Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Shane Carwin: 'Frank Mir is either a terrible human being or unfit to fight'

Frank_mir_medium

Props: CageWriter.com

Quoteworthy:

"I can tell you that ANY athlete wishing death upon a competitor is either a terrible human being or mentally unfit to fight. That type of talk and if it ever happened will take this sport backwards. Frank has been a part of the stone ages of MMA and it makes no sense why he would want or make comments that might damage a lot of the good HE has participated in adding to this sport over the years.... Brock is a heel in the ring but at home he is a human, husband, father and friend to many. Wishing death or harm upon him doesn't serve any purpose. I will do my best to make Frank's dream of fighting Brock come true, unfortunately for them it will be a three round fight as I plan on winning both of those belts."

Heavyweight hopeful Shane Carwin -- who appears to be lost amidst all the recent talk about Frank Mir wanting to kill Brock Lesnar inside the Octagon -- adds his two cents about the situation. Carwin is booked to battle Mir at UFC 111: "St. Pierre vs. Hardy" from the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., on March 27. However, the recent brouhaha over Mir's latest mortal comments about Lesnar, as well as the swift public apology from Mir and the promotion, has overshadowed the interim title fight with just a few weeks until showtime. Mir is a master at promoting his fights ... don't ever forget that. He baited a big hook and now Carwin is on the line. Can Mir reel in the monster catch or will Carwin make him regret ever setting sail?

Perfect analogy

I don’t dislike Carwin or anything, but I think he’s trying a little too hard with the “purity of the sport” argument. I think he may be spending too much time looking at the forums and calculating his comments.

I’m not hating… I just think he’s being a little ham-handed with his good-guy act.

u guys know how much I hate Mir...but Carwin is starting to piss me off even more...

Perfect analogy…I will still root for Carwin against Mir…Mir doesnt deserve success, and him losing5 is perfect because then he will be fed to Nogueira!|

he can’t keep up anymore. too many beatings have left him shot, but it seems it has earned him some die hard dick riders.

he got creamed by mir and i think the staph excuse was mostly bs. he will get knocked out quicker if they fight again.

Out of those 5 his best chance is against Mir

And as much as it pains me to admit it I doubt that he’d win a rematch now. His defence isn’t good enough to beat the best HWs anymore.

you are correct david.

Carwin’s an ass and i wish Mir would have directed those words of his to Carwin for being such a homo! I totally knew this was coming from him, like he’s a veteran fighter who’s accomplished or even done anything for the UFC.

some of the most popular fighters are shit talkers and the biggest fights are undoubtebly those were the beef is on.

You may not like Carwin

but everything he said is correct, and if you can’t see that, you need to come up for air and take your head out of Mirs ass . Mir was an idiot for coming out with crap like that. Especially when you think of how much work went into educating people about the sport and trying to change the negative barbaric way in which they looked at it. The guy is an ex champion and supposed to be a proffesional, he shouId know better. I am just amazed at how much man love Mir seems to have, when he can come out with blatantly stupid comments like that, and you want to roast Dana and Carwin. WTF. I bet if it was Rashad saying something like that, you would be saying he should be cut from UFC. Mir is a wanker and he is going to fold after the first punch lands.

I thought he was going to shut up this time around after talking WAY too much in the Brock fight build up. I know what Frank said isn’t great, but didn’t Penn say he was going to fight to the death which is a bit of a similar statement.

At least Carwin is done kissing up to Mir, that makes him a bit more likable in my mind but I’ve long grown tired of him acting like he’s morally superior to everyone he just seems like a kiss-up to me.

He shouldn't care about either of them fighting at all, why bring up a possible Brock-Mir fight in the first place?

He needs to be fully focused on kicking Mir’s arse and let Frank waste his time talking nonsense and obsessing over Brock. I’m not sensing a lot of self—belief in Carwin and it’s getting very worrying for someone who can’t stand Mir.

exactly….both of these guys know what they’re doing when it comes to the media, especially Mir. He’s an expert at talking the right shit at the right time before his fights. As far as i’m concerned, the clock is ticking on the careers of both these guys……the reality of it is, the future of this division lies in the hands of Lesnar, Cain and JDS. These guys are on their way to becoming afterthoughts……with each passing week/month/fight, Cain and JDS a widening the gap.

I've never really agreed with that argument

I doubt that Tiger Woods, John Terry and Ashley Cole believe that there’s no such thing as bad publicity. Even in this situation Mir going over the top with his comments about Brock could end up putting people off from the sport rather than want to pay to see him get beat up or beat up Brock.

I used to like him but I’ve grown sick of his desperate pleas to the fans and it pisses me off that all of his talk got him big fights without actually earning them. He’s just like that Sam Hoger from TUF 1, someone who seems to like talking and pleasing everyone rather than fighting.

I'm a Mir fan!

i got tired of reading all of these…
          but someone was calling out Mir on his losses to Pade Pano, Vera, and Freeman… all those losses were at least 3 1/2 years ago or more… the only person that is still hanging with somewhat any credibility of those losses is Vera, who i like… but Mir has become better n better… He just took what he does with his words and amplified it with “Kill”. Its hype. I think its awesome. If anyone takes peoples words seriously, they’re idiots. Until the day that any of these people that claim are gonna kill, murder etc to their opponent actually does….i’ll be the 1st to admit my fault….but that much bark never leads to a death. The times it has happened ususally are accidents……
            But Carwin, i agree, is going too straight edged. In fact i wouldnt doubt if its all conspired. The way i see it is Dana is the one that technically has to tell them to apologize. I think he likes it. I mean i saw what Frank said make it to the Jim Rome show and PTI. and what thats doing is exposure… and at the end of the day, honestly if Dana really had issues with those words, at least theres some credit given back to him via ESPN exposure… Anyway… Im going for Mir…but this will be a tough one for him….all i can say is if he pulls it off, he deserves a threematch with Brock.
     & F all the peeps who always hate on him catching Brock the 1st time… n blaming MAzzagatti…i agree MAzagatti is 1 of the worst referees, and he def. shouldnt have stood them up, but regardless, Brock ended up getting in side control the second time (which was a better position….). Id just like to see for the 1st time someone who won the 1st match, lost the second, n win the 3rd… Im not saying that it never happens, ive just never seen it in MMA (Pride, UFC, WEC, Strikeforce) Never seen it happen… Ive seen 1 person win the 1st and then the other guy win the next two (Liddel n Couture, Sylvia n Arlovski, St.Pierre n Hughes). I’ve seen two losses in a row and then someone winning their third match (Wanderlei n Rampage, …maybe chuck n Ortiz[we’ll see in June]), ive seen someone lose 3 times to the same person (Nogueria n Herring), so id just like to see that odd rubbermatch…

So mir wants to kill him. Carwin wants to have safe fun. And their both losers and the worst ppl on earth?

Pick one you guys! How can this be? Its because you all heart Lesnar. Nothing more. Wake up and admit. Come clean. Geez you guys.

You guys are fucking terrible. Ever heard of sportsmanlike?

Let’s get something straight here. Carwin is an athlete in a sport. He is defending MMA in a way that it won’t be looked at as a bloodsport as some people still perceive it. HOW IS THIS A BAD THING?

I commend Carwin for being a class act, and leaving his impulsive thinking outside of the octagon and anything related to it.
He’s being a sportsman and a competitor in a sport. Not some swoll guy from the gym trying to act like he is the #1 guy in fucking town and is going to KILL that MOTHA FUCKA that beat him up, a la Mir.

Come on people, if you’re looking for antics like in TNA, then go fucking watch TNA.
Get out of MMA, cuz all you’re wanting is to just keep the 2 in the same category.

God, good luck getting through to these guys. You can’t talk to Brock fans reasonably. You’re automatically wrong. They don’t listen. They don’t discuss. They just instantly bash and act like trolls. Its the fastest way to see even the better posters on this site reduced to immatureness.

If Carwin is such a loser why is he 11-0?

I agree 100% with sycA. It seems everyone hates Carwin because he likes the sense of sportsmanship. Don’t get me wrong I like the shit talking as much as anyone else, but Carwin backs up what little shit he speaks. He let’s his actions speak for him. The guy finishes fights.

Name one fighter carwin has beat besides gonzaga who is worth a shit

And Gonzaga was handling him easily until carwin landed that lucky punch out of that scramble. Mir is on a way higher level than carwin and will annihilate him in this fight.

Your statement can be said for all up-in-coming fighters.

One could say the samething of GSP when he was beging his career. Yes the fighters that Carwin has fought were not the best that is why he has finished all his fights. And if you watch the knockout of Gonzaga it was not even a full punch. And every fighter at point or another doesn’t fight anyone worth shit till they get their shot. I can’t say who will win this fight but the way Mir has been fighting and the fact that Carwin’s fights never leave the first round, it should be a great fight. I do not see how it could get out of the first round.

Well gsp fought guys like mayhem miller, parisyan, and trigg when he was coming up

Those guys are all credible. Cain and JDS both deserve the fight with mir more than carwin does even before there most recent fights.

by mma guru on Feb 25, 2010 12:57 AM EST up reply actions  

Look at that list how many are still in the UFC

Mayhem Miller is about the only credible fighter on your list and that is even debatable. In my bias opinion parisyan sucks and Trigg only does well in lesser shows with lesser compettion

by Cody Lane on Feb 25, 2010 1:00 AM EST up reply actions  

Well triggs old now, and pariysan was really good back then before he started going crazy

They all were top competition back then, no one on carwins list is a legitimate fight besides gonzaga.

Rothwell maybe but Kongo not so much

Kongo has no ground game what so ever and his fights suffer because of it. And Kongo talked SOOO much shit going into the fight with Mir, and Mir knocked him down with his first punch.

by Cody Lane on Feb 25, 2010 12:57 AM EST up reply actions  

Yes Kongo is a credible fighter

He isn’t a champion calibre fight but he is definately a credible opponent.

Yeah.

Ok yeah, you convinced me. That is a good point, any MMA fan would know who Kongo is.

no no Cody lane

They only hate him because he can fight Brock soon, and he talked smack about him. Nothing to do with this. They just try to justify it by pinning it on this.

what mir said is whatever..

im sure dana white has said way worse about his competition (elite xc, strikeforce, affliction etc..) and im sure other fighters have said worse things lol
i bet if chuck said what mir said about lesnar but about tito, dana or other people wouldnt even care just the fact that mir said it about lesnar makes it a big deal.

Lesnar

I still have many question marks re: Lesnar. He’s had less than 5 fights, and while he is certainly a physical freak of nature, we have yet to see how he will handle getting punched in the mouth. Sure his wrestling is dominant, but the guy with good TD defense and good standup could be real trouble for Lesnar. I’m just not in a place yet where i can say Brock will own that title for years to come. I can’t wait for Cain or JDS to get a crack at him, especially Cain, who is more than capable of dealing with his wrestling…….will be fun to watch!

There's no denying love or hate him Brock = excitement

 We seen him take a big shot form Mir and take a knee from Mir. The question is if someone can do well striking and keep is standing? Carwin is a big man himself with a wrestling background and thunder punch that could possibily as Cain is smaller than Carwin but quicker and more relentless. And Mir well we all seen what Brock did to him the first fight until he made a rookie mistake and the second time was even worse. Anything can happen in MMA but I doubt Brock will lose his next fight.

So will many others dw

  I’m mainly hoping he faces different top level competition other than Mir but I think by what we know about Carwins game Mir should win. Like I said though I wouldn’t be shocked to see Carwin win as he has many unkowns that could turn out being good. Any wich way you put it the next couple years worth of fights are going to be exciting in the HW division. No fighter including Brock with the UFC’s HW talent level will have a near guarantee fight. The calibure at HW is great and there are even exciting matches outside the top five with Struve,Yvel, Kongo, Big Country and Duffee that come to mind.

by Puck Head on Feb 25, 2010 9:22 AM EST up reply actions  

true enough

Even though I’m not really a Cain/JDS fan I’m just glad there is starting to be more tests for HW because Brock was starting to look like every fight was gonna just be a one sided throttling. Not as fun after its consistent. Even if you are a Brock fan its nice to have a little bit of a rush from the slight worry he could lose.

Mir went over the line only since Brock was almost dying from his illness.
 I think Mir thinks enough time has gone by to talk trash now.
since brock is training again.
 Lesnar said he was gonna kill MIR before.
 I like the trash talk, and liked when bj penn threatened GSP, but couldnt uphold the threat in the cage that time, maybe next time.

Carwin has a lot to prove this time, and he is already predicting winning and unifying the belts. Put you fist where Mirs mouth is and prove it.

by fedor spiderush st.gracie on Feb 25, 2010 8:55 AM EST reply actions  

He may

 Really Carwin has shown little weakness besides slow head movement. I understand the best fighter he has fought is GG but regardless has shown little weakness. There is questions and or concerns regarding areas of his game but no fact on how good or bad he will be just speculation. Carwin is kind of exciting that way as he is a unknown in many areas. I can’t wait for this fight.
