LAS VEGAS -- With six new players donning a Butler uniform this season, coach Chris Holtmann isnt sure what to expect from his Bulldogs.Some have labeled this season as a rebuilding year. Holtmann shrugs it off with a wait-and-see attitude.He may not have to wait any longer, as his Bulldogs showed plenty of resolve Friday night in a 69-65 victory over No. 8 Arizona in the championship game of the Continental Las Vegas Invitational.Kelan Martin had 16 points, while Andrew Chrabascz had 14 points and seven rebounds to lead Butler (6-0), while Avery Woodson contributed 13 points, Kamar Baldwin had 11 and Tyler Wideman had eight rebounds.Chrabascz was named MVP of the tournament.Its too early to tell what this years going to look like, but what we know is weve already had some good moments this year, said Holtmann, who is in his third season at Butler. Time will tell. Were just trying to kind of grow as a team and figure that out.This was really important for us, because we had some shaky moments for sure in that game. I think our guys found their composure at the right time, and we played well in stretches. But I think Arizona did too. I give them a lot credit, theyre a good team and really well-coached. Its a quality win for us.The Wildcats, who fell behind by as many as nine points with 14 minutes to play, used a 15-2 run to regain momentum to get back in the game before Butler made a final run down the stretch.Freshmen Lauri Markkanen and Kobi Simmons led Arizona (5-1) with 15 and 14 points, respectively.Trailing by four points late, the Bulldogs went on a 9-2 run, highlighted by Widemans dunk with 29.3 seconds left that gave Butler a 65-63 lead. His ensuing free throw made it 66-63.Both Holtmann and Chrabascz said there was never any sign of panic on the Bulldogs part, even when the Wildcats were ahead by five with 3 minutes left.We just said lets just find a way to do what we do and hope it works -- it was as simple as that, Holtmann said. Players make plays, and they did. We told them to move the ball offensively, we did a little bit of a defensive switch late, we just really focused them on the possessions at hand.Chrabasczs layup with 1:38 left cut Arizonas lead to two, and moments later two free throws by Baldwin tied the game at 63-all, leading up to Widemans go-ahead dunk.The Bulldogs set themselves up with momentum at the close of the first half, when Sean McDermott took a pass on the run from Tyler Lewis, and banked in a soft jumper high off the glass to give Butler a 36-34 lead.After Arizona tied the game at 38-all less than 2 minutes into the second half, the Bulldogs went on an 11-2 run to move ahead 49-40 and seize control of the tempo. The momentum shift visibly frustrated the Wildcats, who committed five turnovers inside the first 7 minutes of the second half.BIG PICTUREArizona: With time to regroup after a rugged start to the season, the biggest question remains when Allonzo Trier will make his season debut. The sophomore guard did not travel to Las Vegas with the Wildcats, and hes now missed the teams first six games for unspecified reasons. His absence has left Arizona with eight healthy scholarship players. Trier averaged 14.8 points as a freshman.Butler: The Bulldogs received 14 votes in last weeks poll, but after knocking off Arizona to remain undefeated, one must wonder if theyve done enough to make their first appearance in the Top 25. Three of Butlers six wins have come against Power 5 Conference teams: Northwestern (Big Ten), Vanderbilt (SEC) and Arizona (Pac 12).POLL IMPLICATIONS: With the loss, the eighth-ranked Wildcats will likely drop out of the Top 10. Arizona has been ranked in the Top 25 for 81 consecutive weeks, the second-longest streak in the nation behind Kansas (145 weeks). Since the start of the 2012-13 season, the Wildcats have spent 60 of those weeks ranked in the Top 10.TURNING POINT: While it was Widemans dunk that gave Butler the lead again, the key moment came with a little more than 3 minutes to play, when Markkanen fouled out, leaving Arizona without its key presence in the paint. Going into the game, the 7-footer from Finland led the team with 18.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.UP NEXTArizona: The Wildcats wont play again until Nov. 30, when they return to the McKale Center to host Texas Southern.Butler: The Bulldogs have little time to rest, as they head to Salt Lake City for a Nov. 28 date with Pac 12-member Utah.

In a recently released clip from the documentary The Hurt Business: A Deeper Look at MMA, former UFC champion Ronda Rousey refers to mixed martial arts as the most responsible form of violence.Rousey, 29, is one of the primary subjects of the film, which opens Sept. 29. During the clip, Rousey says someones personal involvement in MMA could actually lessen the likelihood of committing other violent acts.I think a lot of people that are ignorant about [MMA] think that it promotes violence, when it really is the most responsible outlet for it, Rousey said. Its a human instinct to fight, and if you try to suppress it entirely and put everyone in a bubble-wrapped society, thats when people end up going nuts and shooting movie theaters.If any of those people that had all of that aggression built up in them had some sort of outlet, I think that we would have a lot more societal health.Rousey (12-1) is a former Olympic bronze?medalist in judo who made a successful transition to professional MMA in 2011. Fighting out of Glendale, California, she became the first woman to sign with the UFC in 2012.She defended the promotions 135-pound bantamweight championship six times before surrendering the belt to Holly Holm in a knockout loss at UFC 193 in November. Rousey has not returned to the Octagon since the loss, but UFC president Dana White has repeatedly said he is hopeful she could return before the end of the year.ddddddddddddBefore her loss, Rousey was seemingly invincible in competition. In February 2015, she set a record for the fastest finish in UFC title-fight history by defeating Cat Zingano via armbar in 14 seconds. UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor broke that record nine months later by knocking out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds.Its not violence for the sake of violence, Rousey said. The word art is in it for a reason. When I go in there, yeah, Im fighting, but really what Im trying to do is outsmart the other person. Its a puzzle to be solved.Im not going in there and spazzing out, swinging my hands -- lifting weights so I can swing my hands even harder. Its more mental and tactical than anything else, and I think its the purest, most beautiful sport in the world.In addition to profiling Rousey, The Hurt Business: A Deeper Look at MMA also focuses on former UFC champions Jon Jones, Rashad Evans and Holm, according to a release. It is directed by Vlad Yudin.
