The fight game is an unforgiving one.

Per MMA Junkie on Thursday, PFL DC will no longer feature Thad Jean(10-0) vs. ShamilMusaev (18-1-1) in the main attraction. For currentlyundisclosed reasons, Musaev has been forced to withdraw from hiswelterweight championship affair headlining the card at theCareFirst Arena in the U.S. Capitol. In the Russian's stead will beErnestoRodriguez (11-1), who first postedof his change in opponent and vastly elevated stakes on Wednesdaynight—he was expecting to battle AaronMcKenzie—and then fully confirmedthe news shortly after its announcement. Jean did as well shortlythereafter on his InstagramStories.

This is one of numerous cancelations on fight week and earlier, asathletes MagomedUmalatov, JackCartwright, DenisGoltsov, BrunoCappelozza and MandoGutierrez were all booked for this fight card at one time. Dueto a number of largely undeclared reasons—Cappelozza encounteredissues with his visa—all of those combatants and their scheduledpairings have either been canceled or switched around on this cardor to another. For instance, Cappelozza vs. hasbeen **** ped to PFL Charlotte in August. The current PFL DC lineup sees eightmatches remaining, although the promotion has not indicated if anylate-notice fights will be slotted on the billing.

Jean was vying to become the first U.S.-born PFL champion atop thisevent—not including those that won tournaments—and he will stillreceive that honor. "Silverback" comes into this five-rounder withample momentum on his side as the winner of the final PFL tourneyin 2025. There, he knocked out MukhamedBerkhamov, outworked JasonJackson and outperformed LoganStorley in the span of four months to claim a $500,000 checkand chance for PFL gold.

"Starboy" Rodriguez seizes this opportunity having won his PFLdebut in March. Against MasayukiKikuiri, he snagged a majority decision despite dropping whatmany observers felt was a 10-8 third round, completing a bout inwhich all three Sherdog official scorers turned in 28-28 drawtallies. The fighter born in Cuba worked his way up the Tuff-N-Uffladder from 2022 to 2025, culminating in six wins with the LasVegas-based league to reach a major organization.

The FSU baseball team has added another player through the transfer portal. Former Georgia Bulldogs outfielder Ty Peeples committed to the Seminoles on Thursday, announcing the news on social media.
Peeples was a major recruit in 2025 out of Lavonia, Georgia, and appeared in 32 games as a true freshman for the Bulldogs, making one start. He went 5-17 at the plate with two doubles, three RBI, and nine runs scored. He walked and struck out six times.
He stole three bases and made one error in the outfield, finishing with an .889 fielding percentage. He is the first outfielder that FSU has added in the portal this offseason and will challenge for a starting spot.
Peeples was taken in the 20th round of the 2025 MLB Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. Perfect Game ranked him as the No. 10 outfielder and the No. 1 player in Georgia in the 2025 class.
He is FSU's third transfer commitment so far, joining pitcher Cameron Suchy and two-way slugger Jackson McKenzie. While his playing time was limited at Georgia, the Seminoles will look to tap into Peeple's potential.
