The UFC is hoping to put together a heavyweight fight between contenders Shane Carwin and Roy Nelson on Jan. 1, MMA Fighting has learned.
Nelson’s camp wasn’t immediately available for comment, but Carwin’s camp informed MMA Fighting that they have yet to be offered a fight against “Big Country.”
However, other sources close to the fight, have confirmed with MMA Fighting that the organization is looking to match up the heavyweights at UFC 125 on New Year’s Day.
