Dawson faces Ismagulov on Saturday at UFC Vegas 76. It’s a pick ’em fight, with both at -110, but Kevin Iole thinks Dawson’s submissions will be the difference.

While Mike Krzyzewski no longer roams the sidelines of Cameron Indoor Stadium, the longtime Duke coach is abreast of the changes that have taken place in college basketball and the sport’s current state within the NCAA.
Krzyzewski, who spent 42 years at Duke, recently came out of retirement in May to serve as the NBA’s special advisor to basketball operations. In a Q&A with The Charlotte Observer, the former Duke coach explained why college basketball should be organized and managed “like a business” going forward to keep the game relevant.
The Connor Bedard era is nearing. After the phenom is likely selected by the Blackhawks at No. 1, here’s how the rest of the draft may play out.
If the New York Mets decide to sell this season, Max Scherzer could potentially be on the move.
It’s no secret that the Mets have been baseball’s most disappointing team. Owner Steve Cohen went all in before the season, committing to the highest payroll in Major League Baseball history.
And boy has it backfired.
The season got off to an ominous start when star closer Edwin Diaz went down with a fluke injury during the World Baseball Classic.
It’s been pretty much downhill ever since.
Justin Verlander’s missed time with injuries, Pete Alonso has spent time on the injured list.
The Yankees have been sputtering since Aaron Judge went down with a toe injury early this month. One player helping to keep things from going completely off the rails is rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe—and he’s doing so with a little help from an Italian-American classic.
Volpe, MLB.com’s No. 5 prospect in baseball before this season, has struggled at the plate halfway through his first season in the majors, posting an underwhelming .203/.282/.368 slash line. But he’s turned things around of late, thanks in part to a realization he had during a get-together with some old teammates.
As OutKick previously reported, ESPN is giving its Arthur Ashe Courage Award to the US Women’s National Team during next month’s ESPY Awards. ESPN chose the USWNT over former NFL running back Peyton Hillis.
According to an ESPN release, the award goes to a “member or group in the sporting world who makes a difference far beyond the field of play, impacting the world in indelible ways.”
There are plenty of reasons why this is a terrible decision, which I laid out in an earlier story.
In the history of the NFL, few tight ends have put up a résumé as impressive as Chiefs star Travis Kelce. But despite all the accolades and championships he’s amassed, the 33-year-old does not make the same money that some of his contemporaries do.
That notion of being “underpaid” is something Kelce admitted lingers in his mind. Ultimately, though, he wouldn’t want to be anywhere other than Kansas City.
Hulu’s hit show The Bear released its second season last week and the drama is nothing short of a cultural moment. The show, starring Jeremy Allen White as Carmy Berzatto, centers around a talented chef who is trying to make his restaurant that bears the same name as the show a success. The show has nothing to do with the sports world—until one character is given a gift.
A somewhat random storyline surrounding former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski begins to play a major role when Sydney, played by Ayo Edebiri, is gifted his book, Leading With Heart, by her father.
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst inadvertently created quite the stir earlier this week when he called into local Cleveland sports talk radio and said that there was some “outlandish” stuff that the Cavaliers were looking into this offseason to improve their roster.
Naturally, the internet took it and ran with it. It somehow got twisted into rumors that Cleveland was looking into trading either of its star guards, Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell.
Windhorst called back into ESPN Cleveland to clarify his remarks from earlier this week.
Professional athletes, including NFL players, smoke weed and use cannabis. That’s just a fact, and nothing about said fact is surprising. What may be a bit of a shock is just how many players around the league indulge in the devil’s lettuce, which Travis Kelce estimates up to 80% of them take part.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end hit a bit of a speed bump involving cannabis during his college days at Cincinnati when he was suspended for using the drug. Now, entering his 10th year in the NFL, he’s seen some things, including how players who do use cannabis consistently pass drug tests.
