A potential interim heavyweight title fight between Shane Carwin (11-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Cain Velasquez (7-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) could be in jeopardy due to a scheduling conflict.

With current champion Brock Lesnar’s recent bacterial infection and hospitalization expected to keep him out of action until mid-2010, his fight with Carwin – first planned for UFC 106 and then scrapped again from January’s UFC 108 card – is on hold.

Earlier this week, Carwin confirmed he and Velasquez “are in talks” for a potential interim title fight, but a source close to the fighter told MMAjunkie.com the target date, UFC 110 in Australia, could be a problem.
