Shane Carwin will officially return to competition as part of the Rizin FF Grand Prix on Dec. 29 in Saitama, Japan.The Japanese promotion announced a deal with Carwin on Wednesday. The 41-year-old is the final entrant into a previously announced Grand Prix tournament at Saitama Super Arena. His opponent has not yet been announced.Japan is one of the most prestigious countries for not just the sport of MMA but martial arts, in general, said Carwin, in a statement released by Rizin.The legends of the sport have fought in Japan and for [Rizin CEO and former Pride Fighting Championships head Nobuyuki] Sakakibara, and it is an absolute honor to be chosen for this event and to fight in an arena with so much history.Carwin (12-2) has not fought since June 2011, but he announced his intention to return to the sport earlier this year. He ultimately severed ties with the UFC, for whom he fought six times from 2008 and 2011.Last weekend, Carwin, who fights out of Denver, teased a potential signing with Rizin, as well as a fight against Russian icon Fedor Emelianenko. That matchup, however, did not materialize.The Rizin FF Grand Prix actually started on Sept. 25, but it culminates in a series of bouts from Dec. 29 to 31. In addition to Carwin, former Pride stars?Mirko Cro Crop Filipovic?(31-11-2) and Wanderlei Silva (35-12-1) are scheduled to compete.I am excited to return to the sport of MMA, and I am also excited to be signing with Rizin, Carwin stated. Im ready to help take the company to the next level. I want people to remember me for my fights in Rizin, and for Rizin to be remembered as the promotion that overtook the UFC. After I win this Grand Prix, fans can be excited about the great future that is to come. http://www.saintsrookiestore.com/Saints-Aj-Klein-Jersey/ .

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- In the aftermath of a lopsided loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, in primetime no less, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith acknowledged that you own this right now, you wear it and it stinks.The Chiefs will smell for quite a while.Their embarrassing 43-14 loss on Sunday night left them 2-2 through their first four games, and with more questions than answers heading into a week off.Their offense was inept, their defense was fileted by Ben Roethlisberger and Co., and even their usually solid special teams were a stumbling mess.Youd love to go into it on a better note, Smith said of the bye, but who knows? Whether we like it or not, its here. We have to use it. Get healthy, regroup and bounce back from this.Here are the grimy details from the Chiefs worst loss under Andy Reid:- They lost two turnovers, both of which turned into touchdowns. One was coughed up by suddenly fumble-prone Spencer Ware and the other was an interception on a screen pass flawed from the start.- Smith was sacked four times by a Steelers defense that had just one through the first three games.- Dustin Colquitt shanked a punt that gave the Steelers great field position, and Tyreek Hills punt return touchdown was wiped out by an illegal blocking penalty by Demetrius Harris.- One week after picking off six passes and forcing eight turnovers against the Jets, the Chiefs didnt force a single turnover against the Steelers. Roethlisberger was 22 of 27 for 300 yards and five scores, and LeVeon Bell ran for 144 yards in his return from a three-game suspension.You learn a lot about yourself when you get your butt kicked, Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said.The best thing about it is it counts as one game. It does not put a damper on the season, and it does not set us into panic mode. Do we need to figure it out? Yes we need to figure it out.The onus on that falls on Reids shoulders.Long recognized as an ooffensive mastermind, Reid has stumbled through most of the first four weeks.ddddddddddddThe Chiefs needed a frantic comeback to beat the Chargers in their opener, then failed to score a touchdown in a loss at Houston, before scoring just one offensive TD against the Jets.On Sunday night, the Chiefs didnt reach the end zone until the fourth quarter.Even more damning about the performance? It came a week after the Eagles, led by former Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson, blitzed past Pittsburgh in a 34-3 rout.This one we didnt sustain. We just werent able to sustain drives, Reid said Monday. We had a couple opportunities in the red zone we didnt take advantage of. I have to look in the mirror on that one.Perhaps the only bright spot against Pittsburgh was the return of Jamaal Charles, who tore the ACL in his right knee in Week 5 last season.But the four-time Pro Bowl running back only carried twice and perhaps was pressed into service earlier than desired because of an injury to Charcandrick West.Charles came out of the game healthy, but its unclear what his workload will be like going forward.Well see. Well just play it by ear, Reid said. See how hes feeling and the production and all of those things. Weve got 12 games here to figure that out.Reid said the Chiefs would spend Monday digesting the loss, then cut his players loose for the remainder of the bye week. The NFL has rules about how much they can be in the building during a week off.Still, that doesnt mean the loss wont linger with them.Were 2-2, so its not the end of the world, right? Even though it feels that way, Reid said. We have a week off to step back and analyze and try to fix some of the issues.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
