Shane Carwin’s camp in talks with Fedor Emelianenko over possibly training together

Former UFC interim heavyweight champion, Shane Carwin has revealed that his camp is currently in talks with formerly ranked number one fighter in the world, Fedor Emelianenko over possibly training together down the line, adding it would be an honour to train with the Russian legend.
Speaking via The Fight Fix, Carwin said:

“There has been a little contact between our agents and stuff. I was the one that opened up the invitation first, because it would be an honour to train with a legend like Fedor. I think the world of him – he is a family man and a man of god, he has great values and beyond that he is just a great fighter. Hopefully we can get it done.”

On his own comeback to the octagon, Carwin commented:

“I was originally slated to fight Roy Nelson on May 28th in Las Vegas, they kinda switched that up and moved me to [the] Vancouver [card]. I don’t have an opponent yet – that I know of; they (the UFC) probably know, but I don’t!

“I want one of the top guys so I can get back to a title shot. I’d like to get a shot at Cain [Velasquez, champion] and then Brock [Lesnar, ex-champion] can come in and challenge me.”

Carwin looks set to return to action when the promotion visits Vancouver, Canada for a second time this coming June, although his opponent as yet is currently unknown. Stay tuned to MMABay for more build-up to the man mountains return to action as we get it.
