Conway first stepped into a ring at the age of 10 and persisted with the sport despite his father – a boxing trainer – telling him he was not “tough enough”.He said: “Back when I was a kid, that was probably the case. I was not big, I was skinny, I didn’t really have much confidence or character.”Now, though, as a father himself, Conway uses his family as motivation for his fights.”Every time my opponent says something slightly disrespectful, I see it as an insult to my daughter. That’s what drives me. He’s genuinely disrespecting and insulting my family by…

The goal of this regression-centric space is to tell fantasy football folks which of their borderline fantasy options are running particularly hot or particularly cold, to use a little technical language.Every week during the regular season I’ll highlight players whose usage and opportunity doesn’t quite match their production. That might look like a running back scoring touchdowns at an unsustainable clip or a pass catcher putting up big stat lines while working as a rotational player in his offense.

But business was booming since then, with 30 finishes and 39 graduates earning their place on the UFC roster, and this evening in Las Vegas, things wrapped up with a history-making bang.   Five of the six fights ended inside the distance, including the first Suloev stretch submission and initial spinning back elbow knockout in Dana White’s Contender Series…

MILWAUKEE — Much as it had all game, Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s 0-2 splitter appeared it would float over the heart of the plate, before suddenly darting sharply. This one came inside the hands of Andrew Vaughn, carving up the right-hander for a swinging strike three.Yamamoto turned and paced around the mound, his head down. When he glanced up a few moments later, he could do little to conceal a grin. Yamamoto exhaled, clapped his hand into his glove and said the word most fans were probably thinking after his masterclass of an outing: “Wow.”The ballgame was over, the Los Angeles Dodgers…
