Brock vs. Carwin at 106?

[Brother Brian]

Rumor has it that rather than fighting Cain Velasquez at 104, Carwin's going to be matched up with Brock Lesnar at 106 for the title. (Also on the card is Tito vs. Coleman.)

Interesting fight if it happens. Shane Carwin is a beast of a wrestler with strong hands. And Brock...is a best of a wrestler with strong hands. Could be a war, or could be 5 rounds of lay & pray.

Given that Brock's strength(or one of them) is his raw aggression, I dont see this one as a 5 round lay and pray.

The only reason I see Lay and Pray as a possibility is that when 2 strong wrestlers face each other, it can negate the advantage.

Heath Herring was only 3 fights ago for Brock, and he ground out a 3 round decision on that one. If Carwin sweeps him early, or vice versa, it's entirely possible that they would take extra care to keep position.

I'm not saying it's more likely, or even an even chance. It is a possiblity though.
