Shane Carwin plans on once again becoming a more aggressive fighter when he returns to the octagon
Former UFC interim heavyweight champion, Shane Carwin has revealed he will be trying to once again be a more aggressive fighter when he returns to the octagon for his next fight, a move he hopes will help snap a two-fight skid which has seen him slip out of title contention.
Speaking via MMAMania.com, Carwin said:
“Maybe at the end of the year, maybe the beginning of next year, we’ll see what the UFC has lined up for me. I’m not in camp right now, but I’m working on the things I need to be working on to stay competitive. It’s really up to the UFC, I’m taking it fight-by-fight. The division is full of talent and now we have the guys from Strikeforce coming over. Josh Barnett is a top heavyweight, you know there’s actually a bunch of top heavyweights over there, just look at Daniel Cormier. Overall I think I’ve just got to go back to being a little more aggressive as a fighter. As long as I stay passionate about who as I am a fighter, as long as I still love it, then things will be fine.”
Carwin has now suffered back-to-back losses for the first time in his career, losing out to then champion, Brock Lesnar via second round submission and almost twelve months later Dos Santos via unanimous decision. Stay tuned to MMABay for more news on when and where he’ll return to the octagon as we get it.
