Now, first of all, I can’t imagine looking at nearly $50 million (for one year of work!) and being like, “Ya know what? That’s not enough for me.

Saturday’s previously scheduled main event may have been derailed by the littlest piggy, but that doesn’t mean UFC 303 doesn’t still have plenty to offer for fight fans.

OutKick’s Riley Gaines — host of the Gaines For Girls podcast — was on hand for the Independent Women’s Forum: Take Back Title IX Summer 2024 Bus Tour’s stop in Nashville this week, which was hosted by Hot Mic‘s own Jonathan Hutton and Chad Withrow.

Juan Soto has also had an exceptional first season in the Bronx, with the game’s highest on base percentage. Bobby Witt Jr. has delivered in spades after signing a massive contract extension in the offseason. But the real MVP frontrunner, and a player having one of the best seasons we’ve seen in decades, is Baltimore Orioles star Gunnar Henderson.
