Shane Carwin has agreed to face Frank Mir in an interim heavyweight title bout at UFC 111 on March 27 in Newark, N.J.

AOL Fanhouse’s Mike Chiappetta was the first to report the matchup, which Sherdog.com also confirmed through sources close to the proposed bout.

Sherdog.com has been unable to confirm if Mir has accepted or declined the offer yet.

Mir wants the rubber match so bad it shouldn't even have to be confirmed. I see it[Mir/Carwin] vs [Nog/Velasquez], Mir.


Here's a picture I took at 107. Don't think I'll go again. I had pretty good seat for not being on the floor but I still ended up watching the big screen most of the time. It was like watching a fight on PPV with 16,000 of your friends just with more TapOut shirts and hats.


Also, in Rnd. 2 of the Penn/Sanchez fight, I came close to getting th crowd to switch from chanting B-J to San-chez.

i guess right outside these 4. has to be the scariest of the bunch. He would've probably taken Gonzaga's heart if that fight would've happened.

$150


I'd say it's worth it if they have an event in New Orleans or if you're in Vegas. Memphis was boring as frick. The only fighter out the night before that we saw was Burkman.


Was the booing as bad on tv as it was in the arena? They booed everything.

Did you scream "You're my warrior!" and ask to touch his soul patch?

I think 108 could have potential, 109 looks just awful

Coleman-Couture main event? WTF

ETA: the spring is shaping up to have some great cards

I wouldn't go that far. I think Brown Pride is a bigger douche than Mir is though.
