I'm still quite unsure as to how to take this fight in all honesty.. I mean a submission shows that he's constantly improving and growing but at the same time, I still don't think he can take a punch. Sure he weathered the storm while pinned down, but he blocked alot of them later in the round, but he crumbled pretty quickly which makes me think he really can't take a shot that well on his feet. But all in all, i'm dissapointed that Carwin didn't pull out the win.. but at the same time Lesnar is a tough dude.

He was VERY flinchy...I don't think he took a beating I think he just played it smart but Carwin will def learn from this mistake and I HOPE they get a rematch.

SOOOO dissapointed.. but at least Lesnar was humble, which was nice to see, perhaps the illness made him a little nicer..lol

Carwin is still a beast though.. i was sure it was a done deal in the 1st, but a submission win.. W T F..

On a side note it was a pretty amazing event.. Stephan Bonnar and Chris Leban are BADASS, both amazing fights.

100% agree. amazing event. brock's humbleness and him getting that submission the way he did makes me think differently of him now.

His fighting career almost ended, talk about a wake up call. I do have more respect for him however he needs to be beat (along with Anderson "the bore" Silva).

well i would expect him to be flinchy considering how long he has been a wreslter and they dont really take shots to the face, so im sure itll take a while to adjust. hopefully i can watch this later in the week.

I think the loss is more on Carwin himself than on Brock. Carwin tried to use his only gameplan: not let the fight out of the first round, gassing BADLY in the process. He couldn't even defend the takedown in the 2nd round. He just laid there and waited to be choked out.

Brock Lesnar has just returned to action, but UFC President Dana White is already lining up his next two fights.

"You're going to see Cain and Brock fight," White said. "Then coming up, Dos Santos is going to fight 'Big Country,' and the winner of that fight will get the next shot."

Lesnar does not appear to be in any hurry for his next title defense. He spoke about his immediate plans at the post-event press conference.

"I'm expecting a baby in two weeks," he said. "My wife's been a trooper. She's been pregnant for 18 months these past two years."

"I'm going home tonight. I'm going to visit some family when I get home, and I've got some combining. I'm a farmer now, and I'm doing what I love to do. I've got some combining to do this fall, and I want to shoot a white-tailed deer and spend time with my family."

White seemed less enthused about that plan. "I've got to talk to Brock," he said. "Farming sounds fun and everything, but it's not what pays the bills."

I hope that carwin gets into cardio shape now as he had no energy left at the end of round 1 which sucks as i'm sure he would have defended the takedown well like he did in round 1 if he had some energy left, brock would have been knocked out pretty quick. I hope they have a rematch within 9 months!

Carwin had said in his blog that he didn't gas, that something happened to his body while he was punching brock in the first. He said it felt like a full body cramp and that his legs were seizing up on him. That's why he wasn't able to stop the takedown in the second, he said his legs just wouldn't work. Not trying to make excuses, for all i know this could be an indication of someone gassing, i have no idea, just repeating what he had said.

Oh a "full body cramp" like feeling achy and tired and geting too much lactic acid in his muscles... the kind of thing that happens when you gas! This is just like the McKray loss on TUF. Never fought anyone past the 1st round and bam! gas hard. Carwin just wasn't used to it, probably could never make it into the 5th round.

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
