be the upset of the year no doubt but no

Veteran Canadian lightweight Mark Bocek, who used to school the UFCs ownership in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, has retired from mixed martial arts fighting. The 32-year-old from Woodbrige, Ont., made his UFC debut in June 2007 when he lost to Frankie (The Answer) Edgar. Bocek (12-5) went to compile an 8-5 record in the UFC. He exits on a win, beating Mike De La Torre via split decision in Quebec City in April in his first fight since November 2012 due to injury. He announced his retirement via Twitter. "Im retiring from pro mma. I would like to thank everyone who has helped me and supported me throughout this journey. Onto the next chapter," he wrote. Boceks career included fights against two future champions in Edgar and Benson Henderson, who won a decision over the Canadian at UFC 129. Bocek won three of his last four UFC fights, never lost two in a row and finished with a 7-3 record on Canadian soil. A black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and karate, Bocek started training in BJJ after seeing UFC 2 in 1994. He became involved with UFC president Dana White and co-owners Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, who took up Brazilian jiu-jitsu after buying the UFC in 2001. Bocek was in Las Vegas training with their instructor John Lewis and was brought along to help out with the lessons. "He used to come in and smack us around, submit us every 13 seconds," White recalled in a 2008 interview with The Canadian Press. Boceks modus operandi was to use his fists or a takedown to get the fight on the ground, where he would use his world-class grappling skills. At UFC 124 in Montreal, he tied up Dustin Hazelett -- a talented black belt of his own -- like a pretzel. He tripped the lanky American 15 seconds in, then countered Hazeletts rubber guard before passing guard and improving position until he got into the mount position. Seeing an opening, he moved up Hazelett and wrapped his legs around his head, rolling him over and locking in a triangle choke. Bocek administered a few elbows to the head for good measure and then tightened the choke until Hazelett had to tap. Bocek wont stop moving in retirement. He is a motorcycle devotee.

The Big Man finished 4-0 in Week 16, and sits at 43-22 on the season. Now Schultz is ready for more action. Ottawa Redblacks at Hamilton Tiger-Cats Friday Night Football with Ottawa at Hamilton. Ottawa may only have two wins in the season but it’s still great to have them in the league. If we could EVER get that ever-elusive 10th team on the East Coast of Canada, CFL football would really be something special. Just the inclusion of the East would make scheduling so much easier and geographical representation so much more attractive. I do not think Hamilton will take Ottawa lightly coming of the 41-3 loss, quite the opposite. With their one point loss, Hamilton might have to win outright to win the East as the rest of the schedule goes Ottawa, at Toronto, at Ottawa and finally Montreal at home. Yes, like both Montreal and Toronto, Hamilton can have a 10 win season. But it has to start Friday night. I’m taking the Ticats. Montreal Alouettes at Toronto Argonauts 6-8 vs. 6-8, who wants it most? I think the Alouettes have the better team but Toronto has the better quarterback. No matter the situation or circumstance, Ricky Ray just keeps grinding away and before you know it what was a deficit is now a lead and what was a lead has been enhanced. Lost in the Montreal win was only 12 passes completed by Jonathan Crompton in 25 attempts. Lost in the Argos win was Rays 34 completions on 45 attempts. Usually I take the best team to win but this may be the game Crompton has to, but cant.dddddddddddd Ray has proven over and over he can. Quarterback advantage. Toronto over Montreal. Calgary Stampeders at Winnipeg Blue Bombers I just cant see it happening, Winnipeg winning that is. With Calgary coming off the bye, Bo Levi Mitchell back, and Jon Cornish as healthy as he is going to be, I just cant see it happening. It would be the upset of the year no doubt but not enough rock solid line of scrimmage players for Winnipeg, and too many for Calgary. At 12-2, the Stampeders are getting close to having the flexibility of playing who they want, but with four weeks to go you will see all starters involved. Nobody has allowed fewer points than Calgary (263) and only Edmonton has scored more points than Calgary 2nd (392). But Edmonton has played 15 games, Calgary 14. You know Mitchell wants to re-establish his own confidence and enhance the confidence of those around him. First place is waiting, I’m taking the Stampeders. Edmonton Eskimos at Saskatchewan Roughriders I’m not sure, or more accurately I have no idea what the Roughriders are going to do at quarterback. Tino Sunseri knows the offence the best, Seth Doege is a wildcard, and now 41-year-old Kerry Joseph is part of the mix. I do think pretty much everything else is there except for the most important thing. Edmonton looked good destroying Winnipeg. Very focused and aggressive, they played like the Eskimos of early 2014, not midpoint of 2014. The home crowd will help against a Roughriders team very much needing a win. Cant see it though, I’m going with the Eskimos. Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
