Nico Rosberg said his clean sweep of practice sessions in Suzuka helped him beat Lewis Hamilton to pole position for the Japanese Grand Prix by just 0.013s.Rosberg has been the quickest Mercedes all weekend and topped Hamilton in Q1 and Q2, only for the reigning world champion to edge ahead in the initial Q3 laps. On the final runs Rosberg just did enough to get ahead on a 1:30.647 which Hamilton was unable to match.Reflecting on the lap, Rosberg said: Of course, happy with the result in the end. It was going well the whole weekend and I had a good balance in the car, feeling good, feeling comfortable, and thats what allows me to put in a lap like that in the end.It was just a good lap, just got it all done properly, thats it. I knew I could do it, I knew I could do a good lap. The first one in Q3 wasnt perfect so I just had to get my head down and nail it.Its Rosbergs third consecutive pole position at the Suzuka circuit, though Hamilton beat him to victory from second on the grid in 2014 and 2015. Rosberg knows the start - where Hamilton barged past him last year - will be key, but the German is also wary about the role tyres will play over the course of the race.Its just putting everything together. For sure the start is going to be an important one tomorrow, and weve seen this weekend its not been too easy because its downhill and the grip somehow has been a bit lower than usual - so its going to be an interesting challenge.From then on just need to get the tyre life to get to do long enough stints and everything to get the strategy to work, its just putting everything together.Wilbert Montgomery Jersey . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.

Herman Edwards Jersey . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming.The best stretch of Demian Maias career continued Saturday with his submission win over Carlos Condit.Maia (23-6) extended his winning streak to six by submitting Condit via rear-naked choke just 1:52 into Round 1. The welterweight fight headlined UFC Fight Night at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.Maia, 38, is in the midst of an incredible run. According to FightMetric, he has absorbed just 13 strikes in his last four fights combined. None of those bouts was more impressive than Saturdays showdown against Condit, a two-time title challenger and former interim titlist.This guy has been knocking out everybody, Maia said. This is the guy, I watched his [championship] fight against Robbie Lawler [in January] -- for me, he was the champion. To come here and put in my work, with all the respect I have for him -- I knew it would be a hard fight. Im just so happy, and I think Ive earned a title shot now.A Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, Maia has 12 submission wins in his career, including seven via rear-naked choke. A former middleweight title contender, he is 8-2 since dropping to the welterweight division.Condit (30-10), who fights out of Jackson-Wink MMA in Albuquerque, New Mexico, came out in a low stance in an effort to defend the takedown, but it did not make a difference. Maia took Condit down on his first attempt and moved him almost immediately to his back. Maia put Condit in a tight body triangle and calmly worked the left arm under the chin. Condit appeared to be close to going out before ultimately tapping.Condit, 32, has spoken openly about the possibility of retirement. He suffered a razor-thin loss by split decision to Lawler for the UFC championship in January.Current champion Tyron Woodley has been campaigning for a fight against former champion Georges St-Pierre, although UFC president Dana White has said the next shot will go to Stephen Thompson. Maia said he would be willing to wait for the winner of that fight.Pettis submits OliveiraIn his featherweight debut, former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis (19-5) made a huge statement by submitting grappling ace Charles Oliveira (21-6) via guillotine at 1:49 of the third round.Oliveira aggressively looked for takedowns throughout the 145-pound bout, and that ultimately worked against him in the finishing sequence. Pettis anticipated the Brazilian moving into hhis hips and locked in a tight guillotine that quickly produced a tap.dddddddddddd It is only the second submission loss of Oliveiras eight-year professional career.In the opening round, Pettis hurt Oliveira with two of his signature left kicks to the body. Wanting little to do with Pettis on the feet, Oliveira looked to set a high amount of pressure and was willing to fall to his back and defend after failed takedowns. Despite being hurt on the feet at times, Oliveira did take Pettis back several times in the first two rounds.Fighting out of Milwaukee, Pettis snapped a three-fight skid that began with a unanimous decision loss to Rafael dos Anjos in a lightweight championship fight in March 2015.VanZant records highlight-reel knockoutStrawweight Paige VanZant (7-2) scored an electrifying knockout over Bec Rawlings (7-5) at 17 seconds of Round 2, dropping Rawlings with a jump switch kick.VanZant, 22, sat out the first half of 2016 to appear on ABCs Dancing with the Stars, but looked comfortable in her return fight. She circled away from Rawlings for much of the opening round and took the worst of early exchanges, but was never hurt. VanZants outside movement forced Rawlings to pursue, and VanZant caught her by surprise early in the second round with the kick.Apparently, I needed a little of that dance movement, said VanZant, who has been known more for grappling skills than knockout power.Fighting out of Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, VanZant suffered the first loss of her UFC career in late 2015, which snapped a four-fight win streak.Miller takes split decision from LauzonLightweight Jim Miller (27-8) edged Joe Lauzon (26-12) via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29) in a rematch of a 2012 barn burner. Miller also won the first meeting by decision.Miller, out of Sparta, New Jersey, set the tone early with punches and kicks to the body. He rocked Lauzon with a left uppercut early in the third round, but had trouble defending takedowns throughout the contest. Lauzon actually finished the fight working on an armbar but ran out of time.The win has Miller riding his first win streak since 2014. It also moves him into a tie with Gleison Tibau for most wins in UFC lightweight history at 16. ' ' '
