Enjoying an impressive return to action this year with his eighth straight victory against King Green, Paddy Pimblett has welcomed the chance to take on former interim welterweight champion, Colby Covington at 170lbs next year — as well as former duel-weight champion, Conor McGregor. Pimblett, who currently holds the number fourteen rank in the lightweight pile, has been sidelined since he turned in a dominant opening round triangle armbar submission win over the above-mentioned, Green at UFC 304 back in July in Manchester. And plotting a potential return to action before the end of the year, Pimblett revealed that it…
2024 WORLD AQUATICS SWIMMING WORLD CUP-SHANGHAI DAY 1 HEATS START LIST If you’ve been thinking to yourself that it has been a long time since the end of the Olympics and you have missed the international swimming scene, then do I have news for you. Its back. The first session of the first leg of the 2024 World Aquatics Swimming World Cup is about to start. This year, the series reverts back to short course meters, and while some may be taking a break from the sport after a grueling three-year quad between the Olympics, the first stop is still…
Australian Declan Irvine (Team Novo Nordisk) is a bit wary of the ‘big’ elements at Big Sugar Gravel this Saturday. He’s competed twice at The Traka 200, finished top 25 at Unbound Gravel 200 and raced at the 2023 UCI Gravel World Championships. Those were all big events, but it is the size of the gravel and challenges of the undulating terrain at Big Sugar Gravel that have him focused on how to stay properly fueled. After all, he’s not just competing against an all-star field of gravel competitors, many of them battling for final positions in the Life Time Grand…

LAS VEGAS – Su Mudaerji has been down this one particular road in MMA, and he isn’t sure he wants to trust taking it again. On it, against Tim Elliott this past December, he maybe kinda sorta thought he had a gentleman’s agreement in place to stand and trade in their flyweight fight. Instead, he soon found himself on the canvas and was submitted in the first round.
