3. Cain Velasquez vs Randy Couture - Cain gets lucky outworks the veteran to a UD
4. Shane Carwin vs Alistair Overeem - Overeem gets hit so hard he sees stars, 1st rd.

1. Brock Lesnar vs Big Nog
2. Fedor Emelianenko vs Roy Nelson
3. Cain Velasquez vs Randy Couture
4. Shane Carwin vs Alistair Overeem

Lesnar
Fedor
Cain
Da Reem

I can't believe Overeem is killing Carwin in the voting. I don't think Reem has the chin of Brock and he wouldn't last the 1st round.

1. [b]Brock Lesnar
2. Fedor Emelianenko
3. Cain Velasquez
4. Alistair Overeem

I can't believe so many people are picking Reem either! As hard as Carwin hits and everybody knows he changed his diet to help him deal with the lactic acidosis and people still think Reem survives? He gets fucking killed and Scott Coker would rejoice, because he would be able to get a real champion.

Shane Carwin isn't going to punch a K1 striker in the face dude.

What? You mean Brock #2 no smash face? Me no understand.

You know I failed to consider that. I mean just a slight level below a Jedi Knight is a K-1 fighter. So absolutely, there is no way anyone, could ever hit a K-1 competitor. I mean you can't even hit them using a bullet and a gun! So quick is a K-1 fighter.

K-1 Level strikers would destroy Carwin and his flat footed style. Guys like Mike Bernardo would have literally done so much damage to Carwin that we would need to identify him by way of dental record afterward.

No Ludo, hulk wrestling smash power and two years of MMA training > skill.

Well let's hope Fedor doesn't have to fight Reem then, because he is no K-1 striker either.

Words fail to describe how horrible of a poster Andrew is.

Wow! He almost hit that guy.

The difference here, Andrew, is that Fedor uses his grappling skills much more willingly than Carwin does. Not to mention he has faced two well known K-1 strikers before in Semmy Schilt and Mirko Filipovic. Would he bother striking with Overeem? Probably not immediately. He would probably look to clinch up, maybe get a trip or throw to the ground and tire him down for a round or so before then trying to stand up with him.

Overeem's style and head movement makes him a target for a casting punch. The same punch Mir used on Kongo actually. I don't think Carwin has the speed to land on Overeem but Fedor does.

Well maybe one day we will know, but Carwin is not getting any younger and he is probably under a Federal probe and one by the various Athletic commissions now too. So we may not see him to soon if ever again. I do however think he could do it and Fedor of today isn't nearly as good as the one that was around 5 years ago.

Fedor's striking is better today than it was five years ago. He just knocked out three straight strikers.

I doubt he's getting into too much trouble, hes passed all the tests in the UFC and they can't do much for what he's done in the past

Nothing will happen to Carwin unless he goes to congress and lies out of his ass about whatever he misremembered.
