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 his hips and locked in a tight guillotine that quickly produced a tap. 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.Fred Biletnikoff Womens Jersey . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others.

Clelin Ferrell Jersey .Y. - General manager Billy King says the Brooklyn Nets are looking to add a big man and confirmed the team worked out centre Jason Collins, who would become the first openly gay active NBA player if signed.EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings are preparing to be without running back Adrian Peterson for some time after he had surgery to repair the torn meniscus in his right knee Thursday.Asked Thursday if it was likely Peterson would miss months, not weeks, after his surgery in the Twin Cities, coach Mike Zimmer said, I would assume so.In a statement after Petersons surgery Thursday, the team said there were no additional injuries or issues noted in or surrounding the knee joint during the surgical procedure.On Wednesday, a source told ESPN that Peterson also had a torn lateral collateral ligament. The Vikings had denied that, and Peterson texted ESPNs Josina Anderson, no torn LCL.Peterson, who tore his meniscus when Green Bay Packers linebacker Kyler Fackrell tackled him in the third quarter of the Vikings win Sunday night, had surgery to repair his meniscus, rather than an operation to trim the torn cartilage, which might have brought him back in a matter of weeks. The rehab process for a repaired meniscus often takes three to four months, meaning Peterson could miss most, iif not all, of the 14 games the Vikings have left in the regular season.ddddddddddddThe team has not yet made a move to put Peterson on injured reserve. Jerick McKinnon will be the starting running back, and Matt Asiata will serve as the backup against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The running backs combined for 1,108 rushing yards in 2014 while Peterson missed 15 games because of NFL discipline.The Vikings, who put left tackle Matt Kalil on injured reserve with a hip injury Wednesday and lost Peterson this week, also will be without defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd on Sunday. Floyd, the No. 23 pick in the 2013 draft, has struggled with knee injuries during his four NFL seasons, and Zimmer said Thursday that Floyd had surgery to clean up cartilage in his right knee.Floyd, who didnt play Sunday against the Packers, also had surgery to remove cartilage from his left knee last November, meaning he has had procedures on both knees within the last 12 months.
