On the day before the celebration of American independence, the city of Las Vegas will shake with UFC-116. At the event, which takes place today at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, heavyweights Brock Lesnar e Shane carwin will finally unify the organization's heavyweight belt
Away from the Octagon since June last year, due to mononucleosis, Lesnar guarantees that he is prepared to keep the belt in the category.
“I’m looking forward to getting back into the Octagon and defending my heavyweight belt. I'm ready to fight. At UFC 116, Shane carwin will face the true heavyweight champion. I’m going to end Shane’s undefeated streak and leave the octagon with my title,” said Lesnar.
Carwin, who maintains an unbeaten record in his career of 12 fights, with 12 victories in the first round guarantees that he will knock out Brock in the opening round
“Brock is going to fall soon. He wants to end the fight in the first round, as always. But the preparation, obviously, is for a 25-minute ‘war’. We both have enough size and strength to end the fight with one blow. And that’s the fun part of it”, says Shane, in an exclusive interview with the blogger SUPER FIGHTS, Fernando Cappelli.
