Agree with the above, i'm pretty sure that Schaub will be getting the winner of Mir v Nelson.
I'm not really sure what the plan is with Carwin, possibly Mitrione or Rothwell. They might even give him the loser of Mir/Nelson.
I highly doubt there will be any great efforts to make Carwin v Schaub. They both come from Jacksons and there is enough upheaval over there at the minute without making a match that isnt really necessary. By all accounts Shane and Schaub actually are good friends aswell.
It'd be a very interesting fight. I wouldn't be surprised to see Schaub take this fight, he improves in leaps and bounds between fights, and he is light years faster than Carwin. Wouldn't be surprised to see him eek out a UD via staying away from that right hand and using his speed to steer clear of the TD.
With this in mind I would have to say carwin vs rothwl and mitrione vs schaub. Mitrione and schaub are still relatively new fighters and are tuf alums that wouldn't be a bad match up and carwin would destroy them both. Big Ben won't have much more luck but it would be a better match up. The ufc probably wants to protect their tuf alums and wouldn't gain anything from having carwin destroying them in the first round.
Btw I hope that Carwin is using his time to get more muscle endurance. I think lot of people sleeps on him.
He is crazy strong, true KO power, very solid wrestling base. He could give Cain a good fight if he has some serious cardio.... You read it here first (just kidding)
Yeah, I don't see Schaub beating Carwin at all. If ROY NELSOn could knock out Schaub then Carwin could do it in half the time, and not look like a bag of a$$ while doing it.
