Lesnar's hands in that picture are bigger and Carwin claims to have one size larger gloves. Its all a bunch of smack talking hype is all. When they stand next to each other on saturday night watch how Lesnar towers over Carwin. It will be like a gorilla throwing around a small child.

this is like the second or third time that you have painted Lesnar as being somehow non-legit because of his stint as a Pro-Wrestler. i understand that you dont like Brock Lesnar, but the whole "wrasslin" angle is a little bit disingenuous.

also, it sounds like youre saying that in the last photo posted, in which Lesnar appears to be a couple inches taller than Carwin - that Lesnar is in fact standing on a 6" box, which would actually make Carwin a few inches taller than Lesnar. #1 - that's ridiculous. we all know that Lesnar is the bigger and the taller of the two. we've all seen these guys fight. we're all fans here. so stop making the arguement that Carwin is a bigger man than Lesnar and that we're all being dupped by funny camera angles and optical illusions. no one is saying you cant pick Carwin to win, but if he does, it will probably be due to his devastating hands - not because he overpowered or outwrestled a smaller fighter in Brock Lesnar. and #2 - why would the UFC embark on a campaign of trying to fool the public into thinking that Carwin is smaller than Lesnar if he is in fact bigger?

maybe you should go back to ignoring the humor in things, oh wait you are still there. all of this is in jest, dude your just f*cking with me right? if not then your a knucklehead bottom line.

Everyone chill, this is a nice MMA forum because it's relatively free of strife. We're all just joking around here, everyone is looking forward to the big fight tomorrow and I'm sure we can all agree they are just plain big guys.

yeah see that realistic 1 inch of height difference isnt a big factor. the 2 of them look to be pretty dang close in size, i dont see a potential for more the 10lbs of size difference is that much at fight time. its going to be fun no mater what. lesnar has been trying to play mind games, with his "im going to come out south paw, oh i guess i let the cat out of the bag" BS.
