Yup big fan of it, annoyed Brock lost, he could have potentially won that fight.
Looking forward to Machida/Rampage.

Excuse me, but how did you end up with this conclusion? He was getting dominated.

He was dominated.
I think, with a different gameplan and a different approach though, he could have emerged victorious. As things went, it really didn't go his way. Ducking right into an uppercut, and getting hit squarely in the back of the head. He couldn't recover like he did in the Carwin fight, and Cain obviously having watched it, was aware of the danger of tiring himself out.
Cain is by far a better striker. I think lesnar should have entered slower, started pawing, found his distance and went for take down after take down. I was a bit shocked when watching the fight live he charged in and started throwing wild knees. He made quite a few errors, even when he managed to take Cain down, he was more concerned with getting himself in place then keeping Cain grounded.
He's really going to need to alter his gameplan or bring in some serious striking coaches, because standing and trading with arguably two of the best heavyweight strikers in the UFC hasn't worked out well for him so far.
Rumor is he may be facing Kongo next, he also isn't bad in the stand up.

You're so wrong, it's not even funny. Cain and Carwin are not 2 of the best HW strikers in the UFC, not by a long shot. And Lesnar has shown that he turtles up when he gets hit, reminded me of Bob Sapp.

Who is then...? Kongo, Dos Santos (he's quite good), Nelson, Mir, Schaub?
8 of Carwin's 12 wins are down to his fists. All in the first round.
8 of Cain's 9 fights were ended by his fists. 7 TKO's.
The stats speak for themselves, but you only have to watch them fight, Carwin hit's damn hard, and Cain is a great precision striker.
As for Lesnar turtling up, it's unfortunate and perhaps he will never be able to change that aspect of his fight game. However, he's only fighting 2 years basically, all these other guys have been in the game far longer, so perhaps it could be down to training. I'm also convinced Lesnar does very little training off his back.
