Dont expect to see him in a cage tomorrow -- or anytime this year, for that matter -- but Shane Carwin is in the process of resuming his fighting career.A laundry list of injuries caused the former UFC interim heavyweight champion to officially announce his retirement in 2013. He hasnt fought since June 2011, when he suffered a decision loss to Junior dos Santos at UFC 131.Carwin, 41, says he initially thought hed never come out of retirement, but his body has responded well to this five-year break. Last month, Carwin and his manager, Jason Genet, reached out to UFC matchmaker Joe Silva to discuss a comeback.Right now, theres a lot of paperwork to go through, Carwin told ESPNs 5 Rounds Podcast. My son is getting into training, so I thought this was an opportunity to come back. Im healthy. I feel good with the time off.It was a sad way for me to go out, with the back injuries and the knee, my neck -- everything. My body needed that break, and quite honestly, back then, the way we were training, I feel we probably trained too much. Too intense. We were sparring three times a week. A lot has revolutionized in the last five years. Its kind of changed the sport. I look at [training] schedules and theyre not as demanding on the body [now].According to Genet, Carwin (12-2) had two fights left on his UFC contract when he retired. If, for whatever reason, the UFC isnt interested in Carwins comeback, Genet anticipates the promotion would grant him a release to pursue other opportunities.Those discussions are still in a very early phase. Under the UFCs anti-doping policy, which launched July 1 last year, a retired athlete wishing to resume his or her career must first be subject to a four-month testing window by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).The UFC can waive that requirement under exceptional circumstances, as it did for Brock Lesnar ahead of UFC 200, but Genet said Carwin is very willing to undergo four months of testing -- meaning theres no immediate rush for the UFC to book him a date and opponent.Shane wants to do it without any question marks, Genet said. We spoke to Joe Silva, who told us what to do, who to talk to. We spoke to the legal department and [UFC Vice President of Athlete Health and Wellness] Jeff Novitzky. Jeff is ready to start the USADA process whenever we are. Thats the easy part. We asked the legal department if they want to be in the Shane Carwin business and asked them another specific question I wont get into right now. We have not heard back on either question yet.While his management sorts out the details, Carwin says his full focus now is on the gym. He intends to train with his former coach Leister Bowling, who is now the head coach of Colorados Elevation Fight Team with striking coach Christian Allen and grappling coach Eliot Marshall.In order to give his body proper rest, Carwin hasnt done any fight-specific training in years, but he is confident his skills havent deteriorated. If hes proven wrong in the gym in the coming months, hell rethink the idea of coming back -- but he doesnt anticipate that happening.Ive told myself theres no guarantees, Carwin said. If I get in the room and dont dominate like I used to, its probably not a wise thing to go in there and fight someone near the top of the world. But if I am, Im definitely going to be fighting.I knew when I saw Georges St-Pierre, who retired in late 2014, what he was going through at the very end, I knew exactly how he felt. I was just worn out, stressed out, not fun anymore. Too many people in your pockets, demanding this and that. Everything became everything I didnt want this sport to become, if that makes sense. It was too much business, not so much my love for the sport. I grew old of it real quick.When asked what caliber of opponent hed want whenever he does return, Carwin laughed and said, Im not so sure Id have a choice. Im pretty sure theyd stick me in there [with the top]. And Im OK with that.A former collegiate wrestler and football player, Carwin rose to the top of the heavyweight division in 2010 by winning his first 12 professional fights in the first round. He won the UFC interim title by knocking out Frank Mir at UFC 111.At UFC 116 in July 2011, Carwin fought Lesnar for the unified heavyweight title. He badly hurt Lesnar with punches in the opening round but tired in the next frame, where he lost via submission.Carwin says he doesnt lose sleep over that loss, but he would gladly accept a chance to fight Lesnar again. Lesnar, who is under contract with the WWE, fought at UFC 200 last month and defeated Mark Hunt, but he failed a pair of drug tests. He is currently facing a potential two-year suspension.Id always have interest in fighting that guy again, whether it be on the street or what, Carwin said. I would like to get another shot at that. I dont know if that will happen. Im not focused on him. Im just focused on getting back there and doing the game I love so much.

Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter.It remains the least favourite part of Jim Barkers job: Telling a player he doesnt fit into the teams plans. But it got even more difficult Saturday when the Toronto Argonauts general manager had to deliver the bad news to defensive tackle Kevin Huntley, a four-year CFL veteran who helped the squad capture the historic 100th Grey Cup title last season. Stay with TSN.ca for all the latest cuts as teams trim their rosters down to the 46-player limit ahead of the regular season. "It was probably the hardest cut Ive had in three years here because I love Kevin," Barker said. "Its the worst part of the job and this is the most difficult day of the year because its always difficult to tell a guy this isnt going to be the place for him. "But there comes a point where you have to make difficult decisions and then you move forward and thats what weve done." Former Argos defensive lineman Ricky Foley, who signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the off-season as a free agent, echoed Barkers sentiment. "I had cutdown day," Foley tweeted. "So many good relationships formed over the yrs and T.C...Blessings & Good Luck 2all the players looking 4new teams." Toronto also released linebacker Bryan Payton, running back Gerald Riggs Jr. and receiver Reggie Williams as teams had until 10 p.m. ET on Saturday to reduce their active rosters to 46 players. Clubs could carry up to nine players on the practice roster. Two notable veterans were among the Calgary Stampeders final 10 cuts: defensive end Stevie Baggs and running back LaMarcus Coker. The 31-year-old Baggs was entering his 12th CFL season with his fifth team and joined the Stampeders last season after being released by the eventual Super Bowl-champion Baltimore Ravens. The six-foot, 190-pound Coker rushed for 380 yards over two seasons with Calgary but averaged an outstanding 8.4 yards per carry. Another notable release was linebacker Clint Kent in Edmonton. The regular season kicks off Thursday night with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers hosting the Montreal Alouettes at new Investors Group Field. The Argos begin their title defence Friday night at Rogers Centre against their arch rivals, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The six-foot-eight, 305-pound Huntley has 26 career sacks, but only had two last year. Still, the 31-year-olds departure was surprising given the Argos opened training camp minus defensive line regulars Ron Flemons (released), Armondo Armstead (New England Patriots, NFL), Foley and Adriano Belli (retired). However, Barker said veteran tackle Khalif Mitchell -- obtained this off-season from B.C. -- rookies Jonathan Williams and Cleyon Laing and newcomer Jermaine Reid (trade with Edmonton) all were impressive. "For two spots we had a lot of players that we liked so thats what it came down to," Barker said. "I still think he (Huntley) can play in this league. "We felt like we had a couple of other guys that augmented what were trying to do better." Riggs, the son of former NFL star running back Gerald Riggs, was entering his second season with Toronto. But the Argos opted to go with Curtis Steele, a five-foot-11, 206-pound rookie from Memphis as the backup to incumbent Chad Kackert, last years Grey Cup MVP. "Curtis is a good, young player that well groom behind Chad," Barker said. "Gerald Riggs had a good pre-season as well, he did everytthing that was asked of him and was very good.dddddddddddd "We just felt to go younger with Curtis. Hes a different kind of back than Gerald and felt that was a better fit for us and we dont have the luxury of keeping three." Barker also said Toronto will start the season with defensive back Brent Vinson and receiver Romby Bryant on the injured list after both were hurt in Thursday nights 24-20 exhibition win over Montreal. Vinson will require surgery for a broken ankle and is expected to miss four months, while Bryant is out indefinitely with six broken ribs. Bryant signed with Toronto this off-season shortly after being granted his release by Calgary. The 33-year-old spent three-plus seasons with the Stampeders, registering 211 catches for 3,028 yards and 22 touchdowns before adding two receptions for 31 yards in the clubs 35-22 Grey Cup loss to the Argos. Over five CFL seasons, the six-foot-one, 191-pound Bryant has 295 career receptions for 4,428 yards and 31 TDs. On a more pleasant note, Barker said all-star cornerback Pat Watkins passed his physical and should begin practising this week. Watkins missed all of training camp dealing with personal matters in Florida. Elsewhere, Winnipeg let 21 players go Saturday just two days after dropping a lopsided 52-0 exhibition decision to Hamilton. Included in the cuts was quarterback Chase Clement, meaning Justin Goltz and newcomer Max Hall will back up veteran starter Buck Pierce. Saskatchewan also released 21 players, including defensive back Eddie Russ, who re-signed with the Riders rather than become a free agent after registering 33 tackles and two interceptions in 2012. Also let go were long-snapper Jordan Matechuk and kicker Brody McKnight, both CFL veterans. Hamilton made a series of moves. Defensive tackle Torrey Davis, offensive lineman Marc Dile and defensive back Terrence Parks were added to the roster while quarterback Chris Amrhein, defensive back Emanuel Davis, receivers Justin Hilton, Simon Le Marquand and Eric McCree, linebacker Nick Rosamonda and defensive linemen Eze Obiora, Donovan Robinson and Matt Singletary -- the son of former NFL star linebacker Mike Singletary -- were all released. Defensive backs Raymond Brown -- who had three interceptions, including one that was returned 115 yards for a TD against Winnipeg -- Erik Harris (who had an interception and fumble recovery versus the Bombers), Harold Mutobola (who scored a TD against Winnipeg) and Arthur Hobbs, linebacker Phillippe Dubuisson-Lebon, offensive linemen Mike Filer and Landon Rice, receivers Lyle Leong and Ouslet Volcy were added to the practice roster. Defensive back Michael Daley has been suspended. The B.C. Lions released receiver Elvis Akpla, defensive tackle Chris Clady, tackle Ben Ossai, linebacker Glenn Love, kicker-punter Steven Shott and safety Bobby Davis and placed offensive lineman Adam Baboulas on the nine-game injured list. Calgary also placed defensive back Adam Berger, linebacker Alvin Bowen, defensive linemen Luis Vasquezand Marvin Booker, running backs Jonathan Williams and Charlie Power, offensive linemen Billy Peach and NaShan Goddard and receiver Yannick Morin-Plante on the practice roster. On Friday, the Montreal Alouettes released 11 players, including quarterback Quinton Porter, who spent his first five CFL seasons in Hamilton before being released and signing a three-year deal with the Als.
