It appears that the UFC has saved the best for last. The end of its "Three weeks, three events of" daylight saving time will delight fans of the fight when the fireworks fly on June 11 in the UFC 131. The card is headed for a showdown between heavyweight Junior dos Santos and Shane Carwin, who has the status of number one in the heavyweight division of the UFC to win. The winner of the fight will be an opportunity to gain the place of detention against the heavyweight Cain Velasquez.
Also on the card is the first with former lightweight contender Kenny Florian in the lightweight category against the highly touted Diego Nunes. Florian is a constant in the lightweight class for years, challenged twice for the UFC lightweight crown in the past, narrowly missing both times. After losing a number of a rival party to Gray Maynard at UFC him 118, Florian decided to try his luck at 145 pounds. Whenever a slight nervous competitor, acting quickly can pay dividends for "Ken-Flo", which no longer face the inconvenience and great strength in the lighter weight.

Impressive 55-45 Junior Dos Santos
Shane Carwin and Junior Dos Santos is famous for banks to their opponents cold. Carwin has a demonic power in his hands, but when you compare the removal of these two monsters heavy, it's a good idea also examined the level of competition they face inside the octagon. Junior Dos Santos KO Stefan Struve, Fabricio Werdum, Gilbert Yvel and beaten the legendary Mirko Cro Cop. All the best strikers that victims of Shane Carwin - Neil Wein, Christian Wellisch and Frank Mir. Dos Santos is more technical and quick with your hands while Shane Carwin depends mostly on its power. Cigano has the advantage of it, but there is always a chance that a bomb at the right time of Carwin the Brazilian go-getter would sleep.
Clinch / Dirty Boxing: Shane Carwin 65-35
Notable in the clinch combined with greater benefits to fight Shane Carwin Junior Dos Santos. "The Engineer" will weigh about 20 pounds more than Dos Santos, a crucial difference in the fight at the door or melee. But that's not all about the size (just ask Frank Mir), Dos Santos simply never faced anyone as strong and as skilled as dirty boxing with Carwin. Clinch will be the first choice of Shane Carwin after he realizes Junior Dos Santos is much faster with his hands. Carwin will try to do the dirty war in a way in this fight, using his size and strength advantage.
Fight: 80-20 Shane Carwin
Shane Carwin has a strong background in wrestling, which has been tested in the fight against Brock Lesnar. Carwin managed to defend the takedowns Lesnar Round 1, shows that the Minnesota Viking NCAA DIV. II, kids can also fight. Dos Santos, has never had a takedown fighter in the Octagon. Werdum, Cro Cop, Gonzaga, Yvel, Struve, and Nelson did not even try to make Junior Dos Santos to the ground. Shane Carwin is a completely different story.
Offers: 55-45 Carwin
Despite the fact that Shane Carwin made his UFC Brock Lesnar is a 116, I feel like "engineer" is more than enough to make the instruments Junior Dos Santos. Carwin is a Rear Naked Choke Guillotine 2 and 2 of the profits, while the Junior Dos Santos RNC is just a "W" for hunting 2-7 Eduardo Maiorino. Moreover, Dos Santos armbarred a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, Joaquim Ferreira, back in 2007. It 'clear that Carwin is not a black belt in BJJ, but still has a slightly better game of non Dos Santos Junior, also taking into account the fact that trains Cigano Nogueira brothers.
