If he gets part of the pay per view buys for being the main event, then I can't see him honestly being upset. A shitload of people want to watch BJ get his belt back.

Do you know how much it is going to take out of Carwin for him to get back up to his feet after Brock takes him down? Big guys will always gas, but with Brock being the more athletic big man, I see Carwin gassing after the 1st round.

Just read an article on MMAFighting.com on my iPhone (cool ap by the way) that Lesnar has been training with Peter Welsch the last 6 months in a southpaw stance almost exclusively. Looking to get a little quicker pounce on those takedowns I guess. The article also said that he is definitely at 265 but still looks massive as before.

yeah, also probably just admitting that his power punches are not much more damaging than his freakish spring loaded Inspector Gadget arm heavy jabs.... so why sacrifice a fraction of a second when going for a single or double for not much more power in the standup.

Carwin could take Brock down as well. that works both ways

I certainly appreciate that, but Carwin was really gassed after Gonzaga took him down and his takedowns have looked somewhat weak in his past fights, whereas Lesnar makes it look so frickin easy. I can see either one of these guys getting the KO or TKO within the first 2 rounds, but I think Brock takes it. Either way, I haven't been this excited just to watch a fricking fight in a while. Watch The Countdown


PS, If Carwin can land some body punches on Brock's surgically repaired stomach, we might see a KO from body shot.

He's not that much taller. He's probably a 1 1/2 inches taller. I think most people have said he's comparable size not the same size.

I want to see the beat down he will receive. I think this beat down will be worse than the Forest beat down.

Anderson Silva might get cut from the UFC if they matched him up with Jake Shields. Jake's only shot is on the ground and it would def. turn into one of these awful fights Anderson has had against ground fighters.

It really pisses me off that they put Chael Sonnen in their to face him but oh well. I just hope Sonnen has now talked enough shite to sign his own death warrant.

It's not worth it to me..... I guess if he asks me to release him, I'd release him. That's not what I want. But he'll never fight in the UFC again."
