Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin

Brock Lesnar is 4-1 in his MMA career. His single loss came at the hands of Frank Mir in his UFC debut at UFC 81. Lesnar avenged the loss to Mir by defending his Heavyweight title against Mir in UFC 100 on July 11th, 2009. That was Lesnar's last fight. Lesnar was originally slated to face Carwin for the title last November until Lesnar fell ill after contracting diverticulitis. The bout was re-scheduled for this past January until it seemed like Lesnar's illness might be career-ending. Although his life hung in the balance, Lesnar was able to make a "miraculous" recovery and is excited to get back in the Octagon after a year-long layoff.

During that period, Carwin showed his dominance at the top of the division. His last fight was a first round knockout of Frank Mir, in a fight that would give the winner the interim Heavyweight title after Brock Lesnar walked away. Shane Carwin has a perfect 12-0 MMA record and has a perfect 4-0 in the UFC with three of his four finishes coming under two minutes, and now the Colorado native looks to stay undefeated and take the undisputed UFC heavyweight championship from Lesnar.

Also, Wanderlei Silva and Yoshihiro Akiyama are official for a co-headlining the 185-pound middleweight bout at UFC 116. Silva, a former Pride Fighting Championships star, will take on the ethnic Korean fighter in a bout that will draw added interest from Japanese MMA fans.

The 34-year-old Akiyama earned a split decision against Alan Belcher in his Octagon debut at UFC 100 last July. A former K-1 Hero’s light heavyweight champion, Akiyama has only been defeated once against K-1 heavyweight Jerome LeBanner in 2005.

Silva, 33, is fresh off a triumphant return to the win column in his most recent performance, a unanimous-decision victory over Michael Bisping at UFC 110 in February.

Up until that point, Silva had faced questions of his long-term viability when he went 1-3 inside the octagon, including a knockout loss to Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 92 and a decision slide to Rich Franklin at UFC 99. After a seven-year absence from the UFC, "The Axe Murderer" made his return to the promotion in December 2007 with a unanimous decision loss to Chuck Liddell in a fight considered to be among the year's best.
