After a year absence from MMA due to back surgery, Shane Carwin
announced, that he is ready to return this fall. With the lack of any real
competition for the top two in the Heavyweight division, I would not be
surprised to find Shane fast tracked back to the title despite dropping his
last two fights and being inactive since last summer. With JDS/Cain expected by
the end of 2012 I could see Carwin/Werdum or possibly Carwin/Cormier (depending on when he is officially brought to the organization) going down around the same
time to set up the next title fight sometime in spring of 2013. Of the course
the UFC could think Shane is still two fights out from a title fight in which
case Nelson or Bigfoot would make great candidates, or even the winner of Big
Nog/Kongo. Whichever way his future unfolds, it’s great to have Shane back.
