Shane Bannister Carwin[4] (born January 4, 1975) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he was previously the UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion. He won his first 12 MMA fights in the first round which led to his Heavyweight Championship shot at UFC 116 against champion Brock Lesnar, which became his first career loss. As of February 16, 2011, he was ranked as the #5 heavyweight fighter in the world by Sherdog.[5]
Background
Carwin and his two brothers were raised by his mother, who had the goal of getting all her sons college educations.[6] He received a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines as well as a bachelor's degree in Environmental Technology from Western State College.[6]
Carwin wrestled in college, becoming a two-time NCAA Division II Wrestling National Runner-Up Heavyweight in 1996–97 and the NCAA II Wrestling Heavyweight National Champion in 1999. He was also a two-time All-American in football for Western State and was chosen to participate in the Senior Bowl.
Carwin became an engineer out of college and continues to work in that field while pursuing his MMA career.[7] Carwin is also a volunteer wrestling coach for the University of Northern Colorado.
Mixed martial arts career
Carwin won his first eight fights by first round stoppage and became the Ring of Fire heavyweight champion before signing with the UFC. He trains with Jackson's Submission Fighting & Grudge Fight Team. Shane is based out of Denver, Colorado and trains at the Grudge Training Center with Top MMA coach Trevor Wittman.
UFC career
Carwin made his UFC debut on the undercard of UFC 84 against Christian Wellisch. He won the match by KO via punch in 44 seconds in the first round, demonstrating his punching power by sending Wellisch's mouthpiece flying across the octagon. Carwin followed up with an appearance in Birmingham, England at UFC 89 against Neil Wain, winning by TKO in 1:31 of the first round.
At UFC 96, Carwin took a major step up in competition when he faced former number one contender and renowned Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ace Gabriel Gonzaga. Carwin scored a knockout via a straight right hand after 69 seconds of the first round.
Carwin was then set to face Cain Velasquez at UFC 104, with the winner getting a title shot against Brock Lesnar;[8] however, the UFC reconsidered the bout and Carwin was confirmed to fight for the title at UFC 106 on November 21, 2009.[9] The fight was later postponed after Lesnar pulled out due to illness, with UFC 108 a likely date. Lesnar then pulled out of that fight on October 26, and Dana White reported at the UFC 105 post-fight press conference that Lesnar was too ill to compete[10] and was expected to be out for the first half of 2010 while recovering from an intestinal disorder and subsequent surgery.[11][12]
Carwin fought Frank Mir for the UFC Interim Heavyweight Championship on March 27, 2010 at UFC 111.[13] Carwin stated on his website that, "Mir is a legend of the sport, and I would be honored to fight him."[14] Carwin won the fight in the first round by knockout to become the Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion. The bout also marked the longest fight of Carwin's career at 3 minutes and 48 seconds; his previous mark was his MMA debut against Carlton Jones, with the time of 2 minutes and 11 seconds.[15] Following UFC 111, Beau Dure of USA Today compared Carwin to Mike Tyson,[16] echoing a similar comparison, made prior to the event, by Mark Wayne of Fightline.com.[17]
Carwin faced Brock Lesnar for the Undisputed Heavyweight title at UFC 116. Early in the first round, Carwin knocked Lesnar down and had Lesnar in serious danger with his ground and pound. Referee Josh Rosenthal was quoted in a post fight interview stating he was very close to ending the bout. "When he curled up after (the initial barrage), that is when I commanded him to fight back, at which point he did and that’s when he went for feet on the hips and pushed Carwin away and got to his knees."[18] Lesnar was allowed to continue and became Carwin's first opponent to make it past the first round. In the second round, Lesnar took Carwin down and submitted him via arm triangle choke. This was Carwin's first ever professional loss, and Lesnar's first UFC Submission of the Night Honor.[19] In post-fight interviews Carwin said he suffered from body cramps and lactic-acidosis in the second round because he exhausted his energy in the first round in an effort to finish the fight. Carwin commented that he did not pace himself well enough and let his adrenaline get the best of him.[20]
On August 13, 2010, during the sentencing of J. Michael Bennett of Applied Pharmacy Services for his participation in a nationwide conspiracy to illegally distribute anabolic steroids, federal prosecutor Donna Dobbins identified Carwin as possibly one of 22 professional athletes to have received steroids from the pharmacy because there was a note with the initials S.C and professional fighter was attached as a occupation to those initials from 2006 found. However, it is unknown if Carwin had actually used any steroids because he has not tested positive for any banned substances during his five-year MMA career.[21] Carwin's manager was contacted but declined to comment, stating that Carwin would release a statement in the future. UFC President Dana White was also reached for comment and he acknowledged that he was aware of the story, but also declined to comment. Many people think Dobbins making the assumption the initials S.C. was in fact Shane Carwin was due to his recent fame from fighting Brock Lesnar.[22]
Carwin was scheduled to face Roy Nelson on January 1, 2011 at UFC 125;[23][24] however, he later announced on his website that he would pull out of the fight due to back pain, which will require surgery scheduled to take place on November 2, 2010. Carwin later stated that the back surgery was a success.[25]
On January 3, 2011, Carwin posted a blog on his website, stating that he had just begun his first day of training since his back surgery, hoping to be back in the octagon by May or June 2011.[26] After accepting a fight with Roy Nelson at UFC 130, the UFC shifted gears and Nelson is now scheduled to face Frank Mir. [27]
Carwin is now rumored to face Cheick Kongo at UFC 131 on June 11, in Vancouver.
Personal life
Carwin has a wife named Lani and a son named Kamden from a previous marriage.[28][29][30] The couple has a daughter named Alexia, born on February 24, 2010.[31]
