Shane Carwin’s return to the cage seems to be getting closer and closer.
On Sunday, the former interim UFC heavyweight champion revealed on Twitter that he recently accepted a fight against mixed martial arts legend Fedor Emelianenko. No further details were given.
This followed a tweet of his that contained a photo of a Rizin FF glove, hinting that Carwin perhaps signed with the Japanese-based organization.
To avoid further confusion, Carwin later added that, although he agreed to fight Emelianenko, the former PRIDE champion will likely never compete again. Therefore, despite Carwin’s earlier comments, a fight between Carwin and Emelianenko seems unlikely to ever occur, never mind just being far from a done deal.
