Definitely think Nog would be Lesnar's first tough challenge. Couture did GREAT against Lesnar (best so far, besides Mir's win), and Nog dominated Couture everywhere.
Now that I think about it, Nog was able to throw and take down and transition on Couture when Lesnar couldn't.

Dude... Carwin wears a 5x. Brock wears a 4x. They have to cut Carwin's gloves to make them fit. His hands are much bigger. |

Why? Because of how good he is taking down wrestlers (re: couldn't take down 240lb couture)? Or his proven knock out power (re: has terrible standup)?
I don't think it'll be an easy fight but I see Carwin hurting Lesnar and then capitalizing it with a TKO, 1st or 2nd round. |

He knocked out Couture with a less-then on the dot strike/half graze.
He made burger meat out of Mir's face with a 4 inch punch.
I'm not making the point that Brock has showed great KO power, but these examples certainly don't indicate that he's shooting blanks.

I don't see Carwin winning, but I don't see the fight being easy by any means for Brock. I'm not counting Carwin out, but I'm definitely favoring Brock.
5X hands, whatever, Carwin was also a DII champ, whereas, Brock was a DI champ and a more dominant champ at that. However, your point that Nog could hold Couture down while Brock couldn't is a sound point. I hadn't really thought of that till you enlightened that point. It's definitely something worth thinking about.

Brock took Couture down when he tried with ease, in the Couture fight Brock was working on stand-up more then wrestling, because Brock knew he could take Couture down if he wanted to. Brock's KO power, we have not seen if he has any yet. But he did drop Couture when he barely hit him behind the ear, and he dropped Mir with a light punch nothing to hard. Yes he rocked Herring but it was around the eye and not near the chin so he didn't KO Herring but did break the eye bone. Every fighter Brock has fought look bad after the fight except for the very first MMA fight Brock had. I think everyone will see Carwin bleed and get controlled. Carwin will run out of gas in SECOND round you watch. |
