Shane Carwin To Possibly Get A Title Shot At UFC 106
MMAMadness.com is reporting that Shane Carwin's next fight will be a title shot against UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar (4-1) at UFC 106 on November 21st in Las Vegas. Interesting to note that Shane Carwin (11-0) posted the following on his website:
"Lots of talk going around right now. It seems to stem from a twitter post out of MN. I can't confirm or deny anything I can just tell you guys that I am training harder then ever and your support and loyalty will carry me through any fight they send my way. With you guys on my side I am ready for whatever happens. Stay tuned to the site or UFC.com for any official news about me."
Looks like Cain Velasquez will get a little more time to develop after all. This could be an explosive matchup for as long as it lasts (both guys have a tendancy to get the job done quickly). What are your thoughts on this matchup, if true?

If this is true, then this should be a really good match!

I think they need to wait to see how the Nogueira/Couture fight plays out first, that’s what I think.
Bloody hell.

lol
I read that entirely wrong earlier…Carwin’s window is a lot small than Velasquez…and it’ll probably do good numbers since Carwin can somewhat match Lesnar’s size and whatnot. Velasquez needs a little more experience

I like this better than Carwin/Velasquez….I wanna see if Carwin can land a shot on Brock and how Brock responds

Yea
I always thought matching Carwin/Velasquez up that early didn’t make sense….I’m glad they came to their senses..

This is a very good matchup. Brock definitely is the better wrestler and is bigger and a little stronger, but Shane could provide an interesting test. Those are two big boys that can throw down!

Yea
Carwin is prolly the largest legit HW out there besides Lesnar…so if Lesnar gets by him….that doesn’t pose well for the rest of the smaller HW’s…

Bloody hell.
