Both guys want a shot at Brock Lesnar, but with the champion still sidelined indefinitely, Frank Mir and Shane Carwin are open to the idea of facing off, possibly for a future shot at Lesnar, or maybe an Interim Heavyweight Championship.
Frank Mir says that while he still desperately wants a shot at Lesnar, Shane Carwin would be a good substitute:
"I couldn’t argue against that. Carwin is a phenomenal match-up, and I think if I can’t fight Brock again to show that I’ve made improvements against that style, I think Shane Carwin is a more than an ample substitution. If anything, I think he’s a better version."
Shane Carwin blogged about his willingness to face off against a "legend" in Mir:
"A win like Frank had last night surely propels him to share the top of the division with Nog, Cain and myself. If beating Kongo was enough to propel Cain to number two contender status, destroying Kongo might edge Cain out. What is more compelling is that Mir made it our of that fight injury free so not only is he at the top of the division he is likely ready to fight sooner then later.
The main question I am getting is would I fight Frank? The answer is easy YES. I am not a fighter who decides who he fights, I fight who I am told to fight. I like it that way, I am not trying to build a legacy I am trying to fight the best fighters in the World and determine where I fit in. Mir is a Multiple time Champion, who has been counted out more then Mike Tyson to only find himself right back at the top. He is a LEGEND of the sport and I would be honored to fight him."
