Tons of violent knockouts, slick submissions, and back-and-forth wars made up the past 12 months, and so, as we’ve taken to doing the past few years, it’s time to celebrate the 36 fighters who contributed most to our enjoyment this year. The concept is simple: The three fighters in each weight class who had the best year based on excitement, activity, and accomplishment. We’re not just talking about who are the best fighters, but which fighters delivered the…

Hello all, it’s December again. For those of us north of the equator, we’re just days away from the shortest day of the year, the day which we all say ‘yay summer’s coming’ only to find that we still have all of January to get through. But here we are again. And although the year seems to have flown by, it’s been a really busy one with a lot of exciting chapters.I often find December to be a month of contemplation. Partly that’s a result of needing to write this roundup of my favourite things, but mainly because in the calm…

And though Clemson fell short of Omaha after losing two wild and competitive home games against Florida in super regionals, it is clear that Erik Bakich’s program has big-time momentum and will remain a perennial threat to get back to the College World Series.Bakich said this fall…
Earlier this month, the Wallaroos fixtures for 2025 were announced, with Jo Yapp’s side set to play seven fixtures before they head to England to take part in the World Cup.However, while interacting on social media about the news, a question came up about a particular player who is likely to play the Wallaroos when they take the field against the USA Eagles in Canberra.“Who’s Ilona Maher?”Now, obviously, I recognise that as an editor on an Australian rugby site, a question like this might not be out of the ordinary. Rugby is a massive game internationally with a rapidly growing women’s…

Amid claims he is weighing up a lightweight move in his return, Ilia Topuria has been urged to honor a fight with Alexander Volkanovski first and foremost by Dan Hooker — who labelled the unbeaten featherweight champion a “d*ckhead” for trying to find a way out of the rematch. Topuria, the current undisputed featherweight champion, retained his title for the first time back in October in the headliner of UFC 308, taking out former champion, Max Holloway with a hellacious third round knockout in their grudge fight in Abu Dhabi. As for Hooker, the City Kickboxing star has been lined…
Special Sets: The Training of Rising 11-Year-Old Standout Millie Conner It’s early yet. Still, that doesn’t stop 11-year-old Millie Conner from plotting her swimming career. It is mapped out in the 30-40 swimming journals she keeps “filled with words, time and personal goals, charts, graphs and thoughts about each meet she swims,” says her father, Nick.
