Everybody stands a puncher's chance against him, but to just fight him and win? I have yet to see anyone match his overwhelming drive to be the best. The way he trains, the way he studies his opponents, the way he listens to his coach, and the way he stays focused on the fight at all times all make him one of the toughest opponents in the UFC. He dismantles his opponents' strengths, takes advantage of their weaknesses, and then beats them either by stoppage or by points. Nobody is unbeatable, but with the exception of a good punch or a momentary lack of concentration, I don't see him losing the belt anytime soon. It' also tough to find someone with enough class to win graciously like he does.
I like Mir alright, but I wasn't disappointed to see Carwin stomp the crap out of someone. If Carwin can keep Lesnar's mass off him and stay off the ground, he has a chance against him. Stuff the takedowns, be patient, and wait for a good opening to get inside on him, and I think Carwin could treat Lesnar like he treated Mir. I would love every second of it, too.
Lesnar has a style that works, which is use your weight to put your opponent on the ground, then don't let them up and pound them til the ref feels sorry for the guy and calls the fight. If Lesnar was 50-100 lbs smaller, Machida, Silva, St. Pierre, or Penn could have eaten him for breakfast by now and not broken a sweat. Like I said, his style works but it's ugly. Ugly like his sportsmanship in the ring. He may be an alright guy outside the show, but I can't stand anyone who acts like that after a match - win or lose. </div></div>
