Carwin: I would unretire for Lesnar rematch
Shane Carwin told FOX Sports that he would come out of retirement if it meant another chance at Brock Lesnar. “I’m all in,” said Carwin of a possible rematch.
After winning the interim heavyweight title, Shane Carwin almost finished Brock Lesnar in the first round in his first defense. Lesnar survived the enslaught and finished Carwin in the second room after Carwin slowed way down. Carwin would lose a decision to contender Junior Dos Santos in his next bout then retire from the sport. The retirment was due to serious back issues, but for a second chance at Brock Lesnar, Carwin would step back into the cage in heartbeat:
A few weeks don’t go by before there’s some headline out there about Brock Lesnar potentially returning to the UFC. And the man who nearly defeated him for the UFC heavyweight title hopes they’re all true — he would love to be his return opponent.
Shane Carwin told FOX Sports that he would come out of retirement if it meant another chance at Lesnar. Carwin stepped away from the UFC last year due to injuries, mainly a chronically hurt back. Lesnar, meanwhile, is currently the WWE world heavyweight champion.
“I’m all in,” Carwin said of a rematch. “All the pain would be worth that.”
