Cain Velasquez will face Brock Lesnar, this time in the WWE ring. Both colossi held a highly publicized battle in the UFC octagon, which left Cain as the new heavyweight champion of the company after quickly defeating 'The Beast Incarnate'. For this new confrontation, UFC recalled on their social media the first time these two opponents faced each other.

It happened on October 23, 2010. Brock Lesnar dominated the UFC heavyweight division, defeating renowned rivals like Randy Couture and the submission specialist Frank Mir.
