UFC President Dana White recently spoke to the UK’s Fighters Only Magazine about what’s up next for former UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.
Despite online reports that Brock Lesnar wanted to fight Roy “Big Country” Nelson next, White says that’s not true, Lesnar will not get a rematch at Cain Velasquez and that a rubber match against Frank Mir is most likely.
“[Brock] never asked for Roy Nelson, that’s not true. The last thing I did hear was that he wants to fight Frank Mir again. That fight kind of makes sense so… We will probably see Lesnar fight Mir next, I think that the rubber match makes sense.”
A third fight to settle the score makes sense, but Frank Mir sad in a recent interview that he wants to win one fight before fighting Lesnar again.

White also said that Velasquez’s first title defence will “probably” be Junior Dos Santos, but that fight has not yet been signed.
