Bellator light heavyweight champion?Liam McGeary?and challenger Phil Davis?couldnt have more opposing mindsets ahead of their title fight on Friday.Laughing and joking around, all those fun and games are over now, said McGeary during a recent?Bellator 163 media call. Ive had three, four months of getting ready for him, and the torture I put myself through in this gym, Im getting ready to take it out on him.Davis (16-3) immediately responded by saying,?The fun and games are not over. The fun and games have just begun. Youve been training for four months for this fight. Ive had over a full year I put into wearing your butt out and dragging your face across the mat.The time for talk will officially end when the two square off in Fridays main event at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut (Spike TV/ESPN Deportes, 9 p.m. ET). But leading up to the fight, Davis has used his silly and squirrelly side to playfully get under the skin of McGeary (11-0), which was apparent on last weeks call.Out of all the guys Ive fought, Im going to like punching him in the face the least, Davis said. Hes actually a pretty funny guy, but business is business and Im going to have to come at this man like a spider monkey.McGeary (11-0), a native of England, began to compare his opponents high-pitched voice to Michael Jackson or one of the Bee Gees, but after a few more belittling remarks, McGeary eventually got serious with his responses.My record is 11-0 for a reason, said McGeary. If I say Im going to knock them out, I knock them out. If I say Im getting a submit, I submit you. Im going to beat your f---ing face in.So, how did we get to this fight? After jumping over from the UFC, Davis made a splash in his Bellator debut in September 2015 by defeating Emanuel Newton and Francis Carmont in the same night at the promotions first Dynamite card. Winning the light heavyweight tournament gave Davis a shot at the champion in the future, whomever it would be. That was decided later that night, when McGeary defended his title by submitting Tito Ortiz with an inverted triangle choke.But McGeary has remained out of action since that fight due to a knee injury. The 34-year-old says he had a lot of damage inside the knee that prevented him from standing on it comfortably. After getting some repairs, McGeary has been able to go through a successful training camp in New York.Despite a perfect record and a title in hand, McGeary sits two spots lower than his challenger in the ESPN.com light heavyweight power rankings, and his?knees could potentially be an X factor in the bout. In his previous two title fights, McGeary has allowed takedowns to both Ortiz and Newton. He was able to overcome both takedowns going to his back against those two opponents, but going up against a former 197-pound NCAA national champion in Davis, who competed at Penn State, could be a whole other issue.You havent had a fight for a year and you think you can just jump off the bench, said Davis. The world dont work like that. Listen, Ive been beating people up while Ive been waiting to beat up you. Your picture is on a bag in my gym, and I just beat the picture off the bag for the second time.The person Davis beat in the meantime was Muhammed King Mo Lawal in May. It was a competitive yet unanimous decision in favor of Mr. Wonderful that solidified his status at the top contender at 205 pounds. Unbeaten within the promotion after becoming one of the first high-profile names to make the leap from the UFC, Davis can solidify his status as one of the top 205-pound fighters in the world with a victory, and thats the kind of pressure he claims he thrives under.I like the feeling of knowing that Im in the semis, or that Im in the finals, Davis said. That the pressures on, that moment of do or die, I love that moment. I thrive in that moment, and Im so glad to be back in that moment of do or die, all or nothing. Thats where I shine. Thats where I do my best work. Brooks Robinson Jersey . The third-ranked Ivanovic, who won the event in 2008 and 10, served five aces and broke Wickmayer, also a former winner in 2009, five times.

TORONTO -- After watching DeMar DeRozan drop more than 30 points on an opponent for the eighth time in nine games this season, Toronto coach Dwane Casey suggested that the game keeps slowing down for the NBAs leading scorer.DeRozan, who is averaging 34.0 points after scoring 33 in the Raptors 118-107 victory over the New York Knicks on Saturday night, agreed.Yeah, I always find ways I can be better mentally, physically, skill-wise, he said following Torontos fourth straight win over New York. I always try to find something in the offseason and during the season as well.The outburst put DeRozan in an exclusive club. In the last 50 years, only Michael Jordan, World B. Free and Tiny Archibald have started a season registering 30-plus points in eight of the first nine games.In a see-saw game that saw 27 lead changes, DeRozan provided a reassuring presence for a team that started one rookie in Pascal Siakum and a second-year player in Norman Powell, who had 19 points.Point guard Kyle Lowry, who scored what turned out to be the winning points with 1:41 to play on a driving layup, pointed to DeRozans fourth-quarter, 4-point play.He was serenaded with chants of MVP! MVP! from the crowd as he put the game out of reach with 26.8 seconds to go.Were just going to keep riding that coattail, Lowry said. Were going to keep letting him do him. Were going to rally around him and keep helping him be great.Carmelo Anthony scored 31 points, while Kristaps Porzingis and Derrick Rose added 21 apiece. Rose, who seemed to be favoring his shoulder at points in the game, said it was just a stinger.Losing, it hurts, period, Rose said after the Knicks fell to 3-6. Ive never been a loser in my life and just got to figure ways out. Were closer, a lot closer and the effort that we had, we need to find that effort for the entire game.TIP-INSKnicks: New York is 0-2 in the back end of back-to-back games.
