Amanda Nunes reaffirmed her greatness to the few who doubted her after she lost her bantamweight title to Julianna Peña in December. And though Peña surrendered her belt to Nunes Saturday in the main event of UFC 277 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas she proved she’s one of the toughest fighters ever to set foot in the Octagon. It was an incredible fight, as Nunes went southpaw early and was cracking Peña repeatedly with hard right hands. She went wrestle-heavy in the second half… Source link

A pair of high-profile rematches with championships at stake headline UFC 277 Saturday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. In the main event, Julianna Peña looks to prove her victory over Amanda Nunes at UFC 269 was no fluke when she puts her women’s bantamweight title on the line against the woman who had been considered the greatest of all time. Peña stood in the pocket and traded with Nunes in the second round of her title-winning effort on Dec. 11, and told Yahoo Sports that… Source link

More than a third of Danny Garcia’s 39 professional bouts have been against men who at some point in their career held a world championship (in one case, an interim world title). He’s gone 12-3 in those fights with four knockouts, evidence that this is a guy who wasn’t appreciated enough during his prime. Garcia never got the truly huge fight against either Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao, but his résumé is a road map of the best 140- and 147-pounders of the last decade. He was one… Source link

Google updated the Search Central guidelines for controlling how it displays title tags in search. The update didn’t change the guidance itself, but it did make it substantially more straightforward and removed multiple ambiguities in the wording that made it difficult to understand. Google Changes Title Tags Title tags are meta elements whose purpose is to describe what a web page is about. They are also ranking factors. For that reason, many publishers use the title tag to indicate what… Source link

Andrew Wiggins said Monday that he wishes he didn’t get vaccinated for COVID-19, which allowed him to play full time with the Warriors this season and win a ring. (Elsa/Getty Images) Andrew Wiggins had a phenomenal season in Golden State, one that culminated with him helping the Warriors win their fourth title in eight years. That marked his first NBA title, too. Yet on Monday, Wiggins said he regretted receiving a COVID-19 vaccine at all — which allowed him to play full time with the… Source link

Pete Alonso is a natural at MLB’s Home Run Derby. The New York Mets’ first baseman has won the derby twice in a row and is the favorite at BetMGM to make it a three-peat. He is +155, the shortest odds on the board. No player has ever won three in a row. Ken Griffey Jr., who won in 1994, 1998 and 1999, is the only three-time winner. There are a few reasons Alonso is good at the event. First, he’s a tremendous power hitter. Go figure. He has a repeatable swing that’s perfect for the event…. Source link

Collin Morikawa will return to the British Open this week in a very different position than the one he was in a year ago, when he walked off the course with the Claret Jug in hand. Morikawa officially returned the iconic trophy this week, and was given a replica in return. “It sucked. It really did,” Morikawa said Monday ahead of the 150th British Open. “I woke up this morning and looked at it. The replica is beautiful, but it’s not the same. It really isn’t. It will never be. “But I… Source link

All Hail the hot dog king. Joey Chestnut won his seventh consecutive Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest title and 15th overall with a ridiculous 63 hot dogs and buns eaten in 10 minutes. The next-closest competitor consumed just 43 hot dogs. The 38-year-old Chestnut’s feat was even more impressive after he arrived at Coney Island on crutches. He said he suffered a ruptured tendon earlier in the year but claimed it wouldn’t affected his ability to defend his title. Chestnut’s 15th title surpassed… Source link

From the start of the NFL draft to the end of it, only one division saw the favorite change in the odds at BetMGM. The A.J. Brown trade was a pretty big deal. The Tennessee Titans decided they didn’t want to pay Brown, one of the NFL’s most talented receivers, so they traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles. They used the first-round pick they acquired in the trade to take receiver Treylon Burks, but we don’t know if Burks can be anywhere near as good as Brown, especially as a rookie. That’s why… Source link

The Golden State Warriors celebrated their latest NBA title Monday in San Francisco, and the Bay Area showed out. Last week the Warriors won their fourth title since 2015 with their win over the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. That prompted another championship parade, something Warriors fans have become very good at. So much so, in fact, that one fan showed up with a live goat wearing a Stephen Curry jersey. Looks like the GOAT debate is over. Things got off to a rocky start Monday after Klay… Source link
