We know that Shane Carwin is probably a win or possibly next in line for a shot at the UFC Heavyweight title and will have to face the prospect that Brock Lesnar may be in the cards for the future. Bobby Lashley is on the rise too switching from professional wrestling into MMA has three fights signed over the course of the next few months. One of his opponents will be Bob Sapp, so it makes perfect sense that the two would train together to help prepare for opponents that will match their size.

Carwin spoke about training with Lashley in his official Mypace blog and says he was very impressed with the former ECW Heavyweight champion.

“I got the privilege of training with Bobby today, Needless to say he is a very strong and competitive athlete. He is still green (as we all are) but I see him making great strides in this sport. For being such a super star he seemed very grounded and eager to learn. If I caught him in a submission he wanted to learn how I did it, what he should have done differently to avoid it. His desire to learn and evolve will be the true credit t his success as a MMA fighter IMO”.

Wouldn’t you love to be a “Fly on the wall” of those training sessions, that’s over 500 pounds of raw muscle going at each other. I wonder who got the better of who in the wrestling department? What are your thoughts on these two training together?
