UFC Interim Heavyweight champion Shane Carwin is certainly one of the most humble and open fighters in mixed martial arts today, and he continued to speak openly via his blog at ShaneCarwin.com. Carwin took a moment to speak about his pay, and how it’s changed his life as well as his urge to get paid part of the PPV proceeds.
As for the money side of things. I wont lie and say I wish I was getting a piece of this PPV. Of course I want that, so does every other fighter on the card that is not. I love to fight but I would love to fight for millions of dollars. Who wouldn’t want to be paid millions of dollars for doing what they love (aside from that girl in Twilight)? But, I am not fighting for the money. If I was I would have checked out of this sport LONG ago. This is not the NFL and there is no league minimums. You eat what you kill and that is all. I have a great team making sure that I have plenty of game to hunt. I am not dependent upon fighting Brock to cash out. I am making more off of being a fighter than I could ever have imagined. I regularly make calls to my manager thanking him for “changing my families life”. I have been blessed by MMA, most of the MMA media, the fans, and even the haters and for that I am forever grateful. For those of you reporting I am only making $50,000 for this fight and that is the reason behind my limiting media, please get your facts right it is $80,000 ($40 to show and $40 to win) plus you have to factor in my generous sponsors (THANKS) and the KO and FOTN bonus that will be awarded to me on July 3rd. I would have done it for less, I love competing and testing myself.
Carwin also addresses his issues with the media, and his current media blackout as he prepares to take on UFC Heavywieght champion Brock Lesnar at UFC 116 on July 3rd.
According to UFC detractors, the UFC is far behind the curve when it comes to co-promotion.
But the truth is, while co-promotion makes absolute sense for other organizations, it makes no sense at all for the UFC.

Edgar will look to make his first title defense against BJ Penn at UFC 118. It’s going to be interesting to see what how the odds-makers perceive the bout, with many MMA insiders expecting Penn to regain his title. UFC 118 is set for Aug. 28 at the TD Garden in Boston, Mass and the card will feature a much anticipated co-main event between UFC hall of famer Randy “The Natural” Couture and former champion boxer James Toney.
("Evgeni, remind me to thank Scott Coker for these swans when we get to L.A. Dana White never bought me waterfowl.")
Call me cynical, but it’s seeming more and more unlikely that we’ll ever see Fedor Emelianenko in the UFC’s Octagon.

Call me cynical, but it’s seeming more and more unlikely that we’ll ever see Fedor Emelianenko in the UFC’s Octagon.
Many will recite the old "never say, ‘never,’" saying, but when you look at what both sides are saying, it’s seeming like an implausibility.

Undoubtedly, one of the most refreshing things about covering a mixed martial arts event is the accessibility of the fighters.
It’s clear that MMA will be an enormous presence on the professional athletics’ landscape and the combat sport is already casting a pretty long shadow. True domination is in the future, though.
At present, even its strongest […]
