Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) today announced its “next big thing” in terms of blockbuster pay-per-view (PPV) shows for the promotion.

UFC 106: “Lesnar vs. Carwin,” which we knew was in the works for several weeks, is set to go down at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Nov. 21. As we already passed along, UFC 106 tickets will go on sale to the general public on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 12 p.m. PT.

It will feature a main event heavyweight title bout between two absolute monsters as champion Brock Lesnar will look to defend his gold for the second time against his newest challenger, Shane Carwin. In addition, “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Tito Ortiz is also set to make his return to the Octagon against UFC Hall of Famer, Mark Coleman, after spending nearly a year and a half on the sidelines.

Here’s what Lesnar had to say about his undefeated opponent in a recent press release:

“I’m excited to get back in the Octagon on November 21st to defend my title. I’m looking forward to fighting Shane Carwin. He’s undefeated and I’m the man who is going to put an end to that.”

And Carwin:

“I was extremely excited when I got the news that I was fighting Brock. I couldn’t even sleep that night. This fight is going to be different for both of us. We’re not used to facing someone who equals us in size. I can see this fight taking place everywhere. We both have wrestling backgrounds, but hopefully we’ll get into some exchanges on the feet too.”

There are several other intriguing bouts currently in the works for UFC 106, including the promotional debut of Antonio Rogerio Nogueira against 205-pound heel, Luiz Cane, as well as several welterweight showdowns that could have major implications on the very crowded division

Fuck yeah
