NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Despite back-to-back embarrassing losses to Oakland?and Tennessee, Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan is not making a coaching change.After the Jaguars 36-22 loss?to the Titans on Thursday night, Khan told the Florida Times-Union, Actions speak louder than words. Very little for me to say. He later added that coach Gus Bradley would not be fired.A source close to the team confirmed to ESPN that Khan is not going to fire Bradley, who is 14-41 in his four seasons with the Jaguars. Khan is going to stick with the man whom he tasked with rebuilding a franchise that had apparently hit rock bottom in 2012, the source said -- at least for now, anyway.Thursdays loss was the low point of Bradleys tenure. It came just three days after Khan spoke to the team and asked the players why they werent winning games and what he could do to help. It was not a confrontational meeting, but there certainly was an unspoken message that things needed to get better.Instead, the Jaguars gave up 354 yards and trailed 27-0 at halftime. The Jaguars are now 2-5 and have lost 18 of their past 20 road games, which includes a seven-game losing streak against AFC South opponents.Despite that, Bradley said he was not worried about his job.I worry about this team and why did we perform like that in the first half and figuring out how can we get it right, he said.Quarterback Blake Bortles, who turned in another dismal first-half performance (8-of-16 for 64 yards), said the players deserve more of the blame for the teams struggles.I know Im 100 percent behind Gus, Bortles said. I believe in him 100 percent and what were trying to do here. Gus isnt the one committing dumb penalties. Gus isnt the one turning the ball over. Gus isnt the one not making plays. Thats on us as a locker room and as players.Gus has been my head coach since Ive been in the NFL, and I would love to play my NFL career for Gus Bradley.That will depend on how many games the Jaguars win the rest of the season. Thats going to be tough because the Jaguars entered Thursday nights game with the third-toughest remaining schedule in the NFL based on opponents win-loss record. Only one team, Indianapolis, enters this weekends games with a losing record.Everyone knows [Bradley is under pressure to win] and feels strong about Gus, receiver Allen Hurns said. No matter what it is, you try not to listen to it or let it get to you, but its kind of impossible now. But hopefully theyll just stick it out with him, but we need to find something to get this team going, whether its next week -- we have to find a way.Hes always going to take the blame because hes the head coach, but weve got to win. Its that time. Weve got to win. Anton Lindholm Jersey . Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee? Green had bounced around the NBA when he wasnt playing overseas.

Miocic (15-2), an Ohio firefighter, used his superior boxing skills to devastating effect, tagging Werdum as he charged forward, before finishing him with strikes on the ground just 2 minutes and 47 seconds into their heavyweight championship fight.Werdum, who won the title by upsetting Cain Velasquez in Mexico last June, started patiently as he targeted Miocic with leg kicks and sought an opening for a takedown so he could utilise his superior his jiu-jitsu. But his patience quickly evaporated in front of his vocal home support and he attempted to charge Miocic while winging punches.Miocic, a former amateur boxer, expertly circled away from the attack and unleashed a short, crisp right hand which crumpled Werdum to the canvas. Referee Dan Miragliotta stepped in almost immediately to call an end to the bout.Celebrating in front of a disappointed sell-out crowd at Arena da Baixada, Miocic shouted: Cleveland, this is for you!Honestly, Fabricio is tough. He had me guessing. We trained hard, man. I have a good right hand. Thank God. He caught me off-guard a little. I wasnt opening up like I wanted to. Hes got good jiu-jitsu. I was worried about the takedown.Werdum, who hadnt lost since re-joining the UFC in 2012, promised to come back stronger after just the second knockout loss of his nearly 14-year career.Werdum said: I have to admit that he was better than me. But I will do all I can to come back and be champion again.In the co-main event, Ronaldo Jacare Souza made the biggest statement of his UFC career by finishing compatriot Vitor Belfort (25-12) via first-round TKO.The stoppage came at the 4:38 mark, after Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Souza took Belfort down, moved into mount and hammered him with elbows and punches.It was a dominant displlay by Souza, who out-landed Belfort in total strikes by 51 to 4, according to Fightmetric.ddddddddddddThe win puts Souza in pole position for a middleweight title shot against the winner of champion Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman, who meet for the belt at UFC 199.I deserve the title shot, Souza said through an interpreter. I think I earned it and I deserved this fight.
