VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Demian Maia backed up his calls for a welterweight title shot with an early submission victory over Carlos Condit in the main event of UFC Fight Night at Rogers Arena on Saturday night.Ranked third in the division, Maia said this week that with a victory over Condit, he should be in line for a title fight against Tyron Woodley. And, at 38 years of age, Maia may get his wish later in the year after forcing Condit to tap out at 3:08 of the opening round.Maia made quick work of the fight, which was scheduled for five rounds. He broke down in tears in the middle of the octagon when it was over. Now he will await word on when a potential title fight could take place.Anthony Pettis submitted Charles Oliveira in the third round in their featherweight bout.Pettis, who flirted with a knockout win in the first round, was able to roll Oliveira into a guillotine choke, forcing his opponent to end the fight at 3:11 of the third round.After taking time away from the Octagon to appear on Dancing with the Stars, Paige VanZant returned to UFC with a second-round knockout over Australias Bec Rawlings.VanZant, who last fought on Dec. 10, 2015, when she lost by submission in the fifth round, was able to land a kick to the head of Rawlings, driving her opponent to the ground.

Britains Tom Simpson collapsed and died on it during the 1967 Tour after he used a lethal cocktail of amphetamines and alcohol.Froome was the stage winner when the Tour last scaled the 1,909-meter (6,263-foot) peak in 2013, gaining 29 seconds on Quintana that day.Tomorrow I would have liked the stage to go to the top because its an ideal climb for me, Quintana said. But anyway, there are still lots of days and mountains for me.With the climb now reduced by half its length, the stage should have less importance in the fight for the yellow jersey, although Tour director Christian Prudhomme promised a big battle in the rarefied air of the high peak.Its still a superb climb, on its steepest ramps, Prudhomme said. The Ventoux is a myth and a legend of the Tour de France, but we cant gamble with the riders safety.Froome, who has a 35-second lead over fourth-place Quintana overall, welcomed the decision that will shorten the ascent to 15.5 kilometeers on roads well enough protected from the wind by trees.ddddddddddddIts better for the riders safety, Froome said Wednesday after gaining 12 seconds on all of his direct rivals following a great tactical move in the finale in Montpellier. I dont think it really changes too much, the climb to Chalet Reynard is extremely hard already. I think its going to be an even more intense race once we hit the climb because its shorter.Froome has been seizing every opportunity to gain distance on his rivals this year, even attacking downhill for the first time of his career in the Pyrenees last week. Quintana, on the other hand, has been very conservative so far and was expected to make his first big move at the Ventoux.Id love to win on Ventoux, where some of the legendary riders in cycling have won, said Quintana, who finished runner-up to Froome at the Tour in 2013 and 2015. But Froome is also strong. We have to see how the other rivals are. We dont want to lose our heads, and use up our strength, and then let others take advantage.French climbing specialists Romain Bardet and Thibaut Pinot have also circled this stage for special attention. Besides containing one of the races most famous climbs, the stage will be held on Bastille Day, which celebrates the storming of the Bastille prison by Parisians during the French Revolution. ' ' '
