Shane Carwin Calls Brock Lesnar a Liar

In a recent interview with GroundNPound, Brock Lesnar was quoted saying: 
I do not see them (Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez) as threats to me. I like to keep a mindset like that. They are both great wrestlers. Shane Carwin and I actually met the day before UFC 96. He is a great guy - we actually had our punch forces tested too.We were told to throw the hardest right cross we could on a punching bag. I was able to rack up 1350 pounds per square inch. He did a little over 1200, making my punch harder.
Shane Carwin talked to Fiveouncesofpain.com and he denied ever doing a "punching contest" with Lesnar:
"The guy is a freaking liar. We never meet at UFC 96, I was getting ready for a battle with Gonzaga not hanging out at Dave and Busters with Brock. I do not understand why guys like Brock claim to have tested against me. He has the belt, shouldn’t he be the standard?"
UPDATE - The interview was a fake. GroundNPound issued this statement:
First off, GNP would like to apologize to Brock Lesnar, his fans and all the site members.
June 23rd an interview was posted on the front page, somehow access was gained to the main administrator account and the person responsible posted the "fake" interview.
Im not sure if the interview was real and just copy/pasted from another source or if the interview was just made up by the person who gained access to the site. Either way, GNP, myself or any of the other admins on the site had anything to do with it.
Again, we are sorry that it happened and we are both looking into the actual cause and method used to gain access. rest assured we will take steps to prevent it from happening again as we find the holes in our security.

Shane Carwin also went on to deny a few more rumors, such as him helping Randy Couture train for Brock and a UFC 103 fight against Cain Velasquez:
Earlier reports had me training with Couture while he was training for Brock, again a total BS rumor. I have never trained with Randy Couture.
...
No I am not fighting on UFC 103. I have not heard from the UFC for some time now. I am without my training partners and coaches as they are on a "camping trip", and again, I have not heard anything about fighting anyone yet.

i dont know if this is exactly “Quote of the Day” worthy, but i think it is pretty interesting cause it adds fuel to a potential carwin vs lesnar matchup..
Indeed.

Wait, so Brock Lesnar is a jackass? Shocking!

Lesnar, Carwin
The set up for the biggest Heavyweight match, literally and perhaps figuratively, has begun.

eh
Carwin might actually win that fight, so I have a feeling it will be years before we see it.
In the meantime, Brock will have his hands full beating Couture, Nog, Coleman, Abbott, Shamrock… who else?
What does Brock need to do to make myth like him?

Being homophobic, racist, a douchebag (in my opinion) and now an alleged liar just isn’t enough. Crazy I know, but I still need more.
How bout as a fighter?
Does he have to beat murr and fedor for you to like him? Or will that be him still “picking on guys smaller than him?”
by Anton Tabuena on Jun 24, 2009 11:41 AM EDT up reply actions
I am seriously baffled by your comment… For the sake of rationality I have to believe that you wrote it without thinking it through.
If he beats Mir and Fedor, why would I suddenly forget what a homophobic, racist, douchbag (in my opinion) and alleged liar he is?
Is that how you see the world? “If only Saddam Hussein was a better fighter, people would have loved him.” Strange.
what?
i know you’ll never like him as a person.. But i was asking if there was a chance that you’d like him as a fighter..
I think nick diaz is a dick, but i like the way he fights so i root for him at times.. It’s not all that impossible to like a fighter even if you hate his personality you know… but i guess that comment also answers my question..
by Anton Tabuena on Jun 24, 2009 12:00 PM EDT up reply actions
I think Nick Diaz is a dick too, and he’s one of my favorite fighters.
When did i ever say that Brock couldn’t fight tho?
yeah..... Nick Diaz gets annoyin

Brock Lesnar doesn't know any better.
Lesnar only knows how to get attention outside of a sports performance by being a dick head and a heel. I trully believe the man loves to be hated because he doesn’t know any better. That being said, I believe that Lesnar is going to destroy Frank MIr. Carwin is the only currently active UFC HW that poses a serious threat to him. IMO.
"Stop smiling you are about to be punched in the face !"
I want Mir to beat Lesnar as well. The thing with Lesnar that will always be a factor is Lesnar’s size. One punch that doesn’t even land flush is capable of dropping an opponent, and he can also muscle fighters around the cage.

Wait, so who lied about him training with Couture? Shane is accusing multiple people of lying here, not jsut Brock..
by Derek Suboticki on Jun 24, 2009 1:10 PM EDT reply actions
I have no idea who to believe,
but I am kind of thinking along with you Subo. Exactly how many people are out there spreading these lies about Carwin? lol
Arguing on the internet is like being in the special olympics, even when you win you are still retarded.
I swear i recall Couture himself say that he brought Carwin in as a sparring partner, to try and replicate Brock’s power and size. Maybe i’m wrong though, but i swear i heard randy say that in a filmed interview.
i think i saw that in the countdown video too..
not sure if it’s randy though.. maybe it’s joe rogan who said that?
by Anton Tabuena on Jun 24, 2009 1:43 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah Joe Rogan said it, can't for the life of me remember when he said it though.
Could have been during his walkout for the Gonzaga fight..? Can’t be bothered checking though :-)

Apparently it was on "Inside MMA"
According to MMA Fanhouse:
http://mma.fanhouse.com/2008/09/20/randy-couture-prepares-for-brock-lesnar-with-shane-carwin-as-his/
The answer, it turns out, is that Couture is sparring with another enormous fighter who was a very good college wrestling: Shane Carwin, who was an NCAA Division II wrestling champion and is now 9-0 in his professional mixed martial arts career. On this week’s Inside MMA, it was reported that Carwin (who himself is preparing for a fight against Neil Wain at UFC 89) is serving as the sparring partner for Couture.
Due to Cheick Kongo's atrocious takedown defense....
Walla walla walla, I’m an idiot
I'm pretty sure
it was Josh Hendricks, who is also a very good collegiate wrestler

How legit is GroundNpound? Could it be they put up a fake interview? I stick to the Elbow & Junkie mainly, so I honestly don’t know much about them.
That’s a strange thing to lie about, and I can’t think of any reasons why Brock’s mind would fabricate a story like that. If it is true, well that’s some weird shit.
Also, all this I’m hearing about Brock’s homophobia rubs me the wrong way. (ooh, pun? unintentional) But where’s the racist acussation’s coming from? The “built like a brother” comment? I would think that was him being complimentary, but maybe I’m seeing it wrong or missing something?

Yeah, i’m noticing that. :)
I thought Brock was going to be a good representative of the sport, but there’s nothing wrong with him being the villain I guess. Is there any more to the racist accusations besides the Maxim comment?

Weird I know. Normally I love homophobic racists who act like spoiled, entitled jerks (in my opinion).
I guess my question is — why does it bother you so much who I like or don’t like?
Myth, if that comment is aimed at me, I think you misunderstood me. I wasn’t calling you out on your opinion. On the contrary, I agree with your line of thought, I was just wondering if anyone knows of any other racist comments Brock has made.
I dislike racists, homophobes and douchebags too, I just wouldn’t say that he’s racist based on the Maxim article.

It doesn't bother me at all.
I was merely mentioning it. :)
If anything, I find it amusing.. I dislike some fighters also, but not as passionately as you. I think I’d actually enjoy watching a UFC PPV with you. Haha.
by Anton Tabuena on Jun 25, 2009 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions
Actually
I don’t passionately anything him. There just seems to be a few people on this site who make it their goal to jump all over anyone who doesn’t pretend that Brock is an MMA god.
Please notice, as an example, that you have twice in this thread diverted the subject to my like/dislike of Lesnar, rather than the actual topic.
It’s hard for the rest of us to believe that you don’t loathe the guy.

If you ask me I dont think Brock or Carwin said any of this., Or Brocks quotes were made up and then brought up to Carwin.
It sounds like it could be the latter.

Yeah, I think he realized that when he beat Heath Herring and Randy Couture.
Of course, being a heel travels with you – he’s selling fights the best way he knows how. He doesn’t care if you like him or not – just that you watch.

You know why Shane wasn't invited on the camping trip?
He was the only guy in his gym to answer the following question with a yes:
“If you went camping, and you woke up, and you couldn’t remember anything, and your butt was really sore, would you tell anyone?”
