    Less than two months after her third round submission victory over Miesha Tate at UFC 168, womens bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is set to once again step into the cage and defend her title. [b]Fake Air Max 90 Cheap[/b] . Rousey will put her perfect 8-0 record and hardware on the line against another undefeated fighter, 7-0 Sara McMann in the main event of UFC 170, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada on February 22nd. Though it is unusual to contest fights so close together, Rousey tells TSN.ca that she is more than ready to climb back into the octagon. "I started camp in shape so I was already impatient for the fight weeks ago," said Rousey to TSN.ca. "Last camp I came from the movies and had to get into shape. This camp I started in shape, so even though its really soon, I feel like could have fought even sooner." Despite the shorter training camp, the 27-year-old fighter hasnt altered much of her preparation heading into the fight. "We follow the same structure for every fight," said Rousey. "We work on different things according to who Im going to be fighting. We play it by ear, day by day depending on how Im feeling." For the first time in her MMA career, the Riverside, California native was forced to go longer than the first round to earn a victory, in her second fight against Tate. She feels that the extra time in the cage allowed her to confirm things about her fighting skills that she already knew, but never had the opportunity to display. "It was a good experience for me to be able to fight out of the first round because I felt that I wasnt getting tired as the rounds went on," said Rousey. "I felt like I was actually improving as the rounds went on. I was actually getting better, more disciplined and more technical as the rounds went on." "I got to show everyone that I do fight really well from my back, even though everyone assumed that I dont. Its good for me to prove it to myself even though I knew I was capable, it was good for me to experience acting it out in that setting." As far as fighting McMann, who enters the fight with an undefeated record and an amateur wrestling background, Rousey will be ready for any style she has to fight. "I always prepare for a five round brawl no matter who it is, I never walk out assuming Im going to win in 30 seconds," said Rousey. "I adapt to whatever my opponents tendencies are and Im always trying to improve myself as well." [b]Cheap Fake Jordan 1[/b] . Rockies manager Walt Weiss was unhappy, too. Weiss addressed the issue in a 15-minute meeting with his pitcher and catcher after the Rockies gave up 14 hits and lost 10-1. De La Rosa lasted only 4 1-3 innings and allowed five runs in his first opening-day start. [b]Cheap Fake Yeezy Boost 350[/b] . Kerr said he had dinner with Jackson, his former coach with Chicago and the new Knicks team president, on Friday night and they talked again Saturday. Kerr is in New York to work the game between the Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors for TNT.The Vancouver Canucks hope their dynamic offence can take advantage of the Pittsburgh Penguins thin roster as they look for a fifth win in six games tonight. Listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1040 Vancouver with coverage beginning at 2pm pt. Vancouver has been led by Henrik and Daniel Sedin, who are tied for tops on the team with 24 points. Daniel Sedin scored two power-play goals in a 4-3 win at Washington on Tuesday, helping the Canucks rebound from a 5-3 loss in Detroit on Sunday. Thats what good teams do, Daniel Sedin told Vancouvers official site. In this league, you start losing a few, all of a sudden youve lost four or five, and thats tough to get back from. I think were a group that realizes that, and were usually strong when we come off a loss. Ryan Millers steady play in net has been a significant factor in the Canucks success. He owns a 2.45 GAA - his best since 2009-10 - but has allowed seven goals in consecutive losses to Pittsburgh. Millers 3.28 GAA against the Penguins is his third-worst mark against any team. Fleury has won his last four matchups against the Canucks, with the last three coming in shootouts. The Pittsburgh Penguins regularly dispatch opponents with their high-powered offense. Lately, however, the victories have come through their goaltender. Marc-Andre Fleury looks to continue his strong play when the Penguins host the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night in a matchup between two of the NHLs top teams. Fleury recorded his league-leading fifth shutout Tuesday in a 1-0 win over visiting New Jersey. His 2.08 goals-against average is a career best for the 11-year veteran, and his shutout total matches a career high. Its nice to have five shutouts in December, Fleury, who haas a 1. [b]Cheap Air Max 270[/b]. 23 GAA in his last four victories, told the Penguins official website. It hasnt happened too often in my career. Its nice. Fleurys play has been a welcome plus for the offensive-minded Penguins, who have finished as a top-five scoring team each of the past three seasons and rank near the top of the NHL with 3.33 goals per game. Such is the benefit of having two of the leagues leading scorers in Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby. Malkin scored Tuesday and has picked up a point in eight of the last nine games, but Crosby has been held off the scoresheet in the past two after recording seven points over the previous three. Still, with 33 points, Crosby is on pace for the sixth 100-point season of his career. I think we can get better, Crosby said. Guys are working hard, theyre focused on trying to get better. You have to evaluate yourself based on making sure you execute on all the little things within the game. Weve done a good job being honest about that and making sure we improve in certain areas. The Penguins (17-5-2) will be tasked with replacing Chris Kunitz, who will miss at least two weeks with a fractured foot. Kunitz has nine goals and 11 assists and joins Pascal Dupuis (blood clot), Beau Bennett (lower body) and Kris Letang (groin) on the injury list. Defenseman Robert Bortuzzo will also sit out Thursday after receiving a two-game suspension for a hard hit Tuesday on Devils forward Jaromir Jagr. You cant dwell on the fact that guys are out, Crosby said. You need to make sure that you rally and find a way to win games. Some guys may have to accept more of a role or elevate their game. Were all in it together. So weve got to find a way to make sure we keep playing well. ' ' '
