I always forget how big Shane Carwin is. That guy is a super-beast. Gonzaga’s also not under-sized (he looks like a silverback). I’m excited about that fight. High hopes for Carwin.

I’m scared of gonzaga, we see him punching one fighter in the chest at some point of the highlight, looks like the dude got hit with a flashball. And carwin reminds me of the Juggernaut.
And lol @ all the comments about how there is nothing to do in the UK.

Seriously, that punch to the chin/chest looked nasty. You could actually see the guy’s gentle spirit breaking.

This is great, I’m excited to see Carwin as a co-main event after only a few UFC fights, I had high hopes after seeing his first KO

all you gotta do is...

I didn’t realize that Carwin is a Jackson guy. I have a hunch that he’s going to have the skills necessary to nullify Zagga’s BJJ, and the cardio to outperform him in the 2nd round. I’ve got Carwin winning in the 2nd, TKO, but it’s a tuffy to call.

Page is going to destroy Jardine. It’s not even funny. Page is just too tough. Jardine’s only hope is a decision. His punches don’t have enough power. He seems to fight through pointing, not inflicting damage.
