Frank Mir’s opponent for UFC 111, Shane Carwin, mostly agrees with Frank in the fact that Brock Lesnar is a just a superhuman jerk, but even he thinks Mir went a little too far with his recent comments. Here’s what Carwin had to say about the whole issue.
Shane Carwin Adds His Two Cents About Frank Mir’s Comments

↵"I did not see the interview so I can't comment on what he might have said. I can tell you that any athlete wishing death upon a competitor is either a terrible human being or mentally unfit to fight. That type of talk and if it ever happened will take this sport backwards. Frank has been a part of the stone ages of MMA and it makes no sense why he would want or make comments that might damage a lot of the good he has participated in adding to this sport over the years."

"Brock is a heel in the ring but at home he is a human, husband, father and friend to many. Wishing death or harm upon him doesn't serve any purpose. I will do my best to make Frank's dream of fighting Brock come true, unfortunately for them it will be a three round fight as I plan on winning both of those belts."
↵You gotta love that last line from Carwin. He’s stayed pretty quiet in the lead up to his interim title fight with Mir at UFC 111, but being that the title fight with Brock was originally his last fall, there’s no doubt that Shane will be looking to make a serious statement come March 27.
