Quoteworthy:
"This week has been a whirlwind I have found myself on TV shows I normally watch, endorsing products I usually drink, and being treated like a super star. The entire casino and strip is loaded with ads for UFC 116 it is amazing. The hotel room is larger then my first couple of homes and they even have poker tables with Brock and me on them. There is no doubt in my mind I a living the American Dream. Tonight it is not about winning a belt or being ranked number one in the Heavy Weight Division. Tonight is about two super talented big guys who have put a life time of work into being the very best they can be. Tonight all the hard work and sacrifices comes down to 25 minutes of war. I am honored that Lesnar would give me the chance. It takes a real man to face the very best after a long lay off. Brock doesn't seem to take any short cuts and I expect to see the very best Brock Lesnar ever tonight. He is a tough fight for anyone and holds the one thing that all of us fighters in the division are hunting for, the UFC strap."
"And here we are ..." Just hours away from his UFC 116 main event pay-per-view fight against division champion Brock Lesnar, Interim title holder Shane Carwin reflects on the path to his July 3 date with destiny. Can he reach the pinnacle of his sport with a win tonight? Or will Lesnar deny him the right to be called the world's best heavyweight? Read his entire entry here.

Give a man to fish and feed him for a day. Kick his stupid ass and maybe he will leave you alone.

How can you not love this guy…. He is tough as hell, humble, & acts like a champion should…
Really hope Carwin knocks him out COLD.
Lesnar needs it to knock some humbleness into him.

brilliantly said shane. although i am a lesnar fan i wouldnt be as disapointed if shane beats him because this guy is just an amazing character and all he put into this he deserves a happy ending. it doesnt matter which guy wins they are both great fighters and both are in my top 5 favourite fighters. so i dont care just cant wait till it happens lol only a few hours to go now
Ï like guys with authority.
Lesnar is just a little too soft for me right now, Shane hits too finish and he has “max authority” Brock does not, he’s a hw GSP that likes to take guys down and just stay in position.
JAAAAH !! DEUTSHLAND !!!!
I think Mir and Couture might disagree with that, but whatever.
Our lives change like the weather, but a legend never dies.
sure, but he's also become more patient.
which is a good thing for Brock but i can’t wait til he gets better technique so he can really put guys away.
My predictions for the fight.
Brock will overpower shane and control him in the first round probably holding him down the whole time. In the second round Shane will realize he cant outwrestling Brock and swing for the fence. I got Shane by Second round KO.
I like his delivery on his quotes....
Man’s got some class, he’ll be a good new champ after tonight. I like how he said 25 minutes of war, I give it about 4 minutes. haha
Bang the virgins, and defeat the Cults...
Fedor Should Take Notice
This is what a real man, and a real fighter sounds like!
Give a man to fish and feed him for a day. Kick his stupid ass and maybe he will leave you alone.
Kick his butt tonight Shane!!!!
Shane is not only a great fighter but a class act too. Hope you kick his *ss tonight Shane!!!
