While UFC president Dana White recently said the status of UFC
heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar would be decided in the next four to
six weeks, things are apparently progressing much faster.

MMAjunkie.com has learned from sources close to the
organization that the UFC is targeting an interim heavyweight title
matchup between top contender Shane Carwin (11-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and former UFC champion
Frank Mir (13-4 MMA, 11-4 UFC).

If both parties agree, the contest may take place at the increasingly attractive UFC 111 event on March 27 in Newark, N.J.
