TORONTO -- Former heavyweight champion Andrei (The Pit Bull) Arlovski will step back in the UFC cage in June to face Brendan (The Hybrid) Schaub at UFC 174 in Vancouver. The 35-year-old Arlovski last fought in the UFC in March 2008 when he beat Jake OBrien by TKO at UFC 82. UFC president Dana White heralded Arlovskis return in a tweet Thursday night that read: "Welcome back Andrei Arlovski!" The Canadian Press has learned the former champion will start the next phase of his UFC career on June 14 in Vancouver against Schaub. The main event of the Rogers Arena card has Demetrious (Mighty Mouse) Johnson defending his flyweight title against No. 4 contender Ali Bagautinov of Russia. Arlovski (20-10) debuted at UFC 28 in November 2000, compiling a record of 10-4 that includes victories over Fabricio Werdum and Tim Sylvia. He beat Roy (Big Country) Nelson and (Big) Ben Rothwell outside the UFC. Arlovski had a trilogy of fights with Sylvia, winning one and losing two. The first at UFC 51 in February 2005, earned him the heavyweight title. Arlovski defended the crown twice before losing it to Sylvia at UFC 59 in April 2006. Sylvia beat him again at UFC 61. Arlovski is 6-1 with one no contest in his last eight fights. He is 8-5 with one no contest since leaving the UFC. Schaub (11-3) has won his last two UFC fights over Matt Mitrione and Lavar Johnson. The 31-year-old former University of Colorado fullback is 6-2 in the UFC since losing to Nelson in the finale of "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 10.

Paul LaDue Kings Jersey .Y. -- The New York Islanders were seeking a positive finish to a frustrating season on home ice.LONDON -- The famous arch rising above Wembley Stadium is becoming an increasingly familiar sight for NFL fans. The London venue has become the trusted vehicle for the leagues annual efforts to drum up more overseas interest. Heading into the first of two regular-season games at Wembley this year, its clear that stadium officials want to see a lot more of the NFL as well. With the league expanding its annual international series from one game to two this year, the usual questions arise whether one day the league will expand to London. And while the league says any such decision is several years away, Wembley officials say theyll be ready if the day comes. Squeezing in a full slate of home games on Sundays shouldnt interfere with the stadiums commitments to host Englands national team soccer fixtures and other events, Wembleys managing director Roger Devlin said Monday. "Absolutely we can," Devlin said in an executive box overlooking the Wembley pitch. "I am absolutely confident if (NFL Commissioner) Roger Goodell wanted to have a franchise here we could absolutely deliver on it." Known for being Englands national football stadium -- the other football, played with a round ball -- Wembley started staging regular-season NFL games in 2007. On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings play the Pittsburgh Steelers, before the Jacksonville Jaguars face the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 27. It is the first of four games over four seasons in London for the Jaguars, raising the prospect of the Florida team one day uprooting to London, where owner Shad Khan bought Premier League club Fulham in July. The two 2013 games sold out within hours, which Devlin said is a sign of the rising popularity of the NFL in Britain.dddddddddddd Sundays game matches a pair of 0-3 clubs. The "core fan base" in the U.K. is now more than 2 million, according to Chris Parsons, the NFLs senior vice-president of international. Thats more than double the figure when the league first brought regular-season games to Wembley in 2007, but still not high enough for a franchise here to be sustainable. "Weve doubled our fan base in the last 3 1-2 to four years," Parsons said. "Id like to see that at least double again in the next three or four years. That would put us among the top five sports in the U.K. in terms of core fan base." While having a full-time franchise in London is still "clearly an option" for the NFL, Parsons cautioned that there are no immediate plans. "There are several steps we need to continue to take before we get to that deeper conversation," Parsons said. "Wed like to play more games every year as we move forward. ... Once youve got a sizeable fan base, the options are then much more available to you to do certain things." Even if it doesnt get a full-time franchise, Wembley has its sights set on another major target: hosting a Super Bowl. That is, if the league ever decides to move its showcase game abroad. "They are a very progressive organization so long, long, long term they might consider (a Super Bowl in London), but its a hell of a call," Devlin said of the NFL. "Absolutely ... if they bring it anywhere in the world we want it here at Wembley." ' ' '
