Stars und Sternchen! » on Saturday night.

HALIFAX - Canadian Rory (Ares) MacDonald and former Strikeforce champion Tarec (Sponge) Saffiedine both weighed in at 170 pounds Friday ahead of their welterweight main event Saturday on a televised UFC card.MacDonald, ranked No. 2 among 170-pound contenders, and Saffiedine, ranked No. 9, did not shake hands or exchange words when they squared off after making weight. Saffiedine, an experienced Belgian kickboxer who fights out of California, gave MacDonald a brief nod before leaving the stage at the Scotiabank Centre.After beating Tyron (The Chosen One) Woodley last time out, at UFC 174 in Vancouver in June, MacDonald (17-2) planted his flag in the sand.One day, very soon the belt will be mine, he said in the post-fight interview.He can make it sooner than later with a win Saturday night. Welterweight champion Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks faces top contender (Ruthless) Robbie Lawler at UFC 181 in December in a rematch of their UFC 171 meeting to decide a successor to Montreals Georges St-Pierre.Its the first five-round main event for the 25-year-old MacDonald in 11 UFC fights. A native of Kelowna, B.C., who fights out of Montreal, he is a 5-1 or 6-1 favourite to win.Saffiedine (15-3), in his UFC debut last time out, won a decision over Hyun Gyu Lim in the main event of a televised card in Singapore in January. The 28-year-old Belgian used punishing leg kicks to chop away at the big South Korean, as he did in winning the Strikeforce title against Nate (The Great) Marquardt in January 2012.The card is one of two UFC shows Saturday. Iceland welterweight Gunnar Nelsen takes on Rick (The Horror) Story in the main event of a Stockholm card earlier in the day. There were no fireworks at Fridays Halifax weigh-in, although there was still some drama.Local flyweight Chris (The Greek Assassin) Kelades had just five days to make weight as a late injury replacement against Irelands Patrick (The Hooligan) Holohan.The five-foot-six Kelades towelled down thoroughly, wiping off every bead of sweat, before stripping down and getting on the scales behind a towel. He weighed in at the flyweight non-title limit of 126 pounds, punching his fist in the air and drawing cheers from the crowd when the weight was announced.Holohan, who weighed in at 125, looked like an Irish tourism commercial. He entered brandishing an Irish flag, wearing an Irish jersey and underwear in Irish colours.The two fighters, both of whom looked like they could use a good meal, exchanged words as they squared off.Toronto middleweight Elias (The Spartan) Theodorou, as befitting a man who has served as a model for a Harlequin romance cover, paused to take a selfie on stage before stepping on the scales. He faces stocky Brazilian Bruno Santos.Perhaps the happiest man to weigh in was Cuban-born Yosdenis (The Pink Panther) Cedeno. The Miami-based lightweight stepped on the scales wearing sunglasses and holding a baby ultrasound picture.The proud soon-to-be father faces Chad (The Disciple) Laprise, a native of Chatham, Ont., fighting out of Montreal. Chinas Li (The Leech) Jingliang also made the most of his time on the scales, smiling and flexing. He meets Nordine Taleb, a French-born welterweight who fights out of Montreal. The 12-fight Halifax card features nine Canadian fighters, as well as athletes from 10 different birth countries: Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Cuba, France, Ireland, Nigeria, Russia and the U.S.The other Canadians on the card are bantamweight Mitch Gagnon of Sudbury, Ont., welterweight Matt Dwyer of Kelowna, B.C., lightweight Jason Saggo of Charlottetown and lightweight Olivier Aubin-Mercier of Montreal.Halifax is the seventh Canadian city to host a UFC show, joining Calgary, Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver.

Adidas Cheap Shoes Lowest Price . -- Lara Gut of Switzerland regained the overall World Cup lead with Sundays super-G win in Lake Louise, Alta.Ahead of Judgement Night, Rod Studd recalls how Raymond van Barneveld staged a stunning revival in 2015. It was a really tense night, because there were five players who could have been in the two elimination spots at the end of the evening.The first part of the campaign had been pretty miserable for Barney, who had never been higher than seventh. He went into Judgement Night in the eighth spot, just one place above the elimination places, but would benefit from results earlier in the evening. Stephen Bunting drew with Kim Huybrechts, which put the Belgian definitely out, and then Adrian Lewis beat Peter Wright, that meant Jackpot was safe and Wright sat just above the drop-zone. Gary Anderson stood in the way of Barneys hopes of beating the drop By the time he faced Anderson on the oche, Barney had slipped into the bottom two, but a draw would be good enough to save him at the expense of Wright. All the pressure was on the Dutchmans big shoulders as he began his match with Anderson, who was expected to send Barney out.Raymonds future looked bleak when he fell 3-2 behind, but he staged a battling revival to go 5-3 up and eventually a 91 checkout put him 6-4 in front, earning him the point he needed to avoid elimination. The match ended in a 6-6 draw and Wright instead exited the competition, although it was what followed after that, which was absolutely incredible. Barney produced the most remarkable run of results that anybody has achieved in the history of the Premier League.dddddddddddd Rod Studd In the coming weeks, Barney produced the most remarkable run of results that anybody has achieved in the history of the Premier League. I dont care if its Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson or anybody. He beat Taylor 7-2 the next week, then beat Van Gerwen 7-3, then Dave Chisnall, Anderson, Lewis, drew with James Wade, and defeated Bunting to get to the semi-finals. Mardles predictions Wayne Mardle picks his winners on Judgement Night Wayne Mardle started tipping Barney to win every week. All joking apart, Wayne had seen something that no-one else had, he spotted that Raymond had found some belief. Every week, Wayne said: I think hell win, and the rest of us were like: yes, okay Wayne. In the semi-finals, he went 7-4 up on Van Gerwen and it seemed this fairy tale was going to continue, but unfortunately for him Michael had other ideas and went on to win 10-8.It just shows you that if you can get through, by hook or crook tonight, literally any outcome is still possible, because there are eight games to play. Barney has given everybody hope.Watch all of the Premier League action on Judgement Night, with live coverage starting at 7pm on Sky Sports 1. Or watch live for £6.99 without a contract, on NOW TV.
