While for from official, LA Times reporter Lance Pugmire is reporting that Lorenzo Fertitta has confirmed plans to put the UFC’s heavyweight title up for grabs this fall.
Tentatively scheduled for November 19, Fertitta revealed plans to have number one contender Junior Dos Santos face off with champion Cain Velasquez for his first title defense since winning the UFC’s heavyweight crown over Brock Lesnar at UFC 121.
The venue indicated is the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California.
No word on whether or not Velasquez will be rehabilitated or ready to fight by the fall date, but if Lorenzo Fertitta is coming out and saying so, it has to be close to happening.
More on this as it becomes available.

^^ Herman doesn't know what jiu jitsu is. He thinks it means the guard... I don't think he realizes that defending submissions and passing guard are also jj. Whatever, who cares he sucks his spray tan is queer and he would get his shit pushed in by Werdum.Leave a comment:

Herman and Einemo spent just 89 seconds of their fight on the ground, but Herman did have to escape from underneath Einemo once, and did so quickly. Afterward, Herman reiterated his belief about BJJ.
"I honestly really don't think it does [work]," he said. "If you have any knowledge at all of jiu-jitsu, it's just not going to work. If you literally have never heard of anything and have no idea what they're doing, OK, kind of like the first UFC, yeah jiu-jitsu works. It's kind of like trickery, basically. If you have any idea about any of the tricks, it's just not going to work, unless you're a complete idiot and fall for it."
When asked how it could work against, say Fedor Emelianenko during his June 2010 match against Fabricio Werdum, Herman said it was possible Emelianenko had gotten too cocky, but that "if they fought again, it wouldn't happen."
"Maybe I should re-phrase it and just say, jiu-jitsu doesn't work on me," he said.
Herman said that in preparing for a fight, he trains grappling but rarely jiu-jitsu.Leave a comment:
