Junior dos Santos Dominates Shane Carwin for UD Win

 

By FCF Staff

Fans in attendance at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena tonight did not get to witness the knockout main event competitors Junior dos Santos and Shane Carwin predicted, but they did get to see dos Santos entrench his position as the UFC’s #1 heavyweight contender. Fighting behind a stiff jab, strong strikes and solid takedown defence, dos Santos proceeded to bloody and batter Carwin en route to a unanimous decision win.

In another of UFC 131’s feature attractions, Kenny Florian managed to outscore rising featherweight Diego Nunes to record the UD victory. Early on, Nunes tested Florian with strikes and largely managed to negate the BJJ black belt’s ground game, but as the fight wore on a fresher looking Florian proceeded to take control of the entertaining bout.
