honestly, having him against someone his own size and seeing him get dominated in round 1 shows how much of an advantage his size truly was against his previous opponents. but beyond that he has a great chin and heart and to see him win via sub is very surprising
he just came back from a year and during the time he was fighting he was only at 60%, right now he is starting from the beginning which means that he's only going to get better, good the referee did not stop it
I find it funny that Shane Carwin, Mr. Nice Guy, the humble guy, was cursing at everybody after the fight. That's who he really is. A lot of these MMA guys try to put a fake personality so fans will like them more. They should just be who they really are.
This fight showed a few things. First is that Carwin has no idea how to pace the fight and not gas. Second is that Lesnar's chin has sufficiently been tested and he now knows submissions. Lesnar is going to be very difficult to stop and I believe Carwin was the only fighter who had a chance. The other UFC heavyweights aren't big enough to hurt like Carwin and they are going to get tossed around like a sack of potatoes. Don't bet on Lesnar losing now for years unless you like losing money.

you shouldn't be so quick to make future predictions like that, anything can happen, even the guy with the least chance of beating Brock can beat him.
Yeah Cain Velasquez, despite giving up 40 pounds to Brock, is a much better boxer who should have his way standing, and is technically proficient and explosive enough of a wrestler that Brock might have problems taking/keeping him down. Plus he isn't going to gas, not even in five rounds.
If I had money to put it would go on Lesnar via TKO over Velasquez, but he's not going to be a walk in the park for anyone.
Carwin nailed him with that uppercut.To me it shows that Lesnar will lose to someone with more gas in the tank.But the ref did an awesome job not stopping it.
