I've missed 2 events since UFC 60. I watch all the WEC's, Dream's, Strikeforce that come on. About the only real thing Im not up to date on is Bellator. One of my old MMA coaches, Raphael Assuncao fights in the WEC and the other coach, his brother Junior used to fight in the UFC and is trying to work his way back there now. MMA is definitely a household theme at the Burdy household.yes im definitely getting that one. I usually buy every other fight, but im making a point to see this one.
This fight is going to be a textbook example of one person dominating one area of the fight game 100%. If Lesnar takes it down, he'll turn into the Vanilla Gorilla and pound him for 5 rounds, but if he wants to try and show he can throw hands then Carwin is going to win on punching power alone. Unfortunately for Lesnar, he claims he doesn't have to cut weight for the fight anymore, meaning he may feel more natural during the fight, but he won't have the ability to pack on 30+ pounds for the bout. Carwin, being five-foot-nothing, will be reaping the benefits of this new Lesnar and be able to pack on the pounds to his normal weight of 280+. Lesnar also trained with Couture for a while at the end of his camp, so we'll probably see a lot of Brock holding Shane against the cage and controlling the pace.
IIRC, Shane maxed out at 265 for this first time against Mir, he was hovering at 55-59. I can usually pick a winner but this fight is gonna be a hard one to call. Lesnar training with Couture is a mixed bag. Im sure he'll be better in the clinch and dirty boxing, but is that really where he wants this fight?
