    With many fans questioning Shane Carwin's cardio following his loss to Brock Lesnar at UFC 116 but the man himself has cleared it up via his own Twitter page.

    Following an epic first round which saw Carwin almost destroy the Champ Brock Lesnar, he quickly began to fade as the fight progressed. Despite nearly TKO'ing Brock, Carwin mounted his opponent in an attempted to finish him, but seemed to lose more and more power with each blow. With Lesnar holding on, the round ended, and Carwin looked like he had been on the receiving end as opposed to Lesnar. Only a few seconds into the round, Carwin was looking extremely stiff and gassed. Lesnar took him down and eventually locked in a side choke which left an already exhausted Carwin struggling to breathe.

    But now, with recent tests, it seems there is a valid reason for Carwin's poor cardio, which he himself had always maintained was top notch. He released a "tweet" earlier saying:

    “What happened to me July 3rd is called ‘Lactic Acidosis’. It was brought on by a few things and mainly not breathing while exerting energy. I was all cramped up, nausea and major head ache.

    “Let me be clear Brock won the fight, no issues that he earned the right to be the Champion. Just passing on the info as it comes 2 me. I will fight him any time I get the chance.”

    Since the bout, it has been confirmed that Brock's next defence will be against Cain Valasquez, while the next move for Carwin is currently unclear.

    According to Wikipedia, Lactic Acidosis is:
    physiological condition characterized by low pH in body tissues and blood (acidosis) accompanied by the buildup of lactate, and is considered a distinct form of metabolic acidosis. The condition typically occurs when cells receive too little oxygen (hypoxia), for example during vigorous exercise. In this situation, impaired cellular respiration leads to lower pH levels. Simultaneously, cells are forced to metabolize glucose anaerobically, which leads to lactate formation. Therefore, elevated lactate is indicative of tissue hypoxia, hypoperfusion, anble damage.

    ???? Why did he feel the need to explain what gassing out is? Who cares he shouldn't have flailed about like a child during a temper tantrum. next time he may pick his shots while in the g'n'p.

    Maybe he should remember how to breathe correctly when he has the champ underneath him.

    I like Carwin but we all figured this out on our own last week. Expect a rematch to be more thrilling than the first.

    Love it,

    "I lost because of blah blah blah. But I'm not making excuses, just saying."

    No, you're letting the public know, you're making excuses. Even if someone asked you, which no one did as it appears, if there were any problems all you should say is "No there's no problems".

    You gassed, we don't need to know you drank a gallon of milk and a pizza pie before the fight.

    :lol::lol:

    This is bizarre. Giving a convoluted term to what means "being tired". Yes you get lactic acid build up in your muscles when you do exercise. The better cardiovascular conditioning you have the less of an issue it will be. The more heavily muscled you are the more likely you will be to experience it and thus the harder you have to focus on improving your cardio or learning to pace yourself.

    It is like saying "I lost due to temporary cognitive shut down in the form of a mild, traumatic, brain injury brought about by an unforseen and rapid rotation of the cranium by impact forces."

    Yeah you were KO'd mate.

    Well yea, that is what happens when you are tired.

    It's like saying "I got tired because I couldn't catch my breath."

    So he's basically admitting that he got punch happy and ****ed up his conditioning for the rest of the fight. :rofl

    Pretty obvious point there shane but thanks anyway.

    This is what happened to private Santiago in "A Few Good Men". Did they find a rag in Carwin's throat?

    Not breathing while fighting is quite a lame excuse. It's not like it's his first sparring session or something.

    It doesn't sound that lame to me...

    He didn't just tire because or poor conditioning...it was because he was basically holding his breath while wailing on Brock...yes, a rudimentary mistake, but it is not just the same as simply gassing out or getting tired..

    He ****ed up royally by forgetting the fundamentals and letting his early success affect his judgement....

    I thought it was a fairly interesting tid-bit which explains why he capitulated so qucikly..:conf
