Coming off a 90 second loss in his first UFC fight, matchmakers at the UFC are already considering who Brock Lesnar (1-1-0) will face for his next match in the octagon. So far, everything seems to be pointing towards octagon veteran Justin "The Insane One" McCully (8-3-2).
McCully, a team mate of former UFC champion Tito Ortiz (15-5-1), has had only one fight in the UFC; a win over Antoni Hardonk (6-4-0) by unanimous decision in April 2007.
Speaking on "Inside MMA" on HDNet, McCully confirmed the match was in the works. "We’ve been talking about fighting this big, huge guy who just crossed over from a wrestling promotion," he said. "That’s in talks right now. I hope it comes through. I really like that fight."
Lesnar lost to Frank Mir (11-3-0) at UFC 81: Breaking Point, Feb. 2 in Las Vegas, NV. Not including unreleased bonuses, he earned $250,000 for the fight, which brought in over 650,000 pay-per-view orders, making it the third most selling UFC in event history.
McCully was expected to fight Cheick Kongo (11-3-1) in March, but did not take the fight due to an injury.
