Patrice Evra and Luis Suárez are embroiled in a rivalry that dates back to their Premier League days, when the Frenchman played for Manchester United and the Uruguayan was a star player for Liverpool.
The feud between them began 14 years ago in 2011, during a match between Liverpool and Manchester United, when a heated controversy erupted after Patrice Evra accused Luis Suárez of hurling racial slurs at him. The incident received widespread media coverage and was investigated by the FA, which concluded that Suárez had acted inappropriately.

As a result, the striker was banned for eight matches and fined. Evra, for his part, stood by his accusation, saying that Suárez‘s behavior had been unacceptable.
That was not the end of the story between the two players. Their paths crossed again later in the season, during the post-match protocol, when Luis Suárez refused to shake Evra‘s hand, causing a minor commotion that was quickly resolved by teammates and referees.
They would meet again, this time with Evra playing for a different team, but there were no further unsportsmanlike incidents between the players. However, the situation between them remains tense and when asked about each other, neither holds back.
Evra wants to fight Luis Suárez
Since retiring from football, Patrice Evra has found a new passion: mixed martial arts, better known as MMA.
After extensive training, the 43-year-old Frenchman is ready to start a new chapter. His first appearance will be on May 23rd at a PFL event in Paris. Despite the excitement, his opponent has yet to be confirmed and the search is on for someone willing to take on the challenge.
True to form, the former United player already has someone in mind for his MMA debut.
“I am officially training for my first fight with PFL Europe. They will pick my opponent… They asked me who I wanted to fight. I said: Luis Suárez. I’ll pay out of my own pocket. He can even bite me,” the former player wrote on his X account.

Fantasy football 2025 NFL Draft player grades: Every pick from Cam Ward to Brashard Smith and more
The 2025 NFL Draft might be done, but the excitement is still bubbling over. It’s time for NFL draft grades for fantasy football. If you haven’t seen this piece from past years, each player gets two grades. The first draft grade is redraft-only value (2025). The second is the player’s dynasty grade/potential.AdvertisementThe draft grades are weighted in tiers of sorts. A’s are your stars — players who can or will become a No. 1 at their position (RB1, TE1, etc.). For B’s, we’re talking about second and some third-tier starters in all leagues. When we get to C’s, those are fringe starters, maybe some boom/bust plays, etc. D’s are waiver wire players with maybe some Best Ball or the rare bye week/matchup play potential. Any player graded lower is a non-factor in fantasy.For those wanting to go deeper, you can […]

2025 NFL Draft winners and losers: Shedeur Sanders falls into both categories, Tom Brady makes the list
Getty Images After 257 picks, the 2025 NFL Draft is officially in the books. The draft started on Thursday with the Browns doing something crazy, and it ended on Saturday with the Browns also doing something crazy, so in a way, the draft truly came full circle. The first round started with a blockbuster trade between Cleveland and Jacksonville that saw the Jaguars move up from the fifth pick to the second overall spot so they could take Travis Hunter. Although Hunter went second overall, one player who had to wait longer than expected to get drafted was Hunter's college teammate at Colorado, Shedeur Sanders. Not only did he fall out of the first round, but he ended up falling all the way to the fifth round before the Browns took him with the 144th overall pick. For this draft, Sanders was both […]
