Shane Carwin To Possibly Get A Title Shot At UFC 106

by Rich Wyatt on Aug 20, 2009 9:50 AM EDT in News

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!
