It's not his "game" but he can wrestle. There was just over a minute of stand up striking but that is due to the first round with Brock being pummeled by Carwin. The second round Carwin was really tired and couldn't do anything. I'd say Carwin took himself out of his "game". Not to take anything away from Brock but Carwin's stamina was his biggest enemy.

As for Lesnar's chin there was really only one well placed shot on his chin standing up and it was an uppercut. Most of the shots on the ground didn't hit his chin. He can take a pounding obviously which most people in that situation wouldn't be able to or probably wouldn't defend that good.

This match shows Lesnar won't always be able to use his strength to win fights. He's learned a lot since his fight with Mir (the first one) and I'm thinking the Cain Velasquez match will hopefully be more entertaining than this one.
