Title: Shane Carwin vs. Cain Velasquez at UFC 104
Post by: SinCitysmallGUY on July 01, 2009, 05:43:31 PM
According to Shane Carwin's last 2 twitter messages:

Looks like I'll be fighting October 24 in LA. Excited to know.

Oops I was not supposed to say anything. Got to get used to people watching me. No bout agreement yet. Looks like Cain and I if all goes.

Obviously, this is an extremely interesting matchup, and the winner could very well get a title shot.  I'm sort of surprised they're matching them up this quickly, but at least no one can say the UFC is babying their up-and-coming heavyweights.  My initial thoughts are that if Cain Velasquez (5-0) got dropped by Kongo, he's going to have massive trouble with Shane Carwin's (11-0) power.

I agree. What the fuck was Kongo thinking by not staying outside the whole fight? He was lighting Cain up.

love to see the winner get a shot at whoever ends up with the title, but the time line for a matchup is kind of off unless someone takes the fight on relatively short notice or a longer than usual layoff..
