MMA Top 10 Heavyweights: Shane Carwin Showed He Belongs at UFC 96

Published by naturalbbevents at 9:16 am under MMA/Ultmate Fighting Edit This

When Shane Carwin was 10-0 with 10 first-round stoppages, it was easy to dismiss his record as having been built up against tomato cans.

But now that he’s 11-0 with 11 first-round stoppages, the most recent of which being the knockout of Gabriel Gonzaga on Saturday night at UFC 96, it’s impossible to ignore just how impressive a fighter Carwin is. So for the first time, Carwin has made my list of the Top 10 heavyweights in MMA.

The full Top 10, revised to reflect the results of UFC 96, is below.

1. Fedor Emelianenko
2. Frank Mir
3. Andrei Arlovski
4. Josh Barnett
5. Brock Lesnar
6. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
7. Randy Couture
8. Shane Carwin
9. Alistair Overeem
10. Cheick Kongo
