Carwin won that first round, but he had a total adrenaline dump and punched himself out in the first round. Lesnar had said before the fight that there is a lot that goes into being a main event fight. There is a lot more pressure than being in an undercard or even main card fight that isn't the main event. Lesnar mentioned that Carwin hadn't been in that situation, and he (Lesnar), had been in that type of situation a lot during his wrastlin days. In a way, Lesnar was right. The stress of being in a main event is huge, and can affect a fighter. The pressure of having to win or just be disregarded as another pretender to the belt just makes it worse. Add in that you have to fight a guy like GSP, who has taken all strikers, BJJ guys, and wrestlers, and made them all look overmatched, and you've got to be a stressed out wreck.That's a lot of stuff to handle, even before you step into the cage.</blockquote>
