30+ min ago (448+ words) Nov 30, 2025 | 10:19 PM EST Chael Sonnen's take is simple: the fight no longer works as champ vs. champ because both fighters are already facing serious threats. "The fight's gotten further apart. It's not overly interesting anymore" We're not certain Islam can get over on Kamar. We're not certain Ilia can get over on Tsarukyan." In short, the intensity faded as their divisions became louder than the super-fight. However, "The American Gangster' also noted a wrinkle created by the rankings committee'and the storyline he believes both guys should be competing for. When Makhachev won the welterweight title, the pound-for-pound No. 1 ranking quietly returned to him. "El Matador' did not lose, get downgraded, or even fight, but he still lost his top rank. Pointing it out, Sonnen didn't hold back further in his YouTube video, as he went off on the rankings commission:…...

49+ min ago (567+ words) Nov 30, 2025 | 10:00 PM EST For a while, there have been rumors that the Fireballs are heading for a complete Spanish roster in the upcoming season. It was reported that Abraham Ancer would soon leave Garcia's shadow to join Joaquin Neimann's Torque GC. If that happens, Spaniard Luis Masaveu would find a pathway to the Fireballs. When GolfMagic asked for confirmation from the veteran captain, Garcia refused to comment. With Puig, Ballester, and Garcia all Spanish, Luis Masaveu's entry will be like a lost puzzle piece. The Madrid-born player has already played nine times this season for the Fireballs. But due to his decision to focus on the Challenge Tour, he stepped away, which led Ballester to take the spot. But even in those limited LIV appearances, Masaveu was able to deliver decent results. " #LIV GOLF TRADE " Abraham Ancer is reportedly on…...

With five games still to go, his injury makes the playoff path even steeper. Head coach Kevin O'Connell offered an update on where things stand. In the post-game, O'Connell did not hide the reality or pretend the situation was simple. Instead, he explained the next step for McCarthy. "We'll see how he does tomorrow. Our goal is to be clear, and he can have a good week of practice and have an opportunity to play next week," Minnesota head coach said. The Packers' loss before that injury was already rough for him. He threw two interceptions and finished with only 87 passing yards, his lowest mark of the year. His passer rating sank to 34.2, the worst of his career. Across his six starts,…...

They've got the payroll to make Tucker the biggest signing of the offseason. However, according to MLB insider Robbie Hyde, if the Jays end up backing out of the Tucker chase and the Dodgers eventually win it, that $210 million gamble might be the reason. "Lately, we have been getting reports that the Blue Jays could be the favorites, but they just signed Dylan Cease to a long-term deal.
