Shane Carwin Brock Lesnar UFC 116 clash of the titans

By CagePotato contributor Dallas Winston

For a match-up of such epic proportions, both literally and figuratively, Lesnar vs. Carwin does not offer a ton of evidence to analyze.

In the grand scheme of the MMA heavyweight scene, both Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin are relative newcomers, as their total career fights combined equates to a number one-half of former god Fedor Emelianenko’s times at bat. In only five fights, Lesnar has shown marked improvement and new aspects of an evolving game in each outing, and even though Carwin specified that his focus is becoming a well-rounded fighter, his right hand alone has left a trail of twelve motionless cadavers in its wake.

My team of MMA scientists submitted the official report from their pre-fight ceremonial ritual — in which bits of evidence are fed into the “MMA Math Machine” to extrapolate key factors that assist in fight predictions — and the findings for both read: Big. Strong. Wrestle good. Punch hard.

As much I’d like to over-glorify things, that’s really what this fight boils down to.

Shane Carwin is an undefeated fighter about to have by far the biggest fight in his mixed martial arts career on Saturday night, when he challenges Brock Lesnar for the heavyweight title at UFC 116.

But if things had gone just a little bit differently, the 35-year-old Carwin could be winding down a long NFL career right now, not reaching the pinnacle of his MMA career. Carwin was a Division 2 All-American linebacker at Western State College, and in an appearance on SportsCenter Wednesday, he talked about what might have been in football.
