This is the UFC 332 live blog for Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Payton Talbott, bantamweight co-main event Saturday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
Figueiredo (25-7-1), a two-time UFC flyweight champion, is currently No. 11 at 135 pounds in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, while Talbott (11-1) looks to have a number next to his name on our charts for the first time.
This is a pivotal bout for the 38-year-old Figueiredo, who has lost two straight and four of his past five.

Texas A&M football is awaiting news about one of its top offensive players. 
Wide receiver Mario Craver left the field during Saturday night’s game against Arkansas and did not return before the first half ended. With 8 minnutes, 17 seconds on the clock, Craver hobbled to the sideline on his own power.

DeSean Bishop brought some extra motivation into Tennessee football’s matchup with Auburn and coach Alex Golesh.
The senior running back said Golesh, who worked as the Vols offensive coordinator from 2021-23, was one of the reasons why he didn’t earn a scholarship coming out of Karns High School in 2023.
“I’m not going to lie, I’m going to keep it real, this game was very personal from just the mindset of Golesh,” Bishop said after the No. 17 Vols won 24-14 at Neyland Stadium on Oct. 3.

Alex Pereira’s second heavyweight fight is officially set. The former two-division UFC champion will take on Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335 on December 12 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The fight will be five rounds and serve as the co-main event of the card. UFC CEO Dana White first announced the matchup Saturday during Nina Drama’s Kick livestream, before the promotion officially confirmed it during the UFC 332 broadcast.
Pereira is coming off a knockout loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC Freedom 250.

After his latest phenomenal performance of the 2026 season, Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith stated the obvious.
“You’ve just got to [let] the Heisman voters or whoever it is know that I’m the best player in the country,” Smith said, via Adam Rittenberg of ESPN. “I’ve got to be there.”
In the Buckeyes’ 31-14 win over Iowa, Smith broke the Ohio State record for career receptions with 207 and career touchdown catches with 36.
He also tied the program record with his 15th career 100-yard game.

When the Cleveland Cavaliers landed Peyton Watson from the Denver Nuggets in August, many felt that it was a consolation prize. After all, the hope was that the Cavs would reunite with LeBron James for a third and final time. That hope was dashed after James opted to join the Philadelphia 76ers, and because of that, the Cavs had to pivot.

South Carolina and Kentucky put on the game of the week in the SEC, and Will Stein made sure it came down to one play.
Kentucky’s first-year coach chose to end the game with a two-point conversion attempt at the end of the second overtime with his team trailing by one point.

The North Carolina Tar Heels gave third-ranked Notre Dame everything they had on Saturday afternoon inside Kenan Stadium.
UNC scored an opening-drive touchdown, with Billy Edwards and Shamar Easter connecting on a 6-yard play-action pass, coming right after a defensive stop. North Carolina returned the second-half opening kickoff for a touchdown and never backed down.
Eventually, the Tar Heels got tired late in a 38-27 loss. The Fighting Irish (5-0) utilized their power run game to the tune of a season-high 241 rushing yards.

Kentucky Football took the field on Saturday ranked as a top-25 team in America with their sights set on securing another conference road win, this time at South Carolina.
If you were looking for a fast start from the Cats in Columbia, you found yourself sorely disappointed. The Gamecocks dominated the first quarter in every aspect of the game. Before you could settle into your seat, the score was 14-0, and Will Stein’s team was searching for answers.
Through four games this season, Stein had done a terrific job having his team ready to play.

The 2026-27 Arizona women’s basketball team met with local media on Wednesday afternoon. If there’s a theme for this year’s Wildcats, it’s “versatility.”
The word was used by one player after another when she was asked to describe her game.

Tarik Skubal allowed one run in six dominant innings, and the Dodgers beat the Braves 5-3 on Saturday in Game 1 of their NL Division Series.

CLEVELAND — Months before he played his first game as a member of the Chicago White Sox, Munetaka Murakami endeared himself to a star-starved fan base, with his jovial energy and infectious enthusiasm about his jump from Japan’s NPB to MLB on display in his introductory media conference in December.
Murakami fielded questions from local Chicago media, his personality shining through with each answer. Asked what makes him such a dangerous hitter, Murakami gave his interpreter, Kenzo Yagi, a break and grinned. 
“Power,” he said in English. “Power,” he repeated, his smile growing.

Nick Saban is widely regarded as one of the greatest head coaches in the history of college football. He is most famously known for coaching the Alabama Crimson Tide football program, where he earned most of his success and fame.
He currently works as an ESPN analyst and covers college football. Despite his immense success, he has also made some mistakes. He recently admitted to some of his greatest regrets.
Nick Saban reveals regret with “Kick Six”
Saban led Alabama to six national championships in the 17 seasons he spent there.

The Cleveland Browns are 3-1, with Deshaun Watson leading the offense. Still, the team could make changes before the NFL trade deadline as competition grows across the roster.
ESPN analyst Dan Graziano believes Cleveland should trade wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. Jeudy’s production has dropped while rookies are earning bigger roles, and a deal could help the Browns adjust their offense and strengthen their playoff push.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Munetaka Murakami really wanted to get the first run for the Chicago White Sox in a postseason game.
The Japanese power-hitter delivered that with a two-run homer as the White Sox defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-0 on Saturday in an AL Division Series opener.
“That’s what playoff baseball is about, is your big dogs going out there and making big plays,” manager Will Venable said. “Mune is the guy in the middle of the lineup that’s been doing it all year for us. Long ball is part of our game specifically with Mune.

The Green Bay Packers entered 2026 expecting their defensive line to look different after several major changes from last season. They added veteran Javon Hargrave, welcomed back Devonte Wyatt and gave several younger linemen opportunities to earn bigger roles.
Warren Brinson was among the young players expected to benefit from those changes. The 2025 sixth-round pick had been building momentum before injuries interrupted the start of what was supposed to be an important second NFL season.

CHARLOTTE, NC — Memphis football’s Oct. 3 game against Charlotte was competitive for less than five minutes.
Facing fourth-and-1 on its own 49, Charlotte coach Tim Albin decided to punt. The next play was a 93-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Stokes to Jermane Hayes.
“Once I got it, I was just thinking about scoring,” Hayes said. “I got a fast burst.”
The game was essentially out of reach after that.

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — Noah Kim threw for 219 yards and two touchdowns as Eastern Michigan beat Massachusetts 38-14 on Saturday to improve to 2-0 in Mid-American Conference play for the first time since 2005.
The Eagles (3-3, 2-0 MAC) spoiled Massachusetts’ first sellout at McGuirk Alumni Stadium since 2014 and handed the Minutemen their first loss of the season.
Kim opened the scoring with a 27-yard touchdown pass to Kozy Isaac before Braydon Bennett’s 2-yard touchdown run gave Eastern Michigan a 14-0 lead late in the second quarter.

Fantasy managers will be tasked with hard lineup decisions in Week 4 that could decide the fate of their fantasy football matchup. A couple of WRs this week who are hovering on the start-and-sit line are San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel and Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka.
Both have unique fantasy outlooks going into the upcoming slate of games.

HOUSTON — Keyone Jenkins silenced the sparse TDECU Stadium crowd when he scrambled for a 5-yard touchdown run on third-and-goal. UCF, mired in a 10-game road losing streak, stunningly built a three-score lead against 20th-ranked Houston with six minutes left in the third quarter.
Conner Weigman rallied the host Cougars while UCF ran out of steam and, more importantly, reinforcements — resulting in a disappointing, downward spiral.

A high school football game between undefeated South and host Briggs that was suspended because of multiple fights will resume at 5 p.m. Oct. 5, Briggs coach Harold Bates told The Dispatch.
The game began Oct. 2 and was called late in the third quarter with South leading 12-7.
Ohio High School Athletic Association rules typically dictate that when a game is halted, the score at the time becomes final.
But Bates told The Dispatch that play will continue in what he called a “closed game. Coaches, players, administrators only.”
South is 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the City League-South.

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — CJ Miller and Connor Walendzak combined for 299 yards rushing and three touchdowns to lead Toledo to a 39-24 victory over Ball State on Saturday in the Mid-American Conference opener for the Rockets.
It is Toledo’s fourth straight win and sixth consecutive conference victory dating to last season.
Miller scored two touchdowns and finished with 196 yards rushing that included a pair of runs of at least 50 yards. Walendzak added 103 and scored on a 30-yard run. John Alan Richter was 19-of-35 passing for 201 yards and threw a touchdown pass for Toledo (4-1, 1-0).

Lamine Yamal continued his superb goalscoring form as Spain secured a 3-1 win over the Czech Republic on Saturday in the Nations League.
The world champions moved three points clear of England at the top of Group A3, after Thomas Tuchel’s side demolished Croatia 7-0 earlier on in Rijeka.

The White Sox shut out the Guardians to win Game 1 of their AL Division Series 3-0 on Saturday.

The Fever did not expect to be reflecting on their season on Saturday morning.
Built on the back of a historic offense, Indiana felt it had a real chance to make a deep playoff run. But a “buzzsaw,” as general manager Amber Cox called them, in the Aces ended their season for the second consecutive year.
“That part sucks, man,” Kelsey Mitchell said.

Lauren Magnus is a junior setter for Boerne. (Boerne Volleyball)

Boerne’s Lauren Magnus played a huge role in setting up the Greyhounds to take control of the District 26-5A volleyball race with a pair of big wins last week.
Now, she has been voted the Express-News Athlete of the Week.
The senior setter combined for 67 assists in wins over Alamo Heights and Boerne Champion. Her 36 assists in a four-set win over the Chargers put the Greyhounds in first place in 26-5A with an unbeaten district record.
Magnus won the weekly poll over four other Athlete of the Week finalists.

Deshaun Watson was part of what is widely regarded as the worst trade in NFL history. When he was named the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns in the preseason, many believed this franchise was destined for the number one overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
However, Watson and the Browns find themselves in unfamiliar territory: leading the AFC North for the first time since November of 2024. The defense has stepped up in a major way in recent weeks, but it has been Watson’s late-game heroics that have spearheaded the charge.
