Carwin to face Lesnar for UFC title

Shane Carwin will fight Brock Lesnar at UFC 106 for the UFC heavyweight title.

MMA FanHouse says Carwin’s fight against Cain Velasquez at UFC 104 has been dropped and he will instead fight Lesnar in the main event on the November 21st card.

Carwin blasted Lesnar after the heavyweight title holder’s post-UFC 100 behavior.

He said: “The flipping off of the fans that just lined your pocket with millions of dollars is just LAME. He may be a Champion but he has a long ways to go before he earns the respect of a Champion. The fans are why we do this Brock, this sport is not about fat paychecks and drama it is about hard work and sacrifice for a shot to do what you did last night.

“It doesn’t matter how much money you make if you can’t earn your peers respect and the respect and love of the greatest sporting fans in the world. We have no scripts in this sport, no pre-determined earning amount and no pre-determined outcomes. It doesn’t matter if you win or loose it matters how you win or loose.”
