Renan Barao will put his bantamweight championship on the line against T.J. Dillashaw as the new main event at UFC 173 on May 24, according to John Morgan of USA TODAY Sports. Barao (32-1) steps in with a 32-fight win streak on the line against the fifth-ranked bantamweight Dillashaw, who is 5-2 in the UFC and coming off a win over Mike Easton at the beginning of the year. The event at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas was originally the stage for a middleweight title bout between undefeated champ Chris Weidman and Lyoto Machida, however, Weidman has decided to undergo an arthroscopic scope procedure to clean up lingering knee issues. Weidman has been dealing with reccurring swelling and pain in his knees during training due to meniscus tears suffered back in his days as a high school wrestler. Barao was first crowned interim bantamweight champion after defeating Dillashaws Team Alpha Male teammate Urijah Faber in July 2012 while then-champion Dominick Cruz was sidelined with injury. After winning two fights as the interim champ, Barao was granted full championship status by the UFC after Cruz was forced out with furthur ailments. The 27-year-old Brazilian first defended his undisputed title in a rematch with Faber at UFC 169 in February. The Weidman-Machida title fight has been moved to UFC 175 on July 5 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

PAUL, Minn.KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer, Jason Vargas pitched into the seventh inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the Texas Rangers 4-1 on Wednesday night to finish off a three-game sweep. Vargas (11-7) stranded four runners in scoring position before turning over a two-on, two-out mess to Kelvin Herrera, who escaped the jam. Louis Coleman gave up a run in the eighth before Wade Davis finished off the inning, and Greg Holland worked a perfect ninth for his 42nd save. The victory along with Detroits 7-0 loss to Cleveland allowed the Royals to extend their lead to 1 1/2 games over the Tigers in the AL Central. They are off Thursday before a crucial trip that takes them through the wild card-chasing Yankees and into a three-game set in Detroit. Nick Tepesch (4-9) allowed all four runs over 6 2-3 innings for Texas. The Royals grabbed the lead in the fourth when Omar Infante led off with a single and Gordon homered to deep centre. In the seventh, Salvador Perez and Billy Butler doubled to provide a bit of cushion, and pinch runner Terrance Gore scored on a stolen base and a throwing error. That was more than enough to doom Texas to its fifth straight loss. The biggest problem for the injury plagued Rangers lately has been situational hitting, and it manifested itself again in three close losses to Kansas City. They were 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position Wednesday night, maaking them 3 for 28 over the course of the series.dddddddddddd The sweep of Texas was the first at home for the Royals in seven seasons. Tepesch, who grew up in nearby Blue Springs, Missouri, kept giving the Rangers a chance. He retired his first eight batters and then bounced back from Gordons homer to retire eight of nine. Vargas proved to be just a little bit better. The veteran left-hander, winless in his last six starts against Texas left runners on the corners in the first inning, and somehow navigated leadoff doubles in the third, fourth and sixth. By the time he trudged off the mound on a humid night at Kauffman Stadium, a small but festive crowd of 15,771 had risen to its feet to give him a parting ovation.
