Ben Rothwell is guy that would give him the best fight. Mittrione and Kongo are stand up guys and Carwin would KTFO both of them. Rothwell has the best chance at avoiding the big shot and making a fight out of it. I'd still take Carwin, but Rothwell would be a good fight for him.

big Ben would be out cold in the first 2 minutes.
@Majik, poor Nog would get KTFO nowadays, if it were the Nog of 3+ years ago, it would be an awesome fight!

He should fight MeatHead! Would love to see that one.

Shane Carwin vs Ben Rothwell
Cheick Kongo vs Matt Mitrione
Simples.

as much as I like Carwin there is honestly no one in the UFC I'd like to see him fight now maybe big country but hes booked so wtf mate
Nog is probably the best IMO but even that fight I'm not to geeked over

Carwin should fight Kimbo

it'd be his best shot at a win. At least he would have better cardio than his opponent

are you serious? this is a complete troll job if ever there was one!

I just really dislike Kimbo and want to see his eyes roll into the back of his head.

Anyone think it might be the winner/loser of Crocop/Schaub? Shane seems to think his opponent might be somebody that is about to fight. He already said he would fight a team mate. If you listened to Schaub's interview on junkie radio he never said he would not fight Shane but would cross that bridge if/when he got to it.

I did a breakdown not too long ago, assuming the worst, and I think the only person left for him to fight was Kongo.

I'd like to say he gets the winner of Crocop/Schuab but I'm not sure if he would entertain a fight with his friend/training partner.
I think they'll give him Kongo, and have Mitrione fight the loser of this fight since both would be a step-up for Meathead. As for Rothwell, maybe that new guy they signed from Golden Glory will get a crack at him.

Honestly the "partner fighting partner" stuff has prevented me from thinking of a Schaub/Carwin match but I'd definitely like to see that over anything else and at their level & UFC's HW roster depth, there shouldn't be any great reason to not do it.

i was hoping to see a lesnar rematch but i guess jinior gets top pummel him next.
if brock hasn't quit after dos santor beats the crap out of him, maybe carwin can have another turn?
carwin/lesnar really interests me.

The problem is that Carwin is getting older and he's spending a lot of time on the shelf. He needs to get more active because he will be 40 before you know it.

I hope someone he gets a fight with CC and puts him to sleep.
The end of a legend ( even thought he has been done for years)

Truth is none of those fights interest me. Carwin is a top 5 HW. Putting him up against Kongo or Rothwell would be a joke.
But if I had to chose, I'd go Big Country (the best of the bunch with a great chin).

Maybe, but all the top heavyweights are taken, or injured.
Brock/Dos Santos-Ultimate Fighter
Cain-Injured
Mir/Nelson-130
Big Nog will fight at UFC Brazil 2

Elite or not, whatever. Toney, Kongo, Barry, Mitrione would all be an easy first round win for Carwin. The only man outside of the title-3 that can challange carwin is Nelson but he is fighitng Mir. Which is a good fight but it leaves Carwin without anyone or a fight with someone he will finish in 1 minute.
