Quote :

Former UFC interim heavyweight champ Shane Carwin (12-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) meets promotional newcomer and grappling specialist Jon Olav Einemo (6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at UFC 132.

UFC president Dana White today confirmed the booking during an online chat with "The Seattle Times."

UFC 132 takes place July 2 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, and the night's main card airs on pay-per-view.

Carwin vs. Einemo is expected to be part of the PPV broadcast.

Carwin hasn't fought since UFC 116 in July 2010, when he suffered a second-round submission loss to then-champ Brock Lesnar. Carwin dominated the first round of the fight but admittedly slowed in the second, which gave Lesnar the opening he needed for the comeback win. Prior to the loss, Carwin, who recently pulled out of a UFC 125 booking to undergo back surgery, had posted a perfect 12-0 record with 12 first-round stoppages. The UFC victories came over Christian Wellisch, Neil Wain, Gabriel Gonzaga and Frank Mir.

Einemo, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, is a 35-year-old Norwegian who won the 2003 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship. He's fought in Shooto and PRIDE and owns six first-round stoppage victories (five via submission) in six career victories. His only loss came via decision to Fabricio Werdum at PRIDE 31.

Einemo hasn't fought professionally in four-and-a-half years.

Really weird, he isn't exactly a Herschel Walker scrub, but this is surprising. He has not fought in 5 years.

He is also a Black Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, with the highlight of his career being the win in the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship in 2003 (88–98 kg weight class). He is the only man to defeat multiple-time BJJ champion Roger Gracie in the Abu Dhabi Combat Club tournament.

every big name opponent is booked, and i doubt they wanna put meathead or schaub in against Carwin

Him and Sergey Kharitonov's have been sparring and grappling partners this year in preparation for the grand Prix and Jon's UFC debut.

thats nice and dandy but when you have carwin throwing punches at you its a different story

I actually thought Kongo would be guy Carwin was fighting but this guy probably last longer than Chiek ever could lol.

Sounds like a pretty good fighter afterall.

Welcome to the long road back, Shane.

Not been feeling Joe's match making lately.

I mean Einemo is actually a solid fighter, and could possibly endup subbin Carwin here, but throwing one of you're top HWs a newcomer who hasn't fought in years..could have been better. And Einemo probably didn't need to come into the UFC and fight a beast like Carwin first, maybe give him a Rothwell or something.

Carwin by brutal KO/TKO 1st rd.

Well at least my boy is finally getting back in the octagon.

I think Carwin gets sub'd.

Some interesting info in this article, have to go watch a few of this dudes fights, but may lay some money down on him if the odds are right.

Read that article too, and never completely wrote off Einemo in this fight, easy could sub Carwin here, but everything changes when Carwin's fist touches you.

I just liked the fact that he is training with some big dudes and how if he can manage not to get hit by those big fists, and take it in to the second and third round he has the skills to win the fight, can he we'll find out I don't like layoffs, and 5 years is one hell of a layoff to go up against a former Championship contender.
