Well said, Shane.
Always been a fan, but Central > West!
Very Classy Post.
TTT for Shane getting his title shot.
Carwin just made a lifetime fan.
Excellent Post...I've been a Carwin fan but I'm a bigger fan now...
Get well soon, Brock.
We should send him a UG post card.
Didn't need this thread to become a Shane fan but it didn't hurt. Good luck man.
Great post Shane. Whether or not you are a fan of Brock or his antics, it is sad that some seem to revel in the misfortunes of others to the point that they would make light of a seemingly serious illness.
very classy post Shane. Good luck with the rehab and congrats on the kid.
Allow me to add to the rising chorus of voices that say, "Well said, Shane!"
Sometimes we have to remember MMA is a sport, it's not life or death. There are other things more important, and too often it takes someone being sick or dying to remind us all of that.
Get well soon, Brock.
Shane Carwin - I am sure most of you know I am not the leader of the Lesnar Fan Club. That being said, antics or not, he is OUR UFC HWT Champion. He beat a future Hall of Famer to keep that belt and he NEEDS our prayers and good thoughts right now.
At the end of the day I can take off my UFC shirt and say here is a man, a Champion that has been brought down by an illness not another man. It is very humbling if you think about it.
Brock has a wife, kid, and friends that depend on him to make their lives better. You do not have to support Brock and his antics but you should have respect for the human side of what is happening here.
This is not a ploy to sell more tickets, he is the biggest draw this sport has ever had. This is not him ducking me or any other fighter. This is about a man who is fighting an illness for his career, family and friends.
Talk of stripping a man of his title due to illness will set this sport back farther then anything Brock has ever said. We need our Champions healthy and defending. I know the show will go on but to be a Champion you must beat a Champion.
My family and I send our thoughts and well wishes to Brock's family, friends and training partners. We are indeed keeping you in our thoughts.
If you sit around bashing Brock or making fun of this because of his antics you might be the very same thing you despise. As an MMA fan, as a human be concerned that one of OUR OWN has fallen and needs our support.
Get well soon UFC Heavyweight Champ Brock Lesnar.

That right there, is the true measure of a man folks.
TREMENDOUS respect Shane.
That was a great post Shane, you have the attitude of a true champion. Good luck with your career!
Classy post Shane, my thoughts and feelings as well. I may not be the biggest fan of Brock but anytime another warrior is taken down outside of the cage/ring and for reasons beyond their control (accident, illness etc.) they need/deserve the support of their fellow fighters and of the fans of the sport they love.
Always been a fan of yours, good luck when you finally get the shot. And good job calling out the clown that asked “if you were sorry for talking trash”. I rarely post here because the boards all full of classless, clueless, idiots. I’m an even bigger fan of yours now.
Yup, just became a Carwin fan. Very classy move in a difficult time.
BMJ420 - You are the man Shane.
Well said Shane, I very much agree with you.
great post im sure no fighter will enjoy the belt unless its won off the true champion and like it or not hes a beast and the true champion with out a dought
get well brock
Well said, Carwin.
Good post.
If one can truly tell a tree by its fruit, then you are a perfect ambassador for the sport, and will make an excellent champion, Shane. I believe this show of class, and professionalism will be reflected in kind by Mr. Lesnar if /when you two ever meet in the cage.
Makes me look forward to it all the more.
Cheers on becoming a father!
Get well Brock.
ttt. very humbling. Great post Shane! thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to come on talk with us. I really can't wait to see you fight again. Shane you have made me as a fan as well.
