UFC 116 displayed to the world the holes in the UFC Heavyweight division. After current champion Brock Lesnar ate a right hand and an uppercut, he fled his opponent instead of standing his ground. The 300 pound behemoth was trampled over the entire first round and while he lay on his back he barely defended the shots that Carwin was landing. The first round comes to a halt and so does the competition as Carwin comes out in the second round and literally falls down as Lesnar goes for the takedown.
