UFC 121 fighters arrived for the weigh-ins just outside the Honda Center in Anaheim, California earlier this afternoon. All fighters made weight. However, the largest weight difference came between UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and the undefeated Cain Velasquez. Brock weighed in at 264 pounds while Cain weighed in at 244 pounds. That gives Brock at least a 20 pound weight advantage. It's more than likely that Brock will add another 5 to 10 pounds before he even steps into the cage.
This weight difference is one of the reasons why I think Brock will defeat Cain Velasquez. For a complete list of UFC 121 predictions, check out my article "UFC 121 preview and predictions: Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez".
