BROOMFIELD, Colo. – Trying to recount the past year of Shane Carwin’s fighting life is a bit difficult. Just listen to him try.
“You get ready for a training camp, and you get your eyes on an opponent
and start getting prepared for them, and then it falls through,” Carwin said. “Then a new one was there, and
so you take a week off and get ready to get prepared for that fight.
Then it was six weeks before that fight, and that fight fell through.
Then they were going to reschedule it in January, so I took another week
off.”
Despite the less-than-ideal path to his interim title shot with Frank
Mir at UFC 111, Carwin insists he’ll be
well-prepared – and he credits his life outside of the cage for pulling
him through.
