Shane Carwin is a former UFC heavyweight champion, but now retired has ventured into a new business hoping to help athletes manage the world of professional combat sports:
Now Carwin hopes to put those same skills to work for the next generation of fighters as he transitions from athlete to athlete management.
“I remember watching and being a part of MMA and I had a full-time job, but a lot of the struggles these kids had and the management people coming in, swooping them up and promising them the world. In return, a lot of them got nothing but got locked into these contracts,” Carwin said when speaking to FOX Sports.
“So a lot of time, I didn’t feel like their management was doing the best for them or thinking outside the box or things like that. Especially in MMA, I felt like anybody and everybody could be a manager, it didn’t matter who you were.”
