Lesnar vs Carwin

[Smooth34]

Interesting matchup.

 

I see Lesnar winning.

[Boom444]

Agree... Carwin has powerful punches but its hard to throw punches when your on  your back, Gabriel Gonzaga easily took Carwin down and Gonzaga is no where near the wrestler that Lesnar is I see this fight ending like Brocks other fights takedown to ground and pound.

is this match up set to take place? i was under the impression that the winner of velasquez vs. carwin would face lesnar?  If that is the case then I say velasquez beats carwin.

 

however, if this match-up of carwin vs. lesnar is taking place, people should note carwin was also a national champion wrestler (division 2) 

 

if velasquez gets a chance against lesnar, I feel velasquez wins.  Velasquez will stuff lesnar's shots and turn the fight into a stand up...velasquez's trainers say he is already good enough to be a successful pro boxer... just my thoughts...

 

somebody let me know exactly what's going on with this situation

Neither Lesnar vs Carwin or Valazquez vs. Carwin are listed as officially on the UFC site yet.  UCF 104 is being organized now for October, and some are saying a match up between Valazquez and Rothwell is in the works.  Some are saying at UFC 106 in November the Lesner and Carwin  is in the works along with the Colman vs. Ortiz match.

Here's Dana pretty much confirming it:

 

 

"Brock is ready to go now and wants to fight," said White. "Carwin makes the most sense. He?s 11-0, and he?s been kicking the [expletive] out of everybody. [Gabriel] Gonzaga destroyed [Mirko] Cro Cop and he [Carwin] totally destroyed Gonzaga. Plus, he hates Brock Lesnar."

 

The article continues....

 

"The flipping off of the fans that just lined your pocket with millions of dollars is just lame," Carwin said in the week after UFC 100. "He may be a champion, but he has a long ways to go before he earns the respect of a champion. The fans are why we do this, Brock. This sport is not about fat paychecks and drama. It is about hard work and sacrifice for a shot to do what you did [that] night. It doesn?t matter how much money you make if you can?t earn your peers? respect and the respect and love of the greatest sporting fans in the world."

 

Carwin also played the pro wrestling card -- "the profession Lesnar garnered celebrity status in between 2002-2004" which seemed to get under Lesnar?s skin when played in prior matches by Heath Herring and Mir.

 

"We have no scripts in this sport, no predetermined earning amount and no predetermined outcomes," Carwin wrote. "It doesn?t matter if you win or lose, it matters how you win or lose."

 

"He hates Brock Lesnar," said White. "It?s going to be two huge guys going at it. He?s got the power to knock anybody out and he?s got great wrestling too. He?s one of the guys that has the size to match up with Brock, too. This is one of those fights that could be wild. Someone?s going to get their head knocked off."
