ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Rampage Jackson scowled, howled, then bellowed to the crowd: "Im back! Im back!" With rebuilt knees and a new promotion, Jackson might have one more act left in MMA. Jacksons Bellator debut ended in a hurry when the former UFC star dropped Joey Beltran with a second left in the first round to win by knockout Friday night. "Its only the beginning," Jackson said. "Theres a lot more stuff coming." In his first fight outside the UFC banner since 2006, Jackson connected on a series of left hooks to send Beltran to the mat. Jackson finished him off at the 4:59 mark, then threw back his head for his signature howl. The arena darkened as Jackson made his way to the cage with a scowl. He was mobbed by fans on his way to the cage, then grabbed the microphone after the short bout to proclaim he was back to an appreciative crowd at Revel Resort casinos Ovation Hall. Jackson won his first MMA fight since he beat Matt Hamill by unanimous decision on May 28, 2011, at UFC 130. Unwanted by UFC after three straight losses, Jacksons debut was his first fight in 10 months. He blamed his decline on bad knees that slowed him down. Jackson thanked his doctors for the various procedures on his knees over the last year. "Fans keep thinking Im making excuses, but now its on," he said. "I have a lot more years left in me." He used a series of hooks to put Beltran on all fours. One or two punches more to the face ended the bout. "I proved I still got it," Jackson said. "If I train hard, I can deliver." Jackson hurt his right knee training for a 2010 fight against Rashad Evans and hurt his left knee in a 2011 bout against Jon Jones. "I havent enjoyed training for years because I was in so much pain," he said. He hadnt been the same since -- until a left hook made it a buzzer beater to remember. Jackson had a series of platelet-rich plasma treatments designed to stimulate recovery in aging joints to aid his recovery. Jackson was originally slated to fight former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz on pay-per-view. Ortiz backed out because of a neck injury, forcing Jackson to fight Beltran (14-10). Jackson said this week he has no intention of fighting Ortiz. "Ive moved on from that," he said. "Much love to Tito, Ive got mad love for him, but that was a big letdown." Beltran, another former UFC fighter, lost a three-round split decision on UFC Fight Night on Oct. 9. "I would love to fight Rampage again," Beltran said. "Well do it a catchweight, at heavyweight, I dont care." In 2007, Jackson unified the UFC and Pride 205-pound titles with a unanimous decision over Dan Henderson. In his next UFC fight, he lost his crown to Forrest Griffin. He also served as a coach on "The Ultimate Fighter." Outside the cage, Jackson is most known for playing B.A. Baracus in the film version of "The A-Team," The 35-year-old Jackson also made his professional wrestling debut of the sports entertainment kind this year, making appearances for TNA Wrestling. Jackson scattered his appearances over three months before he left in September to focus on the fight. He said his dream was to become a professional wrestler and wanted to return to TNA at some point. In the other featured bout, Vitaly Minakov stopped fellow Russian Alexander Volkov at 2:57 of the first round to win the heavyweight championship. Minakov landed repeated strikes to Volkovs face before the referee stepped in and stopped the bout. His first defence will come against former UFC heavyweight Cheick Kongo. .

Pettersen, winner of last years Evian Championships, had nine birdies and three bogeys, holding off a series of challengers led by Marion Ricordeau of France. The second-ranked Norwegian made her season debut after missing the LPGA Tours opening event last month in the Bahamas because of a shoulder injury.DALLAS -- Tim Duncan has come up big in crunch time hundreds of times having being with coach Gregg Popovich for 17 seasons. Danny Green, a relative newcomer, is fitting in just fine in just his fourth season with the San Antonio Spurs. Green didnt miss a shot in a 22-point performance that helped the Spurs defeat the Dallas Mavericks 116-107 Thursday night. Taking advantage of a weakened Dallas frontcourt, Duncan finished 21 points and 13 rebounds for his 10th double-double this season and 768th of his career. "Danny Green was on fire from 3, and we were able to build up a little lead and hang on," Popovich said. Green has started 26 of the Spurs 30 games this season, but he didnt even come off the bench until 3 1/2 minutes remained in the first quarter Thursday. Less than a minute later, he made three free throws to tie the game 18-18. San Antonio didnt trail again. Green finished the game 7 for 7 from the field, including five 3-pointers. He scored 11 points in the second quarter. "I got into a little rhythm going to the free throw line," Green said. "They just kept finding me when I was open. It got easier when we got some stops and steals and in transition. Thats how I get most of my open looks." Green said coming off the bench sometimes helps him get better looks. "Thats part of what Pop is trying to experiment with, to see how it goes," Green said. "See who works with what." Duncan is one of the constants. The Spurs appeared to have the game in hand with a 100-85 lead, but the Mavericks went on a 12-0 run to cut the deficit to three points with 3:55 to play. On San Antonios next four trips down the court, Duncan scored three baskets and passed to Green for his final 3-pointer and a 110-103 lead. "They made their run, made some turnovers and got back into the game, but we were able to make some good plays, pick and roll, got them to suck in one time and got it out to Danny," Duncan said. "Danny knocks down a big 3 or us. Good execution down the stretch." The 6-foot-11 Duncan was working most of the night against 6-7 DeJuan Blair because the Maverricks taller centres, Samuel Dalembert and Brandan Wright, had an undisclosed illness.dddddddddddd Dalembert played 24 minutes, but Wright didnt dress. "Anywhere close to the basket, its pretty much two points for (Duncan)," said Dallas Vince Carter, who scored 20 points. "You just hope he has an off night. Popovich was even more impressed by Duncans work on defence. "He was tremendous at the defensive end, he was changing shots, blocking shots, rebounded and he really protected the rim for us tonight." Tony Parker, who scored 23 points for the Spurs, agreed that in the end it came down to defence. "They had a pretty good zone. We struggled for a couple of possessions," the Spurs point guard said. "At the end, we got it back and we got the stops that we needed to win the game. Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas with 25 points and Monta Ellis scored 23, including nine during the 12-0 run. Blair had 14 points and 11 rebounds. After Green tied the game with his first-quarter free throws, Manu Ginobili scored five consecutive points on a 3-point shot and a layup with an assist from Boris Diaw. Dallas began the game 3 for 10 from the foul line before Nowitzki hit two at 7:26 of the second. That began a streak of 21 in a row, and Dallas finished 24 for 31. The Mavericks scored the first five points of the second half on Jose Calderons 3-pointer and Nowitzkis fadeaway to pull within 58-56. A 9-0 run, with the first six points by Parker, boosted the Spurs lead to 71-60. For the third time, San Antonio finished a quarter with a seven-point lead, this time at 84-77. "I thought we did a pretty good job to get close," Carter said. "We were able to give ourselves a chance to win." NOTES: The illness that struck Wright and Dalembert has been going through Dallas locker room. ... The Spurs are 7-2 in the second of back-to-back games this season. ... San Antonios 13-3 road record is the NBAs best. Portland is second at 12-3. ... Center Tiago Splitter started for the Spurs despite a sore hamstring. He scored 12 points, all in the first half.
