Dana White, the president of UFC, had promised the winner a title shot at the UFC Heavyweight Title after Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin's fight. Before the game, the majority of people and media sources predicted that Nogueira will win due to a lack of striking power for Velasquez.

And Velasquez finally defeated Brock Lesnar for the UFC Heavyweight Championship on October 23, 2010 at UFC 121. He defeated Lesnar by TKO and takes the UFC title for the first time.
