UFC 116 Results: Brock Lesnar Submits Shane Carwin With Arm Triangle in Round Two

Epic.
Shane Carwin hits hard. A left uppercut clipped Lesnar and hurt him in the first. Brock reeled and backed up into the fence. Carwin pounced and eventually had Lesnar on his back shoved up against the cage.
Carwin had over half the round to work from there. Josh Rosenthal should be commended for his work here. While Carwin was landing, Lesnar never stopped fighting back. Eventually Carwin was throwing shots at Lesnar's arms, unable to get through Brock's defenses. Brock eventually worked back to his feet and stalled until the bell.
If Carwin's power was his one true known, his gas tank was the unknown. Coming into the second, Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg wondered if Carwin had overexerted himself working for the finish. He looked tired, and it didn't help matters when Lesnar took him down with a double leg takedown.
From there, Lesnar showed his progression as a fighter, passing from half guard into the mount. Instead of posturing up and raining down blows, Lesnar instead transitioned right into an arm triangle. Carwin defended well, doing a good job to separate his should from his neck. But once Lesnar got the right leverage, he adjusted the hold and forced Carwin to tap.

This fight effectively dissipated the BROCKLESNAR myth.
He cowers when he gets hit with good shots and can barely last a round under pressure without gassing. Its a miracle he actually survived and won the fight. Pathetic.

This fight dissapated the Brock Lesnar myth
and brought in the Brock Lesnar facts.
1. He’s incredibly tough.
2. He’s got ridiculous heart
3. He’s got a sub game now
4. He’s the #1 heavyweight in the world, bar none.

That second round was gross
two guys gassed out of their minds, and Shane taps while Rogan is busy saying he is fine.
BOOSH
Nope...
Rogan immediately noticed when Brock hipped down flat, rounded the corner, and removed the space. So, your analysis is simply incorrect. Try again…

doesn’t look like you’re doing a great job ignoring him. last time i checked, you don’t have to tell someone you’re ignoring them. that defeats the purpose….amirite?

I didn’t think he was gassed either. Its better to take damage than be that big and throw punches non-stop for five minutes.
How did I end up on this bandwagon and why does everything say property of Chael Sonnen?
I thought he was
seeing them both circle each other while breathing super-heavy. Then Brock took him down with an attempt I think a fresh Carwin avoids.
Could be wrong though; won’t know until I see again.
See? I can admit I don’t have all the answers. Tell teestroyer he is mean.
BOOSH
There’s a difference between being tired and being gassed. He looked very swift in the groundwork. Especially the transition to the arm triangle.

Perfectly put.
He went from one side to the other like a fucking cat. You aint doing that if you are gassed. Beautiful submission and a great win.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
Not to mention squeezing that long and then overpowering Carwin with the triangle. Very hard to do if you’re gassed.

Planning a post-fight analysis of Carwin/Lesnar?
I liked your articles leading up to the fight.
And yeah, Lesnar wasn’t gassed. Took the fight to the ground, advanced to to full mount from half guard, then to side control and applied the arm triangle. The guy who was gassed was the one that blew his load before the first round ended.

But damn. Can anyone on this planet beat that guy?

The size differential is pretty significant.
Lesnar is going to manhandle Velasquez.

Brock was fine through 3 against Herring. Surely he was more worn tonight but Carwin’s fists had a lot to do with that

He doesn't have the power to keep Lesnar from just picking him up though.
The whole reason that Carwin was dangerous was that he could knock Lesnar out when Lesnar came in for the takedown. Velasquez can’t do that. Technical boxing or not, Lesnar is going to walk right through those punches.
Silly humans, this world is for robots.
Why the hell is everyone talking about how good a boxer Cain is? Has everyone forgot the Kongo fight already?

Forgot about the combo he landed on Nog later?
If Derek Jeter clubbed a baby seal on earth day while wearing a mink coat and crocodile skin boots while burning tires on an iceberg, the reaction would be "Its OK Derek, you’re a Yankee." -First mammal to wear pants
Nog was never much on the whole "defense" thing,
plus Nog has seriously slowed of late.
The Kongo fight was 3 fights ago for Cain. He’s one of those guys who looks 100% better everytime you see him. After he UD’d Kongo he TKO’d Rothwell (something Gilbert Yevel couldn’t do.) And KO’d Big Nog (Something only Mir had done) Cain is a evolving puzzle, Brock will have his hands full solving it.
USMC vet. MMA nut. Rousimar Palhares is a dirty fighter.
Pain don't hurt...
He KOed Rothwell and a burnt out Big Nog. I’m not impressed. I think he is much more skilled than Brock, but I think the size difference will be to much for him. If Shane didn’t KO him Cain sure isn’t. I think it is going to be hard for him to stick and move also. A decision victory is Cains only chance.

He actually has a point.
I don’t think Brock’s chin is all that great … but his recovery ability is outstanding. He’s more like Wanderlei Silva than he is like Mark Hunt in that respect. He can be hurt, but he recovers incredibly well.
He just took clean shots from the guy that everyone wants to claim is the heaviest hitter in MMA without getting KO’d, but his chin is not all that great?

I just went back and watched the first round and while Brock was covering up a lot, every time the ref said to defend himself, Brock responded by using his legs to push Carwin away. So, let the bullshit begin no matter how fantastical it happens to be!

Should have been Stopped or Not

So, does Brock steal Sub of the Night from Lytle? Obviously, Lytle’s was much more technical, but Brock pulled off the sub after taking an ass beating in R1.

Had his hands full, sure.
But finished with one punch. He blasted Lesnar over and over and over again, and Lesnar didn’t go out. Overeem couldn’t KO him, and he wouldn’t have a ghost of a chance of stopping the takedown.
That's true. But
just staying awake on the ring with him is impressive, let alone knocking him out.

Ubereem is a great guy to hold up as the one to beat Lesnar, because it is likely that they will never fight, and will therefore never get BROCKSMASHED
Keep Firing, Assholes!
Have you accepted BROCKLESNARRRRRR!!!!!!! as your personal Heavyweight Champion?
Why you think so? After Ubereem destroys Fedor and Werdum Dana will offer him a nice contract to which he can’t say “no”. Dana knows very well that his heavy champ can’t be called the best until he beats the best guy from Strikeforce and that’s why he will spend a lot of money to get this guy to the UFC.
As long as Ubereem is SF champ
How does he fight in the UFC?

Really wasn’t impressed by Brock’s shots or his set-ups, I think Cain is technically on a whole different level. I think he’ll find himself on-top, Lesnar will just hold on, and Cain will be much more measured with his punishment that Carwin was. Props to Lesnar for being tough, but I think he’s about to get steamrolled by the next big thing at HW.

Velasquez doesn't have to knock him unconscious to win
He just has to keep hitting him over and over and over and over and over until the ref stops the fight. His conditioning is way above the majority of heavyweights. If Lesnar doesn’t get a takedown immediately it’s going to get ugly and Velasquez isn’t going to punch himself out like Carwin did.

Funny you folks make Carwin as something special to beat. That dude never saw the second round for gods sake and had his hands full with a freakin Gonzaga. Also just becasue Carwin didn’t take out Lesnar doesn’t mean Lesnar have an uberchin, it could very well be that Carwin just didn’t find the sweet spot. Nevertheless simply ridiculous to say Ubereem couldn’t knock his ass out just because Carwin couldn’t. I’m a big boxing fan with several years of boxing under my belt and you would be in shock how many guys in boxing with supposed great chins were out after they got clipped on the right spot.

Sorry, but beating every opponent you’ve ever faced in the first round is not used in a derogatory sense. Beating every other opponent you’ve ever faced in the first round and then gassing the first time you get to the second is used in a derogatory sense.
And again, Lesnar’s resume isn’t more impressive.
Yes it is, and Carwin didn’t just gas he rocked and hurt Lesnar and went for the kill you can fault the strategy but considering his past track record you can see where he was coming from.

Can’t you read? Fedor doesn’t have the size and power to compete in modern MMA heavyweight class. He was pushed against the cage by Rogers and when he had Rogers down, he couldn’t keep him there and Rogers literally stood up with him. If Rogers weren’t such a noob he would finish Fedor.
To compete or to win every time? Saying Fedor can’t compete is totally incorrect.
How did I end up on this bandwagon and why does everything say property of Chael Sonnen?
He’s got one loss and it was after he knocked the guy to the ground and got caught in a triangle by a world class BJJ black belt. Do I think he beats Lesnar? Nope. Do I think he beats most heavyweights. Yep.

Hmph. I gotta disagree with most of you.
While I came away super impressed with him, I think this fight made Brock look very mortal as well. Carwin could barely lift his arms that second round – his frame can’t take the weight that Brock’s can. This is why I never bought into the myth of the impending never-ending superheavyweight dominance. There are extremely few human bodies on the planet that can carry 265 pounds of lean muscle mass and fight three (much less five) rigorous MMA rounds against another heavyweight. Brock is a freak, and he just may possess such a body. Carwin certainly proved he doesn’t.
Can’t wait to see Cain v Lesnar. This division is in for a fun few years, especially since Jon Jones’ ETA is probably 2012 or so.

Epic is right
That was just an outstanding card. Very technical and just nasty. Loved it. I would not mind seeing Lesnar and Carwin go at it again sometime next year. Carwin is not Lesnar but he is the biggest physical challenge Brock has ever faced in the UFC. Mir with the ankle lock really doesn’t count. Mir was drowning up to that point. If Carwin learns to pace himself and not strike at gloves for 3 minutes it would have been even more fun. the better fighter won but it is worth seeing again.
I guess this answers questions about Brock's chin/ heart
if he steadily refines his standup, he may be unstoppable for a good reign
Even when I'm laying on my back I'm never backing down
3 things regarding Carwin/Lesnar
1) I think the fight should have been stopped in the first. Lesnar was just covering up at one point not defending himself at all. I did not like the reffing here
2) But having said that, Brock showed he had heart and came back to win the fight in the second. You cannot deny that and I was impressed by him. That was a great ground game by him.
3) Carwin needs to learn not to completely blow his load trying to put someone away and he definitely needs to address the cardio. He showed good takedown defense in the first but after visibly be gassed out in the second, it made it easy for Brock to take him down
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" - Philippians 4:13
There were multiple times that a stoppage wouldn’t have been out of the question, but Brock’s arms are so fucking huge that he blocked a lot of those shots.
Ultimately it’s up to the ref. We’ve seen it stopped in past fights quicker and sometimes they go on longer. I felt the fight could have been stopped. In the end it doesn’t really matter because the fighter has to be ready to go despite those situations and Carwin completey blew himself out. He needs to address that for the future and Brock deserves credit for coming back in that second round. He has my respect
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" - Philippians 4:13
I think Carwins round 1 would have finished 99% of
the HW in the world. Including Fedor, Uber, Cain and JDS. Brock did just enough to keep it from getting stopped. If Finney vs Cyborg didn’t get stopped, now way in hell this should have been.
Whenever the ref seemed to be thinking about stopping it
Lesnar would kick off on Carwin hard. That simple thing won him the Undisputed UFC heavyweight championship
I'd love a rematch!
Bottom line is no one is beating either Brock or Carwin. Those guys are monsters! I think they’ll eventually rematch because Carwin’s power will be too much for the rest of the heavyweights and Brock’s wrestling combined with his power and heart will make him unstoppable outside of Carwin.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" - Philippians 4:13
You can call him that after he beats Cain, JDS and Ubereem and not after he beat Mir and one round Carwin ;)
Actual Mr Sherdog. I can call him that now. It is clearly my opinion
and most readers here at BE. You are a bad troll.
He’s the best Heavyweight in the world right now. No one outside of Carwin has a chance against him, and I’m not a Brock fan at all. Cain, JDS, Nelson aren’t going to have anything to offer.
1) Lesnar
2) Carwin
3) Fedor

Wow.
No matter how you saw it, that was one hell of a show.
Who has the Ban-Hammer?
Hopefully there be some serious house cleaning very soon.
As for that sound you hear, its the stampede of BROCK haters jumping off the Carwin bandwagon and hitching themselves to another bandwagon. Some like Cain, some like JDS, others say Ubereem is the best. A few foolishly hopeless people are still attached to Fedor. One thing is for sure though, you can’t deny that at this point in time BROCKLESNAR is the best HW in the world.

I expect BE to give Riney a warning for calling me “Mr. Sherdog”. I got it for much less and what’s he’s doin is clearly trolling and name calling.
are you people get banned?
wow BE has turned back into middle school where the teach leaves the classroom and as soon as the teach comes back it devolves in to the “Tattle- tale” Olympics
ooops meant...., are you really calling out for people to get warned?
I should go to sleep. My hands and brain are not functioning as a team anymore lol
Quit bitching in the comments, please.

Cain
Cain clearly has very little chance at beating Lesnar. Someone who is big and powerful, with good boxing needs to beat Lesnar, and that was Carwin. Cain V’s stand up is just ugly.
I think Cain’s stand up is light years better than Shane’s or Brocks honestly.
Stallar.com take a gander!

If by "ugly" you mean extremely technical and efficient...
Unless you didn’t watch the noguiera fight?
Train hard, fight smarter.
Ill Just wait for the Rematch
Cant see anyone else beating Lesnar. So Shane will come in and finish it next time

Please reply!
Wrong article.
Dude. It's Anderson Silva.
If he gives a damn he will end Sonnen’s night by either sub or KO.

By Monday morning Chael Sonnen will be pissing out of his neck.
