Las Vegas, NV (USA) ? One day before America watches fireworks to celebrate their independence, the biggest heavyweight title fight ever will go off in Las Vegas. Ultimate Fighting championship? heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar returns to defend his heavyweight championship against interim title holder Shane Carwin as Bud Light Presents UFC? 116: LESNAR vs CARWIN, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday, July 3.

?When people wonder why the heavyweights capture the imagination of all fight fans, it?s because of guys like Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin,? said UFC President Dana White. ?Not only are they great athletes and former national wrestling champions, but they both have the ability to end a fight with one punch. This is one of those fights that you won?t be able to turn away from because it can be over in a split second, and when it?s over, only one will walk away as the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion of the world.?

I think Shane Carwin is going to win. Brock Lesnar has the brute strenght but Carwin is more experienced and has good technique. Lesnar hasn't fought in a long time also and after the last Carwin fight, plowing trough Frank Mir seems like much less of an achievement.

my money is on Brock, it should be illegal for a guy of his size to move as quick as he does.

But who knows how his sickness affected him and still continues to affect him. I don't see him winning if the fight lasts longer than a round or two.

And then there is the fact that Carwins fights don't make it to a second round.

I used to like Lesnar in his WWE days but MMA has brought out a different side in him. An arrogant and cocky one. Nothing to be so cocky about, he lost his first fight in UFC!

How is that different from his time on the WWE? :shifty:

I never really liked early WWE Lesnar not until late on...the shooting star press was sick though! definitely a high spot for him!

Didn't he get a bad concussion from that?

Yes, he suffered a severe concussion from that move.

Only a few days until 116. Thing is nobody even talks about the other main card matches. They could probably sell this on the Lesnar - Carwin fight alone.

He could turn face at any time. He was a pretty good face as well.

Amazing a guy his size doing that. Very agile.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
