UFC 116 Picks: Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin Tale-Of-The-Tape: In hand-to-hand combat sometimes it is not always the better fighter that wins but the bigger fighter. As the age old saying goes a good big man will beat a good little man, and in heavyweight fighting this is especially true. Our fight picks staff has decided to size up all of the measurable for one of the physically biggest UFC bouts of all-time when Brock Lesnar meets Shane Carwin in UFC 116.
 

Fight Picks Analysis: As you can see from the complete Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin Tale-Of-Tape below we also sized up each of the fighters skill sets. Lesnar is listed “officially” at 6’3” but he looked clearly 2” taller than Carwin at the weigh-in. Lesnar also has more muscle mass overall and is physically stronger. Carwin will also have a significant reach disadvantage against the long-armed Lesnar who probably has close to an 85” inch wingspan. The Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin Fight Odds have Carwin at +110.

From a skills standpoint Carwin’s only advantage is in striking power. On paper Shaneq has a “punchers” chance but Lesnar has shown an excellent chin. Carwin should be able to hold his own in the clinch with his dirty boxing but Lesnar’s pure size and strength could get him mauled on the mat. Carwin’s defensive liabilities in the stand-up could also get him hammered by one of Lesanar’s 4x sized UFC mitts. The Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin Fight Odds give Lesnar a 58% chance of winning.
