Tai Tuivasa will look to evade a UFC record-tying losing streak when he welcomes Robelis Despaigne back to the octagon.
Tuivasa (14-10 MMA, 8-10 UFC) and Despaigne (6-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) are set to clash at UFC 331 on Sept. 19 from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles (Paramount+), promotion officials announced Wednesday.
Tuivasa is on a seven-fight skid, one loss shy from tying the UFC record. The 33-year-old made the move to American Top Team in hopes of turning things around after dropping two straight decisions to Tallison Teixeira and Louie Sutherland in his return.
After back-to-back losses to Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Austen Lane, Despaigne was released by the UFC in October 2024. He was re-signed by the UFC after scoring a first-round TKO of former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos at MVP's inaugural MMA event this past May, as well as going 7-0 under the Karate Combat banner.

Germany's third-tier season begins on Friday, 7 August, with former Bundesliga side Waldhof Mannheim taking on 1-time Deutscher Meister Fortuna Düsseldorf at the iconic 25,000-capacity Karl Benz Stadion, an absolute Spitzenspiel, a meeting of two sides which should be among the challengers this coming 3. Liga season.

Will 1. FC Saarbrücken go one better and finally win promotion? Will Preußen Münster bounce straight back to winning ways? Or can the league's most popular 1955 Deutsche Meister Rot-Weiss Essen end their long exile and finally return to the second-tier promised land? This season will be fiercely contested; here is the season preview:
In 25/26, attendances in the 3. Liga, for the second season running, surpassed that of the EFL League 1 and now stands at 11,566 on average per game.
This league is popular; there is outstanding football played and in some incredible grounds. The coming season in terms of competitiveness could just be the most attractive third tier in years.

We asked for your thoughts on West Ham's ongoing ownership tug of war and whether you think it will impact the club's ability to win promotion straight back to the Premier League this season.
Here are a selection of your responses:
Brendan: If West Ham can't begin to iron out their very obvious off-field problems, they won't have a chance in the Championship.
Baz: No signings. Three midfielders sold. Boardroom bickering. League One beckons.

When creators of "Ted Lasso" decided to return after a two-year hiatus, they could have taken the easy route.
With a release date set on the heels of the 2026 FIFA men's World Cup, America's favorite soccer coach could have returned to AFC Richmond to reclaim the helm of the (fictional) club's men's team, now competing in the Premier League.
Reunited with Coach Beard, they could have faced a fresh set of challenges alongside the familiar characters who turned the Apple TV series into a global phenomenon and delivered his signature pink box of shortbread biscuits to Richmond owner Rebecca Welton's desk, carrying on with business as usual.
Instead, the show's latest season, which premieres on Apple TV on Aug. 5, took the series in a different direction.
Season 4 follows AFC Richmond's women's team as it chases promotion from England's second division, anchoring one of television's most beloved comedies in the fastest-growing sector of the world's most popular sport: women's soccer.

The Atlanta Falcons' sixth training camp practice generated a wide range of emotions from the fans. The day began with the team signing Bijan Robinson to a three-year, $75 million extension, and ended with an unfortunate injury to Jalon Walker.
While Walker might be out for the season with what NFL insiders are hinting is a torn ACL, Robinson's extension is still a big win for this Falcons front office
The former Texas Longhorns star has established himself as one of the NFL's best, if not the No. 1 running back in the game, and his new deal pays him as such. Robinson's first three seasons have been as good as anyone could have hoped, and now he's locked in for three additional years.
For The Win writer Cory Woodroof gave the Falcons an "A" grade for Robinson's extension, saying they didn't have much of a choice but to re-sign the 24-year-old.
"The Falcons didn't really have a choice but to extend Robinson for what he was worth," wrote Woodroof. "With Robinson, London, Pitts and guard Matthew Bergeron all agreeing to new deals over the summer, the Falcons can rest on some vital consistency and good play at multiple positions on the offense. That matters with quarterback uncertainty."

Daisuke Yokota has joined Rangers from Hannover 96 just a month after making his loan move to the 2 Bundesliga side permanent.
Yokota spent last season on loan at Hannover from Belgian outfit Gent and the German made the deal permanent last month but have sold the ****** anese winger for an undisclosed fee.
The 26-year-old made 30 appearances in the German second division and scored five goals as well as setting up four as Hannover finished fourth and narrowly missed out on a chance of promotion.

FC St. Pauli and Jackson Irvine have agreed to announce that they are going separate ways, effective immediately.
The Australian is moving to J. League side Cerezo Osaka, while the two clubs have agreed not to disclose any details of the transfer.
Irvine first signed for the Kiezkickers in the summer of 2021 and soon established himself as a key member of the team.
Irvine's performances led to him taking the captain's armband and playing a major part in the club's promotion to the Bundesliga.

The transfer market is reaching boiling point while institutional football goes through turbulent times. This August 5 comes loaded with top-level meetings in Madrid and Morocco, tensions in Vallecas, moves involving young South American prospects heading to Serie A, and an emotional tribute that has broken the hearts of both Barça and Milan fans alike.
FC Barcelona sporting director Deco has urgently traveled to Madrid to hold a summit meeting with Julián Álvarez's camp. The Blaugrana club is looking to draw up the final strategy and try to sign the Argentine striker before the market closes, with the player's own approval to push for his departure.
Franco Mastantuono's move to Fiorentina is on the verge of being unblocked. Real Madrid views a loan or a transfer with an option to buy for the Argentine gem to a top-level Serie A club very positively, in order to guarantee his development in a highly competitive league.
Milan turned out in force for the final and emotional farewell to legend Franco Baresi. Thousands of fans packed the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio for a funeral where historic figures such as Maldini, Van Basten, and Baggio said goodbye through tears and applause to the eternal Rossonero captain.
Gianni Infantino has called an emergency meeting in Rabat alongside top FIFA executives and figures such as Arsène Wenger. Pressure is mounting on the organization's president following disagreements with member ****** ociations over commercial plans and the global calendar.

Joe Rogan believes RicoVerhoeven will financially benefit more from boxing than fromjoining the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Verhoeven recently asked for Rogan's suggestion about competinginside the Octagon during an appearance on the UFC commentator'spodcast.
The former Glory Kickboxing champion noted that ConorMcGregor had reportedly earned a massive payday for his returnfight last month, which lasted 69 seconds. However, Rogan advisedthe 37-year-old against signing with the UFC at this point in hiscareer.

Rogan believes Verhoeven can earn more money in boxing. He alsoclaimed that Verhoeven's friend and training partner TomAspinall could have a career in boxing in the future and thatthe Brit will benefit from working with Eddie Hearn.

"For you, boxing makes the most sense, especially at this point inyour life, financially," Rogan told Verhoeven. "For Tom, he has apotential career in boxing as well. And now that Eddie Hearn ismanaging him, which is very exciting because Matchroom being behindhim is gonna have a gigantic hype machine, gigantic promotion. Theyare at odds with the UFC. For me, I care about the fighters makingthe most money possible, and that's how [Tom] is gonna make themost money possible."

Verhoeven vacated his Glory heavyweight **** le last year afterdefending it against ArtemVakhitov, the last man to beat AlexPereira in kickboxing. The Dutchman then challenged formerchamp Oleksandr Usyk this past May. While Verhoeven was a massiveunderdog, he led the dance for the most part before slowing down inthe later rounds.

Seemingly en route to a potentially monumental upset win, he wasknocked down late in the 11th round. While Verhoeven returned tohis feet, Usyk followed up and the referee bizarrely stopped thefight with a second left in the stanza.

CLEVELAND — The Guardians are planning to call up switch-hitting shortstop Angel Genao from the Triple-A Columbus Clippers on Wednesday, Aug. 5, according to multiple reports.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart draws penalty lesson after heated training camp exchange originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart showed the passion that has made him one of the team's most intriguing young players, but his emotions got the better of him during Tuesday's training camp practice.
Following a touchdown run in a red-zone drill, Dart celebrated by throwing the football at the helmet of cornerback Greg Newsome. The ball struck Newsome before bouncing away, immediately drawing the attention of several defensive players, who surrounded the rookie quarterback as tensions briefly flared.
While no punches were thrown, the exchange was enough for head coach Jim Harbaugh to step in with an immediate teaching moment.
Rather than simply moving on to the next play, Harbaugh treated Dart's celebration as if it had occurred during a regular-season game. He **** sed the offense a simulated 15-yard taunting penalty, forcing kicker Ben Sauls to attempt a much more difficult 48-yard extra point instead of a routine kick.

The UCLA Bruins football team participated in media day on Wednesday and three of the Bruins' best players were interviewed by Mike Hall on the Big Ten Network.
Among those players was starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, the junior who transferred to Westwood from Tennessee last summer.
Hall started the interview by asking each player about what feels different at UCLA this season under Bob Chesney compared to a year ago with DeShaun Foster. Hall then questioned Iamaleava about the differences and similarities between each head coach's offensive philosophies, which shifted with the hiring of new offensive coordinator Dean Kennedy.
"Yeah, a little similar. There's going to be different changes with the formations, shifts and motions. I think it's a lot similar to last year, just different words," Iamaleava explained. "I've continued to dive into that playbook and get comfortable with it. It's been fun under coach Kennedy and coach Ches."
After the Bruins scored more than 20 points in only five games last season, the pairing of Chesney and Kennedy has plenty of room to improve the offense entering a new campaign.

California is asking a federal judge to throw out Tory Lanez's $100 million federal lawsuit over his prison stabbing.
According to newly filed court documents reviewed by Complex, Attorney General Rob Bonta's office submitted a motion on Wednesday (July 29) seeking to dismiss every claim against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, arguing the agency cannot legally be sued under the federal law Lanez is relying on. Specifically, the AG is claiming that the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution gives the state immunity from being sued in federal court.
The amendment says, "The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State." The AG's office makes the argument that this prohibition applies as well to any action against a state by one of its own citizens.
The motion asks the court to dismiss Lanez's claims without giving his attorneys an opportunity to amend the complaint.

A.J. Hinch understands why the Detroit Tigers' trade deadline created frustration inside and outside the clubhouse.
Detroit traded Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize while remaining close to an American League playoff spot, leaving Hinch to guide a roster dealing with both disappointment and uncertainty.
"It's impossible not to be emotional about it," Hinch said. "It comes with some curiosity and it comes with some frustration. But once that settles, you look up and there's 50 games left and we're going to play all of them and we're going to try to win all of them. But I'm not naïve to the fact that the path is a little harder and that this group, coming off a really good series in Sacramento, is beat up a little bit."
The deadline changed Detroit's rotation, but Hinch does not believe it changed the responsibility facing the players who remain.
"But when the first pitch is thrown tonight, our guys will be ready to play because we're pretty tough-minded," Hinch said. "We understand what's in front of us. I don't think anybody is ready to cancel the season so play on."

After a bit of a dud on Monday night, the Brewers will, for the third day in a row, go for their 70th win tonight as they attempt to even this four-game series against Pittsburgh at one game apiece. With a 6-1 record, the Pirates have had Milwaukee's number this season, a stark change over the modern history in this divisional rivalry; over the last 20 years, the Brewers have an overall record of 194-126 against the Buccos.
Tonight's pitching matchup features two bright young stars, both 24 years old, though not the first two who might come to mind when considering these two teams. For the Brewers, Logan Henderson—still a Brewer after many a speculative fan had linked him to a Tarik Skubal trade before the deadline yesterday—gets the nod, while the Pirates send Jared Jones.
By rate stats, Henderson has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. A back injury has limited his innings, but this will be his fifth start since missing about a month and a half between late May and early July. In the nine starts that Henderson has made, he's pitched to a 2.66 ERA and 2.80 FIP, a 0.909 WHIP, and 11 strikeouts to just 1.8 walks per nine innings. You'd expect that the league will adjust to Henderson at some point, and he's averaged less than five innings per start this season, but in his limited sample as a big leaguer he's been outstanding.
Jones, who is right-handed and a few months older than Henderson, is back on track after missing all of the 2025 season due to Tommy John surgery. Jones, who was a top-100 prospect prior to his debut in 2024, has pitched to a 3.81 ERA and 3.48 FIP in 52 innings across 11 starts this season with impressive peripheral numbers of his own (10 K/9, 2.6 BB/9). In contrast to Henderson, and like last night's starter, Bubba Chandler, Jones is a high velocity guy; his 98.4 average fastball velocity is in the top five percent of the league. Jones relies heavily on that fastball but gets a ton of whiffs with the slider he plays off of it. Jones is primarily a fastball/slider pitcher but mixes in a changeup every now and then and, a few times a game, a curveball.
With yesterday's trades, the Brewers have made some adjustments to their roster. Garrett Stallings' heroic outing on Monday night was rewarded with a demotion to Triple-A Nashville (life is tough for fringey pitchers), but the headline—not unexpected—is that Brandon Sproat will join him there.

Darren Till and Yoel Romero had to be forced apart by security their face-off ran beyond three tense minutes as the ex-UFC pair set the tone for their dream match in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
Liverpudlian Till, 33, is making his second outing for the Conor McGregor-owned bare-knuckle promotion after securing a knockout win of Aaron Chalmers, once of Geordie Shore fame, in his debut in May.
The former UFC **** le contender now clashes with someone he once shared the middleweight rankings with in Romero, who at 49 continues to prove his reputation as a physical specimen.
After trading barbs in their press conference in Manchester, the fighters took to the stage to close out the show with a customary face-off - and while there were no fireworks in the sense of a physical clash, it **** ed attention for a completely different reason.
Romero slowly lifted his head and locked eyes with Till, with their stare not broken for a total of three minutes and 28 seconds.

Liverpool fighter Darren Till believes Conor McGregor should "listen to his body" after suffering catastrophic leg injuries in back-to-back UFC fights - but would still jump at the chance to fight the Irishman in his bare-knuckle promotion.
McGregor made his hotly-anticipated return to the Octagon in July after five years out of the cage, but his clash with Max Holloway ended in disaster in just 69 seconds when he endured what turned out to be an ACL tear, after throwing an audacious jumping roundhouse in the first moments of the fight.
The 38-year-old injured the same right leg he broke against Dustin Poirier in 2021, sparking many to speculate whether this latest setback would be the end of his career.
McGregor, however, has insisted he will make a comeback for the final fight in his UFC contract, setting his sights on next summer despite questions surrounding his physical state.

In a recent report, Sport claimed that Manchester United have identified Racing Santander youngster Jorge Salinas as a target for this summer transfer window. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are willing to trigger the Spanish defender's release clause to beat Barcelona in the race to land him this off-season.
Salinas enjoyed a good run of form at the Spanish club in the previous campaign when he produced a series of impressive displays for them on the left flank. The 19-year-old picked up seven ******* ists in 34 matches for Rayo Vallecano last season across all competitions.
The Spanish teenager is currently one of the most gifted young defenders in La Liga. Thus, the Red Devils would do well to win the race for his services in this transfer period.
His current contract at the Spanish club will expire in the summer of 2029, which could make it difficult for Man United to sign him on a cut-price deal this off-season.

Richard Childress Racing will have some adjustments to its driver lineups in 2027. Following Kyle Busch's tragic death, Austin Hill has driven the renumbered No. 33 Cup car. The organization has yet to name a replacement for 2027; however, their likely driver lineups for next year's NASCAR season have been revealed.
Hill is the leading candidate to drive the No. 33 Cup car next to Austin Dillon during the 2027 Cup Series season. With Hill's likely promotion to the Cup Series, it leaves two openings in the NASCAR O'Reilly Series. Chandler Smith is expected to drive one of the O'Reilly Series cars, with Carson Brown as the other favorite, as reported by FOX Sports' Bob Pockrass.
Smith appears to be at Richard Childress Racing either way, but Brown would likely replace Hill if he went to the Cup Series. After all, the current driver of the No. 21 O'Reilly car has been strong as Busch's replacement. Richard Childress Racing will undergo changes, and the likely lineups would be strong for the 2027 NASCAR season.

The Dodgers entered the 2026 season with ambitions of becoming team to three-peat in 26 years. Following Monday's trade deadline, they echoed that sentiment with a summer blockbuster and an encore.
Their string of deals began late Saturday night, as after suffering a 3-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox, they struck a deal that infuriated nearly the entire baseball world. The Dodgers landed two-time defending AL Cy Young award winner Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers while sending away outfield prospect Zyhir Hope, right-hander River Ryan and pitching prospect Brady Smith.
The addition of Skubal not only invigorates an already vaunted rotation (when fully healthy), it gives the Dodgers another left-handed option that is a proven innings eater. Before Skubal needed surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow, he had logged at least six innings of work in six of his first seven starts. He hasn't matched his pre-injury average start length since returning on June 13, but he has logged at least five innings in all but one of his nine final starts in Detroit.
For a Dodgers rotation that is still missing Shohei Ohtani, Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow, adding Skubal in the mix keeps the six-man rotation as the norm for the pitching staff down the stretch. With Emmet Sheehan's demotion to Triple-A, the current rotation features Skubal, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki, Justin Wrobleski and Eric Lauer, and until the other three starters return, the Dodgers could implement a weekly bullpen game. Skubal will certainly headline the four-man rotation in the postseason, and the Dodgers have seven options to choose to accompany him come October.
Gauging what the postseason rotation will be a work in progress until October arrives. Skubal and Yamamoto are shoe-ins at the top, but the final two spots are completely up for grabs. Blake Snell is set to return next week after a final rehab start, while Tyler Glasnow has yet to embark on his rehab ***** ignment. The latter is projected to return sometime in September. Ohtani's status for returning to the mound in the regular season is unclear, though the team expects him back in October. The trio of Sasaki, Wrobleski and Lauer all were used exclusively in relief last year for both the Dodgers and Blue Jays.

The Chicago Bears amped up the intensity during Tuesday's padded practice, which featured several live periods and brought out the emotions. So it's not surprise that the first scuffle of the summer broke out, featuring a pair of notable rookies.
According to Sean Hammond, sixth-round rookie defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg slammed undrafted rookie offensive lineman Caden Barnett into the ground after a snap with the third-team units. It was the first time tempers have flared at Halas Hall this summer.
Patrick Finley added that defensive end Montez Sweat "appeared very excited." In fact, the whole defense was "fired up," according to Greg Braggs.
