EUGENE -- Dillon Brooks had no way of knowing that Wednesday night would end with him being tackled by Jordan Bell. He didn't anticipate he would then get a handshake from Bill Walton, or a giddy fist bump from the normally stoic Dana Altman or that he would need a security guard and a member of Oregon media relations to hold back at least 100 fans swarming around him as he was interviewed on "SportsCenter."

In fact, Rousey hasn’t really had anything to say in the days leading to her fight because the former champion didn’t appear at any pre-fight functions that are standard fare before any major UFC card. UFC 207 will happen without a single press conference, open workouts or larg..>> view originalKarl pins blame on Lillard for Blazers' struggles
