Brandon Moreno and Steve Erceg want to prove they are still viable flyweight title challengers. The flyweights headline UFC Fight Night in Mexico City on Saturday.
Erceg takes inspiration from Sean Brady, who entered enemy territory last week and stopped Leon Edwards in front of his fellow Englishman. Erceg aims to do the same against Moreno, who has never won a UFC fight in his home nation of Mexico. Former two-time champion Moreno could get another crack at the title by stringing together consecutive wins. Erceg is coming off consecutive losses for the first time and is desperate to stave off a losing streak.
The mixed martial arts promotion returns to pay-per-view on April 12. Alexander Volkanovski won’t get to avenge his knockout loss to Ilia Topuria, but he can recapture the UFC featherweight championship. Volkanovski and Diego Lopes will fight for the vacant featherweight title after Topuria shockingly abandoned the belt to fight at lightweight. Michael Chandler vs. Paddy Pimblett, Yair Rodriguez vs. Patricio Pitbull and Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva are among the most anticipated fights at UFC 314.

HOUSTON — Lance McCullers Jr.’s two-year journey back to a major-league mound is nearing its completion.The 31-year-old is scheduled to start for the Houston Astros on Sunday afternoon against the Chicago White Sox, ending McCullers’ 915-day absence from the team’s rotation.McCullers missed the entire 2023 season after undergoing surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his right elbow. A slew of setbacks in his recovery also sidelined McCullers for the entire 2024 season.Advertisement“I am really looking forward to having him on the mound,” Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday. “He’s worked his tail off to get back to this point. This whole entire team and the city should be excited about getting Lance back.”McCullers has thrown 210 innings since signing a five-year, $85 million contract extension prior to the 2021 season. He boasts a 2.96 ERA and a 142 ERA+ […]
Why the Maple Leafs should explore major lineup changes in Game 6, but probably won’t
What do you do now if you’re Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube?Stay the course and try to maintain some calm? Or, after two straight losses in elimination games, shake up the lineup for Game 6 in Ottawa?Throughout his first season with the Leafs, Berube was more apt to stay the course with certain pockets of his lineup. He was much less prone to experimentation than his predecessor, Sheldon Keefe (which stings at a time like this), and seems inclined to roll, again, with a similar look. Craig Berube says he’ll look at #leafs lineup changes for Game 6, but it doesn’t sound like a big shakeup is coming: “I don’t want to change too much. I think there’s been a lot of good.” — Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) April 30, 2025The time might be right to get shaking, though, […]
Frydrych vyfasoval za faul na Klimenta tvrdý trest
Byl to nešťastný moment. Ovšem Frydrych šel do souboje s Klimentem s rizikem, že se může něco stát. A bohužel stalo. Útočník Sigmy, jenž prožívá báječnou sezonu, utrpěl zlomeninu lýtkové kosti. Frydrych byl v utkání vyloučen, nemohl už hrát ani první kolo nadstavby proti Jablonci.Disciplinární komise vynesla verdikt ve středu vpodvečer. Byl nekompromisní: stop na deset soutěžních zápasů. „Každý hráč je během utkání plně zodpovědný za své chování i za případné následky, které jeho jednání může mít. V případě obránce Michala Frydrycha šlo bohužel o situaci, která vyústila ve vážné zranění protihráče v podobě zlomení nohy Jana Klimenta, jenž musel podstoupit operační zákrok,“ vysvětlil předseda disciplinárky Jiří Matzner.„Disciplinární komise nemá důvod nevěřit slovům kapitána Baníku, že zákrok nebyl veden se záměrem protihráče zranit. Je však nutné zdůraznit, že tomuto nešťastnému momentu předcházelo jednání, které podle vyjádření Komise rozhodčích FAČR jednoznačně naplnilo podstatu surové hry a tím pádem bylo udělení […]
Ravens pick up option of Kyle Hamilton, decline Tyler Linderbaum
East Rutherford, NJ -- December 15, 2024 -- Kyle Hamilton of the Ravens and Tyrone Tracy Jr. of the Giants in the first half. The Baltimore Ravens came to MetLife Stadium to play the New York Giants. The Baltimore Ravens picked up the fifth-year option on All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton while declining the same commitment to offensive lineman Tyler Linderbaum on Wednesday. General manager Eric DeCosta said he intends for the 2022 first-round picks to continue to wear a Ravens uniform for years to come. "We are exercising the fifth-year option for Kyle Hamilton with the goal of working toward a multi-year contract extension," DeCosta said in a team statement. "While we will not apply the fifth-year option to Tyler Linderbaum, it is our intention for him remain a Raven long term." Hamilton, 24, was the No. 14 overall pick […]
Mystics rookie Georgia Amoore suffers ACL injury during training camp
Washington Mystics training camp is off to an inauspicious start, as the team announced Wednesday that rookie Georgia Amoore suffered an ACL injury during Tuesday’s practice.Amoore was the sixth pick in this month’s WNBA Draft, coming off a college career when she was one of three players in Division I history to post at least 2,300 points and 800 assists (joining Sabrina Ionescu and Caitlin Clark). As the Mystics enter an era of rebuilding through the draft, Amoore was poised to be the point guard of the future. The present roster only includes combo guards like Brittney Sykes or young point guards with even less experience than the 24-year-old Amoore.AdvertisementAmoore missed only one game during her college career, spanning four seasons at Virginia Tech and one with Kentucky. She also participated in Kelsey Plum’s annual Dawg Class following the draft.Washington […]
Top MLB Players Underperforming Early in the 2025 Season
