HeadBlade Signs UFC Interim Heavyweight Champ Shane Carwin

June 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, Calif (USA)….. HeadBlade® announced today that UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion Shane Carwin inked a deal with the Culver City-based men’s grooming company specializing in headcare and head-shaving products worldwide.

Carwin holds an impressive 12-0 record in the UFC, many of which ended by knockout.  His most recent KO against Frank Mir in UFC 111 landed him the pay-per-view bout against Brock Lesnar on July 3rd at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, billed as “The Biggest Heavyweight Fight Ever.”  While Lesnar still holds the Heavyweight Championship belt, Carwin earned the title of Interim Heavyweight Champion after Lesnar pulled out of UFC due to illness in 2009.  Up until this point, Carwin has always stepped into the Octagon with hair on his head.

"I am honored to be working with HeadBlade®.  I have recently started shaving my head (mother nature was doing it for me) and I love it,” Carwin said.  “Using the HeadBlade® Sport razor gives me a cleaner and faster shave than any other grooming device.  For a guy who is raising a family, and being the UFC Interim Champion, time is everything.  HeadBlade® is the ultimate razor, and the only one good enough for me."

Todd Greene, the owner and inventor of HeadBlade®, saw an incredible opportunity to sponsor Carwin.  “We’ve been huge fans of MMA (mixed martial-arts) since starting the company in 1999,” Greene said.  “Shane is an undeniable force in the UFC, and when we heard he started shaving his head, there was no hesitation.  He’s both a powerful fighter, and a genuine class act – the type of guy we had to have on our team.”

HeadBlade® has a long history of partnering with athletes and celebrities that embody the lifestyle of the brand, including NBA star Al Harrington, Olympian Zach Lund, comedian Howie Mandel, and over 40 fighters such as Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, and Keith Jardine.

Watch freshly-shaved Carwin brawl with Lesnar on pay-per-view Saturday July 3rd in Las Vegas for UFC 116.  Carwin fans can also have exclusive chances to win prizes leading up to the fight through HeadBlade® and Carwin’s communities.
