''I was a crying boy,'' the 6-foot-4, 240-pound Dos Santos said over lunch this week. ''I got beat up. I didn't like it.'' could have been content as a busboy or a laborer. He did- n't have the rampaging fire of many mixed martial artists, no desire to prove the whole world wrong with his fists. How he became the UFC's heavyweight cham- pion still surprises Dos San- tos, a relative latecomer to MMA who has grown into one of the sport's best strik- ers, its most talented boxer — and one of the sport's most pleasant people. ''You have to keep going, and you can never give up,'' Dos Santos said. ''It's not just a saying. It's true. You have to train and work, and those things you do become automatic. It's not easy, but I love it.'' Dos Santos thinks he Dos Santos (14-1) will defend his title for the first time at UFC 146 in Las Vegas on Saturday night, meeting two-time champion Saturday AUTO RACING 12:30 p.m. •5 a.m., SPEED — Formula One, qualify- ing for Monaco Grand Prix •7 a.m., SPEED — NASCAR, Sprint Cup, practice for Coca-Cola 600, at Concord, N.C. •8 a.m., ESPN2 — NASCAR, Nationwide Series, pole qualifying for History 300, at Concord, N.C. • 10 a.m., SPEED — NASCAR, Sprint Cup, ''Happy Hour Series,'' final practice for Coca- Cola 600, at Concord, N.C. • 11:45 a.m., ABC — NASCAR, Nation- wide Series, History 300, at Concord, N.C. •5 p.m., ESPN2 — Global Rallycross Championship, at Concord, N.C.

Frank Mir (16-5) in the main event of a pay-per-view card stacked with heavyweight talent — including Cain Velasquez, who lost the UFC belt to Dos Santos last fall. Although he's headlin- ing a pay-per-view for just the second time, Dos Santos already won his title in stun- ning fashion on the biggest stage possible. When he stopped Velasquez just 64 seconds into the first round in Anaheim, Calif., with a vicious overhand right, he also introduced MMA to a national television audience on Fox in what UFC Presi- dent Dana White called the biggest fight in the promo- tion's history. Along with great rodeo competi- tion and the chance to meet new friends from around the world, NJHFR contestants have the opportu- nity to enjoy volleyball, tug-of-war, contestant dances, family-oriented activities, church services sponsored by Fellowship of Christian Cowboys and the chance to shop NJHFR west- ern tradeshow, as well as visit the his- torical attractions of New Mexico and nearby Arizona. Meadows and Moore are also trying to raise money for their trip. If you can help with a donation contact Zandee Meadows at 200-1667. UFC heavyweight champ didn't always love fighting Everything I do, I try to do my best. I'm just enjoying what I deserve. When you work hard, you deserve to get nice things.'' Before Dos Santos stum- bled upon jiujitsu while working out at a regular gym, he worked 12-hour shifts as a busboy six days a week, making little money, but getting fed by sympa- thetic cooks. Although he was already strong from other work as a laborer, pouring concrete and cutting wood slabs in a factory, he had little athletic skill and no MMA training until a jiujit- su coach, Yuri Carlton, saw his potential. Dos Santos immediately became a celebrity on two continents, putting the quiet kid from Salvador, Brazil, into a spotlight he never imagined. Years of training with the famed Nogueira brothers didn't prepare him for the attention and wealth resulting from his remark- able rise. ''I come from a small city, and people recognize me a lot on the streets now,'' Dos Santos said. ''I'm mak- ing proud my family and my mom. I never imagined any- thing like this in my life.

He learned various addition- al skills and moved into MMA, training over the next 16 months before his first pro fight, when he knocked out his first oppo- nent with some sort of soc- cer kick to the head. ''When I beat him, it was like someone had pulled a whole airplane of weight off my shoulders,'' Dos Santos said. 1:05 p.m. CSNC 1B Weekend May 26-27, 2012 Pair headed to nationals edge Giants Marlins MIAMI (AP) — Chris Coghlan snapped out of a season-long slump with a tiebreaking three-run homer off Tim Lincecum in the sixth inning Friday night, and the Miami Marlins ral- lied past the San Francisco Giants 7-6. Coghlan, who has shut- tled between the Marlins and the minors since win- ning the NL Rookie of the Year award in 2009, was batting .104 when he hit his first home run since last June 11. San Francisco's Melky Cabrera, who came into the game leading the majors with 67 hits, pulled his third homer of the season just inside the right field foul pole. He also tripled, but struck out against Steve Cishek with a runner at sec- ond to end the game. Giancarlo Stanton became the first player to hit the Marlins' home run sculpture when he connect- ed against Lincecum (2-5). The Giants' right-hander gave up six runs in 5 2-3 innings, which hiked his ERA to 6.41. He's 0-3 in his past five starts. The Marlins improved to 17-7 this month, best in the majors, and broke the fran- chise record for victories in May. Struggling Miami closer Heath Bell entered the game to start the ninth with a 7-4 lead but got only one out and blew a save for the fifth time in 12 chances. Cishek came on with runners at sec- ond and third and one out, and after Brandon Crawford hit a sacrifice fly to make it 7-6, Cabrera was called out on a 3-2 pitch. save in three chances. Dan Jennings (1-0) pitched a per- fect sixth for his first major league win hours after being recalled from Triple-A New Orleans. Cishek earned his first 14-7 but went 2 for 11 with runners in scoring position. Miami starter Josh John- The Giants outhit Miami son gave up nine hits and three runs in five innings. He remained winless in six career starts against San Francisco. Dos Santos also had a hunger for a better life, even if he didn't advertise it. Although he was happy in menial jobs, he was ambi- tious. ''Suffering makes you a better person,'' Mir said. ''Adversity makes all people greater. I didn't have a hard life. Cigano, it made him tough. He already had a cer- tain toughness level before he got into an octagon.'' Although it's tough to believe when looking at his enormous shaved head, Dos Santos used to show up for practice with his hair in a •5 p.m., NBCSN — Men's national teams, exhibition, United States vs.Scotland, at Jack- sonville, Fla.

Dos Santos took a daily beating from the world's best, and he learned something from every bruise and black eye. ''I trained every day, and it didn't matter if you got beat up or no,'' Dos Santos said. ''I came to Rio the first day, and I got beat up. I was thinking about going back home. That was too much. But the next day, I was ready to get hit again. ... Today, they don't want to spar with me.''

After the Marlins loaded the bases, John Buck's sacrifice fly tied the game. The Giants' Buster Coghlan then pulled an 0-1 pitch over the fence, pounding his chest with his fist as the ball landed in the right field seats. That ended Lincecum's night. Despite his struggles, Lincecum hadn't given up a homer in 50 1-3 innings until Stanton connected. at Paris WATER POLO •2 a.m., ESPN2 — French Open, first round, at Paris • Noon, NBCSN — Olympic Trials, at New- port Beach MEN'S COLLEGE LACROSSE Monday • 10 a.m., ESPN — NCAA Division I playoffs, championship match, teams TBD, at Foxbor- ough, Mass.
