The Carwin fight is, weirdly, the most legitimizing of Brock's career. For all the memes about Brock being unable to take a punch, a top ballot candidate for hardest heavyweight hitter ever in Carwin (it's him, Ngannou, Lewis and Hunt), who'd laid out every person he'd so much as touched, hit him in the head 39 times and somehow didn't put him out.

Also I personally think Fedor would've smoked contract dispute-era Randy. Randy still got his poo poo broke by Gabriel Gonzaga before he won, he got dropped by the advanced standup techniques of Brock Lesnar and he couldn't handle Nogueira's boxing OR his bottom game. I think he was the beneficiary of an extremely fortunate moment in the UFC's divisional timing.
