Ronda Roussy destroyed the very brave Misha Tate and Anderson broke his leg in the second round

Ronda Roussy came into UFC 168 undefeated 7-0 in MMA and she did not let the other stuff over the year with two movies and then the ultimate fighter against Misha Tate and the stuff she mentally took from Misha and came into octagon and just took it to Misha. Ronda took Misha down time after time and pounded on her head and blooded her and that was only the first round and worked on Misha left arm but in the end Misha was able to be the first lady to get the first round and take Ronda into a second round. In the second round the crowd chanted Misha and Ronda took Misha to the ground and tried to get a hold of Misha's left arm bur Misha put her in a little bit of trouble and Ronda fought out and got stunned by kicks from Misha. Ronda took Misha down again to recover and when she recovered she found Misha's left arm and put it into an arm lock but Misha was able to get out of it and ended up taken Ronda to a third eound. In the third round Ronda got Misha to the ground and found her left arm again and finally finished her off to retain her UFC championship and go 8-0 and after tapping out Misha was up on her feet first and had her hand out to Ronda who got up and walked away. Ronda was booed after not accepting the hand and she said she respected Misha as a fighter but she disrespected her family and she did not respect her as a person. That was a side note as Anderson Sliva in the second round broke his leg as he kicked Chris Widemen and he blocked it and Anderson immediately went down and it was called and it maybe the end of Sliva career and is not the way to go out. Chris Widemen dominated Sliva in the first round Tom Mehegan

NHL makes good with Wayne Gretzky

Wayne Gretzky has been as far away from the NHL sport light as possible as he has been owed millions of dollars from his time with the Phoenix Coyotes and has been very empty in the NHL without the great one. But now the league has come to their senses as the richer owners ponied up the money to settle the Great Ones beef and it will open up the door for him to become the spokesman of the NHL again and it will make it a happier in the NHL and after last week when they got a Canadian TV contract that had a price tag of 5.2 billion dollars (thank you Rogers Communications). The Great ones future in the NHL looks promising with the likes of the LA Kings, Edmonton Oilers, New York Rangers, or the Toronto Maple Leafs will to hire as like a consultant or assistant GM to be able to use his hockey knowledge and be able to put him as the face of their franchise. So this is the likelihood of where he will land: 1. LA - LA loves stars and will eat Gretzky all up and it will be a huge win fall in tickets and it will keep the Kings in people's mind which is really hard to do. It will also get companies to buy into the Kings which will help their bottom and getting Celebrity's back into the Staples Center for Ice Hockey will not hurt either and he lives there. 2. Edmonton - Going back to where it all began would diffidently be a huge story and it will help the fans disappointment if the team does not make the playoffs. Also he can keep the momentum of getting a new area in three years and he can put one of those first shovels in the ground in March to start the construction of the brand new Rogers Arena (rogers communication just bought the naming rights), 3. Toronto - He has always wanted to come home to Bradford, Ontario and Toronto is somewhat close and they were some what in the trade talks before he was dealt to LA and he was willing to play for the Leafs for only a mil in 1996 and it did not happen and he retired as a Ranger instead of a Leaf. MLSE if they get this opportunity they would not pass up the pub that Gretzky would bring and the city would lose their mind and he already has a restaurant near the ACC. 4. New York - It is the last professional team he played for and just like in LA they are still fighting to be relevant in a huge media market with lots of distractions to lose their audience too and the Great One would keep the Rangers in the headlines. It is a great day for hockey fans everywhere Tom Mehegan
