Cowboy Cerrone Looking for a Fight in Denver
Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone got back in the win column last night in a big way, putting on one of the best performances of his career by absolutely dominating Jeremy Stephens from the first bell to the last. Instead of an opponent, the 29-year-old lightweight is calling out a city for his next fight: his hometown of Denver, Colorado.

Rossi, Hayden, Ninth and Tenth in French GP Free Practice
Unfavourable weather forecasts notwithstanding, the first day of the French Grand Prix race weekend gave the two Ducati Team riders the opportunity to complete both free practice sessions on a dry circuit.
Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden finished the day in ninth and tenth places, respectively, with both riders being affected by lack of grip, which prevented them from taking full advantage of the bike’s power.
Valentino Rossi (Ducati Team) 9th (1:35.112)
“This afternoon we tried some bike settings that were quite varied, and we’re trying to understand what the right direction is for finding more grip on corner exits. So far, particularly when the tyre starts to wear, we’re losing a lot compared to the others. Our gap to the front is pretty large, and although the gaps in our group are quite small, there’s more time between us and seventh place than there was in Portugal. We’ll have to try to do better. We’re trying some different things and we’re working hard, so we’ll see how we do tomorrow.”
Nicky Hayden (Ducati Team) 10th (1:35.132)
“It wasn’t an easy day. The weather was a bit cold, but luckily it was dry. I struggled a little bit everywhere. Grip on the edge wasn’t very good, and any time I would get going okay, I would have a hard time stopping the bike and run wide on entry. I haven’t had that problem much this year, and when you push wide, it also hurts the exit. We tried a couple of things but never really found a really good direction. We tried the hard tyre a little this afternoon just to check, because the soft tyre definitely feels like it’s going off a bit, but I wasn’t able to make it work that well. We’ll sit down tonight and have a good think about it and see what to do tomorrow.”

2012 Le Mans MotoGP Thursday Round Up: On Casey Stoner's Retirement
It is hard to upstage Valentino Rossi. It takes something large, significant, to take the limelight away from the nine-time World Champion, and the man who has been the charismatic heart of MotoGP for the best part of 15 years. To do that, you have to "Go big or go home," as British road racer Guy Martin likes to put it.
At Le Mans, Casey Stoner upstaged Rossi. The press conference - usually a rather staid affair, with the usual niceties about the track, each rider's chances at the circuit and a couple of witticisms - started unusually, with Nick Harris, the veteran commentator who leads the official press conferences, saying that Stoner would like to make a statement to the press. Stoner then proceeded to press the big red button that set Twitter, the internet and newswires ablaze. In the process, he did not so much ignite the 2013 MotoGP Silly Season, as douse it in liquid oxygen and set a flame thrower to it.
Stoner's announcement that he will retire at the end of this season has been covered in depth just about everywhere - see transcripts of his statement to the press here, and his detailed responses to questions here - but the question is, what happened to the Australian's denials exactly two weeks ago at Estoril of the stories that emerged in the Spanish press? Was the report in Solo Moto correct, and had Stoner already decided to retire at Jerez, or was Stoner being truthful when he denied any decision had been made. Piecing together the puzzle of what happened over the past few weeks, the following picture emerges.

World Superbike heads cross-channel and Donington-bound
The 2012 eni FIM Superbike World Championship continues its first European leg of races this coming weekend at the Donington Park circuit in the UK, where it all began back in 1988, the year of the very first round of the production-based series. 25 years and 301 rounds further on, the East Midlands track 180 kms north of London is getting ready to offer even more excitement at what will be the fifth of 14 rounds this season and races number 598 and 599 in its history.
The complicated Monza weekend left the points standings virtually unchanged, Max Biaggi (Aprilia Racing) still in control but with a two-point lead over Carlos Checa (Althea Racing Ducati). With his triumph at the fastest circuit on the calendar Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team) is now just six points away from the top slot and ready to make the most of home advantage. Donington is ideal ground for another great race by Sykes, who first emerged on the world scene in 2008 when he finished second on a Suzuki as a wild-card rider behind the three-times champion Troy Bayliss.
Biaggi has never won at Donington but he does have a 50% podium record, four times out of eight. His compatriot Marco Melandri, currently fourth in the table 25 points behind the leader, has gone better in the UK, taking his first win in Superbike last year and sharing the day with Carlos Checa.
In 2011 the Spaniard picked up the most points (45 out of 50 with a win and a second place) on a Ducati, a bike that in all of its different versions has won at Donington 17 times in 38 races. Another rider to keep an eye on will be Jonathan Rea, fifth in the points table but 27.5 points behind Biaggi: the spectacular northern Irishman has never been on the podium at Donington while Honda have not won a race here since 2008 when Ryuichi Kiyonari scored the double in a wet race.
The numerous UK fans expected to pack into Donington will also be cheering on their local hero Leon Haslam, the BMW Motorrad man who hails from just down the road near Derby. Frenchman Sylvain Guintoli (Effenbert-Liberty Racing Ducati), who scored his first win in the wet at Assen but then had to take a rain check from pole at Monza due to a problem in the warm-up lap, is also sure to be back on the ball this weekend.
It will also be a home round for the Crescent FIXI Suzuki team, which will line up with Leon Camier, podium finisher in 2011 with Aprilia and American John Hopkins who will probably not be in perfect form after picking up a broken bone in his foot at Monza. With the possibility of utilizing reference data accumulated in recent editions of the BSB championship, the Suzuki GSX-R might be in with a chance of gate-crashing the WSB regulars’ party.
Good news comes on the weather front, with a sunny weekend on the cards: after the rain that has ruined the last two rounds at Assen and Monza, the British crowd will be hoping for some true Superbike action at their home event.

Urijah Faber gets Interim Title bout at UFC 148, Dominick Cruz to stay on as "Ultimate Fighter:Live" coach
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
Appearing on UFC Tonight on Fuel TV on Tuesday, UFC President Dana White cleared up some of the questions left in the wake of Monday's news that Dominick Cruz had suffered a serious knee injury, taking him out of his UFC 148 title bout with Urijah Faber.
First up, White confirmed that Faber will indeed remain on the UFC 148 card, and he'll fight for an Interim Bantamweight Championship. However, White revealed that no opponent has yet been determined as they try to determine the best name for that fight.
Next up was the question of whether or not Cruz would be kept on as coach for the remainder of The Ultimate Fighter. Two of the fighters on his team said during a conference call on Tuesday that they hoped he would stay on, and that is indeed the route the UFC will take. So Cruz will continue coaching his team as the final month of "TUF: Live" plays out on FX, then will likely head home to work on recovering from his knee injury.
Penick's Analysis: With Renan Barao already on the UFC 148 card, it makes the most sense to move him up to face Faber. That said, because Michael McDonald just knocked out former Champion Miguel Torres, the UFC may be inclined to bring him in for the shot, and that internal debate is likely playing out right now as they attempt to figure out which way they're going to go with that fight.

Chris Lytle Falls Just Short in Post-UFC Career
Unfortunately for Chris Lytle (Pictured), it seems the political hopeful didn’t shake enough hands or kiss enough babies. The former UFC welterweight fell just short of his bid to win the Indiana Republican Senate nomination in District 28. However, in typical “Lights Out” fashion, the slugger put up a solid showing. “Almost. I finished 2nd. [...]
