Shane Carwin plans on withdrawing from his previously announced fight against Roy Nelson at UFC 125 on Jan. 1 in Las Vegas.

Carwin blogged Tuesday morning that he will need at least a couple of months to recover from a back injury and much longer if surgery is required.

“I am going to pull out of the fight with Roy Nelson,” Carwin said. “As many of you know I have been having some back pain. I had an MRI yesterday and I have some damage that may really require surgery. If the doctors do not have to perform surgery then I will be out eight to 12 weeks. If they do have to perform surgery, I do not know how long I will be out of action.”

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Moments before he made his entrance to a chorus of jeers and cheers at UFC 121 in the Honda Center on Saturday night, a bearded Brock Lesnar appeared on the big screen to identify himself as the baddest man on the planet – a claim he’s repeated often lately, and one which few have bothered to argue.

Not long after that, the big man was sitting on the canvas, watching Cain Velasquez celebrate as the new champion while a cageside doctor attended to Lesnar’s bloody face.

Funny how quickly reality can shift in this business, often right out from under your feet.

For the moments in Saturday night’s main event where he was charging forward, Lesnar looked every bit as ferocious as advertised. But when it failed to stop Velasquez from offering up any offense of his own, that’s when we were reminded that we really don’t know all that much about this guy who, just minutes earlier, was calling himself the best.
