Lesnar vs. Carwin at UFC 106, UFC 107 Stacked
It was announced a few weeks ago that Shane Carwin will take on Brock Lesnar for the UFC Heavyweight Championship at UFC 106 in November. Now lets look at this from a realistic point of view. Carwin has had more fights then Lesnar but Carwin has only beaten one credible opponent by the name Gabriel Gonzaga who in my opinion was overrated to begin with anyways. Lesnar has had five fights and has beaten Heath Herring, Randy Couture and Frank Mir. He beat three credible opponents and has beat them convincingly. Carwin will present a challange for Lesnar due to his size. He is
6 ft 3 in and, 259.5 lb. In the end, Lesnar will win probably by knockout in the second round and go on to face Nogueira sometime in 2010. That would be my guess considering how dominating Nog was against Randy Couture at UFC 102.
The Lesnar fight is not the only fight thats going to be great at UFC 106. It will be the return fight of one Tito Ortiz who will take on UFC Legend Mark Coleman. Ortiz has not fought in awhile but I hear he is in really good shape. Also Kenny Florian will take on Clay Guida in what could be a really intense fight. Both fighters are crazy strikers but Florian has the advantage when it comes to submission. You can bet Florian will angry in there considering he lost a chance to become champion against BJ Penn at UFC 101.
UFC 106 could be the best overall fight card of the year but I doubt it. UFC 107 already has a stacked card in December and here what that card looks like.
Quinton Jackson vs. Rashad Evans
Frank Mir vs. Cheick Kongo
Thiago Alves vs. Paulo Thiago
If those aren’t some great match ups I don’t know what is. The last half of the year looks like a great for the UFC. As Bruce Buffer would say “It’s time!” It’s time for some great fights in the UFC
