Former Fighter Carwin Founds Management Group To Represent UFC Competitors

Former UFC fighter Shane Carwin has "decided to found his own management group" called E Pluribus Unum Collective, where he "hopes to represent fighters in the same way he was represented during his UFC career," according to Damon Martin of FOXSPORTS.com. Carwin "believes coming from the same background as the athletes he wants to represent will give him an inside track on what they need and how they need to be treated." It is something Carwin believes is "sorely lacking in MMA as a whole." Carwin: "I want these fighters ... to understand it's not me trying to make a ton of money here. It's more about trying to help these fighters out. When they are just getting started and help them grow and then we grow with them. That's the idea behind it." Carwin "knows management in MMA faces new challenges in the current era, especially after the UFC signed an exclusive apparel deal with Reebok, which restricts athletes from wearing other sponsors inside the Octagon during a fight." He plans on building his team "from the ground up and with a strong foundation he plans to be around MMA and other professional sports as a manager for many years to come" (FOXSPORTS.com, 5/3).
