A showdown for the ages...
Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin went to fisticuffs to determine the UFC Heavyweight Champion Saturday night, which will go down in history as an awesome fight between two very scary men. Lesnar was able to survive a barrage of punches from Carwin in the first round and despite having a bloody face, Lesnar won the match in the second. Lesnar forced a tap out by way of a choke-hold that would shatter the average man’s vertebrae like a piece of fine China.
After a dramatic come-from-behind victory over interim title holder Shane Carwin at UFC 116, undisputed heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar reiterated what most inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena were forced to admit, that Brock Lesnar is THE BADDEST MAN ALIVE.
The highly anticipated showdown was dubbed “the biggest heavyweight battle in history” and the behemoths didn’t disappoint. Despite threatening a southpaw attack to bolster his shots, Lesnar opted to stand toe-to-toe with Carwin and ultimately ate an uppercut in the opening ticks for his troubles.
Despite entering the 2ndRound with a bloodied and battered face, the former Division I All-American collegiate wrestler put Carwin on his back and landed in half-guard. In another dramatic turn of events, Lesnar opted to pass on securing a dominant full-mount position. Instead, the crafty-one took side-mount in order to end their heavyweight unification bout with an arm triangle choke at 2:19 in the 2ndRound. –5thround

Despite giving credit to his support staff, Lesnar made sure everyone knew who was the Big Man of the Octagon. Read the rest of this entry »
