Shane Carwin recently spoke to MMAWeekly.com about recovering from a badly broken nose sustained in his last fight with Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 96. The heavy-handed heavyweight says he was cleared to spar last week and wants to get back into action in the fall, though he doesn’t have an opponent in mind.

MMAWeekly: How does your nose look now? Did you ask them to shape it?
