UFC 116 Lesnar vs Carwin Preview
One of the most anticipated MMA battles of the year takes place Saturday when Shane Carwin takes on heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar for the undisputed heavyweight title at UFC 116. Lesnar, coming off a 1 year layoff hopes to bull rush Carwin who is the same size as Lesnar while Carwin hopes to finally test the chin of Lesnar.

Lesnar, 32, and Carwin, 35, were originally going to clash at UFC 106 last fall, but Lesnar had to pull out because an illness – a bacterial infection in his intestinal track – kept him from training. That fight was indefinitely postponed when Lesnar underwent surgery in November to close a perforation in his intestine.

This will likely be a stand up war and it would be surprising if the fight went past the first round. Who do you think will win? Is Lesnar ready for Carwin? Can Carwin survive on his back?
