HALIFAX - Going from fan to fighter in five days, Chris (The Greek Assassin) Kelades made Canadian UFC history Saturday night. Kelades, a local flyweight replacing an injured fighter on the UFC televised Fight Night show, only found out Monday that he was on the card that he had bought tickets to see.He came into the fight against Patrick (The Hooligan) Holohan as a 3-1 or 4-1 underdog. But he emerged victorious, winning a unanimous 29-28 decision over the previously undefeated Irish fighter.In addition to the win, the only Nova Scotian on the card made history by becoming the first Canadian 125-pounder to fight in the UFC.Kelades, from nearby Cole Harbour, walked out to Jimi Hendrixs All Along the Watchtower and got a rock-star reception of his own from the soldout hometown crowd at the Scotiabank Centre.It was great, he said. It was a moment where I was starting to just get a little too excited and I was like OK, bring it down a little bit. Youve got to get the job done. And then you can kind of let it all hang out.But it was amazing. To know thats for you was pretty phenomenal.Both Kelades and Holohan earned an extra US$50,000 after their bout was named fight of the night.With veteran UFC lightweight T.J. Grant in his corner, the scrappy Kelades went after the bigger Holohan and got his attention with a straight right hand. But he ended the first round fighting off a choke with the Irish fighter on his back.In the second, Kelades (8-1) rammed a series of knees into Holohan, with the crowd cheering every one as if it was the main event. Kelades ended the round attempting an armbar after pounding away from the mount position.Holohan (10-1-1) needed work from his corner between rounds. But the Irish fighter, who had the benefit of his own home-town crowd when he won in Dublin in July, was smiling as the third round began.Kelades kept coming forward, taking Holohan down and blunting his offence as the crowd cheered him on.When the fight ended, he got up from the floor and put his hand in the air while the crowd gave him a standing ovation. He then ran around the cage with the Nova Scotia flag.Kelades admitted he was closer to 150 pounds than 140 pound when the UFC call came, triggering a condensed weight cut.He showed that at Fridays weigh-in, towelling every bead of sweat off before stripping naked and getting on the scale behind a towel.There was no such happy ending for Matt Dwyer of Kelowna, B.C., another UFC debutante.New Jersey-based Russian Albert (Einstein) Tumenov iced Dwyer with two kicks to the head — not easy against a six-foot-four welterweight. Dwyer amazingly got after the first — which slammed into his face with a thud — but was immediately felled again and the fight was stopped after 63 seconds.Dwyer (7-2) paused to watch the replay of the kicks as he made his way from the cage, an ugly mouse under his eye. He was taken to hospital after the bout to be checked out.Dwyer had won five straight before running into Tumenov (14-2).Charlottetown lightweight Jason Saggo (10-2) lost a split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) to Paul (The Irish Dragon) Felder (9-0). Montreal lightweight Olivier Aubin-Mercier (6-1) submitted Jake (The Librarian) Lindsay (9-2) by inverted triangle choke at 3:22 of the second round.Canadian Rory (Ares) MacDonald, ranked No. 2 among welterweight contenders, faced former Strikeforce champion Tarec (Sponge) Saffiedine, ranked ninth, in the main event.Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Air Max 97 Silver Bullet For Sale . -- With the Memphis Grizzlies struggling to find their offensive rhythm, O.

The Vancouver right-winger scored his first and second goals of an injury-marred season as the Canucks defeated the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 in a shootout Wednesday night. Chris Higgins had the only goal in the shootout as Vancouver (30-28-10) handed the Jets (30-28-9) their fifth straight loss. Burrows was playing in only his 36th game this season after breaking a foot to start the season and then breaking his jaw in December. "I hit a few posts, a few saves, a few rebounds, a few empty nets that should have gone in," Burrows said. "Its a fine line between goals and not. "Tonight I was able to get a few. Even though, honestly, I could have got four, I think. I hit the post, a few tips that they blocked and a two-on-one in the first my stick breaks." But Vancouver suffered another injury blow when centre Ryan Kesler left the game in the second period after a knee-on-knee collision with Jets centre Jim Slater. Canucks head coach John Tortorella said Kesler will be sent back to Vancouver for tests while his teammates keep travelling to games against Washington, Florida and Tampa Bay. "Hes going to get some imaging and well have a better indication of where hes at, but hes out for a while," Tortorella said. Slater said he didnt intentionally try to hurt Kesler. "I thought I had him lined up, he kind of bailed there at the last second there," Slater said. "I didnt stick my knee out or anything in his path, wasnt leading with my leg. I thought I actually took the worst of it. "Obviously, if hes hurt bad, I feel bad about that. It wasnt any intent. I thought I had him lined up and at the last second he tried to jump out of the way." Higgins scored the decisive goal with some quick stick-handling on his way toward Ondrej Pavelec, flipping the puck by him after the netminder went down. Andrew Ladd scored his 18th goal of the season and Michael Frolik added his 13th that put the Jets ahead 2-1 early in the third period.dddddddddddd Burrows had tied the game 2-2 at 11:17 of the third period. Vancouver is now 2-4-1 in their last seven games. The game was a big improvement for the Canucks, who collapsed on Monday and gave up seven goals in the third period in a 7-4 loss to the New York Islanders. Pavelec stopped 30 of the 32 shots he faced in regulation and overtime, while Eddie Lack made 31 saves for Vancouver. Lack had let in six goals in the embarrassing loss to the Islanders. "I just needed a big bounce-back game and I was really happy we got the win," Lack said. The Canucks now have 70 points and Winnipeg 69 as they battle for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Dallas holds the last wild-card berth with 74 points. Phoenix has 73. The Stars and Coyotes were idle Wednesday night. The Jets are 0-2-3 in their last five and host the New York Rangers on Friday. "We got opportunities to get the second point there the last couple games. Weve got to start getting them," said Jets rookie defenceman Jacob Trouba, who logged almost 28 minutes of ice time. "Those are points were letting slip away. Its good that we get one and we look at the positives and try to think about that, but at the same time its at the back of your mind -- youve got to get those points that youre letting go." Vancouver outshot Winnipeg 14-9 in the scoreless first period, but the Jets outshot the Canucks 16-5 in the third. Vancouver was 0 for 5 on the power play and the Jets went 0 for 4. "I thought we played hard right on through, and thats two out the last three games weve played well in the third period so good for them," Tortorella said. "Theyve hung in, theyve hung together. Losing a big guy like Kes, I thought they stuck together as a group. It was real nice to see." Notes: Henrik Sedin was marking a major milestone, playing in his 1,000th NHL game, all with Vancouver. He was drafted third overall by the Canucks in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. ' ' '
