MMA Junkie has the story:

Heavyweight Brock Lesnar (2-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC), fresh off his first professional victory in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, will return to action in November, according to a report from the Pioneer Press.

However, the brief mentioned neither a date nor a location for the fight, and the UFC has made no formal announcement.

As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported on Wednesday, though, the UFC is working with the Oregon State Athletic Commission and the Rose Garden Arena to bring a November event to Portland.

Cheick Kongo is the rumored opponent for the former pro-wrestling superstar.

They’ve been desparately searching for a big main event. Portland is a pretty big wrestling town, it makes sense. I’m still wondering why they don’t just move Nogueira/Mir to this card.

Yeah, Piper is a god in Portland.

There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

I think they want that fight at the end of TUF screening, right?

Interesting, Dana’s email address that he uses to communicate with fighters is not blacked-out on the post-it. What do you want to bet he had to change it after that.
