Just 29, Canadian lightweight Sam (Hands of Stone) Stout is celebrating an anniversary of sorts at UFC 161. He made his pro debut as an MMA fighter 10 years ago this month at a show in Cicero, Ill., where he was choked out in the first round by Jay Estrada. "I do feel a little bit old sometimes," conceded the 155-pounder from London, Ont. "Especially when you see some of these younger guys coming up that are so good, in their early 20s still. Its like Wow, I remember when that was me. "But its a cool feeling. Its something Im proud of, the fact that Ive withstood the test of time." Stout (20-8-1) has lasted more than seven years in the UFC, making his debut at UFC 58 back in March 2006. The only other Canadian fighters active in the UFC who started earlier are welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre (UFC 46), bantamweight Ivan (The Pride of El Salvador) Menjivar (UFC 48) and middleweight-turned-welterweight Patrick (The Predator) Cote (UFC 50). Stouts Octagon record is 8-7 heading into Saturdays fight with James Krause (19-4) as the UFC visits the Manitoba capital for the first time. Krause, a late injury replacement for Isaac Vallie-Flagg, is making his UFC debut after going 0-2 in the WEC. Stout has alternated wins and losses his last five fights but has kept his place in the organization because he always comes ready to bang. He has won six bonuses, one for knockout of the night and five for fight of the night. The bonus cheques have helped him pay for his Dads driveway, buy his car outright, put a down payment on a house and open a gym. Stout, a former kick-boxer, has looked to evolve in recent years. He took Spencer (The King) Fisher down four times in winning their rubber match last June. The overall takedown count is 27-6 against Stout in his UFC career, but only 5-5 in his last four fights. "I used to be able to rely on my striking and I still do to an extent," said Stout. "But everyones striking is getting to such a high level that if I dont work on my wrestling and my jiu-jitsu and throw it into the game plan, then Im at a real disadvantage." Stout credits Rowan Cunningham, the head grappling coach, and others at the Adrenaline Training Center -- which Stout co-owns -- for helping expand his game. He has also upped his cardio training after feeling he flagged somewhat in his split decision win over Caros Fodor at UFC 157 in February. The fighter had to expand his training options after the 2011 death of Shawn Tompkins, his longtime coach, friend and brother-in-law. When Stout fought with Tompkins in his corner, it was as if the two shared a brain. Tomkins would yell out instructions and, no matter the crowd noise, Stout would immediately respond. Stout has tried a few coaching options since and speaks fondly of his time with Mark DellaGrotte in Boston (before his fight with John Makdessi at UFC 154). But these days, he prefers to sleep in his own bed and train at his own gym, although he has also worked out at Para Bellum MMA in Oakville, Ont. He admits it is a hard way to make a living, but says the positives outweigh the negatives. "There are times definitely where you wake up and youre sore and every part of your body aches and youve still go to go to the gym and people are punching you in the face," he said. "There are times when its not that fun, Ill be honest. And there are times where you think you hate it. "But when you take a step back and put it all in perspective and look at your life overall, its a pretty good gig. I work out for a living. I get to fight in front of a million people, which can be a little stressful but when its all said and done, its a pretty exciting thing that not a lot of people will ever get to do. "The kids at the gym look up to you. Theres a lot of perks that are involved with being a professional fighter that I try not to take for granted." 12 Oz Hydro Flask Kids . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It wasnt long ago when fans in Carolina were wondering when the Panthers were going to generate a consistent pass rush.Now they lead the NFL in sacks.The Panthers had five sacks Sunday in a 28-16 win over the San Diego Chargers , giving them 39 for the season and vaulting them past the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos for the league lead.With starting defensive end Charles Johnson out with a hamstring injury, Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott shuffled his lineup a bit, shifting defensive tackle Kawann Short out to defensive end for a few plays. He also chose some timely blitzes, resulting in two strip-sacks and a safety by Mario Addison, who returned after missing two weeks with an ankle injury.I thought he did a nice job, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said of Short, who finished with four tackles and two sacks. He gave us some really good push when we needed it for the most part. We wanted to start out early.Things we learned from Carolinas win over San Diego:RIVERS FLOODINGThe matchup of the NFLs fourth-leading passer and 30th-ranked passing defense didnt go as might have been expected.Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers turned the ball over five times -- three interceptions and two fumbles at Carolina. Rivers two interceptions pushed him past Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles for the league lead. That makes 10 interceptions in four games, and 12 turnovers during that span.I made some throws I probably wouldnt normally make, with all good intentions, Rivers said. I know that, and Ive said over the years, that usually things dont work out well when you do that. Your follow-up question would probably be, `then why would you do it? Im just trying to give this team a chance. You feel it getting away, and you make some throws you probably really shouldnt.FARROW TAKES OVER AT RBChargers running back Melvin Gordon left Sunday with a hip injury, leaving rookie Kenneth Farrow as the primary ball carrier. Gordon, whod followed a scoreless rookie season last year with 10 TDs rushing through 12 games, left on a cart and didnt return.Farrow finished with 55 yards on 16 carries.If the Chargers look outside the organization for help at running back this week among the free agents available are: Toby Gerhart, C.J. Spiller, and Stevan Ridley.Were just a team fighting and clawinng, Rivers said.dddddddddddd We lose a man or two every week, and every week, and another man or two steps up and fights like crazy.STEWART USES HEADPanthers running back Jonathan Stewart usually lowers his head to pound out extra yards at the end of runs. On Sunday, he used it to somersault and extend a play .Stewart, whos scored four touchdowns in the past four games, lowered the boom on Chargers safety Jahleel Addae at mid field, after a 10-yard gain. The hit sprung Stewart head over heels. But his helmet rolled off Addaes cleats rather than hitting the ground. Stewart steadied his roll with his right fist on the ground before rambling for 10 more yards and a 20-yard gain.It was awesome, Rivera said. I saw it the whole way and I was trying to cheer him on. Its kind of neat because Jonathan is a physical player. When he gets rolling, I think it really helps with our mentality.The moment wasnt lost on Stewart.Ill retweet it and put it on my Instagram, he said.JOSH NORMAN UP NEXTThe Panthers now turn their attention to the long-awaited matchup with Josh Norman and the Washington Redskins next Monday night. The Panthers used the franchise tag on the All-Pro cornerback in the offseason, then rescinded it, allowing him to sign a $75 million deal with the Redskins.This week is going to be built up a little more media-wise, said Panthers safety Tre Boston, a former teammate of Normans. Were not going to get the chatter that (you expect). It means a lot to a lot of us in here. To have him back, its going to be like brotherly love. Just like when you try to beat your little brother up, as a big brother when youre little. Thats what well try to do this week.NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo tweeted on Sunday night that hed asked Norman when his focus would turn to the Panthers.Already there, Norman was quoted as saying. This will be a fun week. They know what time it is.KUECHLY UNCERTAINPanthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly had been tracking to play on Sunday, but did not clear the final hurdle in the concussion protocol. He has now missed three games, but the Panthers hope to get him back for the Redskins.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Throwback Baseball Detroit Tigers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Colorado Rockies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Houston Astros Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Kansas City Royals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Angels Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Miami Marlins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Minnesota Twins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Mets Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Yankees Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Oakland Athletics Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Diego Padres Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Francisco Giants Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Seattle Mariners Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Tampa Bay Rays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Texas Rangers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Washington Nationals Jerseys ' ' '
