Ilia Topuria is one of the most exciting fighters in the Octagon right now.
He claimed the featherweight title with a dominant run, finishing both Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway in impressive fashion.
He continued that form after moving up to 155 pounds, knocking out Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 to claim the lightweight belt on his return to the division.
But he wasn’t always seen as such a destructive force earlier in his career.

FORT LAUDERDALE — The biggest pending free agent for the Florida Panthers this summer is goalie Sergei Bobrovsky whose monster seven-year, $70 million contract signed in 2019 is over.
There were rumors floating around at the NHL Trade Deadline that Bill Zito was trying to move his two-time Stanley Cup champion netminder, and rumors continue to circulate that Bobrovsky and the Panthers are far apart when it comes to a new deal.
Thursday, Zito said he had a “great meeting with Bob yesterday.’’
So, perhaps there is a lot more smoke here than fire.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is back in the World Cup for the first time since 1974, breaking a 52-year drought. But the last time that DR Congo played, back when the country competed as Zaire, a defender’s surprising time-wasting method quickly went down in the tournament’s lore.
After a 2-0 loss to Scotland and a stunning 9-0 loss to Yugoslavia, Zaire ended the group stage with a game against Brazil.
Outside of Chris Olave in 2022, wide receiver is a position that the New Orleans Saints have had more success in later rounds than the first round of the NFL Draft. Michael Thomas (2nd), Marques Colston (7th), Devery Henderson (2nd), Lance Moore (UDFA), and Rashid Shaheed (UDFA) are perfect examples of this. Entering the 2026 NFL Draft, Georgia State Panthers wideout Ted Hurst is one of a few receiver prospects that could be more middle or late round gems.
New Orleans needs more weapons at wide receiver. They’re expected to do so early in the draft.
MADRID (AP) — Novak Djokovic has pulled out of the Madrid Open because of a lingering injury.
The fourth-ranked Djokovic hasn’t competed since the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. He missed the Miami Open because of a right shoulder injury and also skipped the Monte Carlo Masters.
“Madrid, unfortunately I won’t be able to compete at the Madrid Open this year,” he wrote Friday on his social media accounts. “I’m continuing my recovery in order to be back soon. Hasta pronto!”
Djokovic is a three-time champion in Madrid.
After running through a 2026 NFL mock draft that featured the Jacksonville Jaguars trading down in Round 2, how might things turn out on Day 2 if GM James Gladstone is aggressive and looks to trade up?
While trading down may be more likely than trading up, with 11 picks available and Gladstone’s willingness to navigate the draft board, I’m not sure we can completely rule anything out.
