By Bleacher Report's Jeffrey McKinney:
Shane Carwin and Junior dos Santos are known for being two of the best strikers in MMA.
Both men are 12-1, make short work of their opponents and have never been knocked out.
Saturday, at UFC 131, Carwin and dos Santos look to change that. Both men have vowed to knock the other out.
We hear this time and time again from fighters, but what makes this pair the most believable is both are primarily known for their stand up.
If Carwin gets in trouble on his feet, he could turn to his wrestling to get him out of it. Carwin is a Division II national wrestling champion.
Carwin is very confident in his stand up game and who can blame him when each of his first 12 fights has ended with a KO, TKO or submission due to strikes.
Wrestling could give him another element to his game plan.
Taking dos Santos down and keeping him there could take some of the confidence away from him. It could also keep him guessing what could come next.
