Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone says his series and NASCAR wont be competing for the same motorsport fans in Texas when they hold races 190 miles apart in November. Ecclestone dismissed on Wednesday any clash between the series, after the top executive at Texas Motor Speedway called F1 "arrogant" for scheduling the United States Grand Prix in Austin on the same weekend that his track hosts NASCAR in Fort Worth. "I absolutely think its foolish," said Eddie Gossage, the track president and general manager. "Its a shot fired by Formula One at NASCAR. I cant say I was surprised because Bernie Ecclestone does a lot of foolish things. The thing he unfortunately doesnt recognize is there is an 800-pound gorilla when it comes to major American motorsports. The 800-pound gorilla is NASCAR." Texas Motor Speedway will host NASCARs Texas 500 on Nov. 2, the same day F1 will hold its only race in the U.S. this year. Fort Worth is about a 3-hour drive from Austin. While Gossage thought a stronger stance by the management at Circuit of the Americas would have prevented the scheduling issue, Ecclestone believed it was a non-issue. "Ive also spoken to the people that run the race at COTA and their position is that they believe the NASCAR crowd is a different crowd to Formula One, different people, different customers," Ecclestone said. "At the end of the day, they run a domestic series in America -- we run a world championship." F1 requires considerable logistical planning by the teams, he said. "Weve a small problem they (NASCAR) dont have -- we have six jumbo jets to move around all our equipment, and we have to find the most sensible way to use them to do that," Ecclestone said. "We have to be efficient and bear in mind we may also encounter problems at an airport. "There are issues that can occur, but (Gossage) and other people do not realize these things. The race prior to the one in the U.S. is in Russia, in Sochi. Weve never been before, and we have to get out of there and into Austin. That is probably a lot easier than trying to get into Brazil, and then we have to get out of there (Sao Paulo) to go to Abu Dhabi." Gossage said F1 could have found another weekend to race in the U.S. "Its just not smart," he said. "Theres 52 weeks in the year. But that was the only weekend that Formula One could make it work in Austin, Texas. Give me a break." Terry McLaurin Redskins Jersey . Still, Encarnacion felt a sense of relief.

JOHNS, N.LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Chris Weidman will defend his middleweight title against Vitor Belfort, and Ronda Rousey will defend her bantamweight title against Cat Zingano at UFC 184 on Feb. 28 at Staples Center. UFC President Dana White announced the matchups Wednesday for the mixed martial arts promotions first show in Southern California since February 2013. Weidman (12-0) has defended the 185-pound title twice since taking it away from Anderson Silva in July 2013. His defence against Belfort (24-10) was rescheduled from Dec. 6 after Weidman broke his hand in training. Weidman and Belfort initially were scheduled to meet in May, but Belfort was pulled from the card after the Nevada State Athletic Commission banned testosterone replacement therapy. Belfort was a vocal participant in the sanctioned steroid use while fighting exclusively in Brazil over the past two years, but the Brazilian veteran says he has dropped the much-criticized practice. The Staples Center show will be a home event for Rousey (10-0), a Southern California native and nascent film actor who has become one of thhe UFCs biggest stars while defending her 135-pound title four times.dddddddddddd Rousey was previously slated to meet Zingano (9-0) at UFC 182 in Las Vegas on Jan. 3. No reason has been given for the change, but Rousey is capable of headlining a pay-per-view card if Belfort proved unable to compete. Zingano beat Miesha Tate in 2013 to earn her title shot at Rousey and a chance to coach on the UFCs competition reality show. But Zingano tore a knee ligament and needed surgery, and she eventually spent 18 months out of the octagon while dealing with her rehabilitation and her husbands suicide. The UFC has been absent from the nations second-largest market since Rousey made her first title defence in Anaheim at UFC 157. The promotion cancelled UFC 176, scheduled for Aug. 2 at Staples Center, when featherweight champion Jose Aldo got injured in training and couldnt compete in his rematch with Chad Mendes. White also added a lightweight bout between Donald Cowboy Cerrone and contender Myles Jury to the UFC 182 card in January after moving Rouseys fight to UFC 184. ' ' '
