The Arizona Coyotes hope a new sponsorship agreement with Gila River Casinos will bring in more money for the team and the city of Glendale. Bradley Beal Jersey . On Wednesday the team announced a nine-year agreement to rename their rink Gila (pronounce hee-lah) River Arena. It was the latest in a line of long-term corporate contracts the Coyotes have entered into to entrench themselves in Arizona. "This is all about the economic viability of this club," co-owner, president and CEO Anthony LeBlanc told a conference call. "This is the most significant deal that we have in our corporate sponsors." As long as this deal is approved Sept. 9 by the Glendale City Council, the building formerly known as Jobing.com Arena will have its new name the next day. LeBlanc, part of the teams Canadian-led ownership group, said the city will receive US$600,000 from the agreement and that he didnt expect approval to be a problem. LeBlanc didnt reveal how much the Coyotes will get from the new agreement. The previous deal with Jobing.com that the team terminated was reportedly worth $30 million over 10 years. Gila River Arena will be the first North American professional sports stadium named by a federally recognized Native American tribe. It will also be the first named after a casino, but LeBlanc didnt express any concern about connecting the NHL team to a gambling institution. Gambling on hockey and other sports is illegal in the state of Arizona. Gila Rivers three casinos offer slots, poker and other table games. "Obviously we went through our due diligence in the process, and we worked very closely with the National Hockey League ... to ensure that it falls within the requirements, and obviously it did," LeBlanc said. "This wouldnt have been announced without the league blessing it." Since new ownership closed its deal to buy the Coyotes in August 2013, it has put a priority on selling tickets and suites and picking up more corporate sponsors to grow the teams reach. That hasnt stopped speculation and criticism from the outside, though LeBlanc again brushed it off Wednesday. "I couldnt care less what the critics have to say," LeBlanc said. "None of our motivation has to do with anyones going to be critical about this franchise. If theyre critical, they quite frankly dont understand what it is that were doing." Jason Smith Jersey .

UFC president Dana White announced at a press conference on Tuesday that Velasquez will return from a shoulder injury to defend his title against Fabricio Werdum at "The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America" finale on Nov. 15 in Mexico City. "Its the no brainer," White said. "This is where all the baddest fighters have come from for years. This is the new martial art people are taking all over the world. Its no secret the best fighters forever have come from Mexico and Latin America. It has always needed to happen." Velasquez, born in Salinas, California to Mexican immigrants, has been sidelined with a torn labrum in his shoulder since his last title defence, a TKO victory over Junior Dos Santos at UFC 166 last October. "Its a great honour for me," the champion said through a translator. "Im ready for this ... and its going to be a dream come true that i get to fight here in Mexico. Velasquez had surgery in December and fully expects to be prepared for the fight that culminates his participation as a coach on the hit reality show opposite Werdum. The show will feature a group of fighters from two weight classes - bantamweight (135 pounds) and featherweight (145 pounds). "t;Im going to do whatever I can do to fight here in Mexico and Im going to do whatever it takes to give a good fight," Velasquez said. Ian Mahinmi Jersey. White was quick to dispel any potential jinxes that could come in the form of a training injury or any other physical misfortunes that do occur in a contact sport. "Obviously, I think having Cain here is important. Its a contact sport, anything can happen," White said. "I want to make sure that when we come to Mexico for the first time we bring the best fighters and the best fights." "Hes a young guy, he should be healing up pretty well." On the other had, Werdum wouldnt mind facing a less-than perfect champion. "I dont mind if Cain wants to fight with injury because I would love it," the Brazilian said laughing, also through a translator. As for the other fights on the card. White says its too early to predict anything. "Its so far away. As we get closer well start to build the card," he said. "You know i want to come into Mexico with a bang." "People are going to come from all over the world to see this event. Believe me, its a monumental event," he added. "Weve been talking about it for years and years. People are going to come from all over the world to see this event."
