Lesnar Taps Carwin

And still ...

He survived the WWE and Vince McMahon. He survived a life-threatening medical condition which prevented him from eating for 13 days (though he still weighed in at 256 lbs.). And at UFC 116, Brock Lesnar not only survived a 1st-round beatdown by undefeated Shane Carwin, he came back to choke out Carwin in the 2nd. The WWE is starting to look more and more like a distant memory.

Lesnar used his ground game and heart to make Carwin tap. He will need to tighten up his defense on the feet against a fighter like Junior Dos Santos. But since there is no Fedor Emelianenko or Fabricio Werdum in the UFC, his reign may last a while as long as the fight remains on the canvas.
