LAS VEGAS, Nev. - UFC newcomer Cody (No Love) Garbrandt knocked out bantamweight Marcus (The Bama Beast) Brimage with 10 seconds remaining in an all-action fight Saturday night on the undercard of UFC 182.Garbrandt, who went 32-1 as an amateur boxer, floored Brimage (7-4) with a left and a right in the third-latest stoppage of a three-round UFC bantamweight fight.The main event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena featured the light-heavyweight title grudge match between champion Jon (Bones) Jones and Daniel (DC) Cormier.Garbrandt (6-0) becomes the ninth fighter from the Team Alpha Male camp in Sacramento to earn a UFC win. The gym is home to bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw and former WEC title-holder Urijah (The California Kid) Faber.The 23-year-old Garbrandt, a slight underdog, absorbed two kicks to the groin in the first round. But he rallied to wobble Brimage as the first round ended, saying later he thought he broke his right hand in the round.The second started with both fighters throwing plenty of punches in a back-and-forth round that saw Garbrandt drops his hands and egg Brimage on. Get your hands up, yelled Garbrandts corner.The third was more of the same as the two 135-pounders chased each other around the cage with bad intentions. Brimage pushed the pace and paid for it as Garbrandt tagged him and eventually put him away.Four of Garbrandts previous five fights ended in the first round and he has yet to go the distance, although he came close Saturday.Unbeaten Paul (The Irish Dragon) Felder closed out the undercard in spectacular fashion by knocking out veteran lightweight Danny (Last Call) Castillo, another Team Alpha Male fighter, with a spinning back fist at 2:09 of the second round.As Castillo (17-8) launched a kick, Felder (10-0) turned away and then kept revolving to throw the spinning back fist. Castillo fell backwards and eventually had to helped onto his stool.Felder, from Philadelphia, won a split decision over Canadian Jason Saggo last time out in Halifax. He was slated to fight later this month in Boston but stepped up to face Felder after Rustam Khabilov withdrew through injury.He looked razor-sharp in handling Castillo, whose UFC record fell to 7-5Lightweight Evan Dunham (15-6) lived up to his 6-1 odds by punishing Brazils Rodrigo Damm with strikes en route to a unanimous 30-27 decision. Damm (12-9) slapped himself several times in the dying moments of the fight, as if to say Dunhams punches were not hurting him. But the blood on his face told a different story.At the end of the third round I knew I was behind on the judges scorecards so I tried to taunt Evan into an exchange, Damm explained later. Both men badly needed a win. Dunham had lost three straight while Damm, a former world champion in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, had lost his last two.Former LSU fullback Shawn (The Savage) Jordan, a six-foot load at 261 pounds, knocked out UFC newcomer Jared (Tha Killa Gorilla) Cannonier at 2:57 of the first round and then defied gravity by doing a backflip in the cage. Jordan felled Cannonier (7-1) with a right to the back of the head and then finished him off with strikes on the ground.I would really like to fight someone whos ranked higher than me next, Jordan said. Its time for me to start climbing the ladder.The 30-year-old Cannonier, whose day job is repairing air traffic control equipment for the Federal Aviation Administration in Anchorage, took two months off work to prepare for the fight, raising more than $6,000 through gofundme.com to pay for his Arizona training camp.At 235 pounds, Cannonier was giving up 26 pounds. He did well until Jordan (17-6) caught him.Russian welterweight Omari Akhmedov (14-2) spoiled Mat Nilssons debut at welterweight, taking a unanimous 29-28 decision over the Danish-based Swede. Akhmedov slowed as the fight progressed and Nilsson (11-4-1), a former world champion grappler, was trying to lock up a Darce choke when the fight ended.Bantamweight Marion (The Belizean Bruiser) Reneau, a hard-nosed high school teacher making her UFC debut at the age of 37, used her superior striking skills to bloody up Alexis (Sneaky Zebra) Dufresne (5-2) en route to a lopsided unanimous (30-26, 30-26, 30-25) decision.Whos next? Reneau (5-1) said after the fight.___Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Ryan Zimmerman Nationals Jersey . -- Washington Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo is going to the Pro Bowl as a replacement for San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks.

Lang each sat out practice Wednesday with injuries suffered the last time the Packers played, a 44-23 loss at New Orleans on Oct. 26. Sitton and Lang are the Packers best offensive linemen, and the longest-tenured players on what coach Mike McCarthy considers one of best front fives in his nine seasons in Green Bay.Now, there are questions about the line going into Sunday nights NFC North showdown against the Chicago Bears.The best offensive lines in my opinion are the ones that play week in and week out. The timing, the communication, particularly the non-verbal communication, happens so fast at the line of scrimmage, so its definitely a big part of the flow of your offence, McCarthy said.Lang was carted off the field in New Orleans with a left ankle injury. Sitton said he may have torn a ligament in his left big toe in the second half of the same game, but gutted it out through the end.First few days, it was pretty swollen and pretty sore. So its come a long way, said Sitton, the left guard.How Sitton and Lang respond to treatment the next few days will be telling about whether they will be available Sunday.At least the Packers got Rodgers back for the first full practice after the bye. Rodgers, who tweaked his hamstring while scrambling against the Saints, followed a rehab program during the off week and got acupuncture to help with the injury.McCarthy said his franchise quarterback looked good at practice. Still, some dynamics have changed since the Bears and Packers last met on Sept. 28, a 38-17 win for Green Bay at Soldier Field.Besides the uncertainty on the line, the Bears figure to have Jared Allen back; the veteran defensive lineman missed the teams first meeting with an illness. While not a real running threat, Rodgers does rely on his mobility to help extend plays.Asked about compensating for potentially being without Lang and Sitton or being cautious with his hamstring, Rodgers said Well, I take care of my body pretty well, and I trust that by Sunday that its not going to be an issue.ddddddddddddI just have to play my game and if something happens I might dial it back a little bit, Rodgers said.But hes having such a good season that dialing it back for Rodgers might mean an average year for anyone else.Rodgers leads the league with a 113.6 passer rating. He has thrown 19 touchdowns in helping lead the Packers to a 5-3 record, which included a six-game stretch without an interception.What makes the season more impressive is that Green Bay hasnt had the production expected out of the running game with Eddie Lacy and James Starks. That in part is due to a lack of opportunities with the Packers up-tempo offence scoring on quick-strike drives.While receivers Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb have been torturing secondaries, rookie wideout Davante Adams is still emerging as a third target. Also, Green Bay hasnt had a consistent threat at tight end since Jermichael Finley got knocked out last season by a neck injury.Well, its just about finding the right matchups for us, whatever that might be. Jordy and Randall have had a lot of targets go their way. Theyve been open a lot, Rodgers said. But you know this is a progression offence, as the West Coast offences are, and Im going to go through (them) and look for the guy thats open.Notes: The Packers did get three defensive starters at practice with safety Morgan Burnett (calf), cornerback Sam Shields (knee) and end Datone Jones (ankle) all returning at full participation. Rodgers was also officially listed as a full participant. ... Green Bay signed guard Jordan McCray to the practice squad while releasing running back Michael Hill. ... The team announced that is testing the addition of 200 standing-room only tickets for the first time for the next two games, against the Bears followed by the Eagles. That would increase Lambeau Fields capacity to 80,935. The tickets are priced at $75.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Genaro Armas at http://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' ' big Belgian on deadline day when Lukaku joined on loan. The style the manager is preaching is easy on the eyes for football fans but in order for it to be successful he needs a goal-scorer.
