After picking up his second straight loss at UFC 131, Shane Carwin was transferred to a nearby hospital to undergo further evaluation on his injuries suffered during his bout with Junior dos Santos.
According to MMAWeekly.com, Carwin’s manager, Jason Genet, wrote via Twitter that Carwin had suffered a broken nose and three deep cuts, along with having to undergo a CT scan.
While it was no surprise that Dos Santos was the superior striker, Carwin showed tremendous heart throughout the entire bout. The 250-pound Colorado native was knocked down early in the first round by the Brazilian, and appeared to be defeated, but he would continue to fight and remain in the bout.
The win has now put Dos Santos in line to face UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez, sometime this fall. While the loss for Carwin will likely lead him back to the drawing board and prepare for his next bout, but there is no denial in his heart and passion as a mixed martial artist.
