Following his Tour de France stage 16 win, sprinter Jasper Philipsen recognised that he now had a small chance of conquering the green jersey for a second year running. But with only hilly or mountainous stages and a time trial left in this year’s Tour, the Belgian star was definitely not counting his ‘points chickens’ before they were hatched.“About 5%,” Philipsen responded when asked how great his chances were of wearing green on the final podium of the Tour de France, which will now hinge on points won and lost in the four remaining intermediate sprints between Nîmes and Nice.Philipsen…

By: Sean Crose Give Jake Paul this – the man keeps active. After a major July novelty bout with Mike Tyson was postponed (if not outright scratched), the social media influencer turned professional boxer could have taken it easy. That sort of thing, however, simply isn’t Paul’s style. Instead of kicking back for the summer, Paul decided to challenge himself. Hence, the fighter known as “The Problem Child” will be facing bare knuckle attraction Mike Perry on Saturday night in Tampa, Florida. The scheduled eight rounder will be the main event of a DAZN pay per view card. While Perry…

If Utah is unable to trade Markkanen this summer, which would kick off a full rebuild, they are comfortable…
Months after UFC was nearing a deal that would potentially free them from facing accusations of antitrust practices in a legal setting ever again, they will soon find out if that beneficial agreement will actually come to fruition. Earlier this year, the promotion was ready to cut a check worth $335 million and agree to some contractual changes in exchange for eliminating a pair of class action lawsuits representing groups of fighters. This deal, while in the nine-figures, was significantly less than the potential billions of dollars that a lawsuit would cause in damages. And due to a waiver in…
