Who's watching UFC tonight

what is "not technical." I hear that a lot, but does it really matter after you smash your opponent?

He will run into someone that he WONT be able to steamroll. Like Carwin.

Who, by the way, is the only guy in the UFC with bigger gloves than Lesnar.

bigger gloves means nothing when you're knocked out.

Now I am not saying Brock will beat Carwin. I think they are a very even match. People saying Carwin's striking is better make me chuckle though. He throws the same powerful broad punches Brock does.

Cain will not be able to touch either Brock or Carwin EVER IMO. He just beat up Rothwell who has NO TAKEDOWN DEFENSE AT ALL. Brock or Shane would put Cain on his back, pin him and pound his ass out

true..He is a Division 2 national Champ whereas Brock is a Division 1 nat champ.. not a HUGE difference in wrestling experience.. i think carwin wouldve faired well at D1 level, just chose a more convenient college.. Carwin has more in ring experience than Brock, more KO wins, better boxing experience IMO, and i feel he's more intelligent (he is and Engineer by trade).. and he has a good chin.. Gonzaga legitimately rocked Carwin and he composed himself and knocked him flat with a average straight jab.. i think brock will be suprised

I think you'd be surprised.

Carwin knocked Gonzaga out with a straight left, not a haymaker.

Cain was a TWO time all american wrestler for Arizona State...

I'd venture to say he knows a little something about take-down defense.

Rothwell never was an impressive fighter IMO, but an experienced and well trained test for anyone.. i thnk anyone would have trouble with Cain.. im not sayin he will win, but he will not be walked over easily.. and it will be a task to put him on his back.. he has great cardio.. he wasnt even breathing hard after picking Rothwell's heavy *** up and slamming/grappling/punching him for the better part of 2 rounds.. def gained more respect

cain may have some takedown defense, but giving up 40+ lbs to brock or shane on top of their wrestling leads me to believe either could put him on his back

I wish they hadn't canceled the Cain/Shane fight...

but hey, I get to see Shane/Brock in 106.

 

[abrhino 10+ year member]

40lbs isnt everything.. Cain and Brock's strengths are DEF wrestling.. i could see a submission from the bottom, or one of them gassing.. I think Carwins boxing >Cain/Brock but everyone has a punchers chance...

he could "Todd Duffee" any of them lool

 

[thegreatestpenn 5,000+ posts]

i'll def be watching every UFC event at least up to 108. The one i care for the least is free on spike (105).

i like these...

would also REALLY like to see rua vs anderson silva..

i didn't think carwin was that impressive against gonzaga.. maybe its just me but i see brock dominating him.

Nope. Fight is cancelled. Brock is ill.

Not canceled, just pushed back to UFC108.

All the moar reason to change it up and go ahead with Cain V. Shane prior.

 

[abrhino 10+ year member]

shane would be a complete idiot to fight anyone much-less Cain two months before his title shot.. feed Cain a new opponent on 108 and hype the shit outta Cain vs Champ
