Apparently my previous fear is looking like it may become a reality. Shane Carwin has confirmed that he will most likely be fighting in March at UFC 111, but no word yet (officially) on who? Rumor has it being against Frank Mir for the interim heavyweight title.
From Shane Carwin's official website:
I expect to make my return to the UFC in March 2010. I will be fighting in Newark New Jersey at UFC 111. I have not signed any contracts yet but I have told my manager to inform UFC Matchmaker that "I accept the offer".
I will have been out of the Octagon for about a year when this fight happens but I expect to be in the best shape of my life.
I do hope to someday get the opportunity to punch Brock a few times and hope he has a speedy and full recovery. I look forward to fighting again, fighting is what I love to do.
I have a ton of respect for my proposed opponent. He has a good stand up game and can be effective on the ground. The only way to become the best fighter is to continually challenge yourself against the best fighters in the World.
I will let everyone know when the fight is "officially signed". Thank you for your support and thank you to my generous sponsors who have supported me on this road to the title.
-Shane
This fights gonna be good. I love Carwin and Mir, but I think I'm gonna be rooting for Carwin.
