Middleweight Gegard Mousasi (40-6-2) stunned Vitor Belfort (25-13) with a right-head kick in the second round, which eventually led to a TKO finish at 2:43 due to strikes on the ground. Mousasi ate two hard left hands in the opening minutes but emerged relatively unscathed otherwise. He immediately claimed the center of the Octagon and calmly stalked Belfort around the perimeter.Belfort, 39, defended Mousasis early attempt at a takedown and occasionally flashed the hand speed that has helped make him famous, but his activity was very low. According to Fightmetric, he landed just nine total strikes, compared to 65 for Mousasi.The Brazilian did not go down immediately from the right-head kick but was clearly stunned. Mousasi unloaded a flurry of punches near the fence before wrestling him to the floor and dropping elbows. Belforts face was badly bloodied by the time referee Marc Goddard stepped in.Hes a legend, said Mousasi, who improves to 7-3 in the UFC. Fighting him is an honor. I like Vitor a lot. Hes a nice guy, besides being a great athlete.When asked whom hed like to fight next, Mousasi said someone ranked in the top four of the division or former champion Anderson Silva.Manuwa demolishes Saint Preux in Round 2Light heavyweight Jimi Manuwa (16-2) knocked Ovince Saint Preux (19-9) out cold with a left hook at 2:38 of the second round. The finish came after a first round in which St. Preux established decent control on the ground. He threatened to take Manuwas back on several occasions in the first five minutes, although he did have to fight out of a late guillotine attempt.Manuwa, 36, seized momentum early in the second round. He began targeting St. Preux to the body and trapped him along the fence. A right hand staggered him, followed by a left hook that put him out. Its a huge bounce-back win for the England-based Manuwa, who suffered a knockout loss to Anthony Johnson in September 2015.Struve scores 17th submission of careerHeavyweight Stefan Struve (28-8) has won consecutive fights for the first time since 2012, as he submitted Daniel Omielanczuk (19-6-1) via DArce choke at 1:41 of the second round. Struves advantage on the ground was clear throughout. He took Omielanczuks back in the first round and secured a body triangle but ran out of time looking for a finish.The tap came quickly in the second round, good for the 17th submission win of Struves 11-year professional career. It is the first time Omielanczuk has been finished.Bektic submits late replacement DoaneFeatherweight prospect Mirsad Bektic (11-0) submitted late replacement Russell Doane (14-7) via rear-naked choke at 4:22 of the opening round. It was the 25-year-olds first appearance since May 2015 due to a torn ACL.Fighting out of American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida, Bektic looked sharp in opening exchanges before turning to his terrific offensive wrestling. He took Doane down and eventually took his back as he tried to stand up and break away near the cage. It is the third submission win of Bektics career and his fifth career first-round finish.Doane, 30, has now lost four fights in a row. He is now 2-4 in the UFC.

Four -- Rice, Carter, Brown and Harrison -- have been inducted. Only two -- Owens and Bruce -- are waiting to get in.Several of the Ravens showed reverence toward Smith leading up to this game.Everybody should look at him, and I dont know if they should be jealous or what, but they should definitely take notice of how special of a person theyre watching, Flacco said Wednesday. I think hes going to be a guy that we remember for a while. Im definitely a very proud person to say that I can play with him. ' ' '
