The announcement was made Monday and I somehow missed it? Darn. If you are going to be in Las Vegas on Nov. 21 then plan to get a ticket to UFC 106 being held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is defending his title against an undefeated Shane Carwin and by all accounts it's going to be awesome.

"Brock Lesnar has been tearing through everyone over the last year," UFC President Dana White told the Las Vegas Sun. "But in Shane Carwin, he's not only fighting someone as big as he is, he's fighting someone who has ended all of his fights in less than three minutes. This is literally the biggest heavyweight title fight ever and may also be the most explosive."

Carwin is 6-foot-3 and weighs 262 pounds. Lesnar is also 6-foot-3 and weighs 265 pounds.

"I was extremely excited when I got the news that I was fighting Brock," said Carwin. "I couldn't even sleep that night."

And what does Lesnar think of Carwin?

"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," Lesnar said.

Tito Ortiz is also making his return to the UFC that same night in a fight with UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman.

Tickets for UFC 106 go on sale Saturday, Sept. 19 at noon MDT.
