The best stretch of Demian Maias career continued Saturday with his submission win over Carlos Condit.Maia (23-6) extended his winning streak to six by submitting Condit via rear-naked choke just 1:52 into Round 1. The welterweight fight headlined UFC Fight Night at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.Maia, 38, is in the midst of an incredible run. According to FightMetric, he has absorbed just 13 strikes in his last four fights combined. None of those bouts was more impressive than Saturdays showdown against Condit, a two-time title challenger and former interim titlist.This guy has been knocking out everybody, Maia said. This is the guy, I watched his [championship] fight against Robbie Lawler [in January] -- for me, he was the champion. To come here and put in my work, with all the respect I have for him -- I knew it would be a hard fight. Im just so happy, and I think Ive earned a title shot now.A Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, Maia has 12 submission wins in his career, including seven via rear-naked choke. A former middleweight title contender, he is 8-2 since dropping to the welterweight division.Condit (30-10), who fights out of Jackson-Wink MMA in Albuquerque, New Mexico, came out in a low stance in an effort to defend the takedown, but it did not make a difference. Maia took Condit down on his first attempt and moved him almost immediately to his back. Maia put Condit in a tight body triangle and calmly worked the left arm under the chin. Condit appeared to be close to going out before ultimately tapping.Condit, 32, has spoken openly about the possibility of retirement. He suffered a razor-thin loss by split decision to Lawler for the UFC championship in January.Current champion Tyron Woodley has been campaigning for a fight against former champion Georges St-Pierre, although UFC president Dana White has said the next shot will go to Stephen Thompson. Maia said he would be willing to wait for the winner of that fight.Pettis submits OliveiraIn his featherweight debut, former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis (19-5) made a huge statement by submitting grappling ace Charles Oliveira (21-6) via guillotine at 1:49 of the third round.Oliveira aggressively looked for takedowns throughout the 145-pound bout, and that ultimately worked against him in the finishing sequence. Pettis anticipated the Brazilian moving into his hips and locked in a tight guillotine that quickly produced a tap. It is only the second submission loss of Oliveiras eight-year professional career.In the opening round, Pettis hurt Oliveira with two of his signature left kicks to the body. Wanting little to do with Pettis on the feet, Oliveira looked to set a high amount of pressure and was willing to fall to his back and defend after failed takedowns. Despite being hurt on the feet at times, Oliveira did take Pettis back several times in the first two rounds.Fighting out of Milwaukee, Pettis snapped a three-fight skid that began with a unanimous decision loss to Rafael dos Anjos in a lightweight championship fight in March 2015.VanZant records highlight-reel knockoutStrawweight Paige VanZant (7-2) scored an electrifying knockout over Bec Rawlings (7-5) at 17 seconds of Round 2, dropping Rawlings with a jump switch kick.VanZant, 22, sat out the first half of 2016 to appear on ABCs Dancing with the Stars, but looked comfortable in her return fight. She circled away from Rawlings for much of the opening round and took the worst of early exchanges, but was never hurt. VanZants outside movement forced Rawlings to pursue, and VanZant caught her by surprise early in the second round with the kick.Apparently, I needed a little of that dance movement, said VanZant, who has been known more for grappling skills than knockout power.Fighting out of Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, VanZant suffered the first loss of her UFC career in late 2015, which snapped a four-fight win streak.Miller takes split decision from LauzonLightweight Jim Miller (27-8) edged Joe Lauzon (26-12) via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29) in a rematch of a 2012 barn burner. Miller also won the first meeting by decision.Miller, out of Sparta, New Jersey, set the tone early with punches and kicks to the body. He rocked Lauzon with a left uppercut early in the third round, but had trouble defending takedowns throughout the contest. Lauzon actually finished the fight working on an armbar but ran out of time.The win has Miller riding his first win streak since 2014. It also moves him into a tie with Gleison Tibau for most wins in UFC lightweight history at 16. Authentic Bilal Nichols Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

NORMAN, Okla. -- Mark Andrews is ready to branch out.Oklahomas tight end was mainly a red-zone threat last season, with seven of his 19 receptions going for touchdowns, including five for scores inside the 20-yard line. The returning All-Big 12 performer will get the opportunity to establish himself as more of an all-around player for the third-ranked Sooners on Saturday against No. 15 Houston at NRG Stadium.Its going to be a bigger role for me, he said. Its not just red-zone type of things or special plays. Just being that every-down type of guy to stay in there and be versatile and try to make plays on just regular downs.Houston coach Tom Herman is well aware of Andrews talent.I remember recruiting Mark Andrews, Herman said. I thought he was the best tight end in the country coming out of high school. Hes 6-foot-5 or 6-6 with unbelievable athleticism.Andrews showed glimpses of being more than just a big target in close last season- he caught a 61-yard touchdown pass against Tulsa and a 55-yard scoring pass against Iowa State. He slimmed down in the offseason, so he may be capable of more long-distance damage.Mark has improved his game, too, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said as fall practice began. Hes leaned up more. He looks very good right now.Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield needs dependable threats to pick up the slack for Sterling Shepard, who now plays for the New York Giants. Shepard caught 86 passes for 1,288 yards and 11 scores last season. Andrews likes the fact that hes getting more chances to work with Mayfield so theey can build on their connection.dddddddddddd.I can definitely see from practice -- the reps Im getting, the sort of plays Im in -- theres definitely a difference between last year and this year in terms of what theyre saying to me, in terms of what Im doing, he said.Andrews opened his freshman season last year with four catches for 50 yards against Akron. He caught three passes for a season-high 87 yards and two scores against Tulsa. He hauled in five passes for 46 yards against Kansas and had a touchdown grab in the national semifinal against Clemson.He was the target in one of Oklahomas most memorable plays last season. Mayfield escaped the rush, rolled left and considered taking off before stepping back and finding Andrews for a 17-yard touchdown pass.Andrews said though his production will likely increase, he wont put too much pressure on himself. Dede Westbrook is the top returning receiver, and Jarvis Baxter, Jeffery Mead and Geno Lewis, a transfer from Penn State, are among those who will help carry the load.I think everybody does want to be the go-to receiver, but at the same time, you have to realize the talent that we have around us, Andrews said. Theres a ton of good playmakers. Thats just a credit to the athletes that we have. I think the balls going to be spread around pretty well. Baker does a terrific job of not just throwing to one person.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP ' ' '
