Reports: Lesnar to defend UFC title vs. Carwin
After his finger-gesturing, curse-laden celebration at UFC 100 last month, Brock Lesnar has gotten a new opponent for his heavyweight title.
Lesnar, who became the undisputed champ after beating Frank Mir, will face Shane Carwin at UFC 106 in November, according to multiple reports. Carwin is 11-0 with all of his fights ending in stoppages. He knocked out Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 96 in March.
The challenger has critcized Lesnar (4-1) repeatedly for his antics at the landmark UFC 100 and now gets his wish to shut the former World Wrestling Entertainment star up.
That'll be easier said than done as Lesnar might be the most physically imposing champion in UFC history. Though both men weigh in at about 265 pounds and stand 6-foot-3, Lesnar often fights at 280 pounds or more.
