The Ultimate Show recently sat down to interview with heavyweight fighter Shane del Rosario. Discussing his car accident last April and his comeback to fighting at UFC 146 on May 26.

Following a string of victories in Strikeforce, del Rosario was rear-ended in an April 2011 car accident. Shane suffered several herniated discs as a result of the accident, which forced him to take nearly a year off from training.

In hindsight, Shane claims that the accident was a good thing. It allowed him to take time off from training, refocus his life and get healthy. He now feels that he is in his best shape ever and will showcase a cleaner and smoother fighter than fans have seen before.

Del Rosario looks forward to spending the next three months training for his return to fighting on the big stage against a big-time opponent in fellow heavyweight Gabriel Gonzaga.

Del Rosario plans to make his UFC debut a big splash and come out with a win.
