INDIANAPOLIS -- Carlos (The Natural Born Killer) Condit avenged a 2009 loss and retained his perch high among welterweight contenders, battering Martin (The Hitman) Kampmann to win by fourth-round TKO Wednesday on a televised UFC card. http://www.superstarsupercolor.fr/zx-700-homme-femme-adidas-chaussures-102.html . Kampmann scored well with early takedowns but the taller Condit began to connect with his strikes. Kampmann, his face a bloody mask, was barely surviving when the third round ended. Condit (29-7) hurt Kampmann with a barrage of blows in the fourth, hurting Kampmann with a body shot and finishing him at the fence with a flurry before referee Herb Dean stepped in 54 seconds in to protect a crumpled Kampmann (20-7). "Hes one of the best in the world," UFC president Dana White said of Condit. "He looked awesome in that Johny Hendricks fight (Condit lost by decision), he looked awesome in this fight here tonight. I love his attitude. Hes a finisher." Condit and Kampmann each picked up a US$50,000 bonus for fight of the night. In the co-main event before 5,950 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, home to the Indiana Pacers and Fever, 10th-ranked lightweight Rafael dos Anjos won a unanimous 29-28 decision over No. 6 Donald (Cowboy) Cerrone for his fifth straight victory. Kampmann, ranked sixth among welterweight contenders, walked out first to "Its a Fight" by Three 6 Mafia. No. 2 Condit followed to Rage Against the Machines "Know Your Enemy." Kampmann immediately took Condit down, exploiting a rare chink in Condits armour. Going into the fight, Condit had defended just 27.3 per cent of his takedowns, well below the UFC average of 59 per cent. When they got back up, the Las Vegas-based Dane stuck to Condit like glue. After absorbing some strikes, Kampmann seemed to favour his eye but managed to record four takedowns in the round. Condit resisted takedowns in the second and began to find his striking range, bloodying Kampmanns nose and connecting with a kick to the head. The Dane looked frustrated as he headed to his corner. Kampmann got another takedown early in the third but Condit fought his way up at the fence. Then he opened a cut on the forehead between Kampmanns eyes. Condit took the fight to a bloody Kampmann, pounding him on the feet, then mounting him late in the round and trying two submissions at the fence. A gutsy Kampmann rebounded with a takedown to open the fourth. But then Condit took over, connecting at will and ending the fight with a string of brutal knees. According to FightMetric, Kampmann led 6-0 in takedowns but Condit had a huge 110-35 edge in significant strikes."I got the fast start I wanted ... but I gassed myself out completely," said Kampmann. "After the first round, I didnt feel I had anything left. I just went into survival mode." The main event will have been watched closely by a pair of Canadian 170-pounders, who are preparing for UFC 167 in November. The next major piece of the welterweight puzzle will fall in Las Vegas where champion Georges St-Pierre of Montreal meets No. 1 contender Hendricks and No. 3 Rory (Ares) MacDonald of Montreal faces No. 9 (Ruthless) Robbie Lawler. Condit, a former WEC and interim UFC champion, lost his UFC debut by split decision to Kampmann in April 2009. Condit won his next five fights -- including a victory over MacDonald -- before losing to St-Pierre and Hendricks. For dos Anjos (20-6), it was his ninth win in his last 11 outings. Cerrone (20-6 with one no contest) had only spent 16 seconds on his back in his first nine UFC fights. But dos Anjos, after wobbling him with a blow to the head, put him there three minutes into the first round and hurt him with some ground and pound. Both fighters scored takedowns in the second while Cerrone, taking the fight to dos Anjos, had the better of the third. Earlier, UFC newcomer Brandon (Rukus) Thatch lived up to the hype, battering welterweight Justin (Fast Eddy) Edwards (9-3) en route to a first-round stoppage that was worth $50,000 for knockout of the night. Thatch (10-1) used kicks and knees to subdue the smaller Edwards, who eventually toppled at the fence from a punch to the head. Referee Rob Hinds stepped in at one minute 23 seconds to save the outmatched Edwards from further punishment. "I hit him with a really hard knee to the head and he just kept coming. He was incredibly tough," Thatch said of Edwards, who fell to 2-3 in the UFC. All of Thatchs wins have come in the first round. And they have taken a combined 12 minutes 33 seconds to complete. Three of those wins came in Montreals Instinct MMA promotion -- they lasted a total of two minutes 28 seconds -- with the last performance prompting St-Pierre to request the 28-year-old from Denver as a training partner. Kelvin Gastelum impressed in his debut at welterweight after winning Season 17 of "the Ultimate Fighter" as a middleweight. The 21-year-old wasted little time submitting Brian Melancon, knocking him down with an uppercut and then locking in a rear-naked choke. "WOW!!! Kelvin looked awesome tonight," tweeted White. Gastelum (8-0) wobbled Melancon (7-3) with a flurry of blows before dropping him with an uppercut. He then took his back and finished him at 2:26. Court (The Crusher) McGee survived some slick counter-striking from New-Zealand-born Australian Robert Whittaker to win a split (27-30, 30-27, 29-28) decision in a matchup of "Ultimate Fighter" winners. Whittaker (12-3), who trained at the Tristar Gym in Montreal for this fight and had coach Firas Zahabi in his corner, used his left jab and right elbow to carve open McGees face. But McGee (16-3) kept coming and won the decision, his second straight victory since dropping to welterweight. Japanese bantamweight Takeya Mizugaki won a split (28-29, 29-28, 29-28) decision to hand Mexicos Erik (Goyito) Perez his first loss in the UFC after three wins. Mizugaki (18-7-2), showing off a deep bag of tricks in a fast-paced fight, had the better of the third round to record the win. Perez (13-5) saw his eight-fight win streak snapped in one of the better bouts of the night as both 135-pounders punched well above their weight. Brad Tavares improved to 6-1 in the UFC as a middleweight, taking a unanimous 29-28 decision over Bubba (The Menace) McDaniel (21-7). Tavares (11-2) controlled the first two rounds, lashing McDaniels lead leg with kicks, but had to fight from the bottom after being taken down in the third. "It was a frustrating fight," said Tavares. "I couldnt find his chin." Australian middleweight Dylan (The Villain) Andrews, after hurting his shoulder and losing the first two rounds, rallied to stop Swedens Papy (Makambo) Abedi with a flurry of punishing blows. Andrews (18-5 with one no contest) rocked Abedi (9-3) with a right and then an uppercut before finishing him on the ground at 1:32 of the third. Andrews apologized for his performance, saying he heard his shoulder crack when he was dumped in the first round. He exited the cage with his left arm hanging down motionless inside his T-shirt, saying later he had separated his shoulder. Indianas Darren (The Damage) Elkins improved to 6-1 as a featherweight with a unanimous 29-28 decision over veteran Hatsu Hioki of Japan. Elkins (18-3) was hurt by a kick to the liver in the first round but rallied to take the third round, hurting Hioki (26-7-2) with ground and pound. The card started in bizarre fashion when the lightweight bout between Roger (Relentless) Bowling (11-4) and Abel (Killa) Trujillo (10-5) was stopped at 4:57 of the second round and declared a no contest because of what was deemed an unintentional foul. The foul in question was a pair of Trujillo knees delivered to a kneeling Bowling at the fence. The knees were followed by a punch which left Bowling dazed on the ground as a doctor looked him over. Most -- including Bowling -- thought Trujillo, who was deducted a point for the infraction, knew what he was doing when he launched the knees. Trujillo predictably saw it differently. "Both of those knees were legal. I saw he was breaking and I hit the second knee at the top of his chest," Trujillo said. "The punch is what really hurt him. He acted his way to a no contest." White agreed. "Both those knees were legal!!! Trujillo should have won," he tweeted. The UFC boss said later he would pay Trujillo his win bonus despite the result. Welterweight Jason (The Kansas City Bandit) High (18-4) stopped James Head (9-4) via a nasty guillotine choke at 1:41 of the first round for his first UFC win. In his welterweight debut, Zak Cummings (16-3) defeated Australian Benny (Blanco) Alloway (13-6) via dArce choke at 4:19 of the first round. Cummings got $50,000 for submission of the night. http://www.superstarsupercolor.fr/homme-femme-adidas-neo-v-racer-tm-apr-noir-blanc-fluorescent-verte-running-chaussures.html . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. http://www.superstarsupercolor.fr/adidas-zx-750-homme-femme-chaussures-169.html . Speaking Thursday on TSN 1050 Thursday, the Leafs GM also touched on the questions surrounding the teams leadership and the struggles of his big-name free-agent signing. “Its not from lack of effort from the coaching staff. http://www.superstarsupercolor.fr/homme-femme-adidas-stan-smith.html . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. PYONGYANG, North Korea -- Dennis Rodman apologized Thursday for comments he made in North Korea about a detained American missionary, saying he had been drinking and was under pressure as he organized a game with former NBA players. The former basketball star issued the apology through publicist Jules Feiler in an email message to The Associated Press, a day after he sang "Happy Birthday" to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the start of the friendly game. Rodman has been slammed for not using his influence with Kim to help free Kenneth Bae, the missionary in poor health who is being confined in North Korea for "anti-state" crimes. In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Rodman implied Bae was at fault. "I want to apologize," Rodman said Thursday. "I take full responsibility for my actions. It had been a very stressful day. Some of my teammates were leaving because of pressure from their families and business associates. My dreams of basketball diplomacy was quickly falling apart. I had been drinking. Its not an excuse but by the time the interview happened I was upset. I was overwhelmed. Its not an excuse, its just the truth." Rodman said he wanted to apologize first to Baes family. "Im very sorry. At this point I should know better than to make political statements. Im truly sorry." In the interview, Rodman was asked whether he would raise the issue of Bae during his visit. "Kenneth Bae did one thing," Rodman replied. "If you understand what Kenneth Bae did -- do you understand what he did in this country?" Asked to explain, Rodman declined to respond. Bae, a Korean-American Christian missionary and tour operator based in China, has been detained for more than a year. North Korea sees missionary work as a threat to its authoritarian government. Baes sister, Terri Chung, welcomed Rodmans apology. "I think its good to see him recognize the gravity and the urgency of Kens plight," she said from her home in Edmonds, Washington. "Its nothing he can make light of or play games with." "I just want to make sure that everyone -- not just Dennis Roodman -- everyone knows about Kenneth Baes plight and how precarious it is," she said. http://www.superstarsupercolor.fr/homme-femme-adidas-stan-smith-blanc-multi.html. . The U.S. State Department distanced itself from Rodman and said it did not want to "dignify" his activities or comments in Pyongyang by commenting on them. But spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the department was open to speaking with Rodman on his return. "We have not reached out to him. Weve said before, if he wants to reach out to us, were happy to hear from him and what he has to say," she told reporters. Rodman dedicated the game to his "best friend" Kim, who along with his wife and other senior officials and their wives watched from a special seating area. The capacity crowd of about 14,000 at the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium clapped loudly as Rodman sang a verse from the birthday song and then bowed deeply to Kim, seated above him in the stands. Rodman said he was honoured to be able to play the game in the North Korean capital and called the event "historic." Some members of the U.S. Congress, the NBA and human rights groups, however, say he has become a public relations tool for North Koreas government. The governments poor human rights record and its threats to use nuclear weapons against rival South Korea and the United States have kept it a pariah state. Kim shocked the world in December by having his uncle, once considered his mentor, executed after being accused of a litany of crimes including corruption, womanizing, drug abuse and attempting to seize power. Rodman has refused to address those concerns while continuing to forge a relationship with Kim. Rodman is the highest-profile American to meet Kim, who inherited power after the death of his father in late 2011. Rodman has said he is not a statesman and instead is seeking only to build cultural connections with the North through basketball that may help improve relations between Pyongyang and Washington. Along with Rodman, the former NBA players included ex-All Stars Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson and Vin Baker. Also on the roster were Craig Hodges, Doug Christie, Charles D. Smith and four streetballers. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
