Welcome to The Weekly Takedown, Sports Illustrated’s in-depth look at MMA. Every week, this column offers insight and information on the most noteworthy stories in the fight world.
Anthony Smith will return to the cage Saturday for his fight since July, matching up against Johnny Walker in a bout that serves as the co-main event of the UFC on ABC card.
With all due respect to Walker, who has won his last two fights, life has placed far different opponents in front of Smith.
Smith’s life has been chaotic since he defeated Ryan Spann in September 2021.
Kenley Jansen was thrilled to have reached such a milestone while pitching against the Braves, the team he rooted for as a kid.
If you saw the NFL’s announcement that the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs would open the 2023 season on Thursday night and thought to yourself, ‘this must be a fake account,’ you weren’t alone.
Nope — it’s not #fakenews on Elon’s lawless Twitter app. It wasn’t a typo from the league office. Roger Goodell is currently NOT being held hostage — as far as I know.
The NFL schedule-makers really did look at all the possibilities, all the teams the Chiefs could have opened with, and said the Detroit Lions would be the best bet. The biggest draw. The money-maker.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been no stranger to waiting his turn since entering the NFL.
The former first-round pick was always perceived as the future starter for the Packers. That is until former franchise signal-caller Aaron Rodgers signed a contract extension last offseason that made him the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history.
That moment, where Rodgers appeared to be destined to stay in Green Bay until the end of his career, was the toughest moment for Love as he waited his turn.
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I don’t think it’s out of the question that we’ll see multiple Game 7’s in the NBA this weekend.

The Lakers couldn’t close them out
The NBA’s defending champions aren’t done yet.
After his team’s Game 4 loss against the Lakers, Warriors coach Steve Kerr openly called out Los Angeles for flopping, saying, “I give the Lakers credit for the plays they’ve been able to sell.” The comment has caused some stir amid the Western Conference semifinals and LeBron James addressed them bluntly Wednesday night.
“We’re just not a team that goes out there looking for flopping opportunities,” he said after his team’s 121–106 loss in Game 5. “It’s just not us. It’s never been.

Typically, a 3-1 lead is insurmountable. But crazier things have happened.
Warriors handle business at home, 121-106, force Game 6 vs. Lakers
Elimination is a daunting beast. Unless you have Steph Curry. He dropped 27 points and eight assists on Wednesday to lead all scorers and help Golden State stay alive. Facing a 3-1 deficit, he and Andrew Wiggins (25 points, seven rebounds, and five assists) secured another shot to stave off an early exit for the defending champions.
Jimbo Fisher was preaching to Texas A&M fans on Wednesday night in Fort Worth, Texas. Not only was he trying to give Aggie fans something to be hopeful about regarding the upcoming season, Fisher also decided to take a subtle shot at TCU.
Speaking in front of the Fort Worth Aggies club, the Texas A&M head coach was trying to bring positive vibes to a fan base that has been put through the ringer over the last year. Not only did the Aggies struggle in 2022, but they looked lethargic at times.
Ezekiel Elliott still has plenty left in the tank to be a productive running back in the NFL. Whether or not that translates into being a true No. 1 running back for a new team is up for debate, one that the former Dallas Cowboys’ rusher seems to be struggling with.
Elliott is still a free agent with the start of mini-camps right around the corner and one of his former coaches suggests that it’s partly due to the running back’s desire to be the top dog on the roster.
Ezekiel Elliott is still looking for a new team.
