UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira wasn’t going to miss out on a big opportunity.

Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) will run things back with Jiri Prochazka (30-4-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 303 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Pereira got the call less than two weeks ago after the original headliner between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler fell apart. He will make a two-month turnaround after knocking out Jamahal Hill at UFC 300 in April – another main event that came together for him on short notice.

I like taking these opportunities,” Pereria told The MacLife through an interpreter. “I’m going to be 37. I don’t know how much longer I’m going to be fighting. It’s a good opportunity for me to keep myself active, to keep myself training. I’m always training, so these opportunities, you’ve just got to take them whenever they come.”

Pereira’s decision to accept the fight on short notice was also facilitated by his opponent, Prochazka, whom he was already expecting to fight.

“It’s hard to say if I would accept the fight against someone else, but in this case it is Jiri,” Pereira said. “It’s not necessarily the fact that I’ve fought him before and beat him before, but the fact that we knew we were supposed to be fighting soon.

“We didn’t expect it to be this soon, but we were already expecting to fight each other, so I feel like we’re almost around the same timing. If we were to fight in August, this is when we would start picking up training.
Pereira knocked out Prochazka to claim the vacant light heavyweight title this past November at UFC 295. He doesn’t expect a different version of Prochazka when they run things back.

“I don’t think he would have changed that much. It hasn’t been that long,” Pereira said of Prochazka. “I was just watching his last fight yesterday, and obviously you can’t compare because it’s a different fight, but I don’t think he was able to change that much since our last fight. If there’s one thing I could maybe change, it’s my takedown defense.

Arman Tsarukyan’s pre-fight incident with a fan at UFC 300 has come with a cost.

The UFC lightweight contender has been fined $25,000 and suspended nine months by the Nevada Athletic Commission for throwing a punch at a fan during his walkout for his fight against Charles Oliveira on April 13 in Las Vegas. The NAC announced its ruling Tuesday during a monthly board meeting.

Tsarukyan’s suspension is set to terminate nine months from the date of the incident – which is Jan. 12, 2025. The suspension could get reduced to six months if Tsarukyan issues an anti-bullying public service announcement approved by the commission, which would make him eligible to return to action Oct. 12.

Tsarukyan was met with a middle finger by a fan during his walkout before his split decision win over Oliveira. In response, Tsarukyan threw a punch into the crowd, which was captured on the broadcast and from multiple cell phone cameras.

The 27-year-old is currently on a four-fight winning streak and regarded as the next title challenger, given his bout with Oliveira was labeled a “title eliminator” by the UFC.

After Conor McGregor withdrew from Saturday’s headliner vs. Michael Chandler at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas due to a broken pinky toe, the UFC scrambled for a replacement.

Volkanovski (26-4 MMA, 13-3 UFC) vowed to take some time off after being on the receiving end of knockouts against Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria in the span of four months, but he couldn’t fight the temptation of letting the UFC know that he’s willing to save the card.
So I was like, ‘Hey, if you need someone, you know a guy,'” Volkanovski said on his YouTube channel. “I did put my hand up. Obviously seen that some people put that up, so it got out there. Some people think I’m mad, but I am back into training now, and I am excited to get back in there. That’s all it takes, just a little thing like that, and I put my hand up.”

The UFC opted to go with a title-fight rematch between light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka instead. A featherweight co-main event between former title challenger Brian Ortega and surging contender Diego Lopes was also added.

Although Volkanovski was genuine in his offer to step in at UFC 303, he’s grateful that the UFC didn’t entertain his idea.But, it wasn’t me,” Volkanovski continued. “I didn’t get the call back. The UFC were like, ‘Oh no.’ They were sitting saying, ‘You’re a savage, but we’ll let you know if we need you’ type of thing. They knew I said earlier in the year and they said, ‘Look, let’s just have a bit of a break.

So, they were obviously respecting that, so good on them for that. Even though I kept reminding them, everyday I’m like, ‘I’m being serious, let me know.’ But they were sticking to their guns and I guess looking after me. You got to give them respect for that, but I did want to save the day.
Daniel Cormier thinks Robert Whittaker weighing in as the backup for the next UFC middleweight title fight is the right move.

Whittaker (26-7 MMA, 17-5 UFC) scored a first-round knockout of Ikram Aliskerov in Saturday’s UFC on ABC 6 main event at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

After the finish, Whittaker expressed interest in serving as the backup for the UFC 305 headliner between champion Dricus Du Plessis (21-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and Israel Adesanya (24-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) on Aug. 17 in Perth, Australia.
With Whittaker’s only losses in the past 18 fights coming to Du Plessis and twice to Adesanya, Cormier sees everything to gain for Whittaker as a reserve.

“He’s lost to Izzy twice, so that means it would be hard to get a third title fight,” Cormier said on his YouTube channel. “He has lost to Dricus. This might honestly be the best position for him, especially when it comes to Dricus. He has only lost to Dricus once. Dricus is the champion.

“If Izzy gets hurt, Robert Whittaker is there as a backup then he would get that second fight against Dricus Du Plessis much sooner than he would’ve expected to get that next fight against Dricus Du Plessis. I think it’s a win-win for Rob and after tonight’s performance, I believe that it should happen.”

UFC CEO Dana White also likes the idea of Whittaker as a backup as he heaped praise on the former champion for his willingness to take on a dangerous Aliskerov (15-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) on short notice.
Jiri Prochazka didn’t expect light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira to accept defending his title on such short notice at UFC 303.

Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) will run things back with Prochazka (30-4-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 303 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Both fighters had just two weeks to prepare for their title-fight rematch after the original main event between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler was scrapped. Prochazka and Pereira were expected to fight possibly Aug. 17 at UFC 305 in Perth, so Prochazka isn’t sure why Pereira accepted to fight him two months earlier.
I was a little bit surprised by that, I can say yes,” Prochazka said on “The MMA Hour.” “Because I don’t know what was the reason he said yes, if it’s money or something else, but communication with me from the UFC, they gave me some better – I don’t want to be concrete, but we negotiated about better money

“So I don’t know how it was with Alex. But I didn’t know about the money or whatever when I accepted (the fight), so for me this is not so important because the main point is to get the title and to bring it back to the Czech Republic.”

Despite the short-notice nature of the fight, Prochazka relishes the opportunity.

“I believe in that,” Prochazka said. “I was born like a warrior – not I believe in that. I am the warrior, and this is just about when the situation and the things around you come like that, you have to say just yes. To react to what happened because when something happens on the street, you need to react right now. Right here, right now. That’s what I like about short notice because you need to react right now, right here. Show me your best right now. That’s all.”

Prochazka was knocked out by Pereira in their vacant light heavyweight title fight at UFC 295 – a stoppage he initially debated. He rebounded with a knockout of Aleksandar Rakic at UFC 300 and is confident he will avenge his loss to “Poatan.”

“I will win the fight,” Prochazka said. “I will win the fight, and I believe in that, and I will do that. That’s all. I will not step into a fight where I don’t believe in that, in myself. I already accept that I will do everything, and right now is the great chance to show that.

God chose me' - Lionel Messi admits his footballing superpowers are a 'gift' as Argentina superstar 'did nothing to become the player I already was when I was little.

The World Cup winner could never have dreamt of scaling such heights when kicking a ball for the first time in his native Rosario. Even when leaving his homeland for Barcelona at the age of 13, a standing among the all-time greats will have felt out of reach.
Messi has, however, become an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner and the most decorated player in history – with 44 trophies to his name – and has told Juan Pablo Varsky of reaching the very top of his chosen profession: “It's very clear to me that I was born like this because God chose me. It was a gift he gave me. I tried to take advantage of it, I did everything possible to squeeze the most out of it. The truth is, although I did many things, I did nothing to become the player that I already was when I was little.Messi’s potential was spotted early, in the youth system of Newell’s Old Boys, and he added on realising that he was different from many other starry-eyed hopefuls: “From what was being said, I was always different. People came to watch me. I didn't realise it, but I began to understand that as I grew older. I don't really know the moment when I realised it. When I was 3 or 4 years old, I was not aware of the World Cup and all the titles that were being played. I simply played because I loved the ball... it was my hobby. I spent all the time kicking [the ball] and looking for someone to play with. I was born with it. I loved soccer, like most Argentines, from a very young age. I always tried to have fun, like I did from day one.

Anthony Joshua is expected to fight Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight belt after Oleksandr Usyk confirmed he was vacating the world title.

Usyk defeated Tyson Fury on points to become undisputed champion with the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF titles, but has now announced he will relinquish his IBF belt ahead of a planned fight between Joshua and Dubois at Wembley Stadium on .
Hey Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois, the IBF Belt is my present for you for 21.09.2024. The world loves strong. Your friend, Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World, Oleksandr Usyk," he posted.

Dubois, who Usyk defeated last year, holds an IBF Interim belt and would have been the mandatory challenger for Usyk, who is contracted to rematch Fury, a bout which has been set for December of this year.
Joshua, formerly a unified world champion himself, has previously lost twice to Usyk.

He returned with a points win over Jermaine Franklin in 2023, but then followed up with two stoppage victories over Robert Helenius and Otto Wallin.

He has boxed once this year already, taking out Francis Ngannou in just two rounds. Ngannou, a former UFC champion in MMA, was an inexperienced boxer, but he had managed to go the 10-round distance with Tyson Fury in his first professional boxing bout.

Dubois has also rebuilt successfully from a loss to Usyk.
The 26-year-old challenged Usyk for the WBO, WBA and IBF titles at the Wroclaw Stadium in Poland last August. Dubois put in a game effort, pressing the Ukrainian initially. Usyk had to rise from a low blow, a ruling which Dubois and his team still dispute, to halt Dubois in the ninth round.

The Briton though went on to grind down Jarrell Miller in December and at the start of this month pounded Filip Hrgovic to a halt to win the IBF Interim strap.

"[Being world champion] is a dream. From challenging for the world title to getting the chance to win [it] outright, that's what I want," Dubois declared after that fight.

"I'll demolish Joshua. I'll get even better from here.

In their second Copa America 2024 match, Chile take on Argentina at MetLife Stadium on June 25 in what could be a pivotal match for the Group A standings.

Argentina and Chile always seem to have memorable matches at the Copa America. In the last four tournaments alone, the two sides have met five times, including the back-to-back finals in 2015 and 2016 that La Roja won. Ever since, though, Chile has struggled to find success against Argentina, and now, La Albiceleste is arguably at their very best.

The Group A clash comes less than a week after Argentina defeated Canada 2-0 and Chile were held to a scoreless draw against Peru. If Argentina walk away with all three points, they can all-but book their spot in the quarter-finals.

Here's 90min's guide to Chile vs Argentina tomorrow

After withdrawing from UFC 303, Conor McGregor is facing backlash from fans and fighters alike, with one champion branding the legend ‘mentally broken’.

The Irishman was scheduled to return on June 29 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. However, he pulled out from the bout after sustaining an injury during training camp.

While Conor McGregor hasn’t competed in almost three years, he remains the biggest star in the UFC. Renowned for his remarkable skills on the mic and ferocious left hand, ‘The Notorious’ generates hype like no other.

Despite losing his last two contests to Dustin Poirier, enthusiasm for his return to the cage is still rife, with many of his fans still believing he has what it takes to make it back to the pinnacle of the sport.
Therefore, when the UFC announced a clash between McGregor and Michael Chandler, the MMA community was pumped. The pair had marinated the contest nicely with a season together coaching The Ultimate Fighter, and just needed to get in the cage with one another to top off the dish.Alas, the contest fans were so excited for has fallen through. After breaking his toe, the former two-time UFC champion has made the difficult decision to pull out of the contest.
Of course, this has prompted a huge reaction from MMA purists. On the one hand, McGregor has posted pictures of the injury, proving its validity, and with such swelling, it would be difficult to compete to his optimum ability.Of course, this has prompted a huge reaction from MMA purists. On the one hand, McGregor has posted pictures of the injury, proving its validity, and with such swelling, it would be difficult to compete to his optimum ability.But on the other, he once criticized Rafael Dos Anjos for withdrawing from a fight with him for the same reason. The whole ordeal has resulted in some, including the man who now reigns over his old division, Ilia Topuria, questioning whether the fighter still has the mental fortitude to compete at the highest level.

He tweeted: “You are mentally broken. That is your biggest lesson. You doubt yourself, your abilities, your preparation, that’s why you don’t show up. You are a b**ch.”

While potentially damning words, in all reality, the situation may be completely out of the MMA icon’s hands. Regardless, the world is joined in unison, wondering if McGregor will ever compete again. And one man may have the answer.
While the fight is off for now, that doesn’t mean Dana White isn’t interested in doing his utmost to reschedule the bout.

With McGregor still a massive player in the MMA scene, according to one of his teammates, the promotion already has a date in mind to give the Irish superstar a huge stage to make his comeback.Peter Queally told talkSPORT MMA: “It seems like they will endeavor to make that fight in September time. Something like that, maybe. That’s what I’m hearing. That’s what you can look forward to if they can make it happen.

Currently, the only scheduled PPV event for that month is UFC 306 on September 12 at the Las Vegas Sphere.

The remarkable venue that has garnered a huge reputation for its aesthetically stunning concerts is set to play host to a massive show two days before Mexican Independence Day.

Nigerian superstar singer, David Adeleke a.k.a Davido may have been born in Atlanta, United States of America and seen almost every city of the world, but the Omo Baba Olowo (OBO) has a thing for the city of aquatic splendour.

He made this known in the interview with Apple Music leading up to the release of his “Timeless” album last year.

Although he admits that New York and some other cities have the vibes of their own, he places Lagos as being up there with any city, in terms of energy and vibes.

“Yeah, Lagos is like New York. Okay. I’ll say there are cities that I’ve been to and I can say New York is cool. I haven’t been to Tokyo, but somewhere like Tokyo. London, definitely Kingston. Kingston. Lagos is very, very fast-paced. The horns. The market. And everything is in Lagos. You have the parts in Lagos where it looks like Miami. You got the parts in Lagos where it looks like … You know what I’m saying? So everything is Lagos. That city is a whole country in one, kind of. And I’ll say this every time, if you can survive in Lagos, you can survive anywhere in the world,” he says.

“The vibe in Lagos, musically for me, that’s where I go back. And it is also called tapping in with the streets. We travel so much. We are touring. You know what I’m saying? We never really get time to be at home. So every time I get home, I’m so excited. I’m like, “Yeah!”,” he adds

Davido also reveals his favourite place where he can listen to music away from being a “superstar” with some form of comfort and serenity. And Lagos also pops up in his diary.

“So funny. I concentrate the most on a plane. I don’t join no wifi. I put my headphones in and I just go through records and I just really listen. That’s when I’m really tapped out. That’s one place I really focus.

“Yeah, I like that. But I definitely love when it comes to recording and curating records, I love being at home in Lagos. Even if I record in a studio out here or in Atlanta, or wherever the idea is from, I always bring it to Lagos,” he states.

Davido may soon be in court as he has just sued his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu for co-custody of his daughter, Imade Adeleke.

The victor tested positive for banned PED ostarine in three separate drugs tests taken around the fight.

On Thursday, he agreed a settlement with the New York Commission over the situation.

Garcia has received a one-year ban from boxing as a result of this, with the Haney fight being overturned from a win to a no-contest.Haney's undefeated 31-0 record has officially been restored, however he is not completely happy with the outcome.Earlier this week, the WBC held a purse bids auction for Haney's potential next fight - an ordered mandatory defence against Sandor Martin.

Bob Arum's Top Rank were the only bidders and won with a bid of just $2.42million, meaning Haney will get $1.53million if he moves forward with this bout next.

That is a significant reduction from what he earned not only in the Garcia fight, but in several of his fights before it took place.
As a result, Haney is now arguing that his commercial value and potential future earnings have taken a dramatic hit as a direct result of Garcia's controversial overturned victory in their fight.
My lawyers will do what they've gotta do to prove that in court against Ryan," Haney told Title Sports Network.

"We will take legal action because it has affected me - not only financially, but mentally and everything.Haney also alleges that he has suffered mentally from the fallout.

Upon seeing these quotes, Garcia took to social media to attack Haney once again.

He tweeted on Friday night: "There is no damn way, no I’m being sued for hurting Devil Haney feelings. Softest man ever created this crazy don’t know Bill Haney's s***m was like this.

However, several sanctioning bodies and boxing authorities chose not to utilise it.

Ahead of Usyk and Fury's inaugural encounter on May 18, the WBC demanded video replay be implemented.

After much deliberation, they were eventually permitted to review it during and after the contest although the other three major sanctioning bodies (IBF, WBA and WBO) chose not to use it

If a decision had been overturned using video replay by the WBC then the IBF, WBA and WBO are unlikely to have accepted the ruling, which would have led to a messy situation.To avoid this from happening in their rematch on December 21, Sulaiman and the WBC are pushing for all of the organisations involved in the fight to recognise video replay.Video replay is a rule that the WBC has had for the last few years but it is a complicated situation with the British Boxing Board of Control as they do not accept its use," Sulaiman told talkSPORT.com.

"However, during the rules meetings of the last fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, we demanded that the video replay be used for the WBC's sake.

We will be pushing for it in the Usyk-Fury rematch and every fight we are involved in."The Middle East Professional Boxing Commission was the local authority and the British Boxing Board of Control had a lot of influence over them so they were claiming not to have it.

"But in the end, the WBC made it clear that if there was absolute evidence of a major controversy then we would reserve the right to make our own decision using the big screen and correct the ruling.
For the WBC it was in place but not for the others. We want it to be recognised by everyone involved with proper protocol and a proper system."

This isn't the only change that the WBC wants to make for the Fury vs Usyk rematch.

They are also keen on there being six judges rather than the usual three when the heavyweight titans run it back in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Sulaiman insists this will lessen the possibility of a controversial decision and campaigned for the adjustment before Fury and Usyk's first fight to no avail.

Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo featured for the Netherlands in a 0-0 draw versus France at Euro 2024 on Friday night.

The Liverpool duo completed 90 minutes in Leipzig – with Van Dijk captaining his nation - as the points were shared in the Group D contest.

Ibrahima Konate was also involved as an unused substitute for France, while Ryan Gravenberch was named on the bench for the Netherlands.

In a competitive contest that saw a range of chances for both teams, it was the Netherlands who came closest to securing all three points.

Ronald Koeman’s outfit struck in minute 69 via Xavi Simons, though the attacker saw his low drive past goalkeeper Mike Maignan ruled out after VAR consultation for an offside.

Netherlands and France will both return to action on Tuesday evening for a final group fixture in their bid to reach the knockout phase, taking on Austria and Poland respectively

The Three Lions took the lead in Frankfurt after 18 minutes through Harry Kane but were pegged back by Morten Hjulmand's long-range strike.

Arne Slot is full of anticipation for his first experience of Anfield as Liverpool’s head coach – not least because he knows what to expect.

The Dutchman, an Eredivisie and KNVB Cup winner during his time with former club Feyenoord, is now at the helm of the Reds after replacing Jürgen Klopp this summer.

Slot cannot wait to lead his new team out at his new home stadium, which he has actually visited once before as a guest of former assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders.

Having also stopped in at Melwood during that previous trip to Merseyside, Slot watched on when Klopp’s men beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at Anfield in a Premier League clash in February 2017

“I visited the club once because I knew Pepijn, so I know how it feels when you are in the stadium,” he told Liverpoolfc.com during his first official interview as head coach.

“But to be there as the manager will probably be a bit more different than being there as a fan. It’s going to be really special I suppose.

“I’m used to Feyenoord, which is a fanbase that is really enthusiastic as well and is known for the atmosphere.

“I’m hoping and expecting that this goes one level up, not only in terms of the quality of the players but also in the way the fans will back the team. Like I said, I’m looking forward to it.

In the opinion of quite a few people who know their boxing, former WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury has to avenge his loss to Oleksandr Usyk if he is to go down as a true heavyweight great.
The rematch, set as we know for exactly six months tomorrow, December 21, really is a must-win fight for Fury, for his ego, for his ranking in the history books, for Fury’s ability to fully hold his head up as high as he did before that May 18 night in Saudi Arabia. Fury is said to be back in the gym, yet we are still so far away from the fight that anything could happen between now and December. Some people – Johnny Nelson for one – are unsure the rematch will happen, that Fury, so hurt, so pained inside due to the loss, that brutal ninth round, in particular, serving to haunt him, will not go through with it. That’s mere opinion, of course. As is what Eddie Hearn said today on the subject of Fury’s overall greatness should he never defeat Usyk. Speaking with Seconds Out, Hearn had the following to say about Fury and where and how he will be remembered sans a victory over the exceptional Ukrainian southpaw.
If he doesn’t beat Usyk, he will not go down as a generational great,” Hearn said of Fury. “He’ll go down as a great heavyweight, who was amazing for the sport – British world heavyweight champion, great personality, but not a true great in my opinion. Because he

just hasn’t beaten the opposition. He beat Deontay Wilder. Where’s the other elite guys that he beat? And that’s why they need each other…..AJ needs Fury, AJ needs to beat Usyk. Usyk’s done it now, Usyk’s a generational great – undisputed cruiserweight champion, undisputed

cruiserweight champion, undisputed heavyweight champion, he beat AJ twice, I mean, if he beats [Fury] again, he’s home and dry, unless AJ can come back and get him. I feel AJ’s resume is fantastic, but he still needs a victory over Usyk or Fury to becocome I’m talking a generational great, I’m talking, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman. And he’ll want that, and Fury will be right up for this [rematch with Usyk]. I’ve heard Johnny Nelson saying, ‘I don’t think the fight will happen.’ F*****g hell! It’s mad. Looking
Interesting stuff from Hearn, and not too much you can disagree with. Fury does need a win over Usyk even to have a chance of going down with the greats like Ali and Foreman. AJ still needs a massive win over a Fury or a Usyk to do the same. And Usyk is pretty much “home and dry” going into boxing history as the greatest fighter of his era at two weights.
