I will admit to having very limited knowledge of Mixed Martial Arts (preferring the fixed martial arts of sports entertainment) but what I do know is that Lesnar has been defeated by Velasquez in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. In fact, when Cain Velasquez defeated Lesnar, he won the title from him. And therefore, there is a readymade storyline waiting for these two men that can be settled in the ring.

We know that a lot of rivalries will never play out in the octagon. For example, we assumed that Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar would square off for a UFC fight, but that doesn't seem likely anymore. Maybe a lot of these fights can actually take place inside the squared circle.

I'm sure that Paul Heyman will be recapping UFC history in his promos, in the coming weeks speaking about Brock Lesnar's loss.
