The elation that one might have expected to see from Dustin Poirier was absent. He’d hit the MMA lottery by knocking out Conor McGregor on Saturday at UFC 257 in Abu Dhabi, but he didn’t look or act like a guy who’d had that one-in-a-billion winning Powerball ticket. You win the Powerball and you jump and you yell and you cheer and you can’t believe your good fortune. Poirier did none of that. It was like he expected to do what he’d done on one of the most remarkable nights in UFC… Source link

The main slate consists of only three games beginning at 8:00 p.m. EST. A big reason for that is the NFL Conference Championships and it’s going to make these prize pools a lot smaller than usual.

The six teams in action will be the Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards, San Antonio Spurs, New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers. There are plenty of question marks with these teams because… Source link
