There’s two things to consider when watching this video of

With three days to go until fight time, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor went face to face for one the final times before they step into the ring.

Two titles will go up for grabs at UFC 215 as Demetrious Johnson takes on Ray Borg and Amanda Nunes faces Valentina Shevchenko after they were originally scheduled to meet in July.

UFC lightweight champ Conor McGregor talks about his training at the UFC Performance Institute days before his boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

As we reported earlier in the week, this Jon Jones news and subsequent fallout will result in a domino effect that will touch many different things. One big domino in the middle of all this is former UFC light heavyweight champion, Daniel Cormier. Coming off his devastating loss, the man already had enough to deal...

This is the song that never ends, Paul Malignaggi just keeps getting worse and worse, my friends. Late last night, it was “revealed” that Malignaggi may have been used by Floyd Mayweather to infiltrate Conor McGregor’s camp. This may have been one of the decisions that backfired against Mayweather, because Malignaggi ended up locked into...

FLOYD, N.Y. – Driving through upstate New York in the days leading up to “The Money Fight,” the sign on the side of the road almost was too good to be true.

No one could have foreseen the unprecedented heights Conor McGregor would reach when he arrived in the Ultimate Fighting Championship a little more than four years ago. A first-rate talent with the charisma to match, McGregor has since turned the mixed martial arts world upside down. He claimed titles in the featherweight and lightweight division, becoming the first fighter in history to hold UFC championships in two weight classes simultaneously. Along the way, he engaged in one of MMA’s most memorable rivalries and felled fellow prospects, pretenders, contenders and future champions, all while enjoying a Midas touch at the box office. McGregor now turns his attention to the Sweet Science’s biggest fish, as he takes on the unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a boxing super fight this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Before McGregor attempts to clear what many view as an impossible hurdle, the latest installment in the Sherdog Top 10 series focuses on his greatest hits: *** OTHERS RECEIVING VOTES: First-Round TKO vs.

With Jones knocking out Cormier (19-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) at UFC 214, Gustafsson appeared to be the strongest candidate to get another title shot. Jones’ camp indicated the Swedish fighter was high on the list of immediate priorities. There were even reports a rematch was in consideration for UFC 218, but UFC President Dana White recently indicated Jones instead was being considered for a heavyweight title fight against champ Stipe Miocic.

Tony Ferguson (22-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC) and Kevin Lee (16-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC), who fight for the interim UFC lightweight title at UFC 216 on Oct. 7 in Las Vegas, stole the show with a heated staredown which included a lot of trash talk.

There are few things in the sports world capable of breeding unique fan creativity like that that of a big fight. Saturday’s boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor might be the biggest of them all.

Ever since UFC president Dana White leaked the first clips of Conor McGregor and Paulie Malignaggi sparring, the speculation has been that those clips were all Conor had for Paulie.

With McGregor embarking on his historic fight against Floyd Mayweather, in just 24-hours, UFC President Dana White confirmed that the Lee vs. Ferguson winner is not guaranteed the next crack at Conor.

Even though we’re right smack in the middle of Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather mania, the UFC is still in their pre-fight hype mode as we ready for their next fight offerings.

First and foremost, they argued that the Agency shouldn’t “frontally attack” concepts such as the First Amendment and freedom of the press. Nor should any program to curb media excesses be announced. While they had praised Page’s suggestion of new legislation, they also argued that the Agency shouldn’t expect anything to materialize. Nor should they expect help from Congress on covert action - it was simply “too easy to argue there’s a public interest in debating actions that could lead to war.” Instead, the Agency should remember that journalists don’t operate in a vacuum and their support/publishing structure can be prevailed upon as a method of tempering a journalist’s activities - especially since the press had “their own reasons for wanting to improve [their] image.”

SAN ANTONIO (August 24, 2017) – The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have re-signed guard Manu Ginobili. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not announced.   The upcoming season will mark Ginobili’s 16th campaign with the Silver and Black, which will make him the eighth player in NBA history to spend his entire career with one team and play at least 16 seasons, along with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, John Stockton, Reggie Miller and John Havlicek.   Over the course of his 15-year NBA career, Ginobili has appeared in 992 games, averaging 13.6 points, 3.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.36 steals in 25.8 minutes. He has shot .447 (4,383-9,799) from the field, .370 (1,431-3,863) from three-point range and .826 (3,270-3,958) from the free throw line.   The native of Argentina was drafted by the Spurs with the 57th overall pick in the second round of the 1999 NBA Draft. Coming to San Antonio in 2002, he is the Spurs all-time NBA leader in three-pointers made (1,431), while ranking second in steals (1,349), third in games (992), fourth in free throws made (3,270), as well as fifth in total points (13,467) and assists (3,838).

Editor’s note: The views and opinions expressed below are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Sherdog.com, its affiliates and sponsors or its parent company, Evolve Media. * * * It’s so very much like Jon Jones -- quaintly destructive and unwittingly arrogant -- to have his second positive steroid test come to light in the middle of fight week buildup for the biggest combat sports spectacle in history: the Floyd Mayweather - Conor McGregor circus this Saturday in Las Vegas. The news actually broke in the middle of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, leading to the Ultimate Fighting Championship boss furiously screaming into his cell phone and then becoming visibly despondent throughout the rest of the fight card designed around auditioning for his promotional heart. And to think of how upset Jones was when Rashad Evans “ruined his special night.” Beyond the cosmic and coincidental circumstances that always seem to make Jones’ malfeasance worse -- there was his first blown U.S. Anti-Doping Agency test during UFC 200 fight week and his April 2015 hit-and-run incident in which he ran back to his car to grab cash but left behind weed, a pipe, condoms, his Nevada Athletic Commission paperwork and Funyuns in the vehicle -- there is a contemplative value in “Bones” getting laid bare once more during the run-up to “The Money Fight” .

Editor’s note: The views and opinions expressed below are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Sherdog.com, its affiliates and sponsors or its parent company, Evolve Media. * * * No matter what happens against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Conor McGregor should never box again. It seems bizarre to say when you consider he’s facing arguably the greatest pound-for-pound boxer of all-time and could potentially cash a nine-figure check when it is all said and done this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. However, McGregor doesn’t need to box again after he faces Mayweather. What’s the point? Let’s assume the most outlandish of outcomes takes place and McGregor knocks out Mayweather. The fallout would be tremendous, and McGregor would immediately crown himself as the “King of Boxing.” Kings should defend their crown, right? Not in this case. Assuming McGregor pulls off what would arguably be the biggest upset in sports history, the only place he can truly go is down. If you are David, you don’t give Goliath a rematch, and more importantly, you don’t give everyone else a chance to ruin your pristine record.

The half-guard is among the most used techniques in BJJ, and has many variations that enable you to put your foe with their back on the mat. Among the numerous maneuvers that can be used to sweep your opponent from the half-guard, Vincent Colcol teaches here an interesting variation that can catch enemies by surprise. The important detail is the switching of hooks on the leg, and the grip to the opponent's shin to get the sweep done. #jiujitsu #bjj #brazilianjiujitsu

“When somebody’s wrestling, you’re obviously going to be very highly anaerobic and you’re going to be burning a lot of carbs. In that sense, weight is such a big issue, it’s a huge advantage when I’m wrestling somebody or on top of somebody. Just by sheer physics if I have more weight behind me, I can push somebody over more efficiently. Where as with boxing, you have the clinch but it’s only for a few seconds so weight isn’t as much of a matter so you want to keep the weight lower for boxing. You don’t have a drastic cut. You want to make sure you have speed because speed is key in boxing,” Lockhart said.

Aaron Pico entered his Bellator MMA debut as one of the promotion’s most hyped prospects in recent memory, but he left Madison Square Garden that night as just another fighter with an 0-1 record. It was far from your average debut, however. Pico occupied a sport on the Bellator: NYC pay-per-view card, and he was paired with Zach Freeman , who entered the matchup with an 8-2 record and experience against viable competition on the regional circuit. The unheralded Freeman stunned Pico with a right uppercut and quickly ensnared his foe in a tight guillotine, forcing the tapout just 24 seconds into the opening stanza. Suddenly, the hype train came to a screeching halt. Pico was packaged with a number of standout wrestlers as Bellator’s next generation of prospects. But while the likes of Ed Ruth , Tyrell Fortune , Jarrod Trice and Joey Davis have been brought along much more slowly against less experienced opposition, the 20-year-old American Kickboxing Academy product was thrown into the fire immediately. Davis, who has known Pico since they were kids, felt for his sometime training partner as he watched the action unfold at Madison Square Garden that night.

The information released thus far is based on Jones’ A sample from the drug test. There is still a B sample, which was part of the same collection, that has to be tested to confirm or refute the result of the A sample. Kawa is of course hoping the sample comes back negative, but either way, he doesn’t believe Jones knowingly took any prohibited substances in order to gain an advantage.

Kobold (18-3-1) returns to fighting at LFA 20 to take on former Invicta FC veteran Christine Stanley (5-3) in a main card 125-pound bout on Friday in Prior Lake, Minn.

A featherweight championship rematch between Patricio Freire and Daniel Weichel will headline Bellator 188 when the California-based promotion returns to Israel on Nov. 16. Bellator announced the pairing on Wednesday. Additionally, John Salter will lock horns with Anatoly Tokov in the middleweight co-main event. Bellator 188 takes place Menora Mivtachim Arena Arena in Tel Aviv, Israel. Freire and Weichel first met at Bellator 138, where “Pitbull” scored a spectacular knockout of his German opponent 32 seconds into the second round on June 19, 2015. After losing the belt to Daniel Straus at Bellator 145, Freire reclaimed the throne with a second-round submission of Straus at Bellator 178 on April 21. Weichel, meanwhile, has won four consecutive bouts since losing to Freire. Most recently, the 32-year-old Team MMA Spirit representative garnered a split verdict over John Teixeira da Conceicao at Bellator 177. The M-1 Challenge veteran has won eight of his nine Bellator appearances.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers on the scene say the train collided with a group of seven rail cars that were sitting on the track for an unknown reason. The collision caused one of the tankers to spill a non-flammable liquid and one of the grain cars to spill. CSX says the spill could take several hours to clean up.

Strong pay-per-view demand for the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas caused problems for cable and satellite systems, especially when people tried to order at the last second, which delayed the start of the fight. It's another sting to the reputation of an industry that's already beset with criticism over poor service and competition from streaming video providers.

Restam pouco mais de 24h para o duelo de combate mais aguardado dos últimos tempos. Os superlativos são inúmeros para falar da luta de entre Floyd Mayweather e Conor McGregor . De um lado, um pugilista multicampeão invicto numa carreira com 49 lutas. Do outro, um artista marcial que é o único a ser dono de dois cinturões do UFC ao mesmo tempo, e que faz sua estreia no boxe. Como de costume, os jornalistas do Combate.com não deixarão de palpitar.

“Seemed like (Malignaggi) was trying to get my attention, and so I looked,” Attar said. “I was startled initially. I’m like, ‘Come on. Come on, Paulie, let it go.’ But, ultimately, I kind of spoke my peace. And he spoke his. But look, again he seems like a really nice guy. I don’t know. He says he’s only talking because of a picture.
