I think Carwin has some fundemental striking issues. He looks very tense and uncomfortable standing, and I don't really see him giving Mir much of a threat in that area. He does have insane power but thats instantly negated if he cannot land anything, which I dont think he will. I also am hoping Frank learned something from his last outing with Brock, where he looked more like Rodney King then a MMA fighter, and does not allow himself to get easily controlled and mauled on the ground. If Mir comes in with the right mindset and strategy I feel like he will run circles around Shane, as long as he does not try slug it out with him.
