    Good fight for 2 up coming prospects. Cain's getting KO'ed from the mount or standing though. Carwin is one VERY big man.

    This is what I like about the UFC. They're not afraid to put two up-and-comers with perfect records in the cage, let them beat the hell out of eachother, and let one walk out with a loss.

    Good stuff, I'll look forward to this. I'm taking Carwin by maulage. CV looked fleshy at 239 and Carwin looks shredded at a much higher weight.

    Looking forward to this fight. Its a good co-main event to Machida vs Shogun. I also think Carwin will take it

    They have no other choice. They have reached a point where giving them journeymen and gatekeepers wont cut it anymore.

    Now they have built them up enough that pitting them together wont ruin either fighter because they are both coming in undefeated and are on the cusp of a title shot.

    This is because Dana realized that neither is a blue chip prospect and the loser is expendable whoever that may be
