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.

I got Fedor.

Well of course, Fedor.

I wanna see more of Gegard Mousasi. He's Fedor's training partner, and is essentially mini Fedor. Gegard could be legendary in the Light Heavyweight division.

Are you high? Brock's gonna destroy Carwin, there's no way Shane will make it past the second round. It will be a little while before you see Lesnar beaten, they need to cancel that damn fight anyways. Throw Big Nog in there and let's get this shit over with.

On Mousasi, god I love that guy. He's not mini-Fedor, no one is. Actually there is a baby Fedor, but he's tested positive for roids which is just hilarious.

Anyone catch Shark Fights this weekend? Dave Herman's a monster, kinda pissed to see Don Frye lose though. Now there's a guy who would make an awesome guest on KATG.

Big Nog has less of a chance than Carwin. It's the size that's making the biggest difference. Fighting a wrestler with 40 pounds on you is a terrible idea. Mir is such an incredible technician, but it was simply overpowered by size and strength.

Lesnar is fighting a mirror image of himself. It's gonna be amazing.

Mir is shit, watch how great he does now. He got lucky against Nog. A year from now he'll be but a memory.

I haven't seen enough of Mir to judge either way. But I'm a fan because on Spike they replay Lesnar vs Mir 1 a lot. Technical prowess can overtake that hulking behemoth.

BJ Penn vs Diego Sanchez - Who ya got?

[better dylan]

fedor was scared of lesnar. thats why he didnt sign. Lesnar will crush this dude.

[Bucho]

Chael Sonnen is maybe the most entertaining person in the entire world of sport right now. He takes the best part of pro wrestling, the trash talk, and then does it better than any pro wrestler ever did, and then climbs into the Octagon to fight for real. The dude's the perfect combination of hilarious and genuinely badass.

You just can't go wrong with that guy when it comes to promoting fights.

[Astigos]

You got a man crush there, bucho? I definitely love Sonnen too, but damn.

You watch the Miesha Tate vs Ronda Rousey fight? It was the best women's fight I've ever seen.
