If Carwin wasn't taking this fight after surgery and on short notice, I think he might have a better shot.

@jaycool, that's a good breakdown.

I think Dos Santos wins this as long as he doesn't get caught in the first, as Carwin's cardio is bad enough, and coming off an injury it will be even worse. JDS takes this by UD or less likely a late tko.

No way Carwin's gas tank lasts to a decision. Someone is going down in this fight.

I see this fight being a repeat of Carwin/Gonzaga minus the ending.

Prediction: wrong Carwin   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

i think carwin is going to win in the first, i think that carwin and JDS  are about even in the stand up and with carwin having larger reach and using his clinch i think that he will be able to put him away in the first. but neither of these fighters have had there chins really tested so either could get hit really by the other and just go out, so this could go either way but im sticking with carwin.

@Jaycool - Great breakdown

 

I really think Carwin is just going to go in there and be the bigger stronger man much like he did against Mir. He showed he can knock someone out just in the clinch with a few punches, and that is not something you see very often. His strength should be an 11/10 LMAO

Prediction: correct dos Santos   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Dos Santos is simply too technical a striker and faster. I see Carwin attempting many Takedowns towards the middle of Round 1

I think Dos Santos has the ground advantage, and Carwin has yet to show an earnest effort to wrestle. Combine Carwin's lack of cardio, and you have a second round JDS TKO.

Dos Santos will be very fast Compared to Carwin. It all depends on Carwins takedowns.

I wish Carwin the win in this fight but I don't think it will happen. JDS is faster, better striker (technically) and better cardio. JDS will stay away from Shane early in the fight and try to make Carwin chase him and then when he gets a little tired and starts breathing out his mouth JDS will strike. JDS is younger and not coming off neck surgery too. The odds are up against Shane but he still has that power so ya never know!!

Carwin will get the fight against the cage and throw those insanely powerful short shots and hurt JDS to get the stoppage win
