The lightweight contender takes on Renato Moicano in Saturday’s UFC Paris headliner in front of a supportive French crowd and in a city where he has never lost. Saint Denis has twice competed in his nation’s capital, both times scoring second-round knockouts, against Thiago Moises in 2023 and Gabriel Miranda in 2022.

Women Uster – Zürich 154.2 km The big weekend races on what we now know is a leg sapping and grueling circuit. Don’t forget that stupidly the UCI are haning out the U23 medal from this race too. Expected finish : 16:50 CEST Swiss cheese of the Day: Lotte Kopecky Having seen in the U23 what a big power rider can do you probably have to give the edge to Kopecky over Vollering in what could come down to an(other) internal SD Worx battle. Elisa Longo Borghini to round out the podium wouldn’t surprise anyone either even if the Americans…

Garcia was stripped of his win and was suspended by the New York State Athletic Commission (the bout with Haney had gone down at Brooklyn’s Barclay’s Center). Considering the fact that Garcia’s behavior…
