November 6th live from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California

 

Main Event - UFC Heavyweight Championship

Brock Lesnar (5-1, 4-1 UFC) vs Cain Velasquez (8-0, 6-0 UFC)

 

The champ Brock Lesnar takes on undefeated Cain Velasquez, who is looking to become the first Mexican American heavyweight champion in any contact sport, who will be the winner? My money's on the fans.

 

Co-Main Event - Light Heavyweight Division

Lyoto Machida (16-1, 8-1 UFC) vs Quinton Jackson (30-8, 5-2 UFC)

 

Two top light heavyweights, coming off recent big time losses, looking to pave the way for another shot at the title.

 

Lightweight Division

Gray Maynard (10-0, 8-0 UFC) vs Sean Sherk (32-4-1, 7-4 UFC)

 

Undefeated Maynard takes on veteran Sean Sherk, with a win almost guaranteeing him a title shot.

 

Middleweight Division

Yushin Okami (25-5, 9-2 UFC) vs Alessio Sakara (15-7, 6-4 UFC)

 

Nearly 5 years since Yushin Okami defeated Anderson Silva, who has since gone on to get a 13 fight winning streak, this Japanese fighter looks to get in contention for a rematch, and a shot at the title.

 

Heavyweight Division

Junior Dos Santos (12-1, 6-0 UFC) vs Alistair Overeem (33-11, 0-0 UFC)

 

It was confirmed at the UFC 120 post-match press conference, Alistair Overeem has signed with the UFC, and is set to take on JDS, who so far is undefeated in the UFC, the winner probably facing a title shot, or a match with "Minotauro" Nogueira to determine a number one contender.
