*raises hand*
OOOH OOOH PICK ME PICK ME! I KNOW I KNOW!!
*ts calls on natman*
.....yes he can
edit: oh did you want me to be specific?
On the feet: Lesnar has as much power as Carwin. He hasn't fought enough lower tier fighters to show it but it's pretty obvious when you look at the Herring fight and the fact he's dropped everyone he hit with a power shot.
Also neither is very technical so they're about even but Lesnar has shown more diversity, standing elbows, knees, ect
As for Lesnar's chin. He hasn't been rocked by Gonzaga in order to prove it but he shook off a jumping knee from Mir. I doubt he'll drop like a fly as so many of the haters are hoping. Lesnar is not Gonzaga
Wrestling: Lesnar's credentials are better and I think he's got the wrestling. So how is Carwin off his back?
Ground: neither have shown very much on the ground but I seriously doubt Carwin would even bother trying to sub Lesnar.
Final verdict: They'll strike a little bit, both have a good chance of rocking the other, but then it comes down to Lesnar taking him down and pounding him out

79% pick percentage is going up into the 80's this weekend. I feel it. Day'n'half before picks are sent out

Way out of his league.
He can , in theory, or he wouldn't be a worthy opponent.
But he won't.

Absolutely Brock can beat Carwin. Brock is freakishly fast and powerful for such a big man! I see Carwin on his back getting fed those lunchboxes if they ever fight.

Yes. But Brock's chin will be tested... if Carwin gets a chance.

Brock is better than Carwin at everything. Carwin has power so he has a slight chance to KO him, but Brock will over power him and finish the fight via TKO.

Of course he can -- anything can happen in MMA. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing the winner of Mir/Carwin go up against Lesnar.

Well, they are both great wrestlers and both hit really hard, but one of them at least uses SOME movement while the other tends to block punches with his face. I think I'll go with Brock on this one.
