LOS ANGELES -- The UFC is expanding its promotion of womens mixed martial arts by opening a second weight class. David Alaba Jersey . UFC President Dana White announced the move Wednesday. The UFC has acquired the contracts of 11 strawweight fighters from Invicta FC, the respected MMA promotion focused on female fighters. The 115-pounders will compete next year on a season of "The Ultimate Fighter," the UFCs competition reality show on Fox Sports 1. The winner of the competition will become the UFCs first strawweight champion, White says.

The Stars notched a 3-2 overtime win Sunday against the visiting Vancouver Canucks, as Mike Ribeiro tied the game at 2-2 with 53 seconds left in regulation and Loui Eriksson won it 3:52 into the extra session. "It took us 59 minutes to get that second goal," Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan said. "But I thought we stuck with it for 60 minutes, showed some resolve and its a big win for our hockey club."

Evgeni Malkin followed up his four-point performance on Saturday against Tampa Bay with a goal, while Kris Letang and Joe Vitale also scored for the Pens. Malkin is leading the NHL with 78 points, two more than Lightning star Steven Stamkos. Steve Sullivan and Matt Cooke added two assists apiece and Brad Thiessen made 22 saves in a victorious NHL debut. With regular backup Brent Johnson sidelined with an illness, Thiessen stepped up to give No. 1 netminder Marc- Andre Fleury a breather on Sunday. "The most interesting part of the game for him (Thiessen) was going behind the net and playing the puck," Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma said of his netminders performance. "He was strong and aggressive, challenging shooters out at the top of his crease. As the game went on, you could see he was comfortable in the net." Johnson could be ready to resume backup duties tonight, but Fleury is expected to get the start. Pittsburgh posted a 3-1 win against the Stars on Nov. 11 in Pennsylvania and has taken six of the last seven meetings in this series. Dallas is 5-1-1 in its last seven home tests against the Penguins. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
