GunsAmerica Sponsors Shane Carwin for UFC 116!

Hello Everyone!

As you may know, we occasionally sponsor UFC fighters from time to time. Recently we decided to pull away from sponsoring the smaller names and grabbing sponsorship deals here and there and put all of our UFC investment in one fighter who is a good role model for our sport.

Shane Carwin is who we decided on. Shane is a genuine gun guy, hunter, and shooting sports enthusiast. He is also known throughout the UFC community as a nice, personable and stand up guy. I have personally followed his career since his first fight and Shane is second to no fighter in the world.

You may find this an interesting comment since officially Shane lost to Brock Lesnar in the second round at UFC 116, but if you watch the fight you will see that the win was not so decisive. Shane beat the champ up pretty good in the first round and many of us watching thought the fight should have been stopped when Brock covered up.

Shane will be back, most likely even to fight Brock again. This was not a difficult loss for us his fans, because most real UFC fans were happy to see Brock back at his Championship form after a long illness, and Shane beat him in the first round anyway lol.

Ten lucky GunsAmerica Shane Carwin fans got free passes to the afterparty in Vegas. We haven’t gotten any pictures yet but at some point we will try to add them to this post.
