LAS VEGAS -- Canadian Alexis Davis modestly describes her fighting skills as "a little of this, a little bit of that." "Doesnt matter where the fight ends up, Im pretty comfortable in all positions," she said. The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., who fights out of San Jose, looks to use all those tools Saturday against womens bantamweight (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey in the co-main event of UFC 175. Rousey (9-0) is the gold standard of womens MMA. An Olympic bronze medallist in judo, she has gone on to dominate the womens side of mixed martial arts in defending her 135-pound UFC title three times. As such, the bookmakers see Rousey as anywhere from a 9-1 to 17-1 favourite against Davis despite the fact both women are 3-0 in the UFC. Rousey tells a different story. "Shes the most well-rounded fighter Ive ever come up against," she said at a public workout Wednesday. "Ive always had someone whos predominantly a grappler or striker, who always had that weak area to bring them to. Alexis really doesnt have a weak area, so I just have to be better than her everywhere." Davis (16-5) has black belts in Brazilian and Japanese jiu-jitsu. And the scars around her eyes show she is not afraid to mix it up. While quiet by nature, Davis is savouring the buildup to the championship bout. "I feel like Im on a rush right now, kind of soaking everything, just enjoying myself," she said. She will have plenty of support from north of the border, with some 20 family and friends expected to fly down to Vegas. "Its incredible," she said. "Im just happy to have them watching on TV. For them to come out, its awesome that they support me." Her husband Flavio Ralf Meier doubles as her Brazilian jiu-jitsu coach, so hes already here. The two rolled together at a public workout Wednesday, bowing to each other as the workout ended. "It has its highs and its lows," a giggling Davis said of having her husband as a coach. "But were really good at being able to kind of separate what were doing -- inside the gym and home life. Because you kind of have that balance. Home is like your little sanctuary where you dont have to focus on the fight, youre more worried about whats going on with the kids (three boys from her husbands previous relationship). Its just all about relaxing. "But when were inside the gym, if you havent seen it, Im choking him just as hard as Im choking everybody else." As for the lopsided fight odds against Rousey, Davis is unconcerned. "I can see why Im the underdog," she said. "Obviously not only is she the champion and shes been so successful but every single fight shes had has been a finish. "I dont mind being the underdog ... Less pressure, let her have it all."

Stitched Yankees Jerseys . Formula One Teams Association secretary general Oliver Weingarten says the organization collapsed over unpaid subscription fees and a failure to strike an agreement for 2014 with all 11 teams.ATLANTA - Patrick Peterson was eager to get a shot at Julio Jones. The way the Arizona cornerback remembered it, he had won most of the duels going back to their college days in the Southeastern Conference.On Sunday, Jones was the clear winner.Peterson allowed a career performance to Atlantas star receiver, who had 10 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown as the Falcons coasted to a 29-18 victory over the punchless Cardinals.He won the matchup today, Peterson said. I mean, Cy Young winners give up home runs.The Cardinals (9-3) lost their second in a row, a once-comfortable lead in the NFC West suddenly shrinking to a single game over defending Super Bowl champion Seattle.More troubling for Arizona than Jones big day was an offence that nearly went its second straight game without scoring a touchdown. Rashad Johnsons 88-yard interception return was the only TD until Drew Stantons meaningless 3-yard scoring pass to Stepfan Taylor with 1:05 remaining.That broke a streak of 170 minutes, 1 second without an offensive touchdown — more than 11 quarters.Stanton, who took over when Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending injury, threw for 294 yards but was picked off twice. It sure didnt help that star receiver Larry Fitzgerald missed his second straight game with a strained left knee and running back Andre Ellington went out in the first half with a hip injury.Were still in great position, Stanton said. Weve got to find a way to get first downs and put up points. We havent done that the last couple of weeks.Stanton was thoroughly outplayed by Atlantas Matt Ryan, who completed 30 of 41 for 361 yards with a couple of scores.The Falcons (5-7) piled up 500 yards against a team that had given up less than 300 in each of its four previous games, remaining tied for first in the woeful NFC South by matching New Orleans victory at Pittsburgh earlier in the day.Atlanta holds the tiebreaker edge over the Saints.These are the type of games youve got to win in November and December in order to play in January, Ryan said.Steven Jackson broke off a 55-yard run — his longest since 2009 — on the Falcons opening possession to set up Ryans 1-yard touchdown pass to Levine Toilolo on fourth-and-goal.ddddddddddddJones hauled in a 32-yard scoring pass for Atlantas other TD.Matt Bryant handled the rest of the scoring for the Falcons, setting a career high with five field goals though most of them werent much longer than extra points.The Falcons claimed their first win outside the division (they are now 1-7) and their first over a team with a winning record.Jones eclipsed his previous career best of 182 yards receiving and made sure Atlanta didnt miss its other top receiver, Roddy White, who was out with an ankle injury.(Peterson) is a very good player. We think Julio is a really good player, too, Ryan said. Julio went out and competed really hard, made some really good catches for us. He stepped up when we needed it.The Falcons lost a touchdown when Devin Hesters 70-yard punt return was wiped out by an offensive facemask penalty just short of the goal line. The odd call came as he was trying to ward off Cardinals punter Drew Butler, who appeared to have an even tighter grip on Hesters facemask.It didnt matter.About the only Arizona highlight came with the Falcons looking to build on their 17-0 lead after the first quarter. Johnson stepped in front of a pass intended for Jones and took it all the way to the end zone.You have to face adversity, Peterson said. Shes here. Its all about what type of men we have in this locker room and how were going to bounce back from it.Notes: The Cardinals missed a chance to wipe out Jones longest play, a 41-yard reception in the third quarter. The replay clearly showed that Ryan only got one foot inbounds, but coach Bruce Arians failed to challenge the call. ... Bryants previous career high was four field goals in a game. He connected from 20, 23, 21, 45 and 28 yards, improving to 22 of 24 on the season. His only misses have been from 57 and 59 yards. ... Arizona S Tyrann Mathieu left the game with a broken thumb, while OG Paul Fanaika went out with a high ankle sprain.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 ' ' '
