The Brazil U-15 Men's National Team opened its CONMEBOL Liga Evolución 2026 campaign with a 1-0 win over Colombia on Tuesday morning (8) at Parque Guasu in Luque, Paraguay. Kauã Lucas scored the goal that earned the young Seleção all three points in the 29th minute of the first half.
After a long clearance for the Brazilian defense, Valmir headed the ball back toward the young Seleção's attack and found Samuell, who passed to Kauã Lucas. Wearing the No. 11 shirt, he controlled the play with his head, already getting past the Colombian defender. He then burst forward at speed until he was one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper and finished into the corner to seal the final score.
The result put Brazil at the top of the North Zone group. In the other match in the group, Venezuela and Peru drew 4-4.

Tyron Woodley still sees MMA in his near future.
The former UFC welterweight champion hasn't competed in MMA since suffering his fourth-straight loss to Vicente Luque in March 2021. He has since boxed three times and has two wrestling matches booked for RAF.
As for MMA, Woodley (19-7-1) is open to a return as soon as this year.
"I never retired (from MMA)," Woodley told MMA Junkie Radio. "People just said I retired. You never heard me formally come out and retire, or put my gloves down anywhere, or even say the word retirement. Because I haven't fought MMA since 2021, a lot of people call me retired. In this sport, if you don't refute it, and you don't go back and defend it, or you correct people, then people run with it. So I found out a long time ago that everybody knows everything, just let them know it. So I never retired from MMA. I never closed that chapter. It's actually quite the opposite. You may even see me fight MMA this year. You may see me wrestle twice, fight MMA and box. I feel like I'm getting to the part where my body being used as a way to generate wealth is coming to an end. I'm getting closer and closer and closer to that moment.
"I feel like the more I can stay in shape, the more I can just keep training, the better I'm going to be. We all know me with consistency. When I had that ***** le run, I fought four world ***** le fights in one year. I feel like knowing yourself is the most important part. I know when I've got something ahead of me, I've got a date, I've got an opportunity, I know that my body is going to be disciplined, it's going to be more focused, less distractions are going to come in. It's just something about being in a camp. That daily regimen is just a discipline I need in life. So I'm just staying in camp, whatever that is, whatever combat it is. I'm thankfully blessed to be versed in many, many different forms of combat. I'm really open to doing any and all, minus bare knuckle, and that leaves me with a lot of things to do."

UFC 330 brought the violence – and the ***** ps and bruises.
On Thursday, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission (PSAC) released a full list of medical suspensions issued to the combatants from Saturday's event at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
The highest-profile name to receive a suspension was Islam Makhachev, who the commission diagnosed with a rib contusion, resulting in a 30-day term handed out. Ian Machado Garry, whom he beat by unanimous decision in the main event, did not receive a medical suspension. Neither did co-main event participants Mackenzie Dern and Gillian Robertson.
Three fighters from the undercard are facing indefinite suspensions. Unsurprisingly, Tresean Gore, who lost at least one tooth as the result of a Vicente Luque flying knee, is among that bunch. Eduardo Chapolin and Ramiz Brahimaj are also now on indefinite suspensions as a result of their finish losses.
Check out a full list of PSAC medical suspensions below. It's important to note that in most cases, fighters can return sooner than the duration ***** igned to them, as long as they are cleared by a proper medical professional.

Gore picked apart Luque on the feet for the majority of the 15 minutes and was able to avoid his opponent's submission attempts to win his second straight fights inside the Octagon after finishing Azamat Bekoev in his last bout.
Taking to his social media following the event, Gore shared his reaction to beating Luque at UFC 330 in what is the biggest win of his MMA career to date.

Chidi Njokuani will compete at UFC 330 after all.
On Wednesday, the promotion announced via social media that Joel Alvarez is set to step in on short notice to face Njokuani at UFC 330 in Philadelphia. The event takes place Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena and streams exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S.
Alvaro Colmenero first reported the matchup via Twitter.
Alvarez steps in for Geoff Neal who was forced to withdraw from the bout. After a 7-2 run at lightweight that — including seven finishes — Alvarez made the move up to the welterweight division, winning his 170-pound debut via decision against Vicente Luque at UFC Rio this past October. "El Fenomeno" would have a rough go in his sophomore welterweight appearance as he was dominated and stopped by former Bellator champ Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 in May.
Njokuani remains on the card in hopes of snapping a two-fight skid, including a 69-second submission loss to Jake Matthews at UFC Nashville in July 2025, and a unanimous decision loss to Carlos Leal at February's UFC Houston event.

The U.S. is home to some of the most dependable dividend-paying stocks in the world, some of which have payout increase streaks measured in decades. And yes, S&P 500 member firms spend sizable sums annually on dividends.
Yet, that index's dividend yield hovers around multi-decade lows. That confirms that equity income investors can benefit from looking abroad; the ALPS International Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (IDOG) makes that objective easier. The $547.1 million ETF, which turns 13 years old this month, leans into high dividend payers from across the ex-U.S. developed markets landscape.
However, IDOG is not home to yield traps. The ETF's 3.41% distribution is more than triple that of the S&P 500, but it's not so high as to imply the fund's holdings are at risk of being dividend offenders.
"An unusually high yield can be a warning sign rather than an opportunity, reflecting a falling share price caused by deteriorating fundamentals or financial stress," noted Morningstar's Fernando Luque.
