6. UFC 121: Lesnar vs Velasquez €“ 1,050,000 Buys

Honda Center. Anaheim, California. October 23, 2010Attendance: 14,856 Gate: $2,237,000 As with all his fights in the UFC, Lesnar€™s third title defence against Velasquez was a huge PPV seller. Cain Velasquez may have look vastly oversized and less muscular than Lesnar, but anyone who had watched the heavyweight's run through the UFC knew how much of a challenge he presented to the heavyweight champion. Of the six fights Velasquez had fought in for the promotion, he had won five by KO/TKO; Velasquez used his incredible conditioning and ridiculous tempo for a heavyweight to dominate from the opening bell. Velasquez proved that all the hype is justified; he is still the UFC€™s heavyweight champion to this day (though he would lose it to JDS before recapturing the belt in the rematch). In the one round he fought with Lesnar, the ex-champion came out strong using his size advantage to out-muscle Velasquez. However, Cain eventually rocked Lesnar with strikes literally sending him spinning around the Octagon before eventually forcing the referee to step in.
