Islam Makhachev is an elite fighter, but can his chin withstand the striking of Jack Della Maddalena? Maddalena’s coach, Ben Vickers, doesn’t seem convinced. Makhachev vacated the UFC Lightweight Championship to challenge Maddalena for the welterweight gold at UFC 322 in New York City. The title fight is scheduled to take place on Nov. 15. “JDM” captured the 170-pound hardware by defeating Makhachev’s teammate, Belal Muhammad, back in May. Appearing on Submission Radio, Vickers suggested that Muhammad has a more sturdy chin than Makhachev (h/t MMAJunkie). “I just don’t think Islam has the chin that Belal has,” Vickers told Submission…

Exactly one week after relegating him to the bullpen, the Boston Red Sox on Friday announced that they have released right-handed pitcher Walker Buehler. It’s been quite a tumble for Buehler. He finished fourth in NL Cy Young voting in 2021, when he was 16-4 with a 2.47 ERA and 7.1 WAR in 207 ⅔ innings. In 2022, he needed Tommy John surgery to repair his elbow. In his return in 2024, he had a miserable regular season and a disappointing first postseason start, but he worked 10 scoreless innings in three outings to finish the playoffs, including recording a save…

Colorado coach Deion Sanders is 0-1 without his son Shedeur at quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter at wide receiver and cornerback.Colorado opened the 2025 season with a 27-20 loss at home to Georgia Tech.Although Sanders has recruited well and brought excitement to a Colorado program that was in rough shape before he arrived, the loss to Georgia Tech put some of his weaknesses as a coach on display. Sanders’ teams have consistently struggled to manage late-game situations, and his Buffaloes showed some terrible clock management in the final minute of the loss to Georgia Tech, letting far too…

Arguably the toughest test of Tony Ferguson’s 12-fight UFC winning streak came just three matchups in.On this day, August 30, in 2014, the UFC 177 pay-per-view took place at the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California.The main event saw a short-notice title fight, as Octagon newcomer Joe Soto fought valiantly against TJ Dillashaw after being called up to the main event the day before when Renan Barao was hospitalized during his weight cut.On a main card that included four finishes, the only contest to go the distance was Ferguson’s co-main event against Danny Castillo. The bout came as the third…
