Who Moved The Furniture?

Somehow this site got blocked at my job and this is the first time checking it since you guys got all fancy on us. The UG is growing up right in front of our eyes. Kirik and Chris should be proud dads.

As most of you know my wife and I had our baby girl on the 24th. Lani was due the 11th and was induced on the 22nd and had a long labor. Alexia Carwin (Lexi) was born at 0024 on the 24th.

I was back training on the 25th. With the Versus show being on Sunday Coach Wittman and his team decided we need to train on Sunday to get Brendan and Eliot's mind and bodies right for fighting on Sunday.

They have also upped the training pace, which is expected when team mates loose (everyone looks to hold some responsibility), so we have been going extremely hard. Yesterday I meet some fans that were in the training center and acted like I had never meet them. yet they both bought tickets to my UFC 104 fight and came to LA based on me being there for a signing. I spent 10 minutes with them in LA, they sent me a cell phone because mine was circa 1982 and I big timed them yesterday saying "I don't remember meeting you". Yikes, I can't be sparring without headgear anymore.

My boss actually got on me this week for looking half dead at work and not being on it. With the new baby, training and working I am really under a ton of pressure. This is the biggest fight of my life, the longest training camp of my life and I am trying to be a good father and husband to my wife.

You know they say you are never given more then you could carry in life. I can say I have had days where I question that theory.

This fight with Frank is my career balled up into 25 minutes. If I beat Frank I answer questions about who I am and what I can do in this sport. If I don't I am just another heavyweight in a sea of great fighters. I know when I wake up in the morning and I can barely walk out the door to start my morning run that I am giving it 100% of my effort.

That is all you can control in life, giving 100%. I train and live like each fight may be my last and to move ahead I have to make a statement.

Thank you to the supporters and fans that will tune in to watch this fight. Win or Loose I guarantee you I will be ready for a war. I have trained harder then I have before, I have sacrificed my mind and body for this opportunity and honestly I can't wait to release this built up pressure and aggression on Frank.

Thanks for the support UG!

Congratulations and good luck.

Great post Shane, and congratulations on the baby!

 Good luck, Shane.

 Awesome post, Shane.  Congrats on your baby girl and good luck in the fight!!

 This sucks so bad.  Shane seems like a really nice guy, BUT if he beats Mur then i will be robbed of seeing Brock give him beating 2.0 for the strawberry incident.  Ive really gotta do some soul searching over the next few weeks.

 

 Congrats on the baby Shane! Good luck on your next fight!



Just a quick question, with all the newly found fame, why are you still working a day job?

congrats and good luck with your career

Best of luck!

Soul searching shoul have begun with the name "pink singlet"

I bet you won a lot of wrestling matches by forfeit :)

Congrats and good luck!

 Congrats on the new baby and good luck against Mir!

 Hey Shane,



Why are you still working a day job? Just curious

Congrats!

Much as I want to se Mir/Lesnar 3, I'd be just fine with it being next year after you win the title....

1) Congrats on the youngster.

2) I hope you introduce Mir's face to the back of his head.

3) What the fucking fuck are you still doing with a "job"?



I love my job. I was raised my a single mom who worked her ass off to provide for my brothers and I. She said "Being a man is about taking care of the important things in life, provide for your family, then sports". So I have and will always be a guy who works.

That being said it is not a 9-5 punch the clock type of job. My boss is usually very flexible as long as I get my work done.

I train 4-6 hours a day 6 days a week.

 TTT for Big Shane

 Wow, Shane. You the only guy in the UFC that still has his old job?

Congrats Shane! All the best!

Congrats on the baby. My son was born on the 18th. Maybe his path with cross her path at some point in the future.

Congrats Shane. Thanks for posting on this forum!

Please put Mir away quickly. We can't wait to see you fight.
