It was a tough night for the challengers at UFC 276, because no one was able to force a belt to change hands on Saturday’s card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In the main event, Jared Cannonier (15-6 MMA, 8-6 UFC) struggled to find any meaningful offense against Israel Adesanya (23-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC), lost a unanimous decision and was unable to fulfill his goal of claiming the middleweight championship. The co-headliner, meanwhile, saw Max Holloway (23-7 MMA, 19-7 UFC) fall to 0-3 in his… Source link

LAS VEGAS — Jared Cannonier mostly kept his hands to himself on Saturday in the main event of UFC 276 in his middleweight title fight against Israel Adesanya at T-Mobile Arena.

Jared Goff led the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl in 2019. Now, two years later, the former No. 1 overall pick is out of Los Angeles. Coach Sean McVay is moving on — but he’s not doing so without any of the blame. “When you look back at the four years that we did have together, there’s a lot of times you can smile on,” McVay said, via the NFL Network. “And I would say there’s a lot of things that when I self-reflect, I certainly wish I was better for him in some instances …… Source link

For weeks, the deeply flawed crown jewels of the 2016 NFL draft’s quarterbacks class presented the league with a pressing question about resolving a massive error. As the Philadelphia Eagles pondered the future of Carson Wentz and the Los Angeles Rams considered swapping out Jared Goff, onlooking NFL teams were mulling an issue that overarched both franchises.
