This week I was lucky enough to get a hold of UFC heavyweight stand-out Shane Carwin, who has steamrolled his last three UFC opponents—including former #1 contender Gabriel Gonzaga—in less than a single round combined. Shane voiced his opinions on the evolution of heavyweights in the sport, the quality of his training, and why he feels Fedor Emelianenko isn't the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world anymore.

It was reported yesterday by MMAMania that the match-up between Dong Hyun "Stun Gun" Kim and Jonathan Goulet set for UFC 100, had fallen through due to an injury sustained by the French-Canadian during his preparation for the bout. With less than a month until the event and few welterweights that weren't tied up with match-ups of their own, it appeared as though fans would be losing the opportunity to see "Stun Gun" in action.
