Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2008 Well, there's that test people have been talking about for Carwin. If Gonzaga loses methinks he gets cut soon after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2008 Gonzaga should manage to take Carwin before he mentally implodes. I'll say via leglock, just for the hell of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2008 Carwin's a good prospect and all, bu it's hard to pick a guy who's faced absolutely nobody of worth just yet, and is going up against an opponent with a world class jiu jitsu game and KO power standing, even if said opponent is a mental midget.

Hawkius Maximus 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2008 I'm with Lei here. Not so sure I'd say Gonzaga will win 100% for sure, but it's impossible to say how Carwin will do. Everyone he's fought has folded against him due to his power. Gonzaga's brutally strong himself. He's got KO power standing, and world class ground skills. On paper, Carwin has nothing over Gonzaga except aggression. This will be a pretty insane leap of competition for Mr. Carwin. I can't say he won't win, but I can't say he will either. I'd side with Gonzaga before I did Carwin though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2008 UFC 96 Shane Carwin vs Gabriel Gonzaga Brandon Vera vs Mike Patt Now, I'm not going to put this up unless it has some legs behind it but Chuck has said in a recent interview that for his return fight he'd like another shot at Keith Jardine and even though he's on the downswing Chuck is still a golden boy for UFC so we very well could see that go down.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2008 I don't see how it could be anything but. Both the WW/LW champs are out of the picture, Brock is waiting on the winner of Nog/Mir, Andy is booked for February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gert T 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 Did Carwin v. Gonzaga get moved from the show in Columbus? I saw that on your post of the lineup three days ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 It's still on for 96, just forgot to post it in the update. EDIT: Fixed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 Well I looked at the previous post before your last one so I thought "I am an F'n idiot, its right there". Question for the vets in this thread. I have only watched a handful of UFC PPV's, and I know 96 isn't a real high profile card, but is the live experience worth paying for? I was by Nationwide Arena today and checked out the prices, and was a little surprised, but am still thinking about going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 I'd say yes. Saunders/McLovin, Gonz/Carwin and Miller/Maynard all should be good fights. Nationwide has also had pretty hot crowds in the past so I think you'd have fun regardless of the star power a show carries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Damn, Cane/Jardine should be a great fight. Keith's awkward style matched up with Cane's great technical striking should be a treat to watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Actually, I think Cane will work Jardine relatively quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2009 It's nothing concrete, keep in mind. There's various reports saying Chuck/Shogun will be the main of 96 but with Dana recently confirming that Rampage is #1 for a title shot it seems like Evans/Page is a go in the coming months.
