As Kevin Iole reports, the big news from UFC 110 was that Cain Velasquez solidified his position as a top contender to Brock Lesnar's UFC heavyweight title by knocking out Pride and UFC veteran Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in less than two and a half minutes. Such a convincing victory against such a legendary fighter should guarantee Velasquez a shot at Lesnar's title before the end of the year, though the winner of Shane Carwin vs. Frank Mir at UFC 111 on March 27th is expected to get the first shot at Lesnar.
