According to Dana White during the UFC 116 post-fight press conference:
“I need to talk to Brock about it. I’m a big believer in, ‘Let’s get these guys right back in there as soon as we can” said Dana White.
White also revealed that after Velasquez, the next title contender will be the winner of the UFC 117 meeting between Junior Dos Santos and Roy Nelson. “You’re going to see Cain and Brock fight, then coming up, Dos Santos is going to fight ‘Big Country,’ and the winner of that fight will get the next shot.”
