Carwins hands are massive, but i think brocks are bigger isnt his gloves xxxl or something silly like that?
No, Carwin's are bigger. I don't think anyone else in MMA has hands as big as his, they're even bigger than Lesnar's. Quite scary really.
Also took Shogun to a hard fought decision in what is widely regarded to be one of the best MMA fights of all time.
Shogun-Little Nog 2 anyone?
Completely forgot about that. It may well happen, but not yet, there are too many people higher up the pecking order at the moment, although a stellar PPV showing at the weekend wouldn't do him any harm.
I thought Carwin looked very iffy against Gabriel Gonzaga. He was fortunate to land the KO right because up until that point he was being dominated and had already had wobbly legs from some nice punches.
Gonzaga has really strong stand-up, both with his hands and his feet. Yes he was dominated by Dos Santos, but I'm not surprised he was able to exchange successfully for a period of time against Carwin. It was a good test for Carwin, he came out of it and was a better fighter because of it.
As for Brock not wanting to stand, I'm not sure, he guy has an ego and will want to prove some people wrong. On top of that Carwin is a top class wrestler, he was NCAA Division II National Champion (and runner up prior to that), and although Lesnar was more successful (two time All-American), it shows that Carwin really is no joke at the ground game either, it's just that he's an absolute monster when standing.
Wrestlers aren't clever off their backs, it's not natural for them, and it will be a massive swing in the contest between Carwin and Lesnar, whoever gets on top is more than capable of ending it in one-round (although Lesnar didn't against Mir.)
If Gonzaga could take a punch I think he could be a top 5 fighter, unforunately much like Andre Arlovski he has a glass jaw.
Can't wait for Carwin vs Lesnar, I think Lesnar will win as long as he isn't foolish enough to stand with Carwin for to long as the inevitable big right hand will land, and Carwin can put away anyone with it. Lesnar is sinificantly bigger and also has the better wrestling pedigree, but MMA wrestling is different to Olympic style wrestling, see GSP vs Kos.
There is very little in it between Carwin and Lesnar. Lesnar is slightly taller (an inch or two) and they are both 265 pounders.
. I think Lesnar will underestimate him.
