Jay. I ordered this PPV right before it started. Watched the undercard. U may know much much more than me, and just to put it bluntly I thought Brock defended from his back very well. Carwin got off of him for a bit as well when he had him for the ground and pound due to exhaustion. I'am not a pro on this stuff but I sure enjoyed the fights tonight and just so Iam clear even if noone agrees with me,,,, Brock absorbed what he had to and deserved to win this fight imo

Look again. He ran from Carwin right after being nailed a couple of times, got dropped and balled up like a fetus. Carwin was pounding him for 10 straight seconds with no counters.. until Brock tried to push him off with his legs.. Carwin side stepped and continued to pound on him for another 20 seconds, unanswered. Being balled up like a fetus, covering up, is not defending yourself well. He blindly threw his
hands up to grab Carwin and threw his legs up while on the ground (which is a sign of an inexperienced ground fighter in defensive mode)... he didn't know what to do, and he was getting hurt. To me, it should have been called there........ but Carwin's mistake was that he didn't keep going.. he slowed down after those 20 seconds, and allowed Lesnar to recuperate, and allowed the ref to let the fight continue.. if he had kept doing that, the ref would have called it. He was about to, until Carwin slowed down.
Lesnar's a douche.. and I hate looking at his ugly face. I can see Carwin getting another shot at the title after he goes through 2 more guys. Maybe have him face Junior dos Santos, and if Cain Velasquez loses to Lesnar.. then give Carwin another shot.
