Talk about all things MMA. What's on your mind?

Shane Carwin vs Brock Lesnar - Who ya got?

I think Carwin has a very good shot at taking Lesnar down. Carwin is a division II wrestling champ, is just as heavy as Lesnar, has bigger hands than Lesnar, and I think he has way more technical skill in both boxing and has adequete grappling. With the nearly equal wrestling background and and equal size, Lesnar isn't going to have a walk in the park taking Carwin down. Lesnar has never fought anyone his size and with just as good wrestling as him. It's going to be a stand up war.

Carwin is 11-0, and in 11 bouts, has never been past 2:11 of the first round. In the UFC he's 3-0, and has never been past 1:31 of the first round.
Three wins by KO punch, 3 wins by TKO punches, 5 by submission (armbar, guillotine, 2xRear Naked, strikes).

Carwin by KO/TKO in the first round.
