Andrey Pulyaev breaks down the comeback he needed against Nick Klein for first UFC win
LAS VEGAS – Andrey Pulyaev met the media Saturday after his second-round TKO win over Nick Klein at UFC on ESPN 71. Pulyaev (10-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) struggled in the first round against Klein (6-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC) at the UFC Apex. But in the second, he found an opening, landed a kick to the body, and quickly closed in to get the TKO. 'Even in the first round, I noticed my opponent started getting tired,' Pulyaev told MMA Junkie at his post-fight news conference. 'My cornermen said it's time to start using your legs. In the second round, when we stood up, I felt it – he's too relaxed. I knew it was my chance. Before that body kick, I noticed he raised his hands. I made some punches and that body kick, and after that I knew it was time to finish him.' Pulyaev, who is a protege of former Bellator champion Alexander Shlemenko, said going through some adversity was good in the first round. He was able to battle back in a way he fell short of in his UFC debut in March, a decision loss to Christian Leroy Duncan. 'It was good to prove to myself (against Klein), and now I know what I can do,' he said. Check out Pulyaev's post-fight news conference in the video above.

MLB insider wants Rangers to go all in for Bruce Bochy's ‘swan song' season
The post MLB insider wants Rangers to go all in for Bruce Bochy's 'swan song' season appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Texas Rangers are an interesting team to watch at the Major League Baseball trade deadline. They were initially sellers, especially with Adolis Garcia. However, an 8-2 stretch has experts recalibrating. Now, one MLB insider wants Chris Young and the Rangers to make the most of what might be Bruce Bochy's final season at this year's MLB trade deadline. Texas is less than five games behind the Houston Astros in the American League West. Rangers head of baseball operations Chris Young wants to be aggressive, according to MLB insider Joel Sherman. 'One of the things I kept hearing, even before the Rangers went on the six-game winning streak that ended yesterday was as they were floating around .500, that Chris Young, their head of baseball operations, wants to go for it, to honor Bochy if this is his last year,' Sherman said. Whether it was Garcia or other key pieces of their roster, the Rangers are no longer sellers. However, the MLB trade deadline will go a long way in determining their chances this season. Meanwhile, Bochy, who is 70 years old, is in the last year of his current contract. Because of his health problems and age, there is speculation that this could be Bochy's final season as a manager. If that is the case, both Young and Sherman want Texas to make the most of it. 'They're looking for an outfielder, a bat,' Sherman said about the Rangers' plans. 'It would be preferable if that bat was right handed, and they're looking for some late inning relief, and I think they're going to try and get it. We're talking about a four-time champion manager, including the only one in the history of the Rangers, a guy who's heading to Cooperstown. If this is the swan song, they want to make it as good as possible.' Texas still has a couple of days to make deals before the MLB trade deadline. Regardless of what they do, Young and the organization feel like they owe it to Bochy to try their best.
