Honestly I would rather see Lesnar vs JDS but I voted Carwin vs JDS because of the fact its a number one contender fight and honestly I think Lesnar would beat JDS and I think that a new fight for Cain in either Carwin or JDS is more interesting.
I vote Lesnar because I want to see how he decided to improve after his last fight. I don't care much for a guy who's only chance of winning is in the first round.
Honestly id rather see Carwin Vs Junior because Lesnar has lost to the champion and i believe Carwin is better than Lesnar and in the pecking order of skill and competitiveness i rank it.
Cain
Junior
Carwin
Lesnar
at Current in the UFC, so the fight makes more sense than sending Lesnar out again BUT he is ill now so it doesnt matter anyway.
I chose Lesnar because I wanted JDS to blow him out which I think he would.
Against Carwin, JDS has the far superior skill, but Carwin has those club like hands that put you to sleep if they touch your chin so he is always a big risk in the stand-up and this is where JDS will most likely fight him (on the feet).
JDS vs Carwin, because I don't want JDS or Lesnar to lose. Hopefully Lesnar works a lot more on his stand-up and mentality before entering the octagon again.
Ditto. I like both guys as well, this news was actually heartening for me.
Now hopefully Lesnar has time to work his standup and maybe get a mid-level fight for his comeback, while JDS can smash through Carwin and Cain in two very exciting fights.
I'm happy to see either fight, both are interesting to me for different reasons.
I know this is wishful thinking but... maybe by time Lesnar is ready to fight again the Strikeforce HW tournament will have sorted itself out. Then Lesnar could fight the runner up for the next shot after the winner of the tournament takes on winner of JDS/Carwin Vs Cain!
Maybe thats confusing, but would mean Lesnar gets a top HW on his return and then the division would be lots of fun again!
IMO, JDS vs Carwin will be more interesting. With Carwin more willing to stand and bang with JDS than Lesnar would have. Though, like people have said, if Carwin's stone fists even only flicks the chin of JDS, it could be trouble. In JDS's previous fight against Nelson, JDS did take a few shots, granted he did give a lot to Nelson. Carwin has poor cardio imo, his fight against Brock, he was gassing within 2nd round, but that may be due to him striking the shit out of Brock. I think JDS should turn the heat up on Carwin and try to gas him. JDS will look to body shot and counter punch with his speed and accuracy.
JDS vs Lesnar is the better fight, it tests both fighters at their weakness and gives us the answer we have been asking a long time, how good is JDS off his back?
JDS vs Carwin. I'd hate to see Cain vs Lesnar 2, even though I think JDS would beat Lesnar. I'm not interested in a Cain potentially rematching Lesnar so shortly after destroying him. I think Brock needs a few more fights first and Cain deserves a new challenge.
I prefer JDS vs. Carwin though either fight is fine with me. I'm just glad they found a decent replacement fight instead of giving JDS some can or someone who doesn't deserve to be in a contender fight. Carwin is a good replacement and in my opinion is better than Lesnar. I know he gassed in the last fight but granted your first title shot can make you do stupid things.
I think this is a more interesting turn of events.
The interesting thing is Junior has been game planning for Brock for a long time now, and Brock and Carwin are extremely similar in fighting style. But Carwin has what? A month to game plan for JDS?
I hope to god Carwin can put JDS on his back at least once in this fight, but I'll bet good money that he doesn't even get close to taking Cigano down.
Hmm, I voted for Lesnar vs JDS because I too think it would answer questions about JDS's ground game and the fact that it is being built up through TUF. That said, Carwin does have a wrestling background of his own, so maybe he'll shake things up and go for the grapple game? If not then I expect JDS to pick him apart standing because despite Carwin's ungodly power, his technique is very limited and I think Cigano could take advantage of that with his superior quickness and variety.
