Shane Carwin vs. Roy Nelson in the works for UFC 125

A heavyweight bout between Shane Carwin Ultimate Fighter 10 winner Roy Nelson is reportedly in the works for UFC 125 on New Year's day.

Neither party confirmed the match, but sources told MMAfighting.com that the UFC is working to put the fight together.

Carwin and Nelson traded barbs over Twitter in August, which left fans hoping that a match up would be made.

Nelson (15-5, 2-1 UFC) is coming off of knee surgery for an injury suffered during his UFC 117 loss to Junior dos Santos.

Carwin (12-1, 4-1 UFC) will look to rebound from the first professional loss of his career, a second-round submission to Brock Lesnar at UFC 116.

Nelson last three fights:
Loss (Unanimous Decision) Junior dos Santos - UFC 117
