Shane Carwin: "At the end... hopefully I'll be toasting the fans with a Bud Light."

Shane Carwin talks about his upcoming title bout against current champion [and probably most hated man in UFC history] Brock Lesnar. Pretty interesting stuff and I can't believe Carwin has multiple degrees and works full-time... then does MMA.

Carwin presents a different challenge to Mir and Couture, but I do think Brock will be a little too much. I reckon Brock has more gas and is better on the ground than Carwin, so if he avoids the KO punch, he'll win via TKO or decision.

 

However, Carwin just needs a good performance to capitalize on his main event shot - if he goes down in glorious fashion, it'll be a starmaker and the rematch a year or so down the line will be huge.

We all know Brock has nice cardio. But Carwin's cardio hasn't been tested. Just because he thinks it won't go the distance doesn't mean he shouldn't prepare for it. Carwin is too large and powerful to hold down. We won't be seeing another UFC 100, guys.

 

Lesnar has amazing wrestling, but Carwin is the only guy to match up with him in terms of size and wrestling skill. Carwin has decent stand-up, but Lesnar has terrible stand-up. But I know their both working really hard.

 

Carwin might take this one home.

The way I figure it, their wrestling is pretty even as they were both college wrestling champions. The stand-up advantage has to go to Carwin. Lesnar has never knocked anyone out with one punch but we have seen Carwin do it multiple times. I think Carwin probably has a slight BJJ advantage as well. For those reasons, I see Carwin winning this fight, probably by knockout.

Randy has already shown that Brock's much praised wrestling technique isn't even that great, He couldn't keep Randy down.

Carwin is almost as big, may be just as strong, has similar wrestling and superior striking.

Plus I like the implied shot at Lesnar's post UFC 100 tantrum by talking up the Bud Light angle, shows he is smarter too, he does have a mechanical engineering degree which is no small feat! did Lesnar even graduate?

I gotta go Carwin by KO

Look forward to this fight for 1 reason.I want to see how long Shane will survive,and judging that i will have an idea if he is gonna threaten 1 day for the belt.I dont think he is a serious threat right now.He is a good fighter with great size.Some guys just cant seem to beat the big man,If this fight gets out of rd.1 i would be surprised.I see Brock try to bum rush em and gnp on the ground.If shane works distance and counters a smart fight,he could catch Brock.Frank Mir got respect foe his ground game,from Brock.Don't see him respecting Shane's ground game and trying to get it there as quick as possible.I am not a Brock fan by no means and would love to see him get his but kicked!!!Just don't see it happening in this fight.I love to see the fights when someone is gettn his **** kicked the whole time and then lands that 1 big blow.Thats Shane's best bet and hope.
