LANDOVER, Md. -- Steve Clark stood firm to save Fabian Espindolas penalty kick in second-half stoppage time and preserve the Columbus Crews 0-0 draw with D.C. United on Saturday night. The shutout, just Columbus third of the season, prevented United (6-4-4) from leaping above the New England Revolution into first place in the Eastern Conference. Columbus (4-5-6) finished the season series against United with a win and two draws. The Crew won just once in its last 12 matches overall. Clark saved the penalty simply by remaining upright. Espindola attempted to fake the goalkeeper into a dive, and then chipped his kick straight at Clark, who caught it easily for his third stop of the game. Referee Hilario Grajeda awarded the kick after he ruled that Columbus defender Bernardo Anor handled the ball inside the penalty area. Columbus earned the draw despite missing injured leading scorer Federico Higuain (hamstring) and Costa Rican World Cup call-ups Waylon Francis and Giancarlo Gonzalez. The Crew were also without forward Alvaro Rey, who was acquired Friday from Toronto FC for Dominic Oduro. United, which was without suspended midfielder Perry Kitchen, lost striker Eddie Johnson in the 58th minute to an apparent injury to his right leg. Columbus created more of the second-half chances. In the 55th minute, United goalkeeper Bill Hamid dove left to block Anors firm, low strike before Ethan Finlay fired his rebound effort well high. Later, D.C. defender Bobby Boswell deflected Ben Speas shot from the right just inches outside the left post. United almost got a break when Columbus defender Tony Tchani nearly deflected a cross into his own goal. But on the other end, Hamid pushed away Adam Bedells strike in the 83rd minute after Finlay found Bedell from the right side. Clark appeared to take down D.C.s Steve Birnbaum inside the penalty area in the 89th minute, but Grajeda didnt rule a foul. Clark then dove to his right to save Jared Jeffreys low shot early into stoppage time, and shortly after stopped Espindola. Quinten Rollins Jersey .

This is a true game-changer.The new athlete outfitting policy will start in July 2015.Fertitta declined to detail the value of the Reebok deal but said the vast majority if not all of the revenues will go to the fighters in the beginning. The UFC hopes to dip into the revenue itself down the line as it grows.For the UFC, a partnership with Reebok adds legitimacy to combat sports. Indeed, its a far cry from condom and gun shop ads that used to adorn fighter shorts.Fighters will be paid to wear the new gear on a per-fight basis. How much they get will be based on their ranking the day of the weigh-in. Champions will make the most, with subsequent tiers for fighters ranked No. 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 and those not ranked.The rankings are voted on by a media panel.Fighters will also get royalties on gear with their likeness.Previously fighters were essentially allowed to walk in wearing gear advertising their own sponsors. If their sponsor was not connected to the UFC and was of a certain size, it would have to pay the UFC an affiliation fee. Some elite fighters also shared in revenue from top UFC sponsors who elected to use them.Fighters alsso had their own deals.ddddddddddddLight-heavyweight champion Jon (Bones) Jones, for example, has a deal with Nike. Former welterweight title-holder Georges St-Pierre had his own line with Affliction.Fighters can keep those sponsors although they wont be able to wear them into the Octagon.So no different than any other professional sports league, said Fertitta. Obviously if you play in the NFL, Tom Brady wears a Nike uniform, DeMarco Murray wears a Nike uniform but Tom Brady is actually sponsored by Under Armour and DeMarco Murray is sponsored by Adidas.The UFC has some 500 male and female fighters under contract.Most of the people Ive talked to, they really get it. Theyre excited about it, said UFC president Dana White.Now they will have to wear Reebok into the cage and the sponsor banners that were displayed during pre-bout introductions will disappear. But Fertitta says fighters will still have their own look under the new deal. It will allow for each of the fighters individuality but also will provide a unique iconic and consistent look for all the athletes, Fertitta said.Fighters cornermen will also wear Reebok gear.Interested to see what girls will have for @Reebok apparel. Hoping we have an option to wear more than sports bra and short shorts #modesty, tweeted Victoria bantamweight Sarah Kaufman, ranked No. 5 among 135-pound contenders. The new partnership will see UFC-Reebok gear in 1,500 Reebok stores and other retail outlets worldwide.Ita a massive, massive move for the sport of MMA and the brand of UFC and the fighters brands, said Fertitta.Reebok will also invest in research and development to create and innovate new products for training in the sports of mixed martial arts. A percentage of revenue from the deal will go to Fight for Peace, a non-profit organization.The UFC had hoped to announce the Reebok partnership at a Las Vegas news conference last month but did not get it done it in time.———Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter.
