BY THOMAS GERBASI REGIS Prograis pauses, choosing his words carefully before answering a question that was either the simplest or the most difficult. The Louisiana native agrees that it’s the latter when asked what he misses the most about being a world champion. “Well, everybody still calls me ‘Champ’ because I did it twice already,” the two-time super-lightweight king chuckles. “But it is the most difficult question to answer. It’s just like, man, for me, being back on top again and having a belt and being able to say, ‘I am the world champion’ right now, that’s the main thing.” …

Conor McGregor is not happy with the current state of MMA. McGregor was not impressed with the action he saw on Saturday night. In particular, the PFL ‘Battle of the Giants’ pay-per-view that saw Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Eblen retain his title against Fabian Edwards with a grapple-heavy game plan that was both effective at winning the fight and putting viewers to sleep. Following the fight, McGregor took to social media and delivered a scathing response to Eblen’s performance and mixed martial arts as a whole. “Act like yous aren’t fed up and over this bullsh*t all yous want, but…

In the first two weekends of the season, the ‘Bows won games against SEC-based Ole Miss and ACC-based North Carolina State. Keep in mind that this was a Wolfpack team that eventually ended up playing its last few games in Omaha at the College World Series. Cool as that was, the most impressive key to last season was how the Rainbows ended the season. As head…
