When the UFC made its triumphant entrance into New York with one of its biggest cards of the year, one fighter was notoriously absent, co-main event heavyweight Shane Carwin.
While UFC President Dana White didn’t inform the fans or media at Radio City Music Hall why Carwin was missing, only saying that he might arrive before the finish of the pre-fight press conference, MMA Fighting has learned that Carwin was absent due to finalizing his medical licensing paperwork.
Carwin’s manager Jason Genet told MMA Fighting Carwin had to travel to Long Island to obtain final medical clearance for his interim championship bout and as a result, wasn’t able to return in time for the press conference.
