The momentum dispersion of the peak structure of the single-particle spectral weight [ital A](p,[omega]) of the two-dimensional Hubbard model is discussed. Using results obtained from Monte Carlo simulations on lattices up to 12[times]12 in size, we determine the low-lying quasiparticle dispersion relation. This dispersion relation is anomalously flat near the ([pi],0) and (0,[pi]) points of the Brillouin zone, similar to the results of recent angular resolved photoemission measurements of the hole-doped cuprates. We argue that the generic nature of the quasiparticle dispersion relation observed in these materials arises from the strong Coulomb interaction and reflects the hole-spin correlations rather than the one-electron interactions which customarily determine the band structure.
