It's the 1st time I think Carwin can beat Lesnar

Until now i've believed Lesnar is unbeatable in the UFC but after Carwin's performance today... wow. Even Lesnar looked very impressed. I still think Lesnar will win but it's a 60-40 shot in my opinion. Your thoughts?

I still see Lesnar as a heavy favorite. Carwin's ability to pin Mir against the cage payed off big tonight...i don't expect to see that vs. Brock.

Whoa now! I am not gonna say that yet. Brock looked alot bigger, but he walked up looking like Frankenstein. I want to wait and see Lesnar work out before I can say he would beat anyone? If Lesnar fights like he did against Mir last time I think he does to Carwin, what GSP did to Hardy. SURRRIOUS!

Obviously when you hit that hard you can beat anyone on a given night. I still think Brock is a rather large favorite though

Brock won't keep it standing nor will he get pinned against the fence.

Carwin's stand up is better than Brock's and both fighters' wrestling is too close to call, so I'm thinking Carwin has an good chance to win that fight...although I don't want to be a prisoner of the moment, I would not be surprised at all to see Carwin win that fight.

I've thought Carwin could beat Lesnar since the first time I saw him fight.

It all depends if he can stop the takedowns at all. I think Couture did a great job against Brock in that department, so Carwin should have a good chance at winning.

Brock is a better wrestler in my opinion.

I actually give Carwin a less realistic chance against Brock now that I've seen this fight. His wrestling and size is not as close of a match as we were lead to believe.

That said, he still has a good chance to win a fight with Brock Lesnar since a lot of these high level HW tilts will be decided by single mistakes and single punches going forward with the cast of contenders the UFC has built.

I think we have too much still to learn about Brock to say something like that.

The only guy with a wrestling background he's fought was 45 years old and weighed 50lbs. less, and he managed to hold his own in the wrestling in that fight.

I think most people with a brain realized Carwin's size was exaggerated, but he'll still be closer to Brock's size than anyone Brock's fought before.

Carwin was unable to take Mir down, but made Brock look like GSP.

Brock's wrestling advantage is size and strength based, and it's obvious he will still have a good advantage there. Brock is younger, closer to his wrestling days, bigger and stronger, in addition to having the better pedigree.

Brock is much bigger, or at least it looked that way tonight. I don't give Carwin much of a chance really. I'm not sure why Frank was content with getting pushed against the cage. He wasn't even trying to improve his position.

I am sorry to disagree, though I think he has better than a punchers chance. Brock is oing to take him to the ground and beat the shit out of him. Might I add, I am so glad I haven't got to watch Frank get his ass beat again.

Yeahdidn't we already know Brock was huge, still Carwin poses a bigger threat than Mir did, Carwin is a strong ass dude, I'm very pumped for his fight.

Carwin has a great chance to beat Lesnar and I have thought that for a while. It will easily be the most dangerous opponent Lesnar has ever faced in his career.

Im not sure Carwin is more dangerous to Brock than Mir was at the time. Anyways Brock looked alot bigger than Carwin and to be honest we keep hearing about how good Carwins wrestling is but I for 1 have really never seen him use it. He hasnt had to but I still havent seen him use it and against Brock he will definitely need to use it.
