LAS VEGAS -- Until this year, Miesha Tate seemed destined to spend her career in Ronda Rouseys shadow. Cheap Redskins Jerseys . She persevered for several years as the second-best fighter in her emerging sport, twice failing to stop Rouseys remarkable rise to stardom.Everything changed in the past few months after Tate finally got her break, choking Holly Holm unconscious to win the UFC bantamweight title.And then this week, she got a few more breaks. Thanks to Jon Jones positive drug test, Tate suddenly finds herself in the incredible position of fighting in the main event at the landmark UFC 200.Its such a great opportunity to deliver an excellent performance and really represent womens MMA, Tate said of the chance to fight on the main pay-per-view card. Thats what Im all about. I want to go out there and I want to defend my belt, and I want to make a statement that womens MMA is awesome.UFC 200 was absolutely stacked with stars even before Anderson Silva agreed to replace Jones on two days notice against Daniel Cormier. Nine current or former UFC champions are on the biggest pay-per-view show of the summer.But on a night also featuring Brock Lesnars return from a 4 1/2-month MMA absence and a tantalizing interim featherweight title bout between Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar, Tates bantamweight title defense against Amanda Nunes has been promoted to the main event Saturday. UFC President Dana White said he wanted to show respect to Tate, the only undisputed champion risking her belt.I feel theres a lot pressure on me, but the thing that I really like about that is I know it, Tate said. I accept it, and I know that I thrive well under pressure.Just four months after winning the belt that Holm took from Rousey, Tate is on top of the 135-pound division at the moment it gets hit with mixed martial arts brightest spotlight.And then Tate (18-5) barely made weight Friday morning, desperately cutting ounces until she jumped on the scale moments before the deadline. After a few hours to hydrate, Tate was reinvigorated by the thought of fighting Nunes (12-4).Im going to go out there (Saturday) and Im going to rip her heart out of her chest and stomp on it, Tate said with a grin.Not much has come easy for Tate, but she perseveres.She picked up MMA in 2005 after a high school wrestling career, and she fought in a series of minor-league promotions for little more than pride.Tate fought Rousey in 2012 and 2013, losing by armbar both times. She seemed stuck -- unable to beat the biggest star in the sport, but better than just about everybody else. But Tate kept grinding and won her next five fights.When Holm thrashed Rousey, the star boxer seemed unbeatable -- but Tate beat her in March with patience and canny fighting skills, luring the superior striker into an inescapable choke. At 29, she was finally a champion.Tate has been enjoying the spoils of her title, appearing on Good Morning America and Conan. Yet she also turns down many more opportunities, including chances to add to her fledgling acting credits after appearing in a recent film.Tate is mindful of the way Rouseys public persona exploded shortly before Holm kicked her in the head and ended her title reign.You have to keep your eyes focused on the task at hand, Tate said. You have to ask yourself, `What do I really want? To me, the most important thing is to defend my belt. Its not making movies. If those things can fall into place in a time when it makes sense, then great. But in the middle of my training camp, youve just got to tell them no.Her current task is Nunes, a Brazilian veteran on a three-fight winning streak. Tate claims she was surprised when her next bout wasnt a rematch with Holm, but she accepted the matchup.She also hopes for a third fight with Rousey, who hasnt fought since losing in November and shows little indication that shes hungry to get back on the MMA grind.I would be disappointed if (Rousey) doesnt come back, if I dont get that opportunity, Tate said. There would be a void that didnt get filled. I hope thats not the case. But if it is, life goes on.UFC 200s pay-per-view card begins with heavyweights Cain Velasquez and Travis Browne. The undercard features former bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw, former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks and several other title contenders alongside surefire crowd-pleasing fights featuring Joe Lauzon, Diego Sanchez, Jim Miller and Takanori Gomi. Elite Redskins Jerseys . William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period. Camo Redskins Jerseys .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. http://www.officialredskinsnflauthenticshop.com/ . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. The Jets played a game of running back roulette Tuesday, claiming Knile Davis on waivers and later deciding to release him after agreeing to terms with free agent C.J. Spiller.The Jets will officially put Davis on waivers at 4 p.m. Wednesday, according to a source. At that time, they will sign Spiller, who will join Matt Forte and Bilal Powell in the backfield.It has been a whirlwind two weeks for Davis, who was traded Oct. 18 by the Kansas City Chiefs to the Green Bay Packers. He played in two games, carrying the ball only five times for 5 yards before he was sent packing by the Packers on Monday.The Jets already were in negotiations with Spiller, but they hadnt received a commitment when Davis became available on waivers, a source said. A few hours after acquiring Davis on waivers, the Jets agreed to terms with Spiller, prompting the decision to release Davis.Spiller, too, has been on the go.He was released by the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 13, a little more than a year into a four-year, $18 million contract. The Jets actually brought him in for a workout, but he signed with the Seattle Seaahawks and promptly scored a touchdown against the Jets in their Week 4 matchup. Throwback Redskins Jerseys. Spiller lasted only a month with the Seahawks, rushing three times for 9 yards and catching five passes. He will be reunited with his former Buffalo Bills coach, Chan Gailey, the Jets offensive coordinator.Spillers best season came under Gailey in 2012, when he rushed for 1,244 yards and averaged 6.0 yards per carry. The Jets considered Spiller as a free agent in March 2015, but they decided to re-sign Powell, a free agent at the time.The Jets could use Spiller as a kickoff returner. Theyre fourth in the NFL in kickoff-return average, but the production has lagged in recent weeks with rookie Jalin Marshall.Forte (chronic knee) and Powell (turf toe) also have been dealing with injuries, so Spiller provides depth in the backfield.To make room for Davis, the Jets waived rookie running back Troymaine Pope.NFL Network first reported news of the Spiller signing and Davis release.?
