"He's a tough guy. He's undefeated, but some of the guys he's beaten aren't worthy of having on your record. He hasn't fought anybody. He's fought (Gabriel) Gonzaga, so I really think he's 1-0. He's a tough guy and a wrestler. But he's a Division II national champion — enough said. I don't know what he is, 11-0, 10-0, but he'll have a loss against Brock Lesnar."

-Brock Lesnar talks to the Las Vegas Sun newspaper about the next challenger to his UFC Heavyweight Title.

Penick's Analysis: Carwin's made plenty of comments in Lesnar's direction, so hearing Lesnar strike back with this comes as no surprise. But it's not as if he doesn't have a point. Carwin has only fought one name fighter in the UFC thus far in Gonzaga, and some have questioned his merit as a challenger, though considering Lesnar got his shot after two fights in the UFC negates that talk. Lesnar, however, did face a higher level of competition en route to that belt, and kept it by avenging his only career loss. This is going to be a blockbuster showdown on November 21st, and I can't wait to see it.
