Just 29, Canadian lightweight Sam (Hands of Stone) Stout is celebrating an anniversary of sorts at UFC 161. He made his pro debut as an MMA fighter 10 years ago this month at a show in Cicero, Ill., where he was choked out in the first round by Jay Estrada. "I do feel a little bit old sometimes," conceded the 155-pounder from London, Ont. "Especially when you see some of these younger guys coming up that are so good, in their early 20s still. Its like Wow, I remember when that was me. "But its a cool feeling. Its something Im proud of, the fact that Ive withstood the test of time." Stout (20-8-1) has lasted more than seven years in the UFC, making his debut at UFC 58 back in March 2006. The only other Canadian fighters active in the UFC who started earlier are welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre (UFC 46), bantamweight Ivan (The Pride of El Salvador) Menjivar (UFC 48) and middleweight-turned-welterweight Patrick (The Predator) Cote (UFC 50). Stouts Octagon record is 8-7 heading into Saturdays fight with James Krause (19-4) as the UFC visits the Manitoba capital for the first time. Krause, a late injury replacement for Isaac Vallie-Flagg, is making his UFC debut after going 0-2 in the WEC. Stout has alternated wins and losses his last five fights but has kept his place in the organization because he always comes ready to bang. He has won six bonuses, one for knockout of the night and five for fight of the night. The bonus cheques have helped him pay for his Dads driveway, buy his car outright, put a down payment on a house and open a gym. Stout, a former kick-boxer, has looked to evolve in recent years. He took Spencer (The King) Fisher down four times in winning their rubber match last June. The overall takedown count is 27-6 against Stout in his UFC career, but only 5-5 in his last four fights. "I used to be able to rely on my striking and I still do to an extent," said Stout. "But everyones striking is getting to such a high level that if I dont work on my wrestling and my jiu-jitsu and throw it into the game plan, then Im at a real disadvantage." Stout credits Rowan Cunningham, the head grappling coach, and others at the Adrenaline Training Center -- which Stout co-owns -- for helping expand his game. He has also upped his cardio training after feeling he flagged somewhat in his split decision win over Caros Fodor at UFC 157 in February. The fighter had to expand his training options after the 2011 death of Shawn Tompkins, his longtime coach, friend and brother-in-law. When Stout fought with Tompkins in his corner, it was as if the two shared a brain. Tomkins would yell out instructions and, no matter the crowd noise, Stout would immediately respond. Stout has tried a few coaching options since and speaks fondly of his time with Mark DellaGrotte in Boston (before his fight with John Makdessi at UFC 154). But these days, he prefers to sleep in his own bed and train at his own gym, although he has also worked out at Para Bellum MMA in Oakville, Ont. He admits it is a hard way to make a living, but says the positives outweigh the negatives. "There are times definitely where you wake up and youre sore and every part of your body aches and youve still go to go to the gym and people are punching you in the face," he said. "There are times when its not that fun, Ill be honest. And there are times where you think you hate it. "But when you take a step back and put it all in perspective and look at your life overall, its a pretty good gig. I work out for a living. I get to fight in front of a million people, which can be a little stressful but when its all said and done, its a pretty exciting thing that not a lot of people will ever get to do. "The kids at the gym look up to you. Theres a lot of perks that are involved with being a professional fighter that I try not to take for granted." Sebastian Aho Jersey . Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said. Scott Darling Jersey .

Joakim Nordstrom Jersey . -- In a span of seven Washington Redskins offensive plays, Justin Tuck sacked Robert Griffin III four times. GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Exposing the nations sharp political divisions as Election Day nears, supporters of Republican Donald Trump repeatedly interrupted President Barack Obama on Tuesday as he urged North Carolina Democrats to take advantage of early voting and cast their presidential ballots for Democrat Hillary Clinton.Obama also delivered a sharp indictment of Republicans who continue to support Trumps bid despite hearing him on a recently released video recording from 2005 talking in vulgar terms about making unwanted sexual advances toward women.The fact that now youve got people saying, `Well, we strongly disapprove. We really disagree. We find those comments disgusting. But were still endorsing him. We still think he should be president. That doesnt make sense to me, Obama told several thousand people at a raucous outdoor rally.Now I hear then some people saying, `Well, Im a Christian so Im all about forgiveness because nobodys perfect, Obama said. Well, that is true. I am certainly not perfect ... and I, too, believe in forgiveness and redemption, but that doesnt mean Im going to elect the person president.House Speaker Paul Ryan said he was sickened by Trumps comments on the recording, and he rescinded an invitation for Trump to join him at a weekend rally in his Wisconsin congressional district. But Ryan has not pulled his endorsement of Trump, as some other Republicans have. Still, he has told fellow House Republicans he would not defend Trump or campaign with him and would focus on protecting the House GOP majority.Obama said some Republicans were trying to have it both ways.You cant repeatedly denounce what is said by someone and then say, `But Im still going to endorse him to be the most powerful person on the planet and put them in charge, he said.Several minutes after Obama started speaking, a young man and a woman who appeared to be Trump supporters moved toward the stage and revealed T-shirts that said Bill Clinton Rapist. They were quickly escorted out by security.Immediately before Sundays presidential debate in St. Louis, Trump appeared with three women who have accused former President Bill Clinton of committing sexual crimes against them. Clinton was never charged in those cases. The women later attended the debate.Obama joked that the protesters were auditioning for a reality show. Trump is the former host of the NBC reality show The Apprentice.After the president resumed speaking, someone could be heard shouting Bill Clinton is a rapist. Minutes after that outburst, a man ripped up one of the blue North Carolina Togethher placards that attendees were given to wave during the rally.ddddddddddddThis is our democracy at work. This is great, Obama said, as the largely supportive crowd began to boo.Obama contrasted Clintons experience, qualifications and penchant for sweating the details with Trump, who Obama said doesnt have the temperament, judgment, knowledge or basic honesty a president needs to have. And that was true even before we heard about his attitudes toward women.Obama also criticized Trump for threatening during Sundays debate to jail Clinton for using nongovernment email servers when she was secretary of state in Obamas first term, without the benefit of a trial or due process.Obama said the U.S. has stood in contrast and in opposition to those kinds of ideas and, I frankly never thought Id see the day when wed have a major party candidate who would be promoting those kinds of notions.He urged those in audience to vote, saying youve got everything to lose in the Nov. 8 election and that civility is on the ballot, as well as respect for women, tolerance and even democracy.If you want to send a message in this election, make it a resounding message: Turn back the forces of racism and misogyny, Obama said.The stop in North Carolina, parts of which are experiencing record flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, marked the first of three appearances the president has scheduled this week in battleground states in the White House race. The president canceled a Clinton campaign event last week in Miami because of the approaching storm. Polls indicate the presidential race is extremely close in North Carolina.On Thursday, Obama is scheduled to travel to Pittsburgh to address a White House event on the future of innovation in the U.S. and around the world. That evening, he is scheduled to address the Ohio Democratic Partys annual dinner in Columbus. He campaigns again for Clinton in Cleveland on Friday.Obama opened his remarks by reflecting on Hurricane Matthews toll of death and destruction in North Carolina.Thoughts and prayer are with the folks who are still dealing with rivers that are overflown, homes that are being flooded, he said. He urged everyone to look out for each other, no matter what.Obama spoke to Gov. Pat McCrory by telephone on Tuesday, the White House said. He also signed a federal disaster declaration for the state on Monday.---Follow Darlene Superville on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/dsupervilleap Cheap Adidas Hockey Jerseys Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Baseball Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys China Stitched NFL Jerseys Cheap Custom Jerseys China Cheap Basketball Jerseys Authentic NFL Jerseys China Cheap College Jerseys Wholesale Football Jerseys ' ' '
