UFC Quick Quote: A 'horrified' Shane Carwin feels bad for the 500 people stiffed by Lesnar's illness

"I was just kind of horrified that (Brock Lesnar) would even get in the face of the opponent he had just beaten (at UFC 100). It was totally disrespectful to Frank, and that’s the part that just started it all off. You know, one of the first things you learn when you walk into any mixed martial arts gym or dojo is respect and discipline, and especially for your opponents and your training partners. So that was the first thing that teed it off, and, you know, the flipping off of the crowd. You know, that was another thing. They can boo or whatever. You know I got booed when I was in England, heavily, and you can turn those boos into cheers with some simple comments. And then, you know, the part about getting on top of his wife and stuff. You know, that kind of horrified me, too, just because I have a ton of respect for my wife and my family, and they always come first. And, you know, I would never make remarks like that. There’s a lot of people that are upset that 106 isn’t happening. That was one of my immediate reactions, you know, when I found out from the media guy. He asked me what my reaction to it was. I told him my heart had sank and I told him I felt bad for all my family and friends that were planning on attending the fight. Just in this local area, from the town I am (from), there were about 500 people going."
UFC heavyweight number one contender Shane Carwin talks to Pro MMA Radio about his disappointment for himself and his fans after his title fight with Brock Lesnar was canceled from UFC 106. The champ's nagging illness has forced the fight into limbo once again, as a date to decide the heavyweight championship remains uncertain. Carwin has not competed since his first round knockout victory over Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 96 back in April. If and when his fight with Brock Lesnar actually comes to fruition, will Carwin finally get his chance to show Lesnar the meaning of respect? Or will the former WWE headliner make "The Engineer" eat his own words?

Carwin I think I speak for a good portion of the mma fans on this site when we say SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! You have beaten this horse to death. We know you the cowboy in the white hat and Lesnars wearing the black hat. Well to quote Ian Mackay from Minor threat “sometimes good guys don’t wear white”

Why would you hate a guy for saying that Brock is disrespectful to his opponent and the sport? HE IS!! He was asked a question and he answered it. I would LOVE to see him knockout Brock! Brock is the guy that needs to STFU. Oh and Mania, his fight vs Gonzaga was in March in Columbus, OH.

Shane should be happy that 500 of his friends aren’t going to have to watch him get his ass handed to him. Is this the same interview he did 4 months ago? Doesn’t this guy talk about anything else? I can see him rocking himself to sleep at night whispering quietly….Brock be mean to da fans, not Shane, Shane ride a white horse and save da fans, save dem from big mean Brock. I liked him but this act got old real fast.

Shane keeps talking about how bad what Lesnar did was.
Lesnar apologized after and it is case closed.
People like Shane are pretty lame.

Shane simply had a big mouth with little charisma. He is simply tring to compensate for that!

The guy is an idiot. If he wants people to love him which he so obviously does, he should just keep his mouth shut. People are quickly starting to loathe hearing this dip shit spew the same stuff over and over again while Brok remains relatively quiet.

Not takin sides coz quite frankly i don’t care about catfights b/t grown ass men but I think he KO’s lesnar. Anyone know who’s got longer reach? I know his lunch box fists are one size bigger than lesnars.

Shane is too slow next to lesnar, Brock is alot more aggresive and actually has decent hand speed, better than Carwins anyway.
In the name of the Fedor, the Anderson and the GSP, Amen.

NNR, Carwin got 80 inch reach and Lesnard 81 inch. Almost the same.

So Sick of Carwin!
Does he ever shut up? Does he realize people were on his side when he originally made these comments 4 months ago, and since then he has beat us to death with the same crap that Brock alreday appologized for to the point where the Idiot actually lost a ton of fans, in a span of 4 months when he didnt even fight.,
Sad part is that this fight is so far away, so we will never hear the end of Carwin and his crap!

You guys have to take into consideration that media keeps on asking what he thinks about this and that regarding the fight and Brock. What the hell do you expect him to say?
AND BROCK IS LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY the biggest DOUCHEBAG ever in the sport!
I will launch $1000 of fireworks if that asshole gets KO’d!

Synchro I most certainly agree that Brock is the biggest piece of monkey poo to ever hit the mma stage, but facts are facts he is a force, an athletic beast, and is growing leaps and bounds in mma. I do realize that the media is at fault for asking him the same question over and over,but he could still answer the question without the bleeding heart martyrdom that he uses in each and every interview. He could simply state that I have answered that question day in and day out and my actions in the ring will show how I feel about Brock (that is one simple example). Maybe I am an ass, but I would much rather hear him outright trash talk him then playing the Baby Jesus role.
I actually kind of liked Carwin till he kept opening his mouth. As much as I hate Brock, I can’t wait till he F5’s Carwin and pounds the months of vebal diahrrea out of him. Yes, Carwin we know you would have never cancelled this fight, even if you had both arms ripped off of your torso because your were saving a bus full of orphans, nuns, puppies/kittens, Ghandi’s ashes, and Nelson Mandela from the bowels of a rupturing volcano on Christmas Eve and the fight was on New Years Eve. The reason Brock has the luxury of doing that is because he is the champ, you are the challenger. A challenger pulling out of a fight faces far more serious repercussions then the champ pulling out Captain Obvious. Carwin is steps away from offering complimentary hand jobs to get the fans on is side.

Im getting really tired of his campaign of politically correct BS, rehashing the same old again and again and his recent tear-jerker of the handicapped kid who gave him a necklace and “reminded him what its all about”, which is pleasing the handicapped apparently. Aww… He’s tough on the outiside, but soft and sensitive on the inside! Just like The Rock in his movies!

carwin needs to realize maybe he and brock are just 2 totally different people. brock’s wife got famous wearing skimpy/revealing outfits for WWE, and culminated her fame with a spread in playboy. i doubt she got offended when the man she loved made a statement of affection towards her in front of possibly millions of people. if anything brock got brownie points that night b saying what he said. and the mir incident needs to just get dropped. look how gratious brock was after his fight with couture, the man had NOTHING BUT GOOD things to say about randy!! mir brought everything on himself. mir started every bit of the hating/shit talking leading up to that fight. mir had not 1 good thing to say about brock before their 2nd fight. brock HATES frank mir, he hates what he stands for, he hates how he is, and he hates who he is. i applaud brock for not being FAKE, and letting the whole world know how he feels about frank mur!!!

Carwin I speak for a majority of the fans on this site when I say SHUT THE FUCK UP!… You have beaten the good guy angle to death. We are aware that you are the cowboy wearing the white hat and LEsnar is wearing the black one. but to quote Ian Mackay from Mnor Threat. “Sometimes goodguys don’t wear white”
with that said at this point I hope he smashes you

This dude didn’t learn from Mir’s mistakes. Stop running your mouth or Lesnar will violently close it for you! Don’t piss Brock off.
by Wes on Nov 12, 2009 10:43 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Yeah Brock is not the brightest dude and he is a self proclaimed meat head but your right, his most impressive wins (mir and Herring) both came from when Brock was pissed about them running their mouth. It is so hypocritical because what Brock did wasn’t right and it was the product of a bad temper and look at Brock now or before any fight, he doesn’t talk shit where as Shane wont shut up. I compare it to a fight between men and war between women. Sure guys (Brock) might get in a fight and get bloody but after that it is usually over where as Girls (or shit talking fighters) will mind f**k each other for months. Not going to like I find the temper flaring 1 fight instance a lot better, like ripping off a band-aid fast.

I love Carwin’s logic. Frank mocked Brock and insulted him for months. That was fine. Brock throwing it back in Mir’s face after demolishing him. That was horrible. The Brock Lesnar bashing is old, and just plain boring.

actually it was kind of a douche bag move on lesnar’s part.. Everybody talks trash leading up to fights, professionals dont jump in the face of a guy you just smashed and keep talking trash! It wasnt just that as you know he insulted the ufc’s main sponser not minutes later. he is just a meathead who is acting the only way he really knows how.
Carwin is getting real annoying with these rants! Just shut up and train so you dont get smashed!

Whoa, thought for a moment someone had something intelligent to say. False alarm. He’s being genuine. It doesn’t happen much in this sport so ya’ll probably aren’t used to it. I can understand the confusion. Anyway he’s hyping the fight just like anyone else ever in MMA history. He’s actually being more respectful than 99% of anyone else in the game. The only thing I found annoying was his constant need to say “you know”. Tell your boy Lesnar to stop being a pussy and step up and you won’t have to listen to Shane answer questions about the fight anymore.

I guess Carwin is going to have to learn the same way that Mir did at UFC 100. Pissing Lesnar off is never a good idea and this extra time just gives him more mental motivation. Not a good thing for Carwin.

Well i guess Ill be the minority and say I think Carwin is in the right, if for know other reason than because this argument really needs some parity and carwin doesnt seem to have many backers lol

I don’t like Carwin anymore than any other fighter. But idiots on this site, and some employees (Jesse the Typo Holland), have made me Carwin fans through their sheep-like following of Brock Lesnar and their sheer hatred for anyone who questions his greatness. Oh, and don’t use words like parity on this site. These guys have limited time and energy to waste on Google searches. Hating on The One Fighter, being Objective and using big words their simple minds can not understand. You’re treading on thin ice Dave.

Waynus must be carwins wrestling partner, you do know dos santos and cain would kill carwin and are vastly superior to him in the game of mma. Lesnar will maul him point blank, carwin’s flash ko of gonzaga is less than impressive when it comes to challenging lesnar.

He better work on his takedown defense and hope one of his dynamite fists connect cuz yes he was a d2 national wrestling champ, but when Gonzaga can take u down like nothing, what do u think lesnars gonna do

Thank you for pointing that out Child. If it is getting old to you guys. Imagine how Carwin must feel. He’s getting asked the same question by every reporter or casual MMA fan that comes within ten feet of him. And now that the fight is postponed it will only be worse. Decent question for an interviewer to ask: “We know the story between the beef with you and Brock Lesnar, what is your game plan going in to this fight?” Hell of a question. Funny thing is, it has also probably been asked of him a million times. However, Mania chooses to post constant quotes from Carwin of this specific type that have been cherry-picked from his interviews. And the mindless mob of pre-pubescent children that troll this site feed right into it. It’s sad really.

wAyNe, I am just curious about something…If you dislike mania so much, the way Jesse chooses to run his blog, and the majority of the people that post on mania are below you superior intellect-Why spend so much time posting here or using this site at all? There are mma blogs out the ying yang nowadays. It was like when I grew up listening to Howard Stern in the late 80’s. There were tons of morning shows, plenty of radio stations to listen to yet, people that hated Stern made it their point to listen to him day in and day out. I am not personally trying to attack you, but if you are as mature as you profess to be, why post, why read the literary banter of "TROLLS"? Common sense dictates that if I don’t like something, I don’t subject myself to it. I hate broccoli-it tastes and smells like garbage from outer space-and regardless of how good it is for me, I do not eat, cook, or buy it. I hate Rush Limbaugh and all of his hypocritical view points (drug addicts should go to jail and should get no mercy, ummm except me because I am a better class of person) and I do not waste a moment of time listening to, going to his website, or feeding into his BS. Like I said, I am not going after you or anything I just don’t understand why waste your time on mania when you obviously don’t like the site.

I was actually hopeing for a double knockout. That would have been cool. But now i hope brock just destroys this guy. Which if he fights at all like he did against gonzaga than brock is gonna rape him. Like gman said if gonzaga can take you down at will, wut do you think brock is gonna do to you?

his recent "tear-jerker of the handicapped kid who gave him a necklace and "reminded him what its all about",
really make Carwin a masive douche bag and solid candidate for DB of the year.

I feel horrified Shane keeps saying the same shit over and over. But that’s what he’s going to say time in and time out when someone shoves a microphone in his face. He’ll probably give that very same reply if someone asks him who his favorite baseball team was when he was growing up.
