Carwin vs. Lesnar & Cain vs. Rothwell

Postby keithlewis » Thu Aug 20, 2009 1:47 pm

In an overwhelming flurry of swapping, it appears that top heavyweight contender Shane Carwin is headed to UFC 106 on Nov. 21 to challenge UFC champion Brock Lesnar. Multiple MMAWeekly.com sources close to the bout indicate that, while the fight has yet to be officially signed off, both parties have verbally agreed to it.

Carwin had originally been slated to face fellow heavyweight contender Cain Velasquez at UFC 104 on Oct. 24 in Los Angeles. http://www.MMAMadness first reported speculation on Wednesday night that Carwin would instead be picked up to face Lesnar in the main event of UFC 106.

http://www.MMAWeekly.com sources on Thursday confirmed the agreed to bout between Carwin and Lesnar, and also indicated that Ben Rothwell would now step into the fight with Velasquez at UFC 104. Rothwell had been expected to fight fellow Affliction transfer Chase Gormley on the UFC 104 undercard.
