    Can’t bet against Lesnar until he loses. Cain is a beast, but he’s not going to hit any harder than Carwin. I have Brock in 2.

    Brock gets on top and pounds out Cain in the 1st round.

    Great fight card. Gotta take Lesnar by ground and pound with ref stoppage – who knows what round

    I have to say Lesnar, TKO, round 1. But I would not be surprised if Cain gives him a hard time. The guy seems very determined, but so is Lesnar.

    Lesnar will looked to show the Carwin 1st round was a fluke and take out Cain in the 1st.

    I have to believe Lesnar will be able to get this to the ground if he needs to. Ground and pound or his deathclutch… …that he put on Carwin will be the ticket. That being said, Cain seems like a pretty good guy when you watch the preview shows. Will definitely be watching to see though…

    It didn’t surprise me that Cain had a flurry, but I never expected him to throw that many hard shots. He did his homework, watched what Carwin did to Lesnar and took it to the next level. Lesnar was a mess at the end of the fight. Cain is an animal.

Cain then takes Lesnar down and throws punches to the side of the head. Lesnar stands back up. Cain goes for a takedown but Lesnar holds him off. Lesnar moves in for a shot and Cain drops him with a punch. Cain follows with a big knee, punches on the ground and the crowd erupts. Lesnar is in huge trouble. Cain is landing big punches from the top and Lesnar is just holding on. Cain is dropping bombs. Lesnar stands up but he immediately collapses on his own. Cain follows with punches and referee Herb Dean finally steps in. The crowd goes crazy and Cain Velasquez is the new champion.

    As Joe Rogan said “Complete total domination” by Velasquez! He is going to be champ for a long time. Speed, Power, and most important some of the best conditioning in MMA. I knew the winner of Carwin vs Lesnar was going to have trouble with Velasquez’s skills and it was proven tonight. He made Lesnar look like a wrestler not a MMA champ.

    We are watching a guy on the undercard, Madsen. His dad works for the same company as me and his older brother is my wife’s friend from high school. The kid grew up as a mean fightin’ son of gun, the MMA seems to be a perfect spot for him.

    Brock doesnt seem to do to well against strikers as can be seen in his last 2 fights. He may be fast on his feet but not so fast at getting out of the way of a punch. Wonder if Frank Meer is think “why didnt I think of that” about now. It will be neat to see Brock work on this and come back.
