conversations going back and forth for the

Four weeks after a massive flood hit southern Alberta, the Calgary Flames appear ready to re-open the water-damaged Scotiabank Saddledome in time for the start of the season. Flames president and CEO Ken King told The Globe and Mail on Wednesday that repairs to the clubs home arena are right on schedule and the building will be ready to host preseason games in September. "From a public standpoint, and from a hockey standpoint, we want everything to be operational," King told The Globe and Mail. "This week was the time to decide if we could proceed as planned - and the answer is yes." The Flames will play their four preseason games at the Saddledome beginning Sept. 14 against the Edmonton Oilers and have their regular season home opener on Oct. 6 against the Vancouver Canucks. Last month, Scotiabank Saddledome and the Stampede grounds were among the many areas hit by severe flooding as Albertas provincial government called on the residents of Calgarys flood-hit regions to head to higher ground. The flood water seeped quickly into the Saddledome and went up as high as the eighth row of seats. The team told The Globe an Mail that the current work involves putting in new kitchen areas and seats as well as replacing the workspace for the arenas digital-screen scoreboard. "We have orders in for new ice-making equipment," said King. "We have a backup plant that we may not need but we have it ready. All of our event-floor equipment is new."

Conor McGregors camp have finally broken their silence after the Irishman was stripped of the UFC featherweight title.The promotion took away the 28-year-olds 145-pound belt just two weeks after he beat Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title at Madison Square Garden, where he became the UFCs first fighter to simultaneously hold championships in two weight divisions.For me personally, [I was] very disappointed by how they went about doing it, coach John Kavanagh, who has trained McGregor for 11 years, told Cork-based radio show RedFM.?They lost a main event, and then they haphazardly threw together a new main event, and they felt they had to make this for a title in order for it to sell, So they brought in another interim title that Jose Aldo already has, then bumped Jose Aldo up, which just seems ridiculous to me.The decision came after Daniel Cormier pulled out injured from an upcoming light heavyweight title defense against Anthony Johnson at UFC 206 in Toronto.Conors only 11 months since he won that title, and theres been many, many examples of fighters waiting 15, 18 months before defending it. Hes 11 months, and they stripped him of it, added Kavanagh. I thought it was very shortsighted by the UFC in how they went about doing it.McGregors camp could point to Anthony Pettis winning the lightweight title in August 2013 but not defending it until December 2014, or the 19 months Georges St-Pierre held the welterweight title after a knee injury.However, with his girlfriend, Dee Devlin, expecting their first child in May, McGregor is set to take some time away from the Octagon.Kavanagh said the 28-year-old is weighing up his next career move and admitted that it could be the much-touuted superfight in a boxing ring against undefeated Floyd Mayweather.dddddddddddd.[Mayweather is] 49-0, he added. Im sure he wants that 50th fight. Its a nice number. Right now, ask the average guy on the street, who do you want to see Mayweather fight, what fights going to get the most interest, and it would be a superfight with Conor. Certainly stranger things have happened in combat sports than a Mayweather-Conor fight. Its one of the many options that are there for Conor, so lets see how the next couple weeks go.If the odds were good enough, Id put a few quid on it for next year. Im not breaking any news saying that theres conversations going back and forth for the last year or so. Is it getting any close? I dont know, but it certainly wouldnt surprise me that its going to happen.When it comes to McGregors next UFC opponent, both Tony Ferguson and?Khabib Nurmagomedov -- ESPNs No. 2- and No. 3-ranked UFC lightweights -- have been suggested as possible options.Nurmagomedov called out McGregor at UFC 205 after submitting Michael Johnson in a dominant performance, and has continued to demand a lightweight title shot on social media.Both of those guys are fantastic fighters; I would relish the challenge of preparing him for either one of them, said Kavanagh. Theyre different style of fighters, but I have no doubt in my mind that Conor will run through either one of them.He is, I believe right now, the best fighter on the planet. His skillset is so high, his mental strength is so strong, that I dont see anybody being able to survive with him in the Octagon. ' ' '
