The last time most UFC fans saw Daniel Kelly, the Australian middleweight was sitting forlornly on his stool — an ice bag on a damaged knee.The former judo Olympian had just lost to Sheldon Westcott via first-round submission in episode 6 of The Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada vs. Australia, which aired in February. That was embarrassing, Kelly said after limping back to his stool.No it wasnt, said Australia coach Kyle Noke.Yes it was, said Kelly.On Friday, the 37-year-old from Melbourne returns to the cage to face American Luke Zachrich on the undercard of a UFC Fight Night card in Sydney. Its awesome, Kelly said. I was really really really happy for the opportunity. Because the (TV) show didnt go very well. Its a bit of a chance at redemption for me.American Luke Rockhold, ranked fifth among middleweight contenders, takes on No. 9 Michael Bisping of England in the main event Also on the undercard at the Allphones Arena, Canadian welterweight Chris (The Menace) Clements faces Australias Vik Grujic.Kelly (7-0) has fought once since his appearance on The Ultimate Fighter, which was filmed in late 2013. He choked out Ben Kelleher in the second round in May in a local promotion.The Australian tore his medial ligament as well as his lateral meniscus during the Westcott bout — which didnt count against his professional record because it was only a two-round fight. The Canadian went right at Kelly and injured his knee by slamming him to the canvas.The lateral meniscus hasnt healed but its still manageable now, Kelly said. Anyone who fights is walking around with some kind of injury.Surgery was one option.I possibly could have gone that track, Kelly conceded. But I run my own business, I run a gym (Melbournes Resilience Training Centre) and I really couldnt afford to take the time out to have surgery. So its just an (injury) management thing.Kelly has mixed feelings about his time in rural Quebec during filming of the reality TV show. He knows it gave him a leg up in competing in the UFC. But being locked away for seven weeks a continent away from his family — he has kids aged eight and five — was difficult.It was harder than I thought it would be, he said.Kelly also found it weird watching himself on TV when the series began to air. And he called the episode in which he fought uncomfortable to watch.But he makes no excuses for the loss to Westcott. Sheldon was better than me on that night.Kelly, who co-owns his gym, is the only Australian to make four Olympic teams in judo (2000, 04, 08 and 12). His highest finish was seventh in 2004.He also wrestled at the 2002 Commonwealth Games and has coached judo.Kelly has enjoyed a long career but acknowledges it has put a lot of miles on the body. He monitors his training carefully as a result.Still he savours learning MMA, a sport he only jumped into in late 2012.I was always a fan and I just thought Id have a go at it ... I became a little obsessed with it and here I am, he said with a chuckle. My wife keeps saying At some point, youre going to have to stop all of this.But I love it, he added. And at the moment Im doing OK.The 32-year-old Zachrich (14-3) was a cast member on Season 7 of The Ultimate Fighter. The brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu is 1-1 in the UFC, winning a decision over Guilherme Vasconcelos last time out at UFC 175. Hes well-rounded. Hes got good standup, good jiu-jitsu so its going to be a hard fight, said Kelly. Theyre all hard fights at the UFC level so Im looking forward to the challenge.

With Giroux a game-time decision, Lecavalier will try to help the Flyers avoid matching their longest slide of the season Tuesday night against the visiting Ottawa Senators. Viewers in the Senators region can catch all of the action LIVE on TSN5 with at 7pm et or listen live on TSN Radio 1200 Ottawa with coverage beginning at 5pm et. Philadelphia (14-18-7) has been outscored 19-9 during an 0-4-1 stretch after starting a season-high eight-game road trip with three victories. The jaunt also cost the Flyers some money, as the NHL fined them for violating the collective bargaining agreement by traveling during the holiday break. Players were barred from traveling or practicing Dec. 24-26, and Philadelphia reportedly took a flight to Nashville on Dec. 26 before losing 4-1 the following night to begin this slide. The Flyers concluded the trip by giving up the first five goals in Saturdays 5-2 loss to New Jersey. Lecavalier, however, has been a bright after spending seven games as a healthy scratch. The veteran center has five goals with one assist in eight games since after scoring twice through his first 17. He scored his first power-play goal Saturday but was also a minus-3. Its a lot more than what I had two weeks ago, Lecavalier told the teams official website of being back in the lineup regularly. The more you are out there, the more comfortable you are, the more you feel the puck. Lecavalier has six points in his last four meetings with Ottawwa (16-15-7), assisting on a goal by Wayne Simmonds in a 5-2 win in the most recent home matchup Nov.dddddddddddd19, 2013. Giroux had a goal in that meeting, giving him eight points in 10 matchups at Wells Fargo Center. Its unclear if hell be available for this one after his stretch of 168 consecutive games played ended Saturday due to a cut on the back of his left leg by a skate during Fridays 2-1 loss at Carolina. Having Giroux on the ice for this four-game homestand could provide a spark since hes compiled 22 of his 30 points there. The venue hasnt mattered for Jakub Voracek as he leads the league with 48 points. Hes collected 12 in 13 career games against the Senators, scoring four goals while setting up another in the last four. Ottawa has dropped four of six after squandering a pair of leads to lose 4-2 to Tampa Bay on Sunday. Frustration showed in the third period as the Senators were whistled for five penalties, including a double-minor on captain Erik Karlsson in the final minutes. A lot of it comes from frustration, coach Dave Cameron told the teams official website. I think we allowed our tiredness and fatigue to become frustration. I can guarantee you that of the nine penalties, there were a few questionable ones. So how many did we actually take is somewhere in between. But at the end of the day you get pegged for nine so you take nine. Karlsson leads Ottawa with 27 points and has four in his last three visits to Philadelphia. Kyle Turris has three goals in his last four games against the Flyers, and hes scored in each of the last two overall while adding an assist Sunday. ' ' '
