UFC 116: Lesnar vs Carwin results

A completely epic night of fights from top to bottom. The MGM grand garden area was packed with fans looking to see the biggest heavyweight title fight in UFC history. They were not disappointed with what they saw either, because all the fights were very solid.

UFC president Dana White even got into the action claiming this was “the best UFC” he’s seen. That statement is very had to argue against and at the least its one of the top five UFC PPV events in history.
