Justin Gaethje willing to wait for crack at Islam Makhachev

Justin Gaethje considers the only unfinished business he has right now at lightweight is a title shot. The former UFC interim lightweight champion and BMF champion told ESPN on Wednesday that he will wait for as long as he has to if he does not get the next opportunity at titleholder Islam Makhachev. “Who do I fight?” Gaethje said. “There’s no one. I did what I had to do. … I don’t know what else I need to do.” Charles Oliveira, the former UFC lightweight champion, was scheduled to challenge Makhachev at UFC 294 last weekend. But Oliveira sustained a cut 12 days before […]

D-backs top Phillies in Game 7, make 1st World Series since ’01

Doubted and dismissed when baseball’s postseason started, the Arizona Diamondbacks have spent October embodying the words of their manager, Torey Lovullo. “Anything can happen,” he likes to tell them. What happened Tuesday night set up perhaps the most improbable World Series in baseball history: The Diamondbacks stunned the heavily favored Philadelphia Phillies with a 4-2 triumph in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series. For the second consecutive night, they sauntered into Citizens Bank Park, a hellscape for visiting teams that had gone winless during the first six games here this postseason, and defeated the Phillies twice. In doing so, the 84-win Diamondbacks, […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo secures 3-year, $186M extension

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has agreed on a three-year, $186 million contract extension, his agent, Alex Saratsis, revealed Monday. The deal — which includes a player option for the 2027-2028 season — commits Antetokounmpo, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, to the franchise through the duration of guard Damian Lillard’s contract and ends the chance of him entering free agency in 2025. The extension, which Antetokounmpo first announced on social media, is yet one more commitment from the superstar to the franchise that drafted him out of Greece in 2013 with the 15th overall pick and nurtured his development into one of the […]

Ben Shelton wins Japan Open for first career ATP title

Ben Shelton earned his first tour title, defeating Aslan Karatsev 7-5, 6-1 at the Japan Open on Sunday. The 21-year-old American, who made his first tour semifinal appearance at the US Open last month, continued his recent rich vein of form in Tokyo, making 18 winners and dominating his Russian opponent with his swinging lefty serve as he closed out the final in 84 minutes. “That meant a lot to me and my team,” Shelton said. “We have been working really hard since the beginning to build my game and win titles on the ATP Tour. I made some deep runs lately. […]

Sergio Perez 100% certain of 2024 Red Bull seat

Sergio Pérez has denied reports he is set to retire from Formula One at the end of this year and remains 100 percent sure he will be a Red Bull driver in 2024. Perez is currently a distant second to teammate Max Verstappen in the drivers’ championship this year, scoring just 224 points to the recently crowned champion’s 433. At the past three races, Perez has slumped even further, scoring just five points compared to Verstappen’s 69. The pressure building on Perez heightened last week when a poster on Reddit claimed they had information from a representative at Mexican telecoms giant Telmex that […]

Astros win ALCS Game Three, Pull within One Game in Series

After dropping matches one and two to the Texas Rangers in Houston, the Astros headed to Arlington for game three needing a victory to give them a fighting opportunity to head back to the World Series, and they did just that. After not leading at any point through the first 19 innings of the series, the Astros got their first lead in the second inning thanks to a passed ball that brought Yordan Alvarez in from third base, and then on the very next pitch Martín Maldonado put Houston up 3-0 with a single through the left side of the […]

Edson Barboza completes comeback, outlasts Sodiq Yusuff

Sodiq Yusuff absolutely pummeled Edson Barboza throughout the first round of their featherweight main event on Saturday in Las Vegas. Unfortunately for Yusuff, it wasn’t a one-round fight. Barboza (24-11) survived a dreadful opening round en route to a comeback unanimous decision victory at UFC Fight Night. All three judges called it for Barboza, via scores of 49-46, 48-46 and 48-46. Yusuff, 30, hurt Barboza badly with punches in the opening round, to the point it looked like the veteran was out on his feet. Barboza recovered, however, and went on to control the majority of the remaining 20 minutes. “I really felt […]
