Carwin, 1st Rnd

Contenders fighting to stay active have not had success in 2011. JDS had a better matchup with Brock

-Grispi
-Pettis

I'm forgetting somebody, but get the drift.

I'm not really sure. Carwin is brutal strength wise, but I think JDS has better stand up technique. I think JDS can wear him down and make him gas, but Carwin could end up blasting him with a good shot. Considering the way Carwin destroyed Mir, and nearly destroyed Brock, I wouldn't want to bet against him.

What Kevin says is true, but getting that one shot is not as easy as using superior technique to wear your opponent down. I get the feeling Carwin won't go as hardcore off one good punch after the Lesnar fight, but if it's gonna be a KO I see JDS squeeking it out.

If it goes to the ground, I'm giving it to Carwin. Apparently Dos Santos has 1 submission under his belt, but he's too busy standing all the time for anyone to have much of an idea of what he's capable of. Supposedly a brown belt in bjj.

I'm also interested to see if JDS mixes it up more than he has in the past. Some body shorts, and more importantly, leg kicks could really slow down Carwin.
