The budding rivalry between Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen will play out on television before reaching its conclusion at a pay-per-view event as the two light-heavyweights have been chosen as coaches for the next installment of UFCs The Ultimate Fighter. UFC president Dana White confirmed to the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday that Jones, the current light-heavyweight champion, and Sonnen, the former middleweight who is now returning to the light-heavyweight class, will each coach a team of prospective fighters on the MMA reality show before facing each other for the title. Jones initially refused to fight Sonnen as a last-minute replacement at UFC 151 in Las Vegas after his original opponent, Dan Henderson, was removed from the card with an injury. Jones refusal to take the bout on eight days notice led to the eventual cancellation of the card, a first in UFC history. At the UFC 152 card in Toronto, Jones defeated Vitor Belfort via submission in the fourth round to retain his title. Sonnens last bout was a rematch loss to middleweight champion Anderson Silva at UFC 148 in July.

CALGARY -- Greg Westlakes clutch performance earned Canada a gold medal at the World Sledge Hockey Challenge. Westlake had a hat trick as Canada downed the United States 4-1 in the final Saturday. "(Westlake) gets bigger as the games get bigger," said Canadian coach Mike Mondin. "We can really count on him." With the game being broadcast to a national television audience, Westlake said he was happy to help Canada emerge with the victory. "We were waiting for that game all week," said the Canadian captain. "Were so proud of what we do. We couldnt wait to show it on TV across Canada. We got that opportunity and we didnt squander it." Brad Bowden also had a goal and three assists for Canada in front of an appreciative crowd of about 700 people at the new WinSport Athletic and Ice Complex. "Were the first tournament here in this new building," Westlake said. "We definitely wanted to kind of christen it with a win. It was an absolute blast." Canadian goalie Benoit St-Amand made 13 saves to pick up the win. Taylor Lipsett scored for the U.S., while netminder Steve Cash stopped 15 shots. "I was very disappointed in our performance," said American coach Jeff Sauer. "Give all the credit to Canada. They took advantage of our mistakes. Theyre a good team. The pressure was on them and they rose to the challenge." Earlier in the day, Audun Bakke scored twice in the third period to help Norway capture the bronze medal by virtue of a 5-3 win over Japan. Just 15 seconds into the gold-medal game, Cash made a nice save to stop a low shot by Anthony Gale. At the other end of the ice, Lipsett took a shot from a bad angle and it somehow snuck past St-Amand, from St-Hubert, Que., to give the U.S. a 1-0 lead 53 seconds into the first period. "I dont think I was on my post correctly, so the guy took a chance and shot it off my blocker and it went in," St-Amand said. "I knew thesee guys were going to score two or three afterwards, so all I had to do was make sure they didnt score another one.dddddddddddd" Westlake, from Oakville, Ont., then converted a feed from Orton, Ont., native Bowden at 14:44 to tie the game at 1-1. The Canadians had a pair of great chances to pull ahead on a late power play in the first, but Cash first made a blocker save to turn aside a shot by Marc Dorion, before reaching behind him to make a glove save to thwart a scoring attempt by Billy Bridges. Canada went up 2-1 at 8:18 of the second period when Bowden flipped a pass out from behind the U.S. net to Westlake, who quickly snapped a shot to the top corner past Cash. "Its just one of those games where you have a connection with your linemate," Bowden said. "I just knew where he was. Thats something special we have as linemates. Weve had that for many years." The Americans didnt register their first shot of the second period until just after the 13-minute mark. St-Amand easily stopped the low shot by Alexi Salamone before smothering the puck to force a faceoff. Westlake completed his hat trick at 3:25 in the third when he fired a shot from the slot past Cash just seconds after a penalty to U.S. captain Taylor Chace expired. Less than two minutes later, Bowden snuck in behind the U.S. defence for a breakaway and slid a shot under Cash for an insurance goal for Canada. "That fourth goal was the biggest goal of the game," Westlake said. "It iced the game for us."

Canada struck gold in April 2011 in London, Ont., with an 8-0 win over Norway in the final. The U.S. won bronze with a 9-1 win over Japan. ...
