Shane Carwin Issues Worrying Reasoning Behind His Need For The UFC Settlement To Be Approved
Shane Carwin fought just six times inside the Octagon and retired early on in his career due to several serious injuries.
He is the former interim heavyweight champion, stopping Frank Mir before going on to face Brock Lesnar at UFC 116.
Carwin notes in his declaration that the proposed settlement of $375 million is an âexcellent resultâ, stating that he fought once under the UFC banner in the specific timeframe.
His reasoning for wanting this settlement to be agreed upon is due to several key issues in his life that could be solved by this payment that he would recieve.
The following statements from Carwin himself are disappointing and upsetting to read for long time fans who remember him at his peak.
âWhile fighting for the UFC, I suffered many significant injuries, including concussions. I fear that during my career I have suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI) and am noticing symptoms common with TBI and CTE including addiction, depression, mood swings, and irritability.â
Carwin goes on to say that he has had tests done at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health and Concussion Legacy Foundation at Boston University among others that point to damage to his pre-frontal cortex and left hemisphere.
He also points out several other health issues including paranoia, fear and anxiety which has been so severe that he was bed bound.
On top of his health conditions, he says that his time as a fighter has also impacted his ability to work outside of the sport so that he can support himself.
âDespite having a degree in engineering from the Colorado School of Mines, I have been unable to maintain adequate focus to hold down an engineering job. I face serious challenges in meeting basic everyday expenses for food, shelter, and transportation and in basic life skills necessary to function.â
Carwin is saying all of this because he doesnât want the lawsuit to continue if thereâs a feeling that the settlement payment could increase.
He makes it very clear that this result would be a great one and that he cannot afford to wait for this income if the case continues rather than the settlement being agreed upon.
âThis would truly be life-changing money for me and for other members of the class. These funds would also allow me to obtain the healthcare I need and keep a roof over my head and food on my table. The sad reality is that finds years from now may be of no use to me. I desperately need these funds now.â
One of Carwinâs final statement clarifies his stance once again.
âFor me, a significant recovery in the near future is much more appealing than the possibility of a large recovery several years from now, especially in light of the possibility that there would be no recovery at all if this settlement were not approved. In my situation, a bird in the hand truly does beat two (or three, or even nine) in the bush.â
Roids
he has no ko or tko losses in the ufc
Concussions made him terminally impatient apparently
Isnât he an engineer?
Which is surprising because I remember Lesnar beating his face in with dozens of unanswered punches.
Yeah i had to check his record. Ida sworn that was a tko, but heman got him with an arm triangle
hmmmm not sure now
Yeah I remember now that you say that.
And? How do we know what happened in training? And repetitive subconcussive blows can cause the same damage to the brain as single blows that cause a KO. Lesnar and JDS also happened to beat his head to a pulp
Yes, he is a petroleum engineer. He maintained his job even during the height of his career.
The fucker was talking about training with Jon jones a couple months ago
A grifting we will go
He is. Or at least was. I work with an engineer who worked with Shane back before and during his UFC days.
Addict
lesnar hardly threw a shot
it was a sidechoke
he was knocked down pretty good vs jds, and went to decision
