I know Lesnar is coming off the long layoff and Carwin hits like a mack truck, but do the UFC.com voters have it right?

I got it as a coin flip myself, I mean we really don't know shit about Carwin except he's big and strong.
And Lesnar on the other hand is coming off the long layoff so coin flip is the best I got.

Im really not sure about this fight, I like Carwin in the stand up game but obviously Brock has some mega serious wrestling.
Either way i don’t have a favourite really, but my pick is probably going to have to be Brick. Im just excited to see a great fight and card.

Carwin has had essentially 1and a half years to prepare for Lesnar. Lesnar will lose this fight for a myriad of reasons.However,his recent layoff will not be one of them. I would say he’s probably coming off the best camp he’s ever had and props to him for that but Carwins been doing it for much longer. If Lesnar wins, I’ll eat my words and the guy will have my respect….well,some respect. I got Carwin though by devestation!
Its a 50-50 fight but
I can clearly see why people would pick Carwin. For one reason, I have seen both fighters in trouble one time, Carwin against Gonzaga, and Lesnar against Mir the first time. One of them manned up and won, the other lost.
I doubt professional oddsmakers are going to make odds go one way or the other in any event, at that size, with the power they both happen, anything can happen, however, if Brock gets tired from up and down game, or tries to test carwin standing too much…….ouch.
