The
Ultimate Fighting Championship‘s latest offering at the Apex
isn’t much to look at at first glance, but fans who choose to tune
in might get an early look at some of tomorrow’s stars.

UFC Vegas 114 goes down Saturday at the Meta Apex with a
14-fight draw that, to be blunt, is nearly devoid of star power.

A familiar face from the Detroit Lions defensive front could soon land with an NFC contender.
According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, veteran defensive lineman Al-Quadin Muhammad is visiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, potentially setting the stage for the former Lions EDGE rusher to sign with Detroit’s conference rival.
Pelissero reported the visit Thursday, noting that Muhammad is drawing interest as teams continue to evaluate pass-rushing depth during the offseason.

“Perfectionist” Viljami Sinisalo isn’t satisfied despite an impressive run in the Celtic starting line-up.
The Finland goalkeeper, afforded an opportunity by an illness to Kasper Schmeichel, has impressed in helping Martin O’Neill’s side emerge unbeaten from a treacherous four-game away run in three competitions.
Sinisalo came in for the 1-0 victory in Stuttgart as Celtic won on German soil for the first time, followed by victory over Aberdeen, a league draw at Ibrox and Scottish Cup shootout win over Rangers.
But the 24-year-old feels he has more to give.

The new Daniel Jones contract is impressive. Impressive enough to make a major impression on other quarterbacks who had existing deals.
Two are worth mentioning for now: Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold and Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Darnold, who (like Jones) left Minnesota in free agency a year ago, signed in 2025 a three-year, $33.5 million per year deal with the Seahawks. He’s due to make $27.5 million in 2026 and $35.5 million in 2027.
Jones, meanwhile, will make $44 million over the next two years, with up to $12 million in incentives.
