Fight Recap

Shane Carwin went longer than he ever had in an MMA bout, but he still didn’t need a second round to win the UFC interim heavyweight title.

With champion Brock Lesnar seated at ringside, Carwin stopped former champion Frank Mir at 3:48 of the first round with a series of punishing lefts and then a bit of ground-and-pound. Referee Dan Miragliotta gave Mir an opportunity to escape as Carwin was pounding on him, but Mir had no way out and Carwin took the huge victory.

Little of significance had occurred until Carwin caught Mir with a left uppercut along the cage. Carwin rocked Mir several more times before Mir hit the canvas.

Carwin, who works full time as an engineer, followed him quickly. He was raining punches down on Mir when Miragliotta stopped it. Mir was so disoriented from the onslaught that after he around, he attempted to defend himself from the doctors and attendants who were checking on him.

Lesnar called the interim championship “a fake belt,” but said Carwin “has some legitimacy to him now” with wins over Mir and Gabriel Gonzaga. Lesnar said he’d be available to fight Carwin for the title in July.
