TORONTO -- Max Holloway has his belt, and now hes going on the hunt.The garrulous Hawaiian scored a knockout over Anthony Pettis 4:50 into the third round for the interim featherweight championship in the co-main event at UFC 206 on Saturday night.It was the first time a UFC belt was on the line for just one fighter. It became an interim featherweight title bout for Holloway when Pettis failed to make weight on Friday, coming in 3 pounds over the 145-pound limit. Pettis was fined 20 percent of his purse as a result.The win sets up a possible showdown for Holloway with official belt-holder Jose Aldo at UFC 208 on Feb. 11. Holloway said UFC President Dana White already offered him the fight following his win over Pettis.Both Aldo and Holloway have lost to former featherweight champ Conor McGregor, but McGregor was stripped of his belt in late November by UFC because he had yet to defend it while fighting in other classes.Aldo was given the belt, but he hasnt fought since beating Frankie Edgar in July at UFC 200.I already had to give up Thanksgiving for this fight, I had to give up my birthday and its hard to find the guy, Holloway said. Like I said, `Hashtag: Wheres Jose Waldo. Let me know when you find him.I dont want to give up my sons birthday and Christmas for February 11 and he dont show up, you know? This guy has a (habit) of not showing up to the fight. Well see what happens.During his post-fight interview in the octagon, Pettis said he broke his right hand with his first punch in the first round.Earlier, Cub Swanson won a unanimous decision over Dooho Choi (30-27, 29-28, 30-27) in an entertaining featherweight bout.Emil Meek got the main card started by defeating Lethbridge, Alberta, native Jordan Mein by unanimous decision (29-28) in his UFC debut.Torontos Misha Cirkunov forced Nikita Krylov to tap out at 4:38 of the first round with a guillotine choke. Cirkunov improved to 4-0 in UFC and moved into the top 10 at the light heavyweight level.I definitely belong in the top 10, Cirkunov said. Im on an eight-fight win streak since I dropped my coach.

The whole world will see my potential.Olivier The Quebec Kid Aubin-Mercier was the first Canadian to emerge victorious, defeating Drew Dober in a lightweight bout.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Hue Jackson is looking for any edge he can get to turn the Cleveland Browns into winners.The first-year coach welcomed an opportunity to bring his team to Florida for a pair of joint practices with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, figuring its not only helpful work leading into a preseason game between the clubs, but also could prove beneficial when the Browns visit the Sunshine State again next month.It is a little hot, it is a little humid, and Im glad that it is, Jackson said Tuesday. The hotter the better because thats the way it is going to be as we start during the (regular) season against Miami.The teams will share the practice fields at One Buccaneer Place again Wednesday, then face each other in a nationally televised exhibition Friday night.Jackson wants to gauge the Browns response to the unusual training camp routine. The Bucs already have experience with the uncommon structure after spending most of last week in Jacksonville for joint workouts before playing the Jaguars.Jackson hopes the trip will help his players bond before they play five of their first seven regular season games on the road.We are going to meet with them, obviously, but Im also going to give them a chance to be around each other a little bit more in a different setting, he said. Thats important, too, because we need to know how to handle this.Dirk Koetter, Tampa Bays first-year coach, said the Bucs are benefiting from extra work against players, as well as offensive and defensive schemes, they dont face in practice every day.Cleveland is a 3-4 defense, and were going to see like eight 3-4 teams over the course of the year, so two extra days of working against a 3-4 are huge, Koetter said.And then theyre a zoone-read team on offense.dddddddddddd. ... We need to see zone-read for down the road when we play teams like San Francisco and Seattle and Carolina, he added. Each team is a little bit different, but just playing and working against different guys is good.Tampa Bays revamped secondary, featuring free agent acquisition Brent Grimes and first-round draft pick Vernon Hargreaves III, is being tested this week by a talented group of Cleveland receivers led by Josh Gordon and Terrelle Pryor.Gordon sat out all of last season while serving a suspension for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy and figures to make his preseason debut on Friday night. He is not eligible to play in the regular season until Week 5 against the New England Patriots.Itd be great, Gordon said. Im working the kinks out here at practice and back at home in Cleveland as much as possible to get ready for it. ... Hopefully, I can pick up where we left off.Gordon said hes excited about the prospect of being part of an offense featuring him, Pryor and first-round draft pick Corey Coleman, the former Baylor receiver whos been slowed by a left hamstring injury.Meanwhile, Gordon shrugged off questions about reports that some teams have expressed interest in a potential trade but that the Browns are not interested in moving him.I really cant comment on that. Im not really sure. I havent heard too much about it, the receiver said. Cleveland is my team. That is where I want to be. ... Thats not even in the ballpark for me. Im not really sure how that works.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
