After months of invective, light-heavyweight champion Jon (Bones) Jones and challenger Daniel (DC) Cormier have gone calm ahead of their UFC 182 storm Saturday night. TSN kicks off its UFC coverage on Saturday with COUNTDOWN TO UFC 182: JONES VS. CORMIER at 7pm et/4pm pt on TSN4 and TSN5. The countdown show leads into two hours of UFC 182 preliminary fight coverage at 8pm et/5pm pt, which features Danny Castillo vs. Paul Felder, Marcus Brimage vs. Cody Garbrandt, Shawn Jordan vs. Jarod Cannonier and Evan Dunham vs. Rodrigo Damm. There were no insults on a media conference call between the 205-pound mixed martial arts stars, who came to blows at an August news conference in the lobby of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In terms of the heat between us, I dont think thats gone anywhere. I just think now you see two guys that are only six days from fighting. Like whats the point of us yelling and screaming at each other anymore? Cormier said on the call Monday evening. Thats done ... Theres no point to that any more. Whats it going to do? All the arguing, all the yelling, all the name-calling, it motivated me during my training. Whats the point in it any more? It serves no more purpose. Added Jones: The fight is here. Theres nothing that can be said or anything to change the outcome of this fight. The work is done. The camp is over. And for me to sit here and be unprofessional and try to insult him and come at him and get in this bickering match to sell a few more pay-per-views, I dont need to, I dont need it. The fights going to sell and the works already been done. Theres a time and place for everything and all the beef and all the craziness was appropriate then. It motivated me, Im sure it motivated him to have great camps. Now the fight is here. The Nevada State Athletic Commission fined Jones US$50,000 and Cormier $9,000 for the Aug. 4 brawl that sent bodies flying after the two fighters clashed during a photo op. Jones (20-1) was ordered to serve four days of community service while Cormier (15-0) was given two days. The taller champion put his forehead on Cormiers face, prompting the challenger to shove him back and soon the backdrop and bodies were flying. The ill feelings continued later that day as the two fighters, from separate rooms at the UFC office, exchanged insults over a satellite feed after an ESPN interview. I wish they would let me next door so I could spit in your face, Cormier, adding an F-bomb, said after the two traded insults. You know I would absolutely kill you if you ever did something like that, replied Jones. You could never kill me, Cormier responded. I bet you I could, said Jones. Then you should try, Jon, Cormier countered. The UFC detailed all the darts and arrows in a special advance TV show on UFC 182 called Bad Blood. The two fighters have had to wait to face off in the cage. They were originally slated to meet at UFC 178 in September but the bout was pushed back to January after Jones suffered a leg injury during training. Cormier, 35, says their beef dates years back to when Jones disrespected him in their first meeting. Jones, 27, disputes the recollection but at this stage, it hardly matters. The two dont like each other and that sells in the high testosterone, occasionally cartoon-like world of the UFC. They have gone at it since the fight was originally announced in July, with Cormier replacing injured No. 1 contender Alexander (The Mauler) Gustafsson after the Swede was sidelined by a knee injury. Jones had defeated Gustafsson in an epic five-rounder at UFC 163 in Toronto in September 2013. In the wake of their fight announcement, Jones sent Cormier a I hope youre ready to come to daddy message on social media. Cormier replied via Twitter: I am. Im going to (mess) you up with an F-bomb thrown in for good measure. Cormier also was quick to talk up his Break Bones T-shirts. Tweeted Jones: This is the fight I wanted in the first place. Nothing like fresh meat #Champion2014 Jones young daughter even got into the act, via an Instagram video. DC. My dads going to beat you up. Guaranteed, said the six-year-old. For Jones, Saturday marks the eighth defence of the light-heavyweight title he won from Mauricio (Shogun) Rua at UFC 128 in March 2011 to become the UFCs youngest champion at 23. Jones, an immense physical puzzle at six foot four with an 84-inch reach, has since defeated Quinton (Rampage) Jackson, Lyoto Machida, Rashad Evans, Vitor Belfort, Chael Sonnen, Gustafsson and Glover Teixeira. Cormier, ranked second among UFC light-heavyweight contenders, is a former Olympic wrestler who finished fourth at the 2004 Games in Athens. The five-foot-11 Cormier, a former heavyweight, has won four straight since joining the UFC from Strikeforce where he was heavyweight Grand Prix champion. He has out-struck every UFC or Strikeforce opponent he has faced but this time will have to wade through Jones 12-inch reach advantage to get at the champion. Jones is currently ranked No. 1 in the UFCs pound-for-pound pantheon. Cormier is No. 14. Every fighter between is a current or former champion. So will the fighters bury the hatchet Saturday in Sin City? You know you gain a level of respect by sharing the Octagon with someone, said Cormier. I dont know whats going to happen after the fight. It doesnt really matter to me one way or the other. Said Jones: Every guy Ive beat, Ive had a pretty solid relationship with. Im cordial and theyre cordial. I just kind of go on about my merry life. The bookies have Jones as less than a 2-1 favourite. --- Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Giants Jerseys 2020 .com) - Even-money favorite Liams Map proved a little too tough down the stretch and won Saturdays $100,000 Harlans Holiday Stakes at Gulfstream Park.

"How many innings was that?" he wondered.INDIANAPOLIS - Two days before the NBA draft, Pacers coach Frank Vogel was handed a new task — finding another assistant coach. A day after word leaked that Vogels top assistant, Brian Shaw, had been hired as Denvers new head coach, Vogel told reporters he already has a list of potential replacements. The goal: Make a quick hire. "Im thinking like 3 or 4 oclock this afternoon," Vogel joked Tuesday when asked about having a timetable for the hire. "Seriously, wed like to do it as quickly as the process allows, making sure, of course, that we do our due diligence on the people were bringing in here." Vogel did not drop any hints of who might be on his list of candidates, but he did talk about a few essential skills the next assistant will need. He wants someone who fits in with a young team that appears to be on the verge of becoming a perennial championship contender. Since Vogel took over as Indianas head coach during the 2010-11 season, the Pacers have shown steady improvement — reaching the playoffs in Vogels first season, winning a playoff series in 2012 and pushing two-time NBA champion Miami to Game 7 in the Eastern Conference finals this past season. Shaw played a crucial role in the improvement over the past two seasons, building strong relationships with the younger players to help them excel on the court. He has been credited specifically by Vogel and others within the organization for the breakout seasons this year for Paul George and Lance Stephenson.dddddddddddd George was named the NBAs Most Improved Player. Stephenson played key roles in playoff wins over Atlanta, New York and Miami during his first season as a starter. It wasnt just the players who learned something from Shaw. "The experience he brought to the Indiana Pacers through his playing days and his days as an assistant to the Phil Jackson and the insights he offered from the greatest coach in the history of the game during meetings helped me grow as a coach," the 40-year-old Vogel said. Shaws championship background and the stories about his own NBA career played well in the locker room, too. Thats one reason Vogel is seeking an assistant with professional experience. Assistant coach Dan Burke has spent the last 24 years in the league — all of it as an assistant coach, video co-ordinator or scout. Vogels other assistant, Jim Boylen, went into coaching immediately after finishing his college playing career at Maine and never played professionally. "Ill look at a lot of different types of assistant coaches," Vogel said. "I certainly think its important to have a player or two on your bench to share their experiences with the guys." ' ' '
