The waiting game is over for Shane Carwin. The onetime UFC interim champion finally has an opponent, as UFC president Dana White revealed during a Seattle Times live chat that Carwin would face octagon newcomer Jon Olav Einemo.
MMA Fighting first reported Einemo’s signing earlier this month.
The 35-year-old is a member of Team Golden Glory and has a 6-1 record in MMA, though he has not fought over four years.
Jon Olav Einemo certainly won’t be accused of having a tomato can tossed his way in his UFC debut, as boss man Dana White has confirmed in a Seattle Times live chat that the heavyweight will face none other than former contender Shane Carwin first. (Thanks to MMA Junkie for the heads up). Of course, […]
Jon Olav Einemo certainly won’t be accused of having a tomato can tossed his way in his UFC debut, as boss man Dana White has confirmed in a Seattle Times live chat that the heavyweight will face none other than former contender Shane Carwin first. (Thanks to MMA Junkie for the heads up). Of course, Einemo isn’t exactly a shrinking violet that just started doing this ‘UFC stuff’; the Norwegian heavyweight is 6’6, a former ADCC Submission Wrestling World Champ, whose only MMA loss came against Fabricio Werdum.
Clearly someone at the UFC thinks this guy might know a thing or two about fighting. The bout is expected to take place at UFC 131.

Brendan Schaub‘s coaches were worried about him. He’d started his training camp roughly three months out from his fight with Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic at UFC 128, and the wear and tear was starting to show.
His body wasn’t reacting the way it should have, he said. He’d do one round of sparring or mitt work and feel exhausted. It was like he was getting in worse shape as the weeks wore on. To put it simply, he’d burned himself out. That’s when his coaches got together and insisted that he leave the gym and not come back for at least three days.
“I felt like I was on that Intervention show on A&E,” said Schaub (7-1). “They were like, ‘You can either take this help, or we’re not going to help you anymore.’ I was like, really? Where’s that bald guy who looks like Dr. Phil?”

You would assume that in the year 2011, with all of the slip-related injuries that have occured over the years that were attributed to the silk screened graphics on the mat, that athletic commissions would address the issue and come up with alternative means of printing ads on the canvas.
If you don’t think that the issue needs to be discussed, ask Nate Marquardt and Shane Carwin‘s training partner Justin Salas (10-3), who fought UFC veteran Rob Emerson for the lightweight title at Full Force Fight’s event in Colorado Saturday night if it’s a problem.

UFC heavyweight Cheick Kongo is still recovering from December back surgery with the hope of returning around June, a source close to the fighter tells MMA Fighting.
The 35-year-old Kongo (15-6-2) had suffered through back problems for several months, even canceling a scheduled UFC 116 bout with Roy Nelson before taking an October UFC 120 fight with Travis Browne that ended in a draw.

The Underground posted a thread with Strikeforce Heavyweight World Grand Prix Tournament contender, Fedor Emelianenko saying he plans to train in Russia but wouldn’t mind training with UFC Heavyweight, Shane Carwin. Carwin got wind of the thread and posted this response:
“I would be honoured to train with Fedor. After seeing his CBS special I was impressed with the isolation and hardcore and yet raw training I saw,” he wrote. “Fedor has been a good guy to me. After the Lesnar fight he sent me some very kind words that put things into perspective. He is a great guy and a great fighter. I am going to be travelling for training this time around. I want to take in as much MMA as I can. I hope to make it out to Duke Rufus’s and maybe even a trip to Russia if all things go as planned.”
Shane Carwin is tentatively scheduled for a June return to the Octagon at UFC 131, though an opponent has yet to be named. Fedor Emelianenko will face Antonio Silva in the highly anticipated Strikeforce Heavyweight World Grand Prix on February 12th.
