"Brock's a great fighter for only having the amount of experience that he has. Stylistically, I think this fight fits us a lot more than the Mir fight did. I was more nervous about the Mir fight than I am about the Brock fight...I feel we have a few advantages coming into this fight and I'm really looking forward to it. Everybody in this game right now feels that Brock is unbeatable and I love that. It puts more on the table and puts less pressure on our shoulders and makes there be a lot to accomplish. We're winning a world title, but we're also beating someone that a lot of people think is unstoppable," stated world-class MMA/boxing trainer Trevor Wittman as he talked about Shane Carwin's preparations for his upcoming clash with UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar at UFC 116. Check it out!

PC: We always here people talk about how much it takes out of a fighter to prepare for a big fight, but you're going from helping Rashad prepare for his toughest fight against Rampage to helping Shane Carwin prepare for his toughest fight against Brock Lesnar. How do you manage it with no breaks and no time off?

TW: Percy, I never get a break in this gym. My elbows, my shoulders and my wrists hurt all of the time. I have the dream that all trainers dream and that's to be able to work with heavyweights; top-level heavyweights. It's an honor and a gift from God. In the boxing world, I had a lot of middleweights and junior middleweights. To be able to work with these heavyweights, I mean, yeah, they wear me down, but I never get a break from it. I had Rashad fighting, I got James McSweeney fighting on June 19th and then we got Brendan [Schaub] and Shane [Carwin] on July 3rd and then Nate Marquardt in August. I'm not going to get a break from training at all. I gotta stay focused because I will be busy and honestly, I think that keeps me on point.

PC: Brock Lesnar is another tall order for you to tackle. He is not only a physical specimen, but we're seeing improvement every time out from him. How do you attack a guy like this?

TW: The thing is we just gotta be 100% that night. I'm really excited about this fight. We were supposed to fight Brock awhile back and then he had his situation where he had to take some time off. I'm really glad he's healthy and glad he's able to do what he loves, which is fight. I think Brock's a great fighter for only having the amount of experience that he has. Stylistically, I think this fight fits us a lot more than the Mir fight did. I was more nervous about the Mir fight than I am about the Brock fight. We were supposed to fight Brock and then, all of a sudden, we got Mir and I always thought Mir was the best heavyweight in the division. He has so many options, he's very light on his feet, he does very good boxing, he does really good kicks, he's very creative and his Jiu Jitsu is world-class. We had to come up with a really good game plan for that fight. The thing is I don't think anybody has seen all of Shane's striking and that's like a hidden weapon for him. We went in there and wasn't able to tune up because we had a year layoff at that point as well. I feel we have a few advantages coming into this fight and I'm really looking forward to it. Everybody in this game right now feels that Brock is unbeatable and I love that. It puts more on the table and puts less pressure on our shoulders and makes there be a lot to accomplish. We're winning a world title, but we're also beating someone that a lot of people think is unstoppable. That's the task at hand and any time you can have a task like that, it makes the challenge that much better. It's more entertaining for us.

PC: I remember speaking to you when you first started working with Shane and you were saying how we haven't even seen 50% of what this guy is capable of and how he was still a baby in the game. Where do you think he is now as a fighter?

TW: The thing is no one has really seen him. The fight with Mir was a little over 2 minutes, so we still didn't see a lot. There wasn't much striking. It was a lot of pinning him up against the cage and doing some dirty boxing. We still haven't seen Shane Carwin. He's getting better and better and he's new to the sport. The guy only has 12 fights and in those 12 fights, he probably had about 15 minutes in the cage, so his experience has not shown and he is really new to this game. And he has accomplished a good bit so far. We have a lot to look at, even after this fight with Brock. He has to continue to grow. I know a lot of people like to watch guys get knocked out; well, he is the guy to watch for that.

PC: Thanks for your time as always Trev. You have a beautiful family man; it was great to see them on Primetime. Is there anything you want to say in closing?

TW: I appreciate you saying that about the family man. That's my pride and joy and without them, I wouldn't be doing this. I want to thank a few people that really helped me out. Heavy Hands helped me out big time and Dollamur Mats as well. I appreciate all of the support and keep watching our guys man.
