Westbrook has missed 27 games since having a procedure on Dec. 27 to deal with swelling in his injured right knee — the third operation on the knee in nine months. http://www.airmax90wholesale.com/ SEATTLE -- Jake (The Juggernaut) Ellenberger has clearly won the pre-fight war of words. But Canadian welterweight Rory (Ares) MacDonald is confident he will dominate when it counts -- Saturday night in the cage. The charismatic Ellenberger has had a field day with the stone-faced MacDonald, using social media and chats with reporters to poke fun at his opponent. "He has been invented by the media and sold to the fans like a new Justin Bieber song," Ellenberger offered in the buildup to their televised UFC fight at the KeyArena. "This is not a Tears For Fears lookalike contest," Ellenberger told a media conference call. "Rory: Welcome to "Chez Ellenberger". Tonights special is CANVAS SANDWICHES served FACE DOWN. Bon appetit," read one memorable Ellenberger tweet. "Rory MacDonald: somebody whos been broken more times than the weekend curfew at the dorms at Vassar," read another tweet. "McDummy. Bad News: Fighting Me. Good News: Handicapped Parking," read another. "Which round is Rory getting melted? .YouChoose .UFConFox8," Ellenberger said, upping the ante. That got MacDonalds attention, promoting him to fire back on Twitter: "4some1 with such a week jaw u sure use it alot 2 talk shit when ur done buildin ur self up ill b there 2send u back 2reality." "McDummy," Ellenberger tweeted back. "Unless you are using a unit of time as an adjective, the word is "weak", not "week", Stupid." The fact MacDonald broke down and responded was exactly the reaction Ellenberger was after. "Every quick decision, especially in social media, is based emotionally," said Ellenberger. "I think its funny, I do it for laughs. And he reacted the way I assumed he would. For me, I dont take anything personally. Anybody can say anything about me. And what they think about me, I could care less." MacDonald, a native of Kelowna., B.C., who now trains out of Montreal, says he has no regrets about jumping into the fray. "Its fun to give your opinion back. It gets people excited for the fight." Well see Saturday night who has the last laugh. Ellenberger is likely to want to get up close and personal with the Canadian, to negate MacDonalds reach and to bring his own power and wrestling skills to bear. The taller MacDonald is good at all aspects of thee game, able to control distance, and is icy cold in the cage. Air Max 90 Wholesale. The fight has implications in the 170-pound division currently ruled by Georges St-Pierre, who shares a gym with MacDonald in Montreal. MacDonald is currently ranked third among welterweights with Ellenberger fourth. GSP meets the No. 1 contender, Johny Hendricks, in November. And No. 2 Carlos Condit faces No. 7 Martin Kampman on Aug. 28. By the end of the year, the pecking order among 170-pounders should be clearer. MacDonald, who turned 24 on Monday, is 5-1 in the UFC and has won four straight. His last outing was also in Seattle, a dominant win over former lightweight and welterweight champion B.J. Penn. Prior to that, he had his way with Che Mills, Mike Pyle and Nate Diaz. The young Canadian is seen as one of the new breed of MMA fighters. He took up the hybrid sport at 14 rather than coming to it from wrestling or kick-boxing. He had his first pro fight at 16, with his parents having to give their approval to do so. Even then, only a few athletic commissions would sanction the youngster. Ellenberger (29-6) is a former collegiate wrestler and U.S. marine who is 8-2 in the UFC. The 28-year-old has real power in his hands and gets better each fight. "If Im on, I can beat anyone in the world," he said Wednesday after a public workout. "Everybody gives this kid too much respect," Ellenberger said of MacDonald. "Hes got to fight me. Thats the equation. Hes got to deal with what Ive got to bring. I have new things I cant wait to show." He has already shown a fine ability to sell a fight, helped in part by MacDonalds serious demeanour. Around fight time, the Canadian is in full-on funeral mode. Ellenberger was all smiles Wednesday, explaining that he had upped his Twitter game for this fight just to have some fun and entertain the fans. The strategy seems to be working. The co-main event of MacDonald-Ellenberger has been overshadowing the main event in which local favourite Demetrious (Mighty Mouse) Johnson defends his flyweight (125-pound) title against John Moraga. Still Ellenberger acknowledges talk is cheap. "At the end of the day, it doesnt matter if you say something or not," he said. "Either way Im focused on the fight." And MacDonald knows the talk will be over this weekend, saying: "Well see Saturday night." cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
