All that being said, I think Carwin beats CV for the title. Carwin unlike Brock can stand there and throw with CV and WOW carwin hits HARD!
ps- anyone else noticed how "fixed" the ufc can be at times? And I'm not speaking about the Brock fight.
This will be interesting to see bro.
Lesnar has a fundamental flaw that he has yet to fix. And that is that he instantly turns his back and runs when punches come his way. He drops his head in anticipation of being counter punched every time he throws a punch, he flinches every time a punch may come his way.
He's been killing it in his training for long enough now, that he should have some modicum of striking ability outside of those goofy hammer fists that comprise the overwhelming majority of his striking ability.
It seems as though his camp has hit the bottom, and begun digging on his standard, take down + GnP. Unfortunately, this is something that, despite BL's size, can easily be accounted for. Two fights in a row, show, without a shadow of a doubt that if you can just get a few strikes in, BL crumbles. I haven't seen someone come apart so completely as BL did in the last two fights.
BL only got lucky that Carwin hit his Vo2 max, and the bell rung to save him; or he would have lost his belt in the last fight. A lesson that CV obviously was able to accept full well.
In fact, I'd go so far to say, if BL and Carwin fought again; Carwin wins. He OWNED BL. People fail to realize, big guys, throw with more torque and gas faster, especially when trying to control a guy BL's size; which Carwin did. I had to laugh when BL got up and got cocky after his fight with Carwin. He ran like a bitch, got saved by the bell, and was able to lay, pray, and capitalize on the guy who would have won; had the bell not gotten in the way.
