VANCOUVER - Rory MacDonald says he doesnt feel any added pressure to carry Canadas mixed martial arts torch in Georges St-Pierres absence. Ramon Humber Jersey . In fact, his mentors hiatus from the UFC makes McDonalds quest to reach the top of the welterweight division a little easier. "It opens things up for me to get to where I want to be," MacDonald said this week. "Ive learned a lot from Georges. No extra pressure, Ive just got to be myself." It remains to be seen if St-Pierre will return to the sport he dominated, but the 24-year-old MacDonald — who goes by the nickname "Ares" — is intent on continuing his climb this Saturday at UFC 174 when he takes on Tyron (The Chosen One) Woodley in the co-main event at Rogers Arena. Both men have their sights set on Johny Hendricks welterweight title, with MacDonald ranked as the No. 2 challenger and Woodley at No. 3. Shy in front of the media glare, MacDonald said he just has to continue working on what has brought him to this point. "I think people like me for who I am," said MacDonald, who was born in Quesnel, B.C., but now trains in Montreal. "Ive gotten to the position Im in because of being who I am — a couple stumbles along the way but I feel like Im hitting my stride right now." One of those stumbles actually came in Vancouver when MacDonald (16-2) lost at UFC 115 in June 2010 to Carlos Condit. His only other defeat came to Robbie Lawler in a split decision at UFC 167 in November, but MacDonald rebounded to beat Demian Maia in a split decision at UFC 170 in February. "You pick and choose your spots. You play between defence and offence against other good fighters," said MacDonald. "I just had a great training camp. No injuries and things went great. I felt great in my sparrings and my techniques are sharp." Woodley (13-2), a two-time All-American wrestler at the University of Missouri, has just three UFC bouts under his belt, including a technical knockout victory over Condit at UFC 171 in March. MacDonald said if he fights to his strengths against Woodley, he should come out on top. "I know the techniques. They come out as instinct right now," said MacDonald. "Ive trained them so much. So Ive just got to go in there and do my thing. "Im ready for everything. Last time here was unbelievable, the response I got. If its the same, more, or less Ill be ready." In a era where athletes in all sports are constantly looking for an edge, MacDonald said he doesnt study video of his opponents before a fight, preferring to use his instincts. "Ive fought a lot of people in the past — never seen them, never heard of them and had to deal with their problems," he said. "I find it easier to do it like that, to react in the cage." MacDonald is hoping for the same against Woodley on Saturday night. "Hes a great fighter. To beat him you have to be tricky and use good techniques," he said. "I feel very confident in my abilities and the solutions I have."

It was a great job by Frank.Great job by Kap, Gore offered, standing next to his quarterback on the postgame podium.Coach Jim Harbaugh didnt see Gore open and had no idea where Kaepernick was going on that play.Kap did a great job keeping his eyes up field. I had no idea. When he stopped, pulled it up and started to throw, I didnt know where he was going with the ball, Harbaugh said. The speed, the angle, the way he got into the end zone was something. I didnt think he was going to get it in.Regardless, the 49ers got Gore involved in the offence again, and it returned them to their winning ways. Hard-nosed defence helped, too.At least for one Sunday, it seems the Niners reclaimed their offensive identity and defensive swagger.The 49ers (2-2) avoided their first three-game losing streak under Harbaugh, containing the leagues top passer.Nick Foles threw two incomplete passes from the 1 in the waning moments after gaining six first downs on a lengthy drive, more than the five the Eagles managed before that.We just didnt execute, its as simple as that, Foles said. Im not going to break it down or anything.Foles completed a 22-yard pass to Jeremy Maclin on the right sideline on that late drive.

Its the skill set that he possesses. Hes able to make plays like that happen.But on San Franciscos next series, Kaepernick threw right to Jenkins and he broke three tackles on the way to the end zone.The 49ers won their first game at new Levis Stadium, where thousands of fans skipped out at halftime.San Francisco outgained the Eagles 232-73 in the first half, but still trailed 21-13.
