Call my crazy, but seriously wtf makes you think Lesnar is gonna run through Carwin? You've either gotta be a Brock Fan, or not knowledgeable. Carwin is undefeated, been doing this a hell of a lot more then brock, has like 50/50 TKO/Subs and nobody has ever made it past the first round. Not to mention the fact that he's just as big as brock is 6"3 260-265 lbs. You're kidding yourself if you really think Lesnar is gonna have an easy fight.

Carwins height is exaggerated he's more around 6,0 Brock was a division 1 wrestler while Carwin was division 2, Carwins boxing hasn't looked to impressive in any of his fights he got tagged by Neil Wain and Gonzaga the only chance Carwin has of beating Brock is with his lethal right hand but then Brock also has a lethal right hand as well as better wrestling.

And so what if Carwin has been doing this longer when his first 10 fights were against unknowns and 1 decent fighter Gabriel Gonzaga where as Brocks were against Frank Mir and Randy Couture both ex UFC champs and Heath Herring. personally I believe Carwin will be destroyed by Brock although having said that I would still rather Carwin win, can't stand Brock but to many people have a bad habit of underestimating him, and just because I have an opinion different from yours doesn't make me any less knowledgeable or a Brock fan.

I still think you're not knowledgeable. First of all, how can someone's height be exaggerated? He's 6"3 according to wiki and ufc.com, end of story. Being a division 1 wrestler can only take you so far, and although brock HAS in fact beaten 2 top guys, he did it by using his size difference to win, nothing more, nothing less. With that said, putting brock in the cage against someone just as big, with a track record that carwin has, again i would have to say you're not very knowledgeable if you think Lesnar is gonna destroy Carwin.

Size and brute strength as opposed to Carwin whose looked unimpressive getting rocked and dominated each fight till he wins by lethal right hand, each time he got rocked by unknowns, he got dominated by Gonzaga whose 6,1 and you think he can control Brock your delusional, what track record? 10 randoms and Gonzaga, the second Brock rocks him which he will he'll either be knocked out or Brock will take him down and beat him till he taps or ref stops it, and we'll see November 21st.

It's funny that you say he looked unimpressive and got dominated in each fight yet he's never been to the 2nd round. He ran through Gonzaga. Regardless i'm not saying that Brock will or won't beat him.. i'm saying given the facts it's not as obvious a decision as you make it out to be.

I only said he got dominated by Gonzaga, but when it comes down to he's hard as nails can take a punch, has a brutal right and is a beast, I just don't believe he can beat Brock, Brocks been to powerful for some of the best heavyweights and Carwin always gets rocked before he finishes the fight, I just don't believe Carwin can come back from been rocked by Brock.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
