5. Shane Carwin
MMA is nowhere near as lucrative as boxing for the fighters at the top of the game. Shane Carwin didn’t have to worry about that though, because he worked as a civil engineer throughout his heavyweight career. He may have looked and fought like a savage, but there was a brain behind the brawn.
The former interim heavyweight champion has not one but two bachelor’s degrees. The first was in Mechanical engineering from Colorado and the second was in environment technology from Western State University. There’s life outside combat sports for these guys too you know.
