MAI seeN CARD RESULTS | UFC 302: MAKHACHEV VS POIRIER

-



There was a tension in the air as the main card got underway at Prudential Center, a restlessness in the crowd after a decision-heavy preliminary card slate left the masses longing for violent action.

While a number of the contests still went the distance, the tempo, output, and intensity of the contests was clearly ramped up.

Everything built to the lightweight championship main event, where fan favorite Dustin Poirier looked to “finish his story” by claiming the undisputed title and champion Islam Makhachev aimed to continue his march to all-time great status by taking out another luminary.


Morono came out looking sharp and crisp, throwing and landing with crispness as Price looked to warm into the fight. As the minutes added up, Price started to have more success and Morono began to fade, with the competitive fight turning into a one-sided tussle by the time the final horn sounded.


For the eighth time in nine fights, the judges were called upon to render a verdict, and all three had the fight the same way, awarding Price the unanimous decision win. The victory snapped a two-fight skid for “The Hybrid,” who picked up his first win since defeating Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira in October 2021.

   INDIANAPOLIS – After the Indiana Fever’s 71-70 win over the Chicago Sky, the topic of discussion is the altercation between Sky guard Chennedy Carter and Fever guard Caitlin Clark at the end of the third quarter.  Carter made a jump shot with 15.8 seconds left in the quarter, then prepared to guard Clark, who was set to receive the inbounds pass. Before the ball was thrown into play, Carter lodged her right forearm into Clark’s back, sending Clark to the floor. The play was ruled an away-from-the-play foul due to it happening before the inbound, but it wasn’t upgraded to a flagrant or technical foul. Clark made the free throw to give Indiana a five-point lead heading into the final period. The full exchange began nearly 20 seconds earlier when Clark appeared to say something to Carter after the Fever recovered a loose ball and scored on offense. Carter came down and got the bucket before knocking Clark over. When initially asked about the interaction in postgame media...

Nigerian footballers will have to learn the words to the new anthem Some Nigerians have expressed outrage after the country's national anthem was changed with little consultation. President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday signed into law the bill to revert to Nigeria’s old national anthem which was dropped by a military government in 1978. The newly re-adopted anthem, which begins "Nigeria, We Hail Thee," was written by Lillian Jean Williams in 1959 and composed by Frances Berda. Speaking on his first anniversary in office, President Tinubu said the anthem symbolised Nigeria's diversity. But many have questioned his priorities amid the cost-of-living crisis. Reacting online, some Nigerians said the country had more pressing problems such as insecurity, rising inflation and a foreign exchange crisis. X user @Gospel_rxx posted: “A new na...

  Israel has continued its assault on Rafah, ignoring a draft resolution to the UN Security Council to “stop the killing” in the city in southern Gaza. New air attacks were reported across the southernmost city on Wednesday morning, hours after witnesses and a Palestinian security source said Israeli tanks had penetrated the heart of Rafah. People are currently inside their homes because anyone who moves is being shot at by Israeli drones,” resident Abdel Khatib said. Israeli air strikes targeted various parts of the city, including the vicinity of the Badr camp and the Zourob roundabout west of the city, according to Palestinian news agency Shehab. A complete shutdown of telecommunications and internet services throughout Rafah is also reported.
