate a million pay-per-view buys — officials told Lesnar and Carwin that the winner would likely meet Velasquez at UFC 119 if injuries aren’t a factor.
Lesnar, a former WWE star and NCAA Division I national wrestling champion, was bloodied and bruised in the bout, but a post-fight examination initially revealed no significant injuries.
UFC 119 marks the UFC’s debut in Indiana, which only recently began official MMA regulation.
