UFC 317: Topuria vs. Oliveira predictions
We’ll reveal one of Vithlani’s UFC 317: Topuria vs. Oliveira selections here: Hyder Amil (+150) to defeat Jose Delgado (-180) in a featherweight matchup on the preliminary card.
“Amil is a fighter I will be automatically betting until he loses, especially at plus-money odds,” Vithlani told SportsLine. “His relentless style, granite chin and diverse MMA game make him a difficult matchup for any opponent. Amil constantly mixes up his pressure kickboxing and grappling attack and can weaponize his cardio to break his opponents. However, Delgado is the favorite for a reason. Delgado is a slick striker training out of MMA Lab gym, home to former bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley. He has explosive pop in his shots and moves swiftly on his feet.” See who else to back here.

Hráč z osmé stovky ATP se probojoval na Wimbledon. Na balík za start ale musí zapomenout
„Mám v sobě hodně emocí, ale tou hlavní je radost. Zahrát si Wimbledon byl můj sen už od dětství,“ řekl jednadvacetiletý mladík pro BBC.Plná částka za postup do hlavního pavouka činí 66 tisíc liber, což jsou necelé dva miliony korun. Na to ale může Tarvet zapomenout. Jelikož má stále status studenta na univerzitě v USA, nemůže si na odměnách v profesionálním tenisu vydělat více než 10 tisíc dolarů ročně, což je lehce přes 200 tisíc korun.To je částka, která má pokrýt výdaje pro start na turnajích. „Je to trochu trapné, protože musím někde jinde získat hodně peněz, chci se vrátit na univerzitu a dokončit tam čtvrtý ročník,“ svěřil se Brit a s úsměvem dodal: „Deset tisíc? Asi poletíme s trenérem domů tryskáčem.“V podobné situaci se loni ocitla Australanka Maya Jointová na US Open. Tam jako studentka University of Texas, a tedy amatérka, postoupila do druhého kola a měla si přijít na […]

Norris tops Piastri as McLaren dominate Austrian GP practice
Lando Norris topped team-mate Oscar Piastri as McLaren sealed a dominant one-two in second practice at the Austrian Grand Prix. Despite having sat out the opening session earlier on Friday as McLaren fulfilled one of their obligated rookie sessions by running Irish teenager Alex Dunne, Norris was swiftly onto the pace at the Red Bull Ring, setting a time of 1:04.580 to better Piastri by 0.157s. The display represented an impressive return to action for Norris after he caused a collision with world championship leader Piastri last time out in Canada that caused him to retire from the race, and saw his deficit to his team-mate grow to 22 points.McLaren, who brought an upgraded front suspension to Spielberg, appear to have an advantage over the rest of the field, with Max Verstappen three tenths back in third despite Red Bull […]
