UFC 121 is tentatively scheduled to have a headlining fight between heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar and contender Cain Velasquez but an excellent supporting cast has been forming over the past couple weeks.

News comes today by way of MMAFighting.com that former light heavyweight champ Tito Ortiz will face Matt Hamill in a main card fight while Sportsnet.ca says rising heavyweight star Brendan Schaub is now set to battle Gabriel Gonzaga.
