An example of a loose ref. I've seen fights called for way less than what happened here. But it was a championship fight so it would go until someone died or KOd.
I'm not one of these mma fans who shit on everything Brock Lesnar......But, if that would've been any other mma fighter it would have ended in a stoppage.
An escape route after sheer desperation will make a cripple man walk. Can't tell you how many times I had my ass handed to me in BJJ, only to come back after the other party tired them self out and got the submission. It's that fraction of hope, it does things! You see the light, and run for the hills!
the moment brock realizes the fans finally accept him as their champion with cheers instead of boos (which he normally got ) was a priceless moment and a priceless reaction from Brock
This comment section has me feeling old, cuz I still immediately think of all the major hate Brock got at first, me included. Unlike so many athletes from other sports that come to MMA, Brock put the work in and proved himself. A legitimate titan who EARNED the respect.
@@zencomeseasy602 Brock worked HARD to be with the top. He never got punched in fights before that were meant to deal damage and his career is amazing to look back on when you realize he didn’t do mma at all before this (just pro/college/HS wrestling).
@@ItsReplayBroI’m pretty sure Brock trained for like 6 months before his first match where most guys have years of training. He obviously had the wrestling down but still that’s insane to have little to no training compared to guys who have done this practically their entire life. If Brock went straight into ufc instead of like 13 years of wwe I’d be willing to bet he would have been dominant as fuck
Thumbs up by going from entertainment wrestling to UFC Champ ...... gained a ton of respect for himself and simultaneously the wrestling entertainment world.
@LunaticKing-fj3hp He only faced top contenders and he beat the best. His only two losses are to ATGs which was after he nearly died to diverticulitis. He was very good
I've grown to appreciate Lesnar's UFC career. With only one MMA fight under his belt, he signed with the highest level of MMA competition UFC and debuted against their former heavyweight champion. In just a few fights defeated one of the greatest heavyweights ever Couture for the championship and defended it twice against Mir and the undefeated Carwin. Remember he began his MMA career at the age of 30 and jumped straight into the deep end
"Jumped straight into the deep end" is a weird way of saying "was granted opportunities for next to nothing that other fighters had to actually earn" If he had to get 8 fights under his belt, like Mir or Valasquez did before getting a title shot, there's no chance he comes out of those 8 fights with a 7-1 or 8-0 record like those guys did.
@@zesteecheezefair enough point but i think he was granted the opportunities becuz he already established such a big name for himself not just in the WWE but his amateur wrestling background itd be another thing if he was just a celebrity who was put in the same position, then u could say it was completely unearned
the fact that brock managed to tank carwin's punches to the point that carwin got tired before brock got knocked out is absolutely incredible. can you imagine what is going through carwin's mind, a guy who could very easily knock out most people with one well placed punch, he pummelled lesnar for a solid minute, and then he stands up. thats some horror movie shit

The smile between the two at the end of round 1 is something beautiful. Two beasts that just spent 3 minutes trying to kill each other just enjoying the moment and their sport. Wow
Its amazing how Brock actually accomplished being a UFC heavy weight champion. Like no one comes over from WWE and does that. I give a lot of respect to Brock for that. He was making a shit load of money in WWE and wanted to test himself. Thats a bad dude.
He'd go back to WWE too making even more money and is super self sufficient being completely DIY lifestyle. Such a genetic freak, imagine if he started MMA only after 3 years in WWE (that experience in front of a crowd helps I'm sure)
Back when heavyweight was almost super heavyweight and the man who was really the first ever prime time needle mover of the ufc... props to ref to allow the match to continue and props for an insane comeback by Brock and also just after beating deathbed due to diverticulitis..inspiring match and era
Doesn't matter what they do today, the comment was this why you never give up Brock didn't give up he was never out he was intelligently defending himself, you guys are just WWE haters
Honestly still for me one of the greatest UFC fights ever. Brock had the presence. Watching now after all these years still gives me chills. Two absolute hulks of humans going at each other full throttle. With a pure power and strength come back at the end. Chills and emotion off the charts!
Are you serious ? that's terrible, the biggest names in HW were so bad technically in this time.. That's a total mess, how could you think that's of the greatest fight ever..I mean ok that's your opinion but i don't get it. Lesnar is probably just the worst HW champ ever.. even if he was charged AF. And his striking is so lame, damn.. big muscles but 0 power when he throws.. he only had great wrestling that's all.. Am not a hater btw ; that's just a shitty fight and fighter tbh..
@@Le_Fullmetal yeh he has less experience inside the ring. He barely fighted 4-5 matches that time. But in that time he kick those best on list HW sssses. He lacks experience only, otherwise but still wins. Technically he was poor but functionally he was better than whole ufc. Means in body power, stamina, speed. And with those things only this guy become the HW champion of world. That ain't no small thing dude. That's like a random guy like u becoming the HW champion
Crazy that Brock had no mma training prior to the ufc and came from the wwe. That’s why Brock’s striking looked stiffer than most but once it got to the ground he flowed like butter.
I'll never forget this day, everybody at Buffalo wild wings went nuts, Brock showed so much heart and Shane literally beat him till he couldn't bet him anymore, all time classic
Brock took an incredible amount of damage... this is when i 1st realized how tough brock is... watching this live was amazing...Nobody else could have taken that many hits from Carwin.
I love how brock used proper technique to move safely from mount to side control when finishing the arm triangle choke. He chose not to exit the mount the same way he entered it.
Carwin such an underrated legend man, showed up and Killed everyone in the first round and only lost to Lesnar (which easily could’ve been stopped) and prime JDS, solid ass career
The atmosphere and the anticipation of fights during this era is incredible. Don't get me wrong there are lot of great fights and even greater and technical fighters now compared to the past but damn, I miss the era of 2005-2012 era of the UFC. I miss this kind of crowds and the hype of every fight is unbelievable even though it's quite not technical yet.
I was literally discussing this with a coworker last week. It almost seems like there’s too many events now, and while I get it makes money and showcases a lot of talent, it just isn’t the event UFC fight cards were in this era.
You know things are serious when your opponent, the one that you beat the shit out of him and that you made him clearly bleed, is smiling like he enjoys that shit
Nothing but respect for Brock Lesnar after this bout. He was getting mauled by Carwin in that first round, it was a complete one-sided domination. If this was held today, it probably would have been cut short early into the ground and pound. But it wasn't, and Lesnar did the impossible, survived an all-out beating only to come back, go to ground, and land the submission. You love to see it.
Facts. I couldn’t believe they didn’t call it. I get why they do it, and I know their hearts are in the right place; we want to make sure no one gets majorly effed up, you know? But sometimes these fighters still have a lot more to give.
What a lot of folks don't realize is that when Lesnar was on the ground, he was telling the ref, "I'm good, I'm good" which let the ref know he was still in it.
Fighter also get knocked out cold and get up and question why the fight was stopped the ref isn’t there to ask if he’s okay he’s there to prevent them from killing each other and 9 times out of 10 a fighter will lie or keep going despite there physical shape they’re willing to die in the cage it’s the ref’s job to stop it before any real damage can be done this is a recipe for cte 😭
This is the fight where I realized Lesnsr was not what he was before - that’d he hadn’t fully recovered. The overreaction to the knee…..But it’s also where he showed intestinal fortitude and skilled strategy to reverse a bad start.
We all know that a lot of these guys were on many sauces and Carwin was a big time juice head. I loved watching Shane fight but doing that stuff cycle after cycle, your body starts breaking down faster and it can't recover correctly.
Round 1 tap out was expected. Brock Lesnar "never give up attitude" was fantastic. Great fight from both. Well faught and shows how both fighters are top of their game.
I was a Carwin fan. I remember this match. I thought was finished...but the referee didn't stop the fight...never seen such an intense beatdown. Kudos to Lesnar who survived! Always in the Carwin army!
Was excellent defense. His arms are so damn big you cant sneak anything around them lol. But hey whatever works. Punched himself out then got caught in a choke.
I remember back then this fight was the biggest fight in the sport then. Two Titans with the most power colliding, 2 guys that hadn’t really been tested on the feet, this fight was everything and more
People who are new to the sport don't know who shane carwin was If he touches you, you go flying! He was undefeated and finished all his 10 fights within 1 round and Lesnar made him tap
His finish on Frank Mir is fucking scary. I remember watching it as a fairly new fan to the sport (Brock was what introduced me to the sport as I was a WWE fan as a kid) I remember getting bored with the holding in the clinch then Shane just unloaded with uppercuts and he doesn’t stop until Frank dropped. I was just in awe at the sudden ferocity. Definitely one of the moments that solidified me becoming a true fan of the sport.
This days Shane Carwin was undefeated 12 wins and 0 Loses and 12 knockouts and all knockouts in the 1st round... I think this record was the greatest have ever seen in UFC until today.. Carwin was unstoppable knockout machine.. no one was available to stop him this years.. and he absolutely destroy the prime Frank Mir in seconds like a no one before.. and Brock when he was sick by diverticulitis he did this.. he survived lot of heavyweight brutal punches and elbows on his face and he stop him and beat him.. this night Brock Prove to the world why he was the best in the world and become the undisputed UFC h/w champ. Big respect to Brock Lesnar for this night. Lot of fighters say if Brock wasn't sick he should was UFC champ for long years. FACT
Carwin was a total beast, knocked out Mir, Gonzaga etc, but Brock proved he was a tremendous athlete being able to adapt to MMA and actually won + defended his title in only several fights.
Some people dismiss Brock since he came from WWE. They forget that he beat Mark Hunt,Frank Mir,Randy Couture and Shane Carwin with an amazing come back.
Frank Mir is washed up even in his prime. Randy coutoure wasn't really a heavyweight, he was a light heavyweight. Brock bested mark hunt on steroids and knew that Mark couldn't wrestle. Shane carwin was the only legitimate fighter and Brock took advantage of shane gassing himself out. Otherwise, Brock got whopped by Alistair, Cain and could have been junior too.
@@KingAllpha321 also Brock was wearing red shorts,also UFC was sponsered by budlight,also that day was Sunday,also Shane was wearing blue shorts,also Shane carwin ate too much before the fight,also he wanted to go for pee so he rushed,also Brock smiled before the second round Shane got mesmerized....
I agree that it absolutely gets stopped today but they let a lot of fights go back then that they wouldn’t today so I don’t think it was necessarily because it was Brock. That Matt Hughes comeback against Frank Trigg never happens today either.
If Brock Never Enter in Wwe and He pursued his career As UFC Fighter then it would be a Nightmare for other fighters of UFC .........!💀 Mark My words .......!💀
Man, this is an old fight. The fighters still were allowed to have sponsors then. Also, that undefended pounding in the 1st round would've been called in today's UFC. Brock would've lost
I was about to say the same thing but figured someone else already said it. This fight absolutely gets stopped in the first round today. I feel like we do miss out on some potential epic comebacks, but fighter safety should take precedence over what ifs.
@@georgefreemon2935 Derrick Lewis was still there in his last fight too but they still stopped it. Not saying I disagree with your assessment of Lesner’s state but I do still think this fight gets stopped if it happens today.
NCAA heavyweight champion, UFC heavyweight champion, and WWE heavyweight champion. One of the greatest careers in combat sports history. Edit: I guess I should be clear: obviously WWE isn’t an actual sport. If anything, it’s live stunts and showmanship. A bunch of weebs are calling me out for naming his reign as a WWE championship as a great accomplishment but they don’t understand how many talented athletes who participated in WWE have never been chosen to hold the belt. I, personally, would never claim to be able to do the things WWE superstars do on an almost daily basis. But Brock can and still does. He is a decorated wrestler, a decorated cage fighter, and a decorated in-ring performer. Call WWE fake, but you can’t deny that Brock has earned respect universally in both combat sports and sports entertainment.
Shane hit him so often that he was tired and Brock took some really hard hits. It's insane that Brock could handle all of them so well. He can take so much.
That show of respect at the start of the 2nd between Carwin and Lesnar was beautiful, how Lesnar survived that 1st round just shows how much of a fucking beast he really is
one of the greatest heavyweights ever certainly greater then that coward cormier who avoided every elite heavyweight cormier has amateur striking imagine thinking he was actually good when he was fed easy fights
@@borborygmbobolink he lost twice to an easy stylitcly fight dc wants anyone who will move forward when stipe didn't dc got ktfo stipe never fought long range ever yet only in a few months he was able to beat dc in long range which is laughable because there fighters like gane rakic ankalev who fight long range and would starch cormier yet no one says a thing but cormier has showed sloppy takedowns and striking he couldn't take stipe or jones of gus down in fights he lost or arguably lost to yet they think cormier can take bigger fighters like gane aspinall volkov rakic ankalev reyes etc like be serious he is overrated
This was actually one of the greatest comebacks in ufc history, I watched this at a casino and I guaranteed the waitress that Shane was going to win, well he almost did that fight could have been stopped, but Brock somehow survived and then got the finish, lots of people were laughing at me cuz they were Brock fans, but that fight could have been stopped, that’s why I love this sport
I still have a lot of respect for Lesnar to just get in the cage and be successful. Dude is one of the freakiest athletes we have seen. He got into striking so late in the game too. Imagine if this guys was practicing all the martial arts growing up rather than just wrestling.
Wrestling is the best part of Fights. It gives you the ability to defend yourselves from almost anything. People who learns Jiu Jitsu all their lives end up getting thrashed by some wrestler some day during their time in the UFC.
@@whacklp6120 as long as he’s getting checked by docs regularly and gets regular blood tests. Should be fine. And if he actually cycles and doesn’t stay on high amounts. Just have to be smart about it.
@@whacklp6120 so this is your logic when hating brock lesnar: When brock loses: haha lol get destroyed When brock wins: hE wAs On StErOiDs Like bro everyone back then was on roids, just ask diaz!
I’ll never forgot the anticipation I had for this fight. Can’t remember when it was, like 2011 or something. I remember the promotion talking about their glove size being like 5x XL. Carwin was an animal, for people who don’t know, carwin was basically what Francis was of top coming up. A freak powerhouse that put you out with the wind from his punches. You couldn’t get out of a round with him
No.. Brock was the first ever that they had to make a custom glove for. They went to 3xl and Brock needed a 4xl ... Then came in carwin who needed an even bigger glove. He was 5xl not brock
But you are correct about carwins punches. He maybe didn't have more actual power in his punches. For example on a punching machine. But the power he did have combined with his 5xl size hands gave him more ko power than francis. He knocked people out quicker and easier than francis
It was the rise of the Real Golden years of Heavyweight 2012-2014 when Cain & JDS rose, and then the Strikeforce HWs (Overeem, DC, Werdum, Bigfoot, Barnett) joined UFC
Let’s go! Remember watching this live as a little kid in elementary school 😂 I’m 20 about to be 21. Crazy how I remember this so vividly, crazy comeback from my favorite heavyweight at the time Brock

lesnar is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time
Carwin such an underrated legend man, showed up and Killed everyone in the first round and only lost to Lesnar (which easily could’ve been stopped) and prime JDS, solid ass career
EASILY. Now days stopped looooong ago.
Not could've. Should've. He won this fight and with ease. But hey they couldn't let the money cow lose that early on.
The atmosphere and the anticipation of fights during this era is incredible. Don't get me wrong there are lot of great fights and even greater and technical fighters now compared to the past but damn, I miss the era of 2005-2012 era of the UFC. I miss this kind of crowds and the hype of every fight is unbelievable even though it's quite not technical yet.
Facts the energy was off the charts Tap out shirts beer and bbq doing all nighters anticipating the cards
Exactly
I was literally discussing this with a coworker last week. It almost seems like there’s too many events now, and while I get it makes money and showcases a lot of talent, it just isn’t the event UFC fight cards were in this era.
@@FightingIrish109 ,
Just bleeddddd
You know things are serious when your opponent, the one that you beat the shit out of him and that you made him clearly bleed, is smiling like he enjoys that shit
This was back when the HW division used to be the most popular because of all the fights being car crashes that barely left the first round
And drug testing was a joke. Now we've come full circle and it's a joke again
Nothing but respect for Brock Lesnar after this bout. He was getting mauled by Carwin in that first round, it was a complete one-sided domination. If this was held today, it probably would have been cut short early into the ground and pound. But it wasn't, and Lesnar did the impossible, survived an all-out beating only to come back, go to ground, and land the submission. You love to see it.
Facts. I couldn’t believe they didn’t call it. I get why they do it, and I know their hearts are in the right place; we want to make sure no one gets majorly effed up, you know? But sometimes these fighters still have a lot more to give.
@@dickhandy8514 What?

5:27 class act moment from both ends
5:28 what a sportsmanship by these two amazing athletes.
What a lot of folks don't realize is that when Lesnar was on the ground, he was telling the ref, "I'm good, I'm good" which let the ref know he was still in it.
Fighter also get knocked out cold and get up and question why the fight was stopped the ref isn’t there to ask if he’s okay he’s there to prevent them from killing each other and 9 times out of 10 a fighter will lie or keep going despite there physical shape they’re willing to die in the cage it’s the ref’s job to stop it before any real damage can be done this is a recipe for cte 😭
Any other fighter would have gotten called Brock got special treatment.
What a fight - unbelievable how Lesnar came back from that vicious attack. Truly is the beast incarnate
They both high five each other real sportsmanship right there
Real❤🎉
This is the fight where I realized Lesnsr was not what he was before - that’d he hadn’t fully recovered. The overreaction to the knee…..But it’s also where he showed intestinal fortitude and skilled strategy to reverse a bad start.
Intestinal fortitude might not be the best description of Lesnar. Lol
@@dash4800I’m glad somebody noticed that! I’m not much for puns but a little ironic wording is fun! 😹
I’d kill for intestinal fortitude. The amount of fiber I have to eat to stay regular is insane
It's crazy how close Carwin was to beating Brock. Hats off to Lesnar for the gutsy performance... and it's a shame how injuries plagued Shane's career
Don't forget that Lesnar was doing all of this while his health was in the worst way due to diverticulitis.
We all know that a lot of these guys were on many sauces and Carwin was a big time juice head. I loved watching Shane fight but doing that stuff cycle after cycle, your body starts breaking down faster and it can't recover correctly.
It's also why Shane's gas tank wasn't very large, even for a heavyweight
He did beat him in the first round at least a couple of times.
Ref should have stopped it
This is one of the best comeback fights ever. There were moments I thought it was gonna be stopped but the ref is an og.
7:39 'As long as he continue to do that hes gonna be okay' ...a few seconds later .....🥵😂😂
This is the first time Carwin going for 2nd round in his fight
Damn Brock is a real beast
Yeah, surviving was great. I think Carwin could beat him pretty easily if he just saved more energy, but it's his own fault.
Crazy that this fight wasn’t stopped in the first, but it was the right decision
Herb Dean would’ve stopped it
It would have been stopped if this was a modern day fight lol.

Brock Lesnar is coming back to challenge Francis for Ufc Heavyweight Championship
I remember back then this fight was the biggest fight in the sport then. Two Titans with the most power colliding, 2 guys that hadn’t really been tested on the feet, this fight was everything and more
People who are new to the sport don't know who shane carwin was
If he touches you, you go flying!
He was undefeated and finished all his 10 fights within 1 round and Lesnar made him tap
Facts
His finish on Frank Mir is fucking scary. I remember watching it as a fairly new fan to the sport (Brock was what introduced me to the sport as I was a WWE fan as a kid) I remember getting bored with the holding in the clinch then Shane just unloaded with uppercuts and he doesn’t stop until Frank dropped. I was just in awe at the sudden ferocity. Definitely one of the moments that solidified me becoming a true fan of the sport.
This days Shane Carwin was undefeated 12 wins and 0 Loses and 12 knockouts and all knockouts in the 1st round... I think this record was the greatest have ever seen in UFC until today.. Carwin was unstoppable knockout machine.. no one was available to stop him this years.. and he absolutely destroy the prime Frank Mir in seconds like a no one before.. and Brock when he was sick by diverticulitis he did this.. he survived lot of heavyweight brutal punches and elbows on his face and he stop him and beat him.. this night Brock Prove to the world why he was the best in the world and become the undisputed UFC h/w champ. Big respect to Brock Lesnar for this night. Lot of fighters say if Brock wasn't sick he should was UFC champ for long years. FACT
@@6xordorigma2011 Shane hit harder than Francis imo
@@squidguard4743 shane hasn't koed people better or better fighters like Francis
The wink = "I had you there, you got lucky" 😂
Carwin was a total beast, knocked out Mir, Gonzaga etc, but Brock proved he was a tremendous athlete being able to adapt to MMA and actually won + defended his title in only several fights.
Some people dismiss Brock since he came from WWE. They forget that he beat Mark Hunt,Frank Mir,Randy Couture and Shane Carwin with an amazing come back.
Apparently people don't really like dlc characters
Frank Mir is washed up even in his prime. Randy coutoure wasn't really a heavyweight, he was a light heavyweight. Brock bested mark hunt on steroids and knew that Mark couldn't wrestle. Shane carwin was the only legitimate fighter and Brock took advantage of shane gassing himself out. Otherwise, Brock got whopped by Alistair, Cain and could have been junior too.
@@KingAllpha321 also Brock was wearing red shorts,also UFC was sponsered by budlight,also that day was Sunday,also Shane was wearing blue shorts,also Shane carwin ate too much before the fight,also he wanted to go for pee so he rushed,also Brock smiled before the second round Shane got mesmerized....
I don't dismiss him but 5-3 isn't an amazing record.
@@chadlaflamme7942
True but he didn't lose to the average heavyweight. He lost to Mir, Ubereem, and arguably the heavyweight GOAT in Cain Velasquez.
Lets be real, if that wasnt brock lesnar, that would have been stopped in first round.
He was fine he was covering up and kicking Shane off him cry about it more
@@lookherelooklisten3078 come on man. It went on way too long. Carwin even had a few breathers and went back at it.
Yes. It could've been stopped there. He went a long time without throwing anything back.
💯 with you on that
I agree that it absolutely gets stopped today but they let a lot of fights go back then that they wouldn’t today so I don’t think it was necessarily because it was Brock. That Matt Hughes comeback against Frank Trigg never happens today either.
If Brock Never Enter in Wwe and He pursued his career As UFC Fighter then it would be a Nightmare for other fighters of UFC .........!💀
Mark My words .......!💀
Man, this is an old fight. The fighters still were allowed to have sponsors then. Also, that undefended pounding in the 1st round would've been called in today's UFC. Brock would've lost
I was about to say the same thing but figured someone else already said it. This fight absolutely gets stopped in the first round today. I feel like we do miss out on some potential epic comebacks, but fighter safety should take precedence over what ifs.
@@RolloC84 speaking fax longevity is better for the fans, fighter, UFC
@@RolloC84 Wrong, Brock was still there. He won.
@@georgefreemon2935 Derrick Lewis was still there in his last fight too but they still stopped it. Not saying I disagree with your assessment of Lesner’s state but I do still think this fight gets stopped if it happens today.
No I think Lesnar defended himself. Carwin gassed out.
NCAA heavyweight champion, UFC heavyweight champion, and WWE heavyweight champion. One of the greatest careers in combat sports history.
Edit: I guess I should be clear: obviously WWE isn’t an actual sport. If anything, it’s live stunts and showmanship. A bunch of weebs are calling me out for naming his reign as a WWE championship as a great accomplishment but they don’t understand how many talented athletes who participated in WWE have never been chosen to hold the belt. I, personally, would never claim to be able to do the things WWE superstars do on an almost daily basis. But Brock can and still does. He is a decorated wrestler, a decorated cage fighter, and a decorated in-ring performer. Call WWE fake, but you can’t deny that Brock has earned respect universally in both combat sports and sports entertainment.
So true bro
WWE is not a combat sport though.
^ true. Scripted championship runs cannot really be counted

Shane hit him so often that he was tired and Brock took some really hard hits. It's insane that Brock could handle all of them so well. He can take so much.
Yup Brock knew Shane was emptying the tank to try and finish all he had to do was survive the onslaught and wait for Shane to gas out
@@jdg_5175 Yeah, Brock did great, and Shane blew that so badly.

Best comeback win ever
Rogan: hes okay here..
Lesnar: 😡💪
Carwin: nah im good. *tap*
I’ll never forgot the anticipation I had for this fight. Can’t remember when it was, like 2011 or something. I remember the promotion talking about their glove size being like 5x XL. Carwin was an animal, for people who don’t know, carwin was basically what Francis was of top coming up. A freak powerhouse that put you out with the wind from his punches. You couldn’t get out of a round with him
summer of 2010.
No.. Brock was the first ever that they had to make a custom glove for. They went to 3xl and Brock needed a 4xl ... Then came in carwin who needed an even bigger glove. He was 5xl not brock
But you are correct about carwins punches. He maybe didn't have more actual power in his punches. For example on a punching machine. But the power he did have combined with his 5xl size hands gave him more ko power than francis. He knocked people out quicker and easier than francis
@@codyclick1971 nah..not at all
@@codyclick1971 no he didn't. I watched all his fights. Never was as primal as Francis but still dangerous in his own right.
