It looks like a shot at gold is in the future for both Conor McGregor and Donald Cerrone while Uriah Hall and Gleison Tibau look for another step up in competition. Wholesale Shoes UK . With UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Siver in the books its time to take a look into the future for the main card winners. CONOR MCGREGOR UFC Fight Night 59 result: Defeated Dennis Siver via TKO Whats next?: Jose Aldo There is no beating around this one. Conor McGregor has taken the UFC by storm and will take on Jose Aldo for the featherweight title at a date yet to be decided. McGregor is a performer of the highest quality both inside and outside the Octagon, while Jose Aldo needs no introduction. In terms of talent vs. talent, this could be one of the best matchups in UFC history. DONALD CERRONE UFC Fight Night 59 result: Defeated Benson Henderson via unanimous decision Whats next?: Gold rush Regardless of the clear controversy - because we should be discussing whats next for Benson Henderson - the judges gave Cerrone his seventh straight victory and likely a shot at either Anthony Pettis or Rafael dos Anjos for the lightweight title. There is little Cerrone hasnt done to make his case and two wins in 15 days is the cherry on top. URIAH HALL UFC Fight Night 59 result: Defeated Ron Stallings via TKO Whats next?: The original plan Uriah Hall had to prepare for three opponents and he looked more than fine in his third straight win. After the victory, Hall called out his original opponent Costas Philippou and even issued a threat as punishment for pulling out of a fight. As Hall hopes to continue his climb in the division, the No. 12 middleweight Philippou should be a good place to start … again. GLEISON TIBAU UFC Fight Night 59 result: Defeated Norman Parke via split decision Whats next?: The grind Tibau is one of the most successful fighters in UFC history - tied for third in wins with 16 - but has never reached title contention due to a lack of consistency. The win over Parke gave the Brazilian his 40th professional victory, however he has never won more than three in a row with the organization. He has earned another look yet again. It would be fair to put him up against anyone in the bottom half of the lightweight division such as Jim Miller, Rustam Khabilov or even Nate Diaz. Wholesale Shoes UK Free Shipping .

The victory is Garcias first this year with his last win coming at the Johor Open, an Asian Tour event in Malaysia last December.INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana fans gave Victor Oladipo a warm welcome to the NBA on Tuesday night. Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. "Weve got to win the battles, win the tough games and weve got to win the games that we should win," George said. "We have to take care of business early and not rely on the end of the season to start playing well and start getting a streak going. We have to start a streak early." They got off to a good start Tuesday -- even though it was a little ragged for a team that might have the best chance of unseating two-time defending NBA champion Miami. Indiana committed 20 turnovers and gave up 13 offensive rebounds against the worst team in the league last season. Roy Hibbert, who was two rebounds short of his career-high (17) in the first half, grabbed only one in the second half and left midway through the fourth quarter after an awkward tumble underneath his own basket that left him grasping at his knee. A few moments later, the 7-foot-2 former All-Star limped to the bench and coach Frank Vogel said Hibbert is expected to play Wednesday night at New Orleans. Despite the struggles, the Pacers still managed to get things done. George finished with 24 points, six rebounds and five assists. Lance Stephenson had 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Hibbert scored just eight points but had 16 rebounds and seven blocks and the rebuilt bench played a huge role, scoring all but four points during the decisive run. It left Vogel optimistic about the season. "Our bench, in the last three preseason games and tonight, really just blew the game open," he said. "I think theyre going to be really strong, I think it was just a matter of nerves tonight." The Pacers were aware they were facing split allegiances in Oladipos adopted home state. More than 90 minutes before tipoff, one section near the court was almost completely full of fans decked out in Indiana University colours or fans wearing new Magic jerseys, far more than the 18 to 20 people Oladipo said he gave tickets to. When the former Indiana star wasnt announced as a starterr, the fans saved a rousing standing ovation for Oladipos grand entrance -- midway through the first quarter. Shoes Online UK Review. But by the third quarter most of those cheers were drowned out by a smattering of boos, a sign that Oladipo is no longer just the hometown kid. The Magic were led by Andrew Nicholson, who scored all 18 of his points in the first half. Maurice Harkless added 14 and Jameer Nelson had 12 as the Magic shot 38.7 per cent from the field. But most of the near sellout crowd wanted to see how quickly and smoothly Oladipo could make the transition from college star to NBA franchise player. He finished 4 of 11 from the field with 12 points, three rebounds, two assists and three turnovers. "It was a great atmosphere. There were a lot of Hoosier fans in there," he said. "I would have liked to have won, but overall it was pretty cool." The short-handed Magic still had a chance after Ronnie Price cut the Pacers lead to 65-64 with 6.1 seconds left in the third quarter. After the basket, Orlando was called for delay of game and David West made the free throw. George then took the inbounds pass from his own baseline, drove to within 26 feet and made a 3 from beyond the top of the key to give Indiana a 69-64 lead. Indianas rebuilt bench then took control. The backups scored the first five points of the fourth quarter to extend the lead to 10, and that 12-4 run made it 86-68 with 7:35 left. Orlando, even with Oladipo, couldnt challenge the Eastern Conference runner-ups again. "We have to be dominant at home if we hope to compete for the one seed with the likes of Brooklyn, New York, Chicago and Miami," Vogel said. "You have to be dominant at home."
