Quarterly Rankings
"I know I wasn't walked through the front doors of the UFC with people holding the door for me. I wasn't fed fights that sell pay-per-views. I was matched up by promoters and took whatever they put in front of me. One of those fights was the former enforcer for the Mongols Motorcycle Club. His previous fight ended when Mongols in the crowd started fighting and stabbing people. For Brock to say that I have hand-picked my fights is just stupid. I got my start in the WEC and I have fought everyone the UFC put in front of me. I have fought three times as many people as Brock has. If he wants to disrespect the opponents I have fought, that is his choice. I say any man or woman that enters that cage to face an opponent is worthy of my respect. They have trained hard, and to disrespect MMA fighters is disrespecting the sport of MMA. What I can tell you is, talent-wise I respect Brock, but he need a filter put on his words." - Shane Carwin
Heavyweight title contender Shane Carwin responds to comments from heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, in which Lesnar said that Carwin's opponents were "not worthy of having on your record."
In his recent statements to Heavy.com, Carwin made note that he has fought 11 fights, while Lesnar has only fought five. Lesnar, a known favorite of UFC President Dana White, was given a title shot in his third UFC fight, which was only his fourth career MMA fight. Carwin, on the other hand, is just now getting a title shot. It will be his fourth fight in the UFC, but his 12th MMA fight overall.
The two will square off on Nov. 21 at UFC 106 in Las Vegas, NV. Other fights on the main card include Tito Ortiz vs. Mark Coleman, Marcus Davis vs. Ben Saunders, Amir Sadollah vs. Phil Baroni, and Jason Dent vs. George Sotiropoulos.
