Former number one contender, and super hard puncher, Shane Carwin came as close as anyone has to dethroning current UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. There was some speculation about Lesnar’s chin after the bout, with detractors thinking that the champ looked quite vulnerable. Carwin, however, disagrees and set the record straight when he answered one question with The Garv:
I feel like he took shots that were hard enough to finish any of my other opponents. Brock is a real tough fighter and a true Champion. He did what Champions do he found a way to win and did so through adversity. My hat is off to him and his camp.
No word on what’s next for Carwin but expect him to start another push to the heavyweight title.
