im going with overeem. If carwin tried to clinch with him he will eat some nasty knees and overeems definitely got the advantage on the feet. Overeem also has a good ground game but if carwin is able to take him down easily then he might be in trouble.

Carwin isn't stupid enough to stand with Overeem. As long as he doesn't take a knee while shooting for the takedown I say he takes it by ground and pound, sub, or decision

Carwin has crazy power in his hands, but Overeem has crisp striking to the point of ridiculousness and I think he outpoints Carwin all night long. Carwin's never fought somebody with a good size advantage on him and we know Overeem can take a punch, so I think it all really comes down to the explosiveness in Carwin's shot, because if he can get this to the ground, the striking edge is null and void.
Personally, I think Overeem's power and technical striking will keep Carwin at bey with BRUTAL legkicks and distance too long and eventually Overeem will rock him and sink in the guillotine. I don't think I've ever seen somebody toss a man Rogers' size with the ease Overeem did last night and that scared me a little. Carwin's a big, powerful fighter, but I think Overeem's striking is on another planet and Carwin'll be hardpressed to secure a shot without eating something really grizzly on the way in.

Carwin has never taken on a striker of A) Overeem's caliber and B) Overeem's size and in order to get off a shot, he's going to have to weather some pretty brisk shots of the likes he's never endured.
Seeing how easily Overeem tossed Rogers around, I think Carwin won't be too far off if he cares to clinch and Overeem will take a much more subdued and pinpoint approach and just legkick Carwin's shot into oblivion. Carwin isn't refined enough in any avenue and I see him getting guillotined.
