Anthony "Rumble" Johnson is safe, for now. One day after Dana White told reporters if Johnson didnt make weight he would "never be back in the UFC", Johnson made weight at 205 pounds. After a six-fight hiatus from the UFC, Johnson will make his return in a light heavyweight bout against Phil Davis on Saturday at UFC 172 in Baltimore. "It feels great," Johnson told UFC Tonights Ariel Helwani after the weigh-ins. "Im blessed to be here and have a great opportunity to be here and fight Phil." This is just another chapter, albeit a positive one, in the long saga of Johnsons weight issues. He was cut from the UFC roster in 2012 after a submission loss to Vitor Belfort at UFC 142. He failed to make weight for that fight and two previous bouts. "Three strikes and youre out. This is his third time that he hasnt made weight," White told FUEL TV back in 2012 after Johnsons middleweight loss to Belfort. "Hes the co-main event in a huge fight down here in Brazil and this one was a bad one. Rumble Johnson did the damage to himself. To be that unprofessional and not come in on weight, and to be that far off when you used to fight at 170, now you went to 185 pounds so you wouldnt have trouble making weight, and this is your worst weight cut ever? Thats at a detriment to himself." Asked if he thought he would ever return to the UFC, Johnson said "it never crossed my mind." "I was just going with the flow ... Not thinking too far ahead." Johnson has come in heavy twice at welterweight (170 pounds) and twice at middleweight (180 pounds) over the course of his 20-fight career. This time around, Johnson has finally done himself a favour.

Ricciardos exclusion from the results tarnished what had been a day of celebration for local fans, who were jubilant that the Red Bull driver had apparently become the first Australian to finish on the podium at his home race.

It was a good snap and hold. Nugent rushed his approach and sliced it wide right.That was the worst ball Ive ever hit in my career, Nugent said. My plant foot was way too far forward.

The players walked onto the field to shake hands, trying to figure out what it all meant.Im treating it as if it was loss, said Panthers running back Fozzy Whittaker, who had a 4-yard touchdown run. We had many opportunities to win it.
