It was a night full of impressive finishes, but nothing could have prepared fans for the exclamation mark Kaik Brito was going to put on the night.
After Trent Miller submitted Douglas Rodrigues in the co-main event with a Von Flue choke, Brito put a stamp on the event with a spectacular knockout just 12 seconds into the third round.

The second week of 2026's edition of Contender Series delivered a ton of action, capped off by a savage knockout of a fan favorite.
On Tuesday night, Week 2 of Season 10 of Contender Series took place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, featuring three knockouts — including one of the most brutal knockouts in Contender Series history — one submission, the best fight of the season so far, and six UFC contracts handed out.
Kaik Brito def. Namo Fazil
In the main event, Namo Fazil took on Kaik Brito in a high-profile welterweight contest. Fazil is an extremely popular fighter who most recently competed on the undercard of the MVP MMA: Rousey vs. Carano fight card, but he didn't get an easy out in Brito, who put on a show right from the start.
Brito was the much more dynamic and dangerous fighter early in the bout, but Fazil's pressure and durability proved problematic for Brito as the fight wore on. Heading into the final round, it looked like Fazil was on the verge of breaking Brito, but just a few seconds into the round, Brito launched a combination out of nowhere, with the final punch landing clean and sending Fazil crashing to the canvas brutally.

Racing Bulls Formula 1 rookie Arvid Lindblad has shed light on his partnership with team-mate Liam Lawson.
The 19-year-old Briton has impressed during the first half of his debut campaign. After picking up four points at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix with an eighth-place finish, he missed out on points at the ****** anese, Miami and Canadian Grands Prix. But he has since had a string of six points-paying grand prix finishes.
This consistency, combined with Lawson's own point-scoring form, allowed Racing Bulls to overtake Alpine in the constructors' standings ahead of the summer break.
"Honestly, I'd say we have a good relationship," Lindblad told F1.com of his relationship with Lawson. "I think together we've done a really good job to have a good dynamic in general, really being able to switch between the on and off track.
"On track, we both want to beat the other, and that's the nature of sport, but when we are out of the car, we have a genuine, nice relationship, and there's a nice dynamic within the team. That's made it enjoyable.

Louis Foster chances for his first IndyCar Series win came to an abrupt end near the halfway point of the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham.
After starting on pole, the 23-year-old Briton was out front and in control of the 90-lap race. An untimely caution during the pit cycle caught Foster before he had stopped, while several rivals had already pitted, dropping him down the order after he came in from the lead on lap 33.
Two further cautions over the next seven laps set up a charge from Foster on the lap-40 restart. He propelled by the likes of reigning and four-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou, Will Power, and Graham Rahal, among others, to move from eighth to fourth.
Summing up his run at the front of the field for IndyCar's first race in Markham, Foster spoke to the fine margins at this track and reiterated Mick Schumacher's concern about the concrete walls themselves.
"I'll survive," Foster said. "I'll be all right. Yeah, just frustrating.It was so fast. But yeah, I went for a move on Marcus and thought I left enough room to the wall. I mean, I got halfway around it almost, but because we don't have these radius walls here, we just catch the edges.

Amy Hunt hailed her British quartet of "superwomen" after they successfully defended their European 4x100m relay **** le to keep Hunt on course for an historic quadruple in Birmingham on a night of back-to-back triumphs for the hosts.
Dina Asher-Smith moved joint-top of the all-time European Athletics Championships medal table with 10, the same as Polish sprinter Irena Szewinska – though the Briton has two more golds with seven and a chance, alongside Hunt, to add another from Sunday's inaugural European mixed 4x100m relay.
Asher-Smith, Hunt, Success Eduan and Imani-Lara Lansiquot blitzed to the finish in 42.05 seconds ahead of Switzerland, who took silver in 43.12s, and bronze went to Poland in 43.15 seconds.
Hunt, who sealed a European sprint double earlier in the week, when asked about the possibility of becoming the first British athlete to win four golds in a single European Championships, said: "Hopefully! We'll have to chat to the coaches about tomorrow, but I'm so, so happy for tonight.
"It was incredible to come together with these so inspiring ladies. Everyone had so much going on. We got a midwifery degree, psychology degree, history degree, and this girl (Lansiquot) wrote a play.

Keely Hodgkinson has been here before - and it eventually culminated in her crowning moment.
Just two athletes stood between the Briton and total domination in the early years of her career.
But, after taking silver at three consecutive global championships amid captivating battles with American Athing Mu and Kenya's Mary Moraa, Hodgkinson finally took the top step of a podium at the Paris Olympics.
Now, her European reign has been ended by talented Swiss 22-year-old Audrey Werro, and a fresh wave of world-class rivals appear set to define the next chapter of Hodgkinson's story.
Friday's gripping final in Birmingham offered a first taste of what fans will hope are many ****** anic battles with Werro and Dutch star Femke Broeders-Bol, with next season's World Championships in Beijing preceding the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Keely Hodgkinson was forced to settle for European silver as Switzerland's Audrey Werro denied the Briton a third consecutive ***** le in a thrilling women's 800m final in Birmingham.
The most eagerly anticipated event of the championships culminated in the expected three-way battle for supremacy between Hodgkinson, Swiss 22-year-old Werro and Dutch star Femke Broeders-Bol in front of a captivated sellout crowd of 23,000 inside Alexander Stadium.
Seeking to reassert her dominance in the event, Olympic champion Hodgkinson was roared on in pursuit of Werro by her home support but was unable to overhaul her new rival in the closing stages.
Having this season become the fastest athlete since the world record was set 43 years ago, Werro finished strong to land her first senior international ***** le in a championship record one minute 54.81 seconds to her rival's 1:55.01.
"Mixed emotions," Hodgkinson told the BBC.

Double-defending champion Hodgkinson was just behind as they rounded the final bend, but Werro maintained her advantage to cross the finish in a championship record of one minute, 54.81 seconds.
Hodgkinson claimed silver in 1min 55.01secs and the Netherlands' Femke Broeders-Bol took bronze in a national record 1:55.54.

Keely Hodgkinson and expected gold medal rivals Audrey Werro and Femke Broeders-Bol remain on course for their highly anticipated showdown after safely reaching Thursday's women's 800m semi-finals at the European Athletics Championships.
Olympic champion Hodgkinson, winner of the past two European **** les, controlled her heat throughout to win in one minute 57.28 seconds - the fastest time across the four heats on Tuesday morning.
Swiss athlete Werro, who stunned Hodgkinson by running the fastest time for 43 years to beat the Briton earlier this season, appeared equally comfortable as she won her race in 1:57.83.
There were no issues either for Femke Broeders-Bol. The fast-improving Dutch two-time world 400m hurdles champion, who chose to switch events this season, crossed the line first in 1:59.96.
Hodgkinson's post-race interview with BBC Sport was briefly interrupted by Italy's Eloisa Coiro, who said the 24-year-old was "an inspiration on and off the track".

Mercedes Formula 1 driver George Russell has announced his engagement to his long-term partner Carmen Montero Mundt.
Revealing the news in a sweet social media post, with a simple caption of a ring and a white heart, Russell shared photos from the occasion. Judging from the photos, the Briton popped the question at an intimate, candlelit dinner on a beach.
Russell and Montero Mundt began dating in early 2020 after being introduced by a mutual friend. Since then, Montero Mundt has become a regular presence in the F1 paddock, frequently attending race weekends alongside Russell.
Montero Mundt works in the financial sector and recently unveiled a skincare brand, Barriers. Originally from Spain, she relocated to the United Kingdom at the age of 18 to pursue higher education, earning a degree in business management and finance from the University of Westminster.
Russell has previously credited Montero Mundt with providing him with stability and the ability to disconnect from racing. "Carmen brings me stability when it comes to racing and also a way to disconnect," he told The Times in June 2026, hinting at the engagement.

Former Formula 1 driver Gerhard Berger is not ready to back Kimi Antonelli over George Russell in the ******* le fight, pointing to last season as proof that the championship can quickly swing after Oscar Piastri appeared to be the clear favourite midway through the year.
After 11 races, Russell trails his teammate by 59 points in the Drivers' Championship. While both Mercedes drivers have suffered technical issues throughout the season, the Briton has been hit harder by reliability problems, although the young Italian has also consistently demonstrated superior raw pace and delivered stronger results on a more regular basis.
Speaking to F1.com, Berger said life at a top Formula 1 team always involves facing exceptionally fast teammates, arguing that Russell has simply found himself up against a particularly talented rookie. He described Antonelli as a special talent, but also pointed out that Russell has responded by pushing himself to the limit.
"This is F1. If you are in a top team in F1, you always have to deal with somebody coming in quick. I'm sure Lewis Hamilton also wishes sometimes for somebody other than Charles Leclerc, from a speed point! George had a wake-up call from Antonelli – Antonelli seems to be quite special, no question. George, I can see he's pushing very much, I can see he puts it very much to the limit."

DarrenTill has labeled Ian Garry"fake" ahead of the Irishman's first ****** le bout in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Garry has emerged as a polarizing figure in recent years for avariety of reasons, including frequently switching gyms andallegations about his marriage. The former Cage Warriors champ's recent claim that women are better suitedto run the world is the latest remark that has drawn reactions fromprominent fighters, including Till and Garry's next opponent,IslamMakhachev.
Garry's comments came during a recent podcast appearance in whichhe claimed that if men listened to women and let them take over theworld, it would be a better place.

"If the world was run by women, we'd all live in a better world,"Garry said on the "High Performance" podcast. "If we just listenedto them and let them take over, it would be an easier world."

While Till, who has four daughters, acknowledges women's power, heclaims Garry is just trying to "buy love."

"I'm not a hateful guy. I don't hate Ian Garry," Till told The MacLife. "But I just think every time that guy speaks, he justabsolutely tarnishes his brand, his image, by what he's talkingabout. Look, I'm a guy for the power of the women. I have fourgirls and my missus and stuff like that. Powerful women, of course,we love that, but it's just the things he says. And it's alwayslike he's trying to buy love. If he was a bit more like me, mate,people would love him, because he's obviously a great fighter."

The Briton sees Garry's public persona as inauthentic and believesthat fans can see right through it.

"The one thing as well, people can see and know a fake guy," Tilladded. "And he's got fake written all over him. For me he has,anyway."

Garry will face Makhachev for the welterweight ****** le at UFC330 on Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Thereigning welterweight champion has also weighed in on Garry'srecent comments, questioning whether the challenger's wife hasinfluenced his opinions.

"He looks very bad in this interview. Better he does training moreand less interview," Makhachev told MMA Junkie. "It looks likesomebody in the house controls him and tells him what to say in theinterview."

A tearful Jack Draper was knocked out of the Canadian Open amid "upsetting" scenes as the Briton's chronic arm injury appeared to resurface during his three-set defeat to Terence Atmane.
Draper, who was playing in his first tournament since withdrawing from Wimbledon, appeared to be sobbing uncontrollably during the changeover while trailing 4-1 in the third set.
If Draper was indeed struggling with injury, the 24-year-old continued to play on, but could not prevent a 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 defeat by Atmane in what was just his sixth tournament of the season.
Draper has been plagued by bone bruising in his left arm for well over a year, with the complicated injury stopping his career in its tracks after he reached No 4 in the world last season.
The former Indian Wells champion has been open with the mental toll his injuries have taken. He was forced to pull out of Wimbledon on the eve of the tournament, before also withdrawing from the Washington Open last week.

#wimbledon #year

Jack Draper was in tears during his comeback match at the Canadian Open en route to losing to Terence Atmane.
The Briton was playing his first match since pulling out of Wimbledon with a recurrence of a bruised bone in his left arm but was beaten 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 in Montreal.
The 24-year-old was visibly upset during one changeover in the third set. His serve speed had significantly dropped and he appeared to be feeling the left arm.
He has a wild card entry to the Cincinnati Open beginning next week but there are likely to be doubts about his involvement following this defeat, as well as about his involvement in the US Open.
Draper pulled out of the DC Open in Washington last week as well as missing Wimbledon.

Jack Draper broke down in tears midway through his return to the court after long-term injury difficulties as he suffered a first-round exit at the Canadian Open.
In his first appearance since June, the 24-year-old Briton took France's Terence Atmane to three sets before recurring discomfort appeared to limit his play and he lost 6-3 2-6 6-2.
Draper received a main-draw wildcard at the tournament in Montreal after a persistent arm injury kept him sidelined and caused his world ranking to plummet from fourth to as low as 160th in a 12-month period.
Since injuring his shoulder at the US Open in August, Draper has struggled with bone bruising and pulled out of scheduled comebacks at Wimbledon and the Washington Open this summer.
Why can't Draper play, and why won't surgery help?

Britain's Katie Boulter and new husband Alex De Minaur, the Australian world number seven, are among the latest batch of entries for the US Open mixed doubles.
Fellow married couple Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils, ahead of what is expected to be his final Grand Slam event, were also announced by the US Tennis **** ociation on Monday, along with Venus Williams playing alongside Alexander Bublik.
Jack Draper was among the players already announced, alongside American Jessica Pegula, as well as fellow Briton Henry Patten with Katerina Siniakova, plus Novak Djokovic and world number one Aryna Sabalenka.
The tournament takes place on August 25 and 26 before the main tournament begins on August 30.
Of the 29 announced pairings, the six with the best combined singles rankings and eight wildcards will be joined in the 16-strong field by two teams from a qualifying tournament on August 24.

If the Cincinnati Reds didn't lose the trade deadline this time around, they at least didn't do much to make the team better toward the retooling that was supposed to be in play for another try at a playoff run next season.
With seven pending free agents on the roster, along with a few others who attracted serious interest from buyers in the weeks and days leading up to the Aug. 3 deadline, the Reds made exactly two nondescript trades that in a best-case scenario will pay off three or four years from now.
The return for those two players was indicative of the interest level – in most cases non-interest – the front office found in the players it was shopping, according to sources with rival teams on the buyer side of the market as well as within the organization:
First baseman Nathaniel Lowe, a lefty-hitting platoon player who was signed to a one-year, $1.75 million deal the first week of spring training, was traded in the final minutes before the deadline to the Cleveland Guardians for 19-year-old pitcher Alejandro Rivera, a right-handed pitcher in low-A ball, and infielder Juan Brito, a former top-100 prospect who hit .176 in a 15-game MLB debut this season.
Lefty reliever Caleb Ferguson, who signed a one-year $4.5 million deal over the winter, also was traded in the final minutes, to the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals for $250,000 of international bonus-cap **** e.

For now, Mercedes has no plans to give Kimi Antonelli preferential treatment to help secure his first Formula 1 world championship, despite what happened in the 2025 ******* le battle between the two McLaren drivers and Max Verstappen. The team confirmed that winning the constructors' championship remains its primary target.
For most of the 2025 campaign, McLaren had the fastest car, and the constructors' ******* le was already wrapped up by the Singapore Grand Prix. However, the drivers' ******* le nearly slipped through the team's grasp.
The Woking-based team did not favour either Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri, and in the end, Verstappen nearly 'stole' the world ******* le, finishing just two points behind the Briton in the standings.
In 2026, Mercedes finds itself in a similar situation. At the moment, Antonelli leads the drivers' standings, but George Russell is not out of contention either. Lewis Hamilton is currently sitting in second place, and it is possible that the Mercedes drivers could take so many points off each other that, ultimately, the Ferrari driver could take advantage and win the biggest prize.
Nevertheless, Mercedes refuses to throw its full support behind Antonelli. "The simple principle is, if Mercedes can win the race, Mercedes must win the race. That comes first," deputy team principal Bradley Lord said in response to GPblog's question while speaking to a select group of media.

Luis Castillo's tenure as a Seattle Mariner has apparently come to an end. The Mariners announced tonight they have traded Castillo to the White Sox in exchange for reliever Seranthony Dominguez, outfielder Nolan Jones, and catching prospect Boston Smith. Per Daniel Kramer, the Mariners aren't sending any money to offset the remainder of what Castillo is owed on the extension he signed in 2022, which runs through 2027 with a vesting option for 2028 if he reaches 180 innings.
In exchange, the Mariners will be absorbing Dominguez's not-insignificant salary for the remainder of this year and the next year of his contract, when he's slated to make $10.5M. Dominguez also has an option for 2028, but it's a mutual option (with a $2M buyout).
The 31-year-old Dominguez is on pace for the worst season of his career; he still collects strikeouts but his walk rate has ballooned over the past two seasons; he's currently walking over 14% of batters faced. Compounding that problem is a serious case of dingeritis – a career-high 16.7% of fly ******* he's allowed have gone for homers, even in Chicago's ******* ious confines. But he does still strike a lot of batters out and generate whiffs, he can still rush the fastball up at 97+, and he's got a full complement of pitches for the Mariners pitching coaches to work with, even if he's primarily a heater-sweeper pitcher as a reliever. It's an expensive gamble, but the Mariners are both solving their rotation logjam (temporarily) and shedding Castillo's contract in the move; if Dominguez can be Mariner-pitching-hive-minded into even a serviceable mid-innings arm, that's a boon to the beleaguered bullpen.
The other pieces coming over in the trade are interesting in their own right. Nolan Jones is probably a name you're familiar with if you were big into prospects a decade-ish ago; he was a second-rounder drafted by Cleveland in 2016 as a highly athletic two-sport athlete and attracted a lot of prospect attention as he made his way up the ladder for his 6'4" frame, easy raw power from the left side, and a star turn in the Arizona Fall League and the Futures Game in 2019. Unfortunately, injuries derailed his ascent, and he was dealt to the Rockies in 2023 for Juan Brito shortly after making his big-league debut. Now 28, Jones has spent time in the bigs but never really latched on consistently (outside of one 2023 season where he seemed to put it all together for Colorado), mostly due to a monstrous K rate compounded by the length of his swing. He's been with the White Sox Triple-A team this season, blocked by the surprisingly good play at the big-league level, and will likely serve a similar role for Seattle as outfield depth at Tacoma.

A clip from Ed Sheeran's appearance on "The Louis Theroux Podcast" has recently resurfaced on social media, sparking renewed debate over differences between British and American attitudes toward alcohol.
"Americans call something 'alcoholism' that Brits simply call 'culture.' Maybe one or two pints at the end of a workday," the singer said during the 2025 podcast.
"On a Friday you'll have 6 pints and a bottle of wine. It's not alcoholism to drink every day here … It's just the culture."

Americans and Britons consume similar amounts of alcohol overall, with the average adult drinking about 9.7 liters of pure alcohol per year, according to the World Health Organization.

Mercedes deputy technical director Simone Resta has delved into George Russell's recent woes, as the team identified a software issue compounded by the Briton's older power unit.
Russell and his squad have been mystified by a lack of top speed relative to team-mate Kimi Antonelli at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps. Mercedes' lead racer attempted to tweak his driving style, to no avail, as his troubles were linked to the power unit's software code resulting in an imbalance in energy distribution.

"As we all know, it's a very complex new set of regulations with the power unit," Resta said. "It's quite early days. We've just done 10 races so far, and there is a lot to learn. We are still learning a lot together, ourselves and our colleagues at HPP. We found a bug in our software, and we had to react to it.

Anthony Joshua returns to the ring this weekend, as he boxes Kristian Prenga in a warm-up bout for his super-fight with Tyson Fury.
Joshua will face the Albanian, who is a relative unknown, in the Briton’s first fight since surviving a fatal car crash in December, which claimed the lives of two of his teammates.
That accident in Nigeria occurred 10 days after Joshua stopped YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Miami, a fight that “AJ” knows was not a comprehensive gateway to his all-British showdown with Fury.
So, 36-year-old Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) will first face Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs), one night after Fury’s warm-up against Mariusz Wach. Joshua vs Fury is then due in late 2026, with a November date rumoured for Wembley Stadium – provided the fight takes place in the early hours of the morning, apparently.
Before then, on the Joshua vs Prenga undercard, British stars Hamzah Sheeraz and Josh Kelly will put their world **** les on the line. Here’s all you need to know:

Lando Norris has spoken out against the intrusive nature of the paparazzi, detailing a recent incident in London where he was followed for 40 minutes, an experience the 2025 Formula 1 champion described as leaving him feeling "violated".
The Briton opened up about his shifting lifestyle, the challenges of maintaining privacy and the boundaries he expects others to respect while speaking with The Independent ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix.
As his profile and fame have increased following his championship victory in 2025, Norris explained that he has made a conscious effort to enjoy his life away from the pressures of F1.
"I am getting a bit older and I want to be able to go out – that doesn't mean go out and party – that just means have dinners and get out of the house," Norris said.
"Last year, I would just 'game' and feel like a loser, being in my own home. That's not a bad thing. I would keep myself to myself and be disciplined."
