UFC heavyweight Brock Lesnar.

New York - The worst kept secret in MMA is finally official.

The UFC officially announced that UFC 131 will take place on June 11 at Vancouver's Rogers Arena.

The event, which will air live on pay-per-view, will be headlined by Brock Lesnar vs. Junior dos Santos. The heavyweights are coaches on the 13th season of The Ultimate Fighter.

Also officially announced for the card is:

Demian Maia vs. Mark Munoz (middleweight)
Kenny Florian vs. Diego Nunes (featherweight)
Dustin Poirier vs. Rani Yahya (featherweight)
Krysztof Sozynski vs. Anthony Perosh (light heavyweight)
Mac Danzig vs. Donald Cerrone (lightweight)
Michihiro Omigawa vs. Darren Elkins (featherweight)

No word just yet on when tickets will go on sale, but considering the main event and the fact that last year's UFC 115 in Vancouver sold out in just 30 minutes, it's a good bet that tickets will get scooped up pretty quickly.
