Royce Gracie Backtracks On Shane Carwin Comments

Former UFC champion and Hall of Famer Royce Gracie made some interesting remarks about Shane Carwin on Wednesday following news of his exit from a planned fight. Carwin suffered a nasty knee injury, forcing him out of a bout with Roy Nelson at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale.

Well, a day later, Gracie has once again taken to Twitter, this time to explain the comments posted were not his doing.

"Guys, yesterday I was informed that I published something negative against Shane Carwin. I never published anything about the guy I do not know, or anything about him," Gracie wrote. "I was informed someone got into my account, invaded my Twitter. I changed the password and hope it does not happen again."

Gracie has deleted the comment from his page. Carwin has not made any kind of public statement since word of his exit from the bout.
