Islam Makhachev submits Dustin Poirier to retain UFC title

Dustin Poirier is widely recognized as the greatest UFC fighter to never hold an undisputed championship, and Islam Makhachev made sure that remained true Saturday night, submitting him in the fifth round to retain the lightweight title during UFC 302 at the Prudential Center. Makhachev had to fight hard versus a resilient adversary who did everything in his power to dethrone UFC’s No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in front of a crowd that desperately wanted to see Poirier achieve his dream. But on this night, Makhachev (26-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) would gladly accept the role as both villain and dream shatterer. For 4½ rounds, […]

Wilder ‘had to regain’ his love for boxing, and now is time for business

Deontay Wilder strolled into a small meeting room at London’s Marriott Hotel back in April, with manager Shelly Finkel right behind him to promote his upcoming fight versus Zhilei Zhang. His confidence radiated, but he also appeared to understand the pressure that comes with it. Depending on the outcome, the Zhang fight could be his “last dance,” Wilder said. His heavyweight clash against Zhang on Saturday is arguably the most intriguing fight on a stacked card billed as “5 vs. 5: Matchroom vs. Queensberry” in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. After three loses in his last four fights — two of those by […]

Mets say Jorge Lopez’s post-ejection glove toss ‘not acceptable’

The New York Mets held a players-only team meeting Wednesday night after getting swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 10-3 loss that included another late-inning bullpen implosion and reliever Jorge Lopez throwing his glove into his stands after being ejected. The score was tied at 3-3 heading into the eighth inning before the Dodgers scored six times against three relievers. One was Lopez, who took issue with third-base umpire Ramon De Jesus’ ruling on a check swing from Shohei Ohtani. Lopez wound up surrendering a two-run home run to Ohtani. He kept arguing with De Jesus while falling behind 3-1 to Freddie Freeman before the umpire ejected […]

Nick Diaz returns, Sandhagen vs. Nurmagomedov at UFC Abu Dhabi

Nick Diaz, one of the most popular fighters in mixed martial arts history, will return to the UFC in August. Diaz (26-10) will face Vicente Luque (22-10-1) in a five-round welterweight fight at UFC Fight Night on Aug. 3 in Abu Dhabi. UFC CEO Dana White announced the fight on Wednesday.
