Brock Lesnar latest news

White confirms Nogueira vs. Velasquez winner could get first crack at Lesnar

The main event of this weekend's "UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez" card is based on a great storyline of "young buck meets grizzled veteran."

But at today's pre-event press conference in Sydney, Australia, UFC president Dana White confirmed what many MMA observers had already suspected: an immediate title shot might hinge on the bout as well.

Despite an upcoming interim heavyweight title fight between top contenders Shane Carwin and Frank Mir at UFC 111 in March, White acknowledged that the winner of the featured contest between Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cain Velasquez at UFC 110 might be next for returning UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar.......

Brock Lesnar come back

White said Lesnar relied on holistic medicine and ate healthy, and Lesnar said he ultimately regained 30 pounds and went for a Jan. 5 checkup that found his stomach was fine.

"It's been a crazy ride," White said.

"The doctors say there's no risk to my career; I believe the mind is a powerful thing," Lesnar said. "When you have life taken away, laying in a hospital bed, to sit there not having any control of anything ... I've always been in control."

Lesnar then reminded White he is the UFC heavyweight champion, and expressed enthusiasm about fighting again, most likely against the Mir-Carwin winner. Should any problem occur, White said he would have Lesnar make his next title defense against the winner of next month's Cain Velasquez-Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira fight.....
