SEATTLE -- Canadian welterweight Rory (Ares) MacDonald was greeted by a mixture of bs and cheers as he weighed in Friday in for his UFC bout against Jake (The Juggernaut) Ellenberger. The 24-year-old from Kelowna, B.C., who trains out of Montreal, didnt get much of a reception from Ellenberger either. The 28-year-old American, who had drawn cheers and a few chants of U.S.A., std with his hands on his hips as MacDonald struck up a fighting pose in front of him on the stage at KeyArena. But UFC president Dana White applauded both men, anticipating what is expected to be a key fight among 170-pound contenders. Ellenberger weighed in at 171 pounds to 170.5 for MacDonald. Flyweight champion Demetrious (Mighty Mouse) Johnson and challenger John Moraga both weighed in at 124.5 pounds. They meet in Saturdays televised main event. There were no fireworks at the weigh-in although lightweight Tim (Dirty Bird) Means tipped the scales at 160 pounds, missing by four pounds, for his bout against Danny Castillo. In his defence, the six-ft-two Means only tk the fight on July 11 after Castillos original opponent, Bobby Green, was injured. Castillo came out in a black-tuxedo-and-lime-green shirt, which he ripped away prior to standing on the scales. Bantamweight John Albert (137 pounds) and lightweight Jorge Masvidal (157.5) also weighed over but were given two hours to lose one and 1.5 pounds, respectively. Masvidal made it but Albert didnt, meaning like Means he will forfeit 20 per cent of his purse to his opponent. Albert faces Yaotzin Meza while Masvidal takes on Michael Chiesa. The Masvidal-Chiesa staredown was tense -- doubtless the result of some intemperate words from Masvidal in the run-up to the card. Masvidal had objected to Chiesas bushy beard. Later Friday, Chiesa tweeted that the state athletic commission had approved the beard. Bantamweights Jessica Andrade (134) and Liz Carmouche (136) both made weight for their bout, the first in the UFC between openly lesbian fighters. The card features another womens matchup between bantamweights Germaine de Randamie (135) and Julie Kedzie (135.5). Veteran lightweight Yves Edwards munched on a Twinkie as he tk the scales for his bout against Daron Cruickshank.

JACKSON, Miss. -- Kevin Streelman wasnt the only one who tk advantage of nearly ideal conditions at Jackson County Club.The 37-year-old did it a little better than everyone else, though, finishing with a 9-under 63 for a two-shot lead after the first round of the Sanderson Farms Championship.Streelman made 10 birdies Thursday, including eight in an 11-hole stretch. With more gd weather forecast for the next three days, he said the low scores will have to keep coming if he wants to have a shot at winning the tournament.When you get PGA Tour players on great greens with great conditions and theres a fair amount of wedges in our hands on this golf course -- theyre going to make some birdies, Streelman said.Trey Mullinax, Seamus Power and Carl Pettersson all shot 65 to sit two shots behind Streelman. Seven others -- including Lucas Glover and Camilo Villegas -- were among those three shots back.Defending champion Peter Malnati shot a 71. Of the 132 players, 100 shot even par or better.Streelman is a two-time PGA Tour winner, with his last victory in 2014 at the Travelers Championship. He missed the cut two weeks ago in the season-opening Safeway Open.Streelman said he wasnt planning on playing at Sandeerson Farms until his pr performance in California.dddddddddddd Its been a gd decision so far: The 9-under 63 is his career-low score in relation to par. He shot an 8-under 62 at the Travelers in 2008.It was pretty flawless ball-striking to be honest, Streelman said. Hit a lot of fairways.Mullinax -- a rkie making his fifth career PGA Tour start -- was among the others who tk advantage of the forgiving course to post a low score. The 24-year-old finished tied for 22nd at the Safeway Open two weeks ago and continued to play well in Jackson.The goal this week was to give myself the best chance to win, and today was a gd start, Mullinax said. We have three days left.The 29-year-old Power is making just his second start on the PGA Tour. He finished 15th at the Olympics while playing for Ireland over the summer and said the experience helped give him confidence.The biggest thing to remember is Im not going to win the tournament at 7 under, Power said. Im going to have to get to 20-under, so thats the overall goal you have to get to and then see what happens from there. ' ' '
