Shane Carwin out of TUF Finale against Roy Nelson with knee injury

This could be the end of the line for Shane Carwin. The oft-injured heavyweight was hoping to return from an extended layoff with a TUF coaching gig and eventual matchup with fellow coach Roy Nelson in December.

According to UFC president Dana White though, that’s not happening anymore:

“WOW!! It never ends Carwin blew his knee out. Looking for a new opponent for Roy on the TUF Finale on FX.” – @DanaWhite

The 37-year-old Carwin (12-2) hasn’t competed since UFC 131 in June 2011 when he was brutalized by Junior dos Santos and lost a unanimous decision.

He underwent back surgery after that bout, and suffered a setback that has kept him out until now. He also underwent neck surgery before the bout with JDS.
