Ahead of Saturday nights UFC 165 event, the promotion officially announced the Canadian launch of their in-home lifestyle program "UFC FIT" at a small media gathering in downtown Toronto on Wednesday. Custom Cincinnati Bengals Jerseys . With an emphasis on training and nutrition, this 12 disc DVD set is designed for everyone at all fitness levels. "Its not designed to train fighters, its designed to bring the training disciplines that a fighter would use to get in shape," said UFC Canada President Tom Wright. "It takes you through a 90-day challenge to train like a UFC Fighter." With UFC FITs American release back in March, it was important for the promotion to launch in Toronto this week. "Clearly being able to launch (UFC FIT) in Canada during a major fight week for the UFC makes sense," said Wright. Heading up the UFC FIT program is world renowned MMA trainer and former UFC fighter Mike Dolce. "The new school is here, its 2013 going on 2014 and Im bringing the most elite, cutting edge, scientific principles of sport and making it available for everybody," said an enthusiastic Dolce. The big question of course is what makes this program different from other fitness gimmicks? The former TUF Season 7 competitor believes its his credentials. "The worlds greatest athletes contact me when they need to get in shape to weigh-in, and then perform at career defining levels," said Dolce.Dolces client list includes Vitor Belfort, Johny Hendricks and Chael Sonnen, all of whom are coming off wins inside the octagon. "Im sharing my secrets, the secrets I use with the worlds greatest athletes and Im bringing it to everybody," said Dolce Wright believes Dolce is the perfect spokesperson for UFC FIT and the UFC brand in general. "Mike Dolce is as real as it gets, hes not only a coach of our athletes, hes also a nutrition expert," said Wright and the UFC Canada President also revealed plans of opening official UFC Gyms across Canada in the near future. "We have plans to launch UFC gyms in Canada. Well look at the big markets first Vancouver Calgary Toronto, Montreal." Its part of a strategic plan to not only bring in a new audience, but highlight the training regiments of UFC fighters to show that they are legitimate professional athletes just like every other sport. UFC FIT is now available in select stores and online at UFCFit.com Jordan Willis Jersey .C. -- With a chance to start over and maybe drive in any series he wanted, Juan Pablo Montoya thought long and hard about what mattered most at this stage of his career.

Mauer drove in two runs before leaving with an injury, Eduardo Nunez homered and the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals 10-2 on Tuesday night. http://www.officialbengalsprofanatics.com/Black-Fr...rt-Jers ey/ . - Benched Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman said he has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and voluntarily entered the NFL substance abuse program more than a year ago after mistakenly taking a medication to treat the condition.Max Scherzer will pitch the most important game of his career Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park in Boston. Its Game 6 of the ALCS, and if the Tigers lose, their season is over, and the Red Sox go to the World Series for the third time in 10 seasons searching for their third title over that span. If Scherzer and the Tigers win, it will force a Game 7 on Sunday night, with Justin Verlander on the hill against John Lackey. The interesting story is how Scherzer got to Detroit in the first place. In 2009, Scherzer was with the Arizona Diamondbacks, battling for the number five starter job with Yusmeiro Petit. Yes thats the same Petit, who came within one out of a perfect game, for the Giants back on September 6th against the Diamondbacks. Heading into that season, the D-Backs were a highly touted outfit. In fact, I found an old article from the Bleacher Report, that praised their starting rotation of Brandon Webb, Daren Haren, Doug Davis , Jon Garland and either Scherzer or Petit as the best in the National League West and arguably the tops in all the Majors. That year, Arizona was 70-92 and was needless to say a huge disappointment. Clearly a shake-up was in order. So on December 8, 2009, Arizona, Detroit and the New York Yankees concocted a monster three team deal involving seven players. Initially, it seemed the Yanks got the best of the swap, in acquiring up and coming slugging centre fielder Curtis Granderson, from the Tigers. Arizona landed two veteran arms in Edwin Jackson from Detroit and Ian Kennedy from the Yankees. Kennedy gave the D-backs one incredible season, but ultimately got traded to San Diego this season. Detroit picked up four young players a couple of which were highly rated prospects. They got centre fielder Austin Jackson and lefty reliever Phil Coke from the Yankees, and a couple of pitchers from Arizona, Daniel Schlereth and yes Max Scherzer. The ddeal didnt seem to help Arizona at all. Adam Jones Jersey . The next season (2010) they tumbled to 65-97, and in-season replaced manager A.J Hinch with current skipper Kirk Gibson. The Yankees got two solid seasons out of Granderson and an injury plagued 2013. Now Granderson is set to enter free agency and is by no means a lock to return to the "Pinstripes". What do the Tigers have? Well they beat the Yankees a year ago to make it to the World Series where they ultimately lost to the Giants. Theyve got a right hander in Scherzer, whos poised to win his first Cy Young Award, a starting centre fielder in Jackson and serviceable reliever in Coke. Now with Scherzer pitching Saturday, theyve at least still got a chance to go to the World Seriesfor the third time in eight seasons. Sometimes, it takes a few years to analyze a trade, but clearly GM Dave Dombrowski and the Tigers won this one. As a bit of a footnote, to this story, I saw one rumour, this week, that after the season, Detroit might actually consider trading Scherzer in the off-season. That knocked me back a few steps, but Scherzer is eligible for arbitration after this season, and can become a free agent in 2015. Maybe the Tigers just dont think they can afford to have Scherzer and Justin Verlander on the same staff, or perhaps, they just want to keep growing and replenishing their system, the way they did with that epic three team deal in December of 2009. Stay tuned. A couple of former Blue Jays of World Series vintage were in the news this week. Darnell Colesa valuable bench player on the 93 team, was promoted by Milwaukee to manage their Triple-Afarm club at Nashville. Turner Ward a versatile outfield back-up with the club in 92 and 93 is the assistant hitting coach with Arizona. There is a chance he could be in for a promotion, since Don Baylor left the D-backs to become the hitting coach with the Angels. Ward was a huge fan favourite in Toronto.
