Biography

Carwin and his two brothers were raised by his single mother, who had the goal of getting all her sons college educations. He received a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines as well as a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Technology from Western State College.

Carwin wrestled in college, becoming a two-time NCAA Division II Wrestling National Runner-Up Heavyweight in 1996-7 and the NCAA II Wrestling Heavyweight National Champion in 1999. He was also a two-time All-American in football for Western State.

Carwin became an engineer out of college and continues to work in that field while pursuing his MMA career. Carwin is also a volunteer wrestling coach for the University of Northern Colorado.

Carwin holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Nate Marquardt.

Mixed martial arts career

Carwin won his first eight fights by first round stoppage and became the Ring of Fire heavyweight champion before signing with the UFC. Carwin has been undefeated since then. He trains with Jackson’s Submission Fighting & Grudge Fight Team. Shane is based out of Denver, Colorado and trains at the Grudge Training Center with Top MMA coach Trevor Wittman. Carwin is one of two heavyweights in the UFC to wear the 4XL gloves, the other being Brock Lesnar although Shane’s gloves need to be cut at the seams to make his hands fit.

UFC career

Carwin made his UFC debut on the undercard of UFC 84 against Christian Wellisch. He won the match by KO in 44 seconds in the first round. Carwin followed up with an appearance in Birmingham, England at UFC 89 against Neil Wain, winning by TKO in 1:31 of the first round.

At UFC 96, Carwin took a major step up in competition when he faced former number one contender and renowned Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ace Gabriel Gonzaga. Carwin scored a knockout via a straight right hand after 69 seconds of the first round.

Carwin was then set to face Cain Velasquez at UFC 104, with the winner getting a title shot against Brock Lesnar. However, the UFC reconsidered the bout and Carwin was confirmed to fight for the title at UFC 106 on November 21, 2009. The fight was later postponed after Lesnar pulled out due to illness, with UFC 108 a likely date. Lesnar then pulled out of that fight on October 26, and Dana White reported at the UFC 105 post-fight press conference that Lesnar was too ill to compete.

With Lesnar expected to be out for the first half of 2010 while recovering from an intestinal disorder and subsequent surgery,

Carwin is scheduled to face Frank Mir for the UFC Interim Heavyweight Championship on March 27, 2010 at UFC 111. Carwin stated on his website that Mir “is a legend of the sport, and I would be honored to fight him.”

Personal life

Carwin has a wife named Lani and a son named Kamden from a previous marriage. The couple had a daughter named Lexi in February 2010.
