I think Shane Carwin didn’t expect the outcome of his UFC 116 match against Brock Lesnar to turn out the way it did. He was pummeling Brock Lesnar in the first round of their match, bloodying him and almost had the referee carefully thinking whether he should stop the match. It turns out that Brock is made of sterner stuff and survived the storm of punches from Carwin.

When the second round started, it was clear that Carwin was weary from all the punches he threw in the first round resulting to him being easily taken down by Lesnar. It was quite amusing how Carwin winked at Lesnar before the second round started. I think it was more of a psychological attack on his part. Unfortunately Brock didn’t flinch and just smiled back.

Planting himself fully on a prostate Carwin was the beginning of the end for Shane Carwin. It doesn’t matter how strong you are, when you have a person of Brocks size and weight sprawled on top of you, it would be difficult to dislodge him. More so if you’re still trying to recover from a furious first round.

Brock showed Cain Velasquez who was watching from the sideline how fearsome he is when he got Shane’s neck and left arm in a triangle choke. Like a python choking the life of its prey, little by little Brock squeezed the air out of Shane Carwin who capitulated and gave him a friendly little tap. The referee didn’t lose a second and quickly stopped the match.

The main event of UFC 116 showed why Brock Lesnar is the most fearsome MMA heavyweight champion on the planet and Cain better think of a great strategy before he can dream of ever defeating the Man Mountain that is Brock Lesnar.
