They are either give a huge push like Lesnar or a small but constant push to the top. I know Dana White mentioned that only the top folks fight in the UFC, but how is it that Shane Carwin has been fighting tomato cans whereas Brock Lesnar with only 3 fights is fighting former champs.</p><p>Here is thinking that UFC is preparing a major push for Shane Carwin. The plan is to pit Carwin against the heavyweight champion of the world next winter, and I know White is crossing his fingers for Brock Lesnar. Dana White is a very smart man, and he knows Brock Lesnar is not the type who sticks around and sacrifices himself for the company. The guy is his own man, and he has my respect for it. But the UFC needs the next Fedor. A guy who is going to be the face of the UFC and stick around for a few years. In other words, they need the next Chuck. I am just not sure Shane is that guy. He has been fighting tomato cans for all his career, and his record could be 30-0 by the time he actually gets a shot at the title (the way it looks). Is Shane good? There is really no way to tell.  So forgive me if I don&#8217;t agree with folks who give Shane the nod over Lesnar at this point. Brock has shown more in 3 fights than Shane has in his entire career.</p><p>You decide: Can Shane be a real player in the MMA world by fighting only tomato cans?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.mmasamurai.com/is-ufc-preparing-carwin-to-take-over-for-lesnar/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
