Shane Carwin was forced to pull out of this weekend's UFC fan festivities, but as of now, is not expected to miss his fight against Roy Nelson at the TUF 16 live finale on Dec. 15 in Las Vegas.

Shane Carwin recently suffered a knee injury during wrestling practice and was forced to withdraw from his autograph signing across the pond during this weekend's UFC on FUEL TV 5 event in Nottingham, England.

Not a good sign for a guy coming off a long layoff.

Shane's probably still trying to go through with it because he's been out so long, guy's probably itching to fight after being out for a year.

Nelson's got good odds here so I might cash in on this.

Yeah Shane is 37 and will be 38 less then a month after his fight with Nelson. Combine that with his cardio issues in the past and his long layoff, Nelson chances just get better and better. I'm hoping he doesn't hobble into that fight just for the paycheck. Hopefully he is healthy and in shape.

Holy crap I knew Carwin was getting up there but I didn't realize he was close to 38.

Yeah he was 35ish when he fought Lesnar. Hasn't fought in about 15 months or so now.

Horrible luck with injuries.

Big dude, puts alot of strain on the body. Especially when it has to carry around a Tito sized head.
