    So if Lesnar vs Velasquez happens, going in do you give him a better shot then you gave Carwin?

    Not really, about even, maybe slight edge to Carwin. I do think Cain would beat Carwin though.

    Velasquez has no chance IMO. Wouldn't be surprised if it's over in the first.

    Absolutely. Velasquez is a much better fighter than Carwin in every way. The only thing Carwin has on Cain is power in his hands.

    Nah i don't think velazquez has the power to hurt lesnar. I can see lesnar taking down velazquez and GNP his ass on the way to a TKO stoppage.

    I don't give him a better shot, but it's different. Cain has a lot of fight in him. If Cain survives the early onslaught he can be bad news for Brock in rounds 3, 4, and 5. I think Cain can stop Lesnar if he can make it to round 3.

    ^^Agreed. No better but Cain is a dog.

    I like to think that if it goes to the ground he could do better than Carwin.

    It seems that most UFC fans would consider this a massive upset, but to me it would be only a slight one.

    If Velasquez as a little bigger I would give him more of a chance... Hopefully his workrate can make up for it.

    Pre fight I and most would say Carwin and we were justified in how close the fight was.

    Now Cain has more information on what Brock can do. His chin can be dented, he is really poor off his back, he knows a sub or two etc etc

    If Cain keeps it on the feet I give him a good shot recently hes looked very sharp and fluid on his feet and I dont like how Lesnar reacts to clean shots. Although Cain IMO may be a better wrestler p4p then Lesnar I think hes giving up a big size and power advantage to Lesnar and I believe it leads to him being put on his back and lets face it when Lesnar gets on top hes probably going to win.

    Cain still seems to be living off great hype but best of luck to the guy.
