Posted from a dude on the UFC fourm
Carwin and Lesnar have simular backgrounds.
Brock wrestled in high school with a record of 33-0-0. then he wrestled in college. Lesnar won the 2000 NCAA wrestling championship as a heavyweight after placing second in 1999. Lesnar finished his amateur career as a two-time NJCAA All-American, 1998 NJCAA Heavyweight Champion, two-time NCAA All-American, two-time Big Ten Conference Champion, and the 2000 NCAA heavyweight champion with a record of 106–5 overall in four years of college
Shane also wrestled in college, becoming a two-time NCAA Division II Wrestling National Runner-Up Heavyweight in 1996-7, and the NCAA II Wrestling Heavyweight National Champion in 1999. He was also a two-time All-American in football. Carwin is also a volunteer wrestling coach for the University of Northern Colorado.
Carwin and Lesnar's fighting style is primarily wrestling and boxing but Shane has the better stand up.
Both Carwin and Brock run a 4.1 in NFL tryouts.
Carwin out benches Brock by 55 or 65 pounds, that's a pretty dam big edge strength wise.
Brock Has a 81 inch reach, Carwin has a 80 in reach.
Brock walks around at 285 to 295, Carwin walks around at 280 to 290.
There the exact same height.
Brock is a Div 1 wrestling champ 1 time and a 1 time runner up.
Carwin is a 2 time Div 2 champ and a 1 time runner up. (unsure of record)
(There a difference yes between Div1 and Div2 but Carwin has been wrestling since age 6 and coaches it at the local collage still.)
Brock has been studying bjj for 9 monthes or so and is said to be around a purple belt in it.
Carwin has been studying bbj for 3 years and has a purple belt in it.
Carwin has 5 subs and 6 tko/ko's.
Carwin notably has the biggest hands in the UFC. He wears the same 4X gloves as Lesnar does, but must cut them open on the sides to make them fit. Carwin trains with custom made 5X gloves, but cannot use them in fights where official UFC fight gloves must be worn.
