UFC 131 Results: Shane Carwin’s Face Left a Mess After Loss to Junior Dos Santos
Bleacher report’s Jason Schielke:
Junior dos Santos versus Shane Carwin was projected as a huge fight at heavyweight and possibly the biggest fight in the division for the year.
The fight didn’t really heat up like predicted until a minute left when JDS rocked Carwin and almost TKO’d Carwin. Carwin left with a bloody mess of a face.
The second saw JDS picking apart Carwin until around two minutes to go when Carwin rocked JDS and had him backpeddling away. Then JDS was able to recover and land a nice headkick late in the third.
Surprisingly this went to a third round and this saw Carwin press JDS more, but still was unable to get anything done. JDS was able to take what was thrown and throw the jab that he had been using the entire fight. The fight was then stopped around a minute left to check out Carwin’s vision which was bloodied, but Carwin chose to continue. Then surprisingly, JDS took Carwin down twice towards the end of the fight to finish out the round.
