UFC Fight Night 59 Donald Cerrone def. Benson Henderson

After suffering losses to Henderson in 2009 and 2010, Cerrone entered the third bout with “Smooth” as an injury replacement just 15 days after fighting at UFC 182. While it wasn’t his most convincing performance, “Cowboy” walked away with a unanimous decision victory.Maybe it was fitting that Cerrone, and not Henderson, got the somewhat surprising nod from the judges this time, since this was a fight with no shortage of role reversals. While Henderson is usually the one looking for takedowns and his opponents the ones to fend them off, this time it was Cerrone who accounted for the wrestling in the fight, taking Henderson down twice. In another twist, it was Henderson who did the majority of his work with kicks, included some unorthodox attacks to Cerrone’s thighs, as well as some hard shots to the body. All of that added up to a perplexing offense that Cerrone struggled to figure out. When he charged in at Henderson, he often found himself swinging at air. When he hung back and got caught reacting to feints, he ended up on the receiving end of some unpredictable striking.Henderson staying busy with front-leg side kicks, but they're not landing with much.

LeBron James Coach Pushes David Blatt to the sideline against Phoenix Suns


Cleveland Cavaliers head coach David Blatt knows how important LeBron James is to the team both in terms of morale and on-court ability. When the King picked up a highly questionable offensive foul while tied up with Marcus Morris during a contest with the host Phoenix Suns Tuesday night, Blatt got heated in the ref's face. In the Cleveland Cavaliers' first half against the Suns Tuesday, David Blatt was consulting with an official about a call. LeBron James wanted to go ahead and get the play started, and didnt' want his coach to pick up a tech. And so LeBron, being the helpful guy he is, escorted Blatt to the sideline, some might say pushing him to the sideline so the Suns could inbound the ball.After the game, Blatt and James downplayed the exchange, with Blatt explaining that James was trying to prevent him from receiving a technical foul.But some saw it differently while watching the game ... as evidence that James has little regard for Blatt and isn't listening to him. Others targeted James for scorn, saying he overstepped his bounds. It likely is much ado about nothing. NBA writer Matt Moore of CBSSports.com recalls that James caused an uproar during his first season with the Miami Heat when he bumped into coach Erik Spoelstra. That worked out OK: They went to four straight NBA Finals, won two titles and Spoelstra is still coaching the Heat.

Ndamukong Suh Stepped on Aaron Rodgers' Injured Calf (Video) 28/12/2014


Last week, Detroit center Dominic Raiola grabbed some unwanted attention after stomping on the ankle of Chicago Bears defensive tackle Ego Ferguson. Raiola was suspended one game for his actions.In Week 17, the focus shifted to Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.This one will likely be much discussed. Aaron Rodgers has an injured calf, leaving the game at one point, and with the Lions trailing by two touchdowns and Rodgers going to the ground, Suh stepped on him.Suh has a reputation for being one of the dirtiest players in the league for repeatedly doing things like this. He is so bad that teammates have said he even does it in practice. Add to the equation that Rodgers is playing with a calf injury that was bad enough to force him to leave the game earlier, and you really have to figure Suh did it intentionally.

Acy hit Wall with a hard foul in the 4th and John Wall got up and shoved Acy.Both Acy and Knicks coach Derek Fisher said that Acy did not throw a punch at Wall. "I didn't throw a punch.

The Knicks' next game is on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings. When asked about a possible suspension, Acy said, "I hope not. What was done wrong?"

Wall took exception to the hard foul and gave Acy a shove. After that, Acy either threw a punch or gave a hard shove. It's hard to tell. Wall got right up and shoved back, to which Acy responded by throwing a right hook that just missed the back of Wall’s head.Wall was hit with a technical foul for his retaliation, but Acy was handed a flagrant 2 and tossed from the game. It’s been that kind of season for the Knicks, who now have lost 16 of their last 17 games.
