Raj Giri: You recently stated that Lesnar was a "draw", while you're a "fighter". How do you feel about Lesnar, the fighter? What do you feel are his strengths and weaknesses?

Shane Carwin: Brock is a talented athlete, which makes him dangerous. I think he has a lot of size and power to go along with the size. That being said, he is also very fast. He is exactly what the future of the UFC heavyweight division will be all about. Guys that are elite athletes, have a ton of size and have to cut down to make weight, and can perform at the highest level. If he has one weakness, it is that he doesn't respect the sport or his opponents.

Raj Giri: Many people have compared you to Lesnar. What do you feel are the major similarities and differences between you two? Do you consider yourself more well-rounded as a mixed martial artist than Lesnar?

Shane Carwin: I have more experience than Brock, I am sure he will admit that. Like I said, he is the type of heavyweight that will make up the UFC over the next few years. Guys like Todd Duffee, Brendan Schaub, Dos Santos and more are all elite athletes with a ton of size and power.

Raj Giri: You've never had a fight go past the first round. As a matter of fact, the longest fight you've ever had has been 2:11. How confident are you that you'd be able to last five five-minute rounds if you need to?

Shane Carwin: I did five rounders all the time for title fights at Grudge. We expect a war, and prepare for a war. I have yet to really settle in and warm up in a fight. I would love the opportunity to go longer and really test the training, but I just have not faced anyone that shares that plan.
