Shane Carwin is a 35 year old mixed martial arts fighter that participates in the UFC. He is a 6 ft 2 fighter that weighs 265 pounds, making him a part of the Heavyweight Division. Carwin fights for the "Jackson's Submission Fighting" team. Shane Carwin is on his way to become a UFC legend as he has put on impressive showings on his way to become the UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion.
Carwin has been utterly impressive in each of his fights in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. To this point in his career he has fought 12 professional matches and he has put each match away in dominating fashion. To say that he has beaten his opponents soundly would be an understatement. To this point in his career Carwin has not allowed an opponent to make it out of the first round of a fight. He has ended each and every fight in the first round by means of knockout or submission. To this point in his career he has won 7 fights by knockout and 5 more by submission.
Carwin grew up on a path towards fighting. In his youth he wrestled and continued with his passion through his college career. During his college career he was a two-time NCA Division II Wrestling National Runner-Up Heavyweight in 1996 and 1997. He topped the status of "runner-up" by reaching the top of the nation with a National Championship in 1999. He showed his total athletic ability with his becoming an All-American twice at Western State. Shane Carwin is the whole package when it comes to physical talents and abilities.
Carwin is not your typical unintelligent bruiser. Despite his career in fighting he has gained the education necessary to become an engineer. Even during his fighting career he works in his field. He also spends a lot of time volunteering as a wrestling coach.
His fighting career took off in the lower level competition of MMA. He has worked his way through the ranks and has fought in the UFC since May of 2008. In his opening match in the UFC he took out Christian Wellisch in a 44 second match by way of knockout. He has continued to dominate in the UFC by way of knockout ever since. All four of his fights in the UFC have ended with him knocking out his opponents. His last match was over Frank Mir. That victory helped him win the UFC Interim Heavyweight Championship and also "Knockout of the Night" honors.
Brock Lesnar stands in the way of Carwin taking the next step. For the upcoming fight at UFC 116, Carwin will be fighting for the Unified UFC Heavyweight Championship. This fight will represent the most important fight of his career up to this point. Lesnar will be no easy opponent but Shane Carwin has all of the tools that are necessary to take on any fighter in the world. If Carwin can bring everything together he will have the chance to find himself at the top of the sport.
