UFC 116: Lesnar vs Carwin Results or Just Let the Boyz Fight!
Posted on Jul 03, 2010 under Chris Leben, UFC News, leben, the ultimate fighter | No CommentI guess you just have to let’em fight sometimes. It’s been a few days since I watched this event transpire on July 3, 2010 in my local pub. I saw Lesnar getting his ass handed to him at the end of the first round for about 45 seconds to a minute and a half I think. I don’t know. Sometimes the fix is in and the refs stand back and watch as the current UFC posterboy gets pummeled in the hopes that he somehow wakes up and beats the bell or the other guy. They did this with Kimbo Slice/Roy Nelson fight on the Heavyweight Ultimate Fighter. Big Country had Kimbo smothered but the ref just sat there and watched for what seemed ***forever*** before finally calling the thing in favor of Roy. Looked like an obvious try at rescuing a potential ratings bonanza in Kimbo Slice but, Kimbo sucked and Nelson won. Same thing here but quite different results. Lesnar was on his back just getting the smack layed down on him and doing nothing. I would have called it and most other refs, in fact, this ref would have called any other fight that ended like this and Carwin would be the winner. This time, lucky for Dana and the UFC, Lesnar was able to shake off the beatdown and choke out Carwin in the second round. Oh well, it still was a kick ass event. The Leben/Akiyama fight was bAAAAD aaaish. Even the Krzysztof/Bonnar had its entertaining points as well. Leben is just plain scary. That will teach *ANYONE* not to underestimate him again. He didn’t even need any time to recover from his last fight. So much for hanging out on the couch for a year between UFC events. Leben won’t have any part of that.
