Lesnar got another shot at Mir like two fights later.

I'm sure Carwin will get another.

Let's not discredit Cain too much already. Cain is also an All-American wrestler, tough as nails, and can swing. I don't think Cain's gameplan is going to be stand-up with Brock...so I am really looking forward to what (I hope) will be an interesting scrap-session with 2 of the UFC's biggest boys.

Purple...but he's got a solid ground game. Even though all but 2 of his wins came by way of KO, I think his best chance at winning this fight is taking Lesnar out of his element by going to the ground. Where both Cain and Carwin have it in them to put Lesnar on his back, only Cain has the ability to more in the situation than "punch himself out".

I'm real excited for this match too. With them both being very, very good wrestlers and good stand up guys, it should be a pretty even fight.

Haha. Also, Lesnar will be more prepared than he was for the Carwin fight with that being his first fight back from his illness.

Cain better not let Brock get on top of him. Brock has been working on his ground game and has Cain by atleast 20 lbs. If he gets on top, its gonna be bad for Cain.

Being on your back in a fight isn't good for anybody.

Don't watch a lot of MMA huh?

I think Cain will come up improved like he seems to for every fight. Plus his BJJ is awfully good for a purple.

That being said, Lesnar is still Lesnar. Sheed's correct about how he'll be more prepared. Apparently he's easily submitting black belts. IMO he's just too big and strong for anyone in the UFC.

More faith in Carwin than Cain. I don't know if Cain can handle Brock on top of him, he might just pounded out. He's gonna have to fight a near perfect fight to take down Brock.
