Dricus Du Plessis didn’t have much fun on Saturday night. | Getty/UFC Dricus Du Plessis simply had no answers for Khamzat Chimaev’s wrestling.The South African’s middleweight championship reign ended in lopsided fashion at UFC 319, as Du Plessis was grounded repeatedly in a unanimous decision defeat at the United Center in Chicago on Saturday night.

While the bulk of the New York Knicks’ roster is set for the start of the 2025-26 season, the team still has some loose ends to tie up before the start of the season.After signing Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele, who took slightly less than the taxpayer midlevel exception to come to the Knicks, New York can round out its main roster with one more veteran minimum player and a second-round rookie exception player.It’s far too early to make too many sweeping conclusions about how the depth chart will look under new head coach Mike Brown, especially considering the Knicks…
