Once again TSN 1290 host Jordan Cieciwa (@FitCityJordan) and TSN.cas James Lynch (@LynchOnSports) go head to head with their picks for this weekends UFC on FUEL TV 10 event. Riding solo last week #TeamLynch earned an impressive 10-2 record at UFC 160. With #TeamJC back on the keyboard, can he halt the momentum? Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Fabricio Werdum James Lynch, TSN.ca (@LynchOnSports): The main event of the evening features a fight that could very well determine the next opponent for the winner of the inevitable Velasquez vs. Dos Santos III matchup. Since leaving the UFC back in 2008 Werdum has amassed an impressive 6-1 record, with victories over Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio “Bigft” Silva and Roy Nelson. Because of injuries and a coaching stint on TUF Brazil II, the 35-year old hasnt fought in close to a year. Meanwhile “Big Nog” who coached opposite against Werdum on TUF Brazil II most recently submitted Dave Herman at UFC 153 back in October. Each combatant is solid on the ground, with the slight edge going to the former UFC interim heavyweight champion. One area where the 36-year old Nogueira has struggled is in the stand-up department, having been stopped by Frank Mir (twice) and Cain Velasquez. Werdum has shown much improved stand-up as evidence in his victories over Roy Nelson and Mike Russow. I see the Strikeforce veteran keeping this fight on the feet, getting the better of the exchanges and stopping the former PRIDE GP winner sometime in the third round. Werdum via third round TKO Jordan Cieciwa, TSN Radio 1290 (@Fitcityjordan): I love when Lynch is wrong, and this is going to be one of those fights. Frank Mir has Noguerias number, but thats about the only person out there able to solve "Big Nog". Werdum doesnt have the hands that Mir has developed. It was Mirs skill in striking that had Nogueira baffled. Cain Velasquez won because, well, he is Cain Velasquez. Werdum doesnt have what it takes to stop Nogueria. This one will go the distance, and because Nog will control the ground game, he will win this fight. Nogueira via Split Decision William Macario vs. Leo Santos “TUF: Brazil 2” tournament final Lynch: Because this show only airs sporadically online in North America and I have little patience for watching shows with subtitles, Ill fully admit I didnt watch the second season of TUF Brazil. Glancing at their records, with Macario you have an undefeated fighter at 6-0 whos biggest win comes against Gabriel Monkey, simply because that last name is awesome! But in all seriousness the 21-year old hasnt fought any major competition through his short MMA career. Santos meanwhile is 11-3 with his biggest win coming against Canadian Mark Holst and his most notable defeat coming to Takanori Gomi back in 2002. You cant beat experience so Im taking the BJJ black belt Santos Santos via unanimous decision JC: I also didnt see this season and honestly how could you bet against a guy who lks like Wesley Snipes from Demolition Man? For the sake of always being right, Im taking the underdog Macario just to prove Lynch wrong! Macario via unanimous decision Thiago Silva vs. Rafael “Fejao” Cavalcante Lynch: Fellow countrymen clash in a light heavyweight showdown, as UFC newcomer Cavalcante meets the once promising Silva. The former Strikeforce 205-pound champion lks to put behind his year long layoff due to PED suspension and instead make a statement in his octagon debut. His opponent the Blackzillian member Silva meanwhile is no stranger to controversy, having been busted not once, but twice for PEDs. Because of this, the 30-year olds last victory was way back in 2009 at UFC 102 against Keith Jardine. Losses to Alexander Gustafsson, Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida have halted what many considered at one time as a serious threat in the division. Both fighters are well versed on the ground holding Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts but its likely these two will want to keep the fight standing. Despite “Fejaos” questionable chin in knockout losses to Dan Henderson and Mike Kyle he should be the faster fighter which could pose problems for Silva. This could easily be Fight Of The Night and I see the 32-year old edging out a close decision. Cavalcante via unanimous decision JC: Im going to say it right here - this fight shouldnt happen. In their combined last four fights, these "athletes" have tested positive for drugs three times. So really, does it matter who wins? It will probably be overturned. Lets get some real athletes in the cage. That said, Silva will probably out strike Cavalcante and score a KO. Drugs are bad - Both lose Daniel Sarafian vs. Eddie Mendez Lynch: TUF Brazil competitor Sarafain welcomes UFC newcomer Mendez inside the octagon this Saturday night. Bowing out of the TUF Brazil finals due to injury, the 30-year old Brazilian lked very lackluster in his split decision loss to C.B. Dolloway at UFC on FX 7. Seeking his first UFC victory, Sarafain aims for a better effort this time around against the Rumble In The Cage veteran. Mendez is a bit of an enigma, what we do know is he has a record of 7-1-1, but none of his victories are over notable opponents. With all the hype behind him going into the TUF Brazil season and the fact hes fighting in his native Brazil, this seems like a fight for Sarafain not to lose. The 30-year old should use his superior ground skills to spoil the octagon debut of his foe. Sarafain via second round submission. JC: Watching highlights and a few fights with Sarafain before his first fight with C.B. Dolloway I was impressed. He has the ability to be one of the success stories of The Ultimate Fighter. However, hes going to have to lk a heck of a lot better than he did his first go around in the Octagon. Mendez is new to the Octagon and big shows in general. He had one fight on Strikeforce and how he finds himself opposite a fighter in his home country lking to avenge a bad loss. By the lks of the two, Sarafain has a substantial ground game advantage. I think nerves, and home court advantage will make this a tough one for the Brazilian to lose Sarafain via third round submission Erick Silva vs. Jason High Lynch: The 19-fight veteran High returns to the UFC and replaces the injured John Hathaway when he squares off against the talented Brazilian Silva. The “KC Bandit” has been underrated throughout his career and holds impressive wins over DREAM veteran Hayato Sakurai and rising star Jordan Mein. Silva meanwhile is coming off a layoff due to injury and a loss to Jon Fitch which was one of the most entertaining fights of 2012. Finishing a savvy veteran like High will be a tough task, but if Silva has improved his cardio issues which plagued him in the loss to Finch, its definitely possible. The 28-year old is comfortable anywhere the fight goes and in reality this should be his fight to lose. Using his height and reach advantage, I see the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt knocking out the Strikeforce veteran, sometime in the second round Silva via second round TKO JC: Lets talk about Jason High. Hes only fought twice in the last two years. Thats frustrating for a pro fighter. He has some big wins, but his win over Jordan Mein was almost 3 years ago, and it was a decision. That compared with Erick Silva, who tk Jon Fitch to a decision less than a year ago and Im going to give the nod to Silva. I dont think either of these two competitors are any threat in the division but they should give us an entertaining fight. SIlvas game is a more complete package and judging from his 57 percent submission stat, Im thinking this goes to the ground early where Silva will find a submission.

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding. (STATS) -- Virginia Tech had one of college ftballs most stabilizing forces on the sidelines for nearly three decades, with Frank Beamer transforming a program that had accomplished nothing into a consistent contender and periodic powerhouse.Its easy to imagine folks in Blacksburg feeling a little out of sorts Saturday as they watch someone other than Beamer calling the shots, but Justin Fuente wont be the only newcomer theyll see.Liberty has never faced Virginia Tech despite the schls relative proximity along the Blue Ridge Mountains, but the Flames hour-and-a-half bus ride from Lynchburg isnt any sort of sightseeing tour. Liberty opened two of its first four seasons under Turner Gill on the road against ACC opponents and led in the second half both times before falling.Can this trip be different?Were gonna have to play the best ftball game weve ever played to have a chance to be competitive, Gill said. I dont know whether thats gonna be gd enough or not, but well give it our best shot.OK, so maybe thats not exactly a ringing endorsement for the Flames shot at playing spoiler in Fuentes debut -- neither is the 30 1/2-point spread Las Vegas has installed -- but there are a few reasons Liberty can hang around with a Hokies team thats hardly guaranteed to make a 24th straight bowl appearance.The biggest is that Virginia Tech isnt quite sure what to expect from a Flames offense that will have a very different lk. Gone is four-year starter Josh Wdrum, a pocket passer who led the Flames to three Big South titles before last seasons 6-5 struggle. In his place is little-used junior Stephon Masha, who will be operating a no-huddle spread attack.Hes more athletic, can run the ball, hes more dynamic with the ball in his hands whereas the quarterback they had last year, throwing the ball was his strength, said Hokies defensive crdinator Bud Foster, entering his 30th season in Blacksburg. This kid can do a little bit of both, and thats where the challenge is going to be, how theyre going to set their offense up so they can run the quarterback.Mashas most prominent moment in his first two seasons happened to lead Liberty to one of the biggest wins in schl history. With Wdrum sidelined in a late November game against No. 1 Coastal Carolina, Masha came in and went 20 for 33 for 285 yards, engineering a 15-14 upset -- and that was after he threw four touchdown passes and ran for 99 yards a week earlier in a two-point loss to Charleston Southern.Its not really a big transition, being here for three years, I know what I have to do jumping into that starting role, Masha said. I always prepare as if Im the starting quarterback, now I know I have to step up vocally and be a leader for the team on and off the field. All these guys know they can count on me.How much of a threat Masha will be in the running game remains to be seen, but Liberty could certainly use a dual threat. The Flames averaged just 3.6 yards per carry last season -- 88th in the FCS -- and Gill promoted Joe Dailey from quarterbacks coach to offensive crdinator to help fix that. The concern with letting Masha show off his wheels outside the pocket is simple -- if he goes down, the backup is true freshman Stephen Calvert.Im not a coach worried about if hes going to get hurt, if hes going to get banged up, or that kind of thing, Gill said. We are going to call the best play to be successful. If hes going to run it 20 or 30 times, so be it.Liberty is hoping to run 80 plays per game after averaging 67.9 during Gills first four seasons in Lynchburg, and it can get a pretty gd lesson in tempo by staring across the sidelines Saturday. Memphis ran 80.2 plays per contest under Fuente last season while averaging 40.2 points behind the arm of current Broncos rkie Paxton Lynch.ddddddddddddThe Hokies will be running their own no-huddle attack with Jerod Evans in the role of Lynch. A transfer from Trinity Valley Junior College, Evans threw just three interception in 289 attempts last season, and ball security has typically been a key topic for Fuente. Lynch only threw four INTs in 443 attempts last season.Evans has a 1,000-yard rusher in Travon McMillian, a reliable giant of a tight end in the 6-ft-7 Bucky Hodges and a stud wideout in junior Isaiah Ford, who caught 11 TDs last season -- three fewer than Libertys wideouts totaled. Gone is star Flames defensive end Chima Uzowihe, but Liberty has eight starters back on defense. Among those are nose tackle JaRon Greene and defensive end Erwin Dessources, who will need to get some penetration up front to make Evans think even faster than hed like.Quarterbacks have always done well wherever (Fuente) has been, so I know their offense is gonna be outstanding, Gill said.AROUND THE BIG SOUTH- Monmouth opens its meat grinder of a schedule (eight road games, three at home in the final season of the crumbling Kessler Field) with a fifth meeting in six years with Lehigh (Saturday, 120 ET). The last two have been one-possession games, with the Hawks finally taking down the Mountain Hawks 28-21 on the road two years ago. Sophomore quarterback Cody Williams wasnt around for that win, but senior running back Lavon Chaney was, totaling 165 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. Monmouth will likely ride Chaney again as it returns to Bethlehems Gdman Stadium.- Charleston Southern, on the heels of announcing self-imposed recruiting penalties against coach Jamey Chadwell and an unnamed assistant, will try to avoid overlking Division II Kentucky State (Saturday, 11:45 am). Itd be easy to do so considering the Buccaneers are coming off a heartbreaking OT loss to five-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State -- and oh, by the way, theres the minor matter of invading Tallahassee on Sept. 10 to take on No. 4 Florida State. Chadwells team shouldnt have many issues here.- Ftball fever returns to Kennesaw State as the program kicks off its second year, and the Owls open this campaign the same way they began their first: against an overmatched East Tennessee State team. The Owls rolled to a 56-16 win over the Buccaneers on the road to open their inaugural season and lk for more of the same in this one (Saturday, 7 pm). Kennesaw State only completed two passes in last years matchup, but one was a 69-yard touchdown strike to the speedy Justin Sumpter, who was sixth in the FCS at 20.2 yards per catch last season and should find himself open often again.- Another rematch from last seasons non-conference schedule takes place in Elon, North Carolina, where Gardner-Webb lks for a little revenge from a game that was ... well, lets be polite and stick with an offensive struggle. The Runnin Bulldogs scored on the final play of regulation against Elon on Sept. 12 to send things into overtime tied at 7, and after trading field goals in the first two overtimes, the Phoenix walked away winners on Corey Joyners 25-yard TD from Connor Christiansen in the third OT. Gardner-Webb returns 10 offensive starters and Elon nine, so bring a gd bk and pretend these teams wont average 3.1 yards per play for a second straight meeting (Saturday, 30 pm). Not convinced? How about this: Missouri and Vanderbilt met last season with a Vegas-installed over/under of 34, the lowest total in the FBS since 2004. Thats 2 1/2 more points than the oddsmakers expect out of this one. ' ' '
