Elias The Spartan Theodorou says he is still living the grind of a mixed martial arts fighter since winning the middleweight portion of The Ultimate Fighter Nations reality TV show. But life has changed. Im just fortunate now to get to see more people, better people, getting to train with more coaches, said the 26-year-old from Mississauga, Ont. Same job, just better office, he added. Theodorou, who won his TUF Nations title in April, returns to action Saturday in Halifax against Brazilian Bruno Santos. Welterweight Rory Ares MacDonald takes on American-based Belgian Tarec (Sponge) Saffiedine in the main event of the televised card at the Scotiabank Centre as the UFC makes is first foray into Atlantic Canada. The 25-year-old MacDonald, a native of Kelowna, B.C., who trains out of Montreal, is ranked No. 2 among welterweight contenders while the 28-year-old Saffiedine is No. 9. Its one of two UFC cards Saturday. Icelands Gunnar Nelson, ranked 12th among welterweight contenders, faces Rick The Horror Story in the main event of a Stockholm show, which is being shown by the UFCs Fight Pass online subscription service. Theodorou is a larger-than-life character whose resume reads actor, model, stuntman, dancer, TV pitchman and Harlequin Romance cover boy as well as fighter. He says he is always looking to expand his brand both inside and outside the cage. It has not been all nose to the grindstone for Theodorou since defeating Sheldon Westcott via second-round TKO. After the fight I got to enjoy a couple of dance floors and some extracurricular activities, he said. Perhaps as a result, the six-foot-one Theodorou put on some happy weight, getting as high as 230ish. But he says he has trimmed pounds via good nutrition. Science is going to allow me basically to be 185 for about an hour. Theodorou (9-0) says hes realistic about what winning the reality TV show meant. The hard work lies ahead. I literally just got my place in the race now ... Now it begins with Bruno Santos. The stocky five-foot-nine Brazilian likes to take people down. Hes a tough dude, said Theodorou. Hes 14-1. What he basically does, even though not it may not be that exciting, (is) he just grabs a hold of you, picks you up and does exactly what he needs to do to win. He breaks his opponents to be completely honest with you. Hes very headstrong. Hes very focused on what he wants to do. But I think Im just equally as headstrong and a little better technically ... Every time he tries to grab a hold of me, similar to Sheldon, Im just going to say no. Im going to punch him, Im going to kick him and Im going to move. Its not too easy to grab a hold of something thats moving. Especially when it kicks you in the head. Theodorou believes he can showcase his standup skills in the fight. During the reality TV show, he used his grappling to control his opponents. The 27-year-old Santos is 1-1 in the UFC with a win over Krzysztof Jotko and a loss to Chris Camozzi. Theodorous camp for this fight has included time in the Toronto area (Headrush Training Center and the Tapout Burlington Training Centre) and Montreal (Tristar Gym, Titans Academy, BTT Canada and the Montreal Wrestling Club). In Montreal, he got to train with MacDonald. Theodorou is no stranger to Halifax, having stopped Mike Kent in the first round of an Extreme Cage Combat card in May 2013.

The nasty weather that stretched well into April provided the Bills new defensive co-ordinator an additional excuse to stay indoors and become more familiar with his players and staff. "One of the good things about being here in Buffalo is the weather was so bad that we had plenty of time as coaches to stay together," Schwartz said with a laugh, following a voluntary minicamp practice this week. "When the snow was rolling and it was 5 degrees outside, we were holed up in the room watching all their stuff from last year." It was an invaluable experience for the defensive-minded specialist, who finds himself back in his element in Buffalo a few months after losing his job following a five-year stint as the Detroit Lions head coach. "You can spin coaching changes any way you want. The one thing I would say is the players do have a clean slate," Schwartz said. "They have to prove themselves. And Im in the same boat. Ive got to prove myself all over again. Its exciting. Thatll bring out the best in players. Itll bring out the best in coaches." Filling the vacancy after Mike Pettine left to take over the Cleveland Browns, Schwartz inherits a Bills defence that began shedding its once-porous and passive reputation by emerging as the teams strength last season. While Buffalo (6-10) struggled on offence in large part because of rookie quarterback EJ Manuels inconsistencies and injuries, the defence finished 10th in the NFL in yards allowed -- the units best ranking in nine years. The Bills also finished second in the league with 23 interceptions and a franchise-record 57 sacks. And they had four defenders earn Pro Bowl selections, including tackle Marcell Dareus, who was added as an injury replacement. The only area of concern was Buffalos inability to stop the run. The BBills gave up 150 or more yards rushing six times, and finished 28th in allowing an average 129 net yards rushing per game.dddddddddddd Schwartz has a strong track record in devising schemes to stop the run. During his eight seasons as Tennessees defensive co-ordinator, the Titans finished sixth or better in rushing yards allowed six times from 2001-08. Its on Schwartz to build on that success with a unit that features a few new wrinkles at linebacker, where the team added Brandon Spikes and Keith Rivers in free agency, and was unable to re-sign three-time Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd. Schwartz is Buffalos fourth defensive co-ordinator in four seasons. He doesnt anticipate a difficult transition, even though hes making the switch to a 4-3 style of defence, and his philosophy is considered less aggressive than Pettines pressure-the-passer approach. Schwartz is keeping much of the same play-calling terminology. And he said the switch to four linemen and three linebackers shouldnt be regarded as significant, because his and Pettines defences share similar elements. Veteran defensive tackle Kyle Williams doesnt foresee much change in the Bills approach. "No, were not going to be read-and-react. Were going to attack guys," Williams said. "Now, if we do it with four rushers, five rushers or six, thatll have to be game-planned. But were going to be on the move. And were going to attack." Spikes liked what hes seen after two weeks of minicamp practices. "Weve still got a long way to go, but if we can take these necessary steps, I think we can be great this season and shock the world," said Spikes, who was signed in part because of his reputation as a run-stuffer during his first four seasons in New England. "I take that personally. If you can stop the run, you can make them one-dimensional," Spikes said. "I think this season therell be some eye-openers."
