How to watch？

（1）How to watch the Kerwin Frost Telethon Supershow live from anywhere

The very first annual Kerwin Frost Telethon Supershow takes place this weekend live from Los Angeles on a screen near you. Full of music performances, appearances by pop culture influencers, and even a live celebrity auction, the 12-hour event is dedicated to fundraising for the Know Your Rights Camp. Kerwin Frost is aiming to raise $5 million dollars during the benefit which will go towards the liberation and well-being of black and brown communities in several ways, including through youth daycamps, a legal defense fund, and also a pandemic relief fund. Among the performers and guest stars include Anderson.Paak, Asap Ferg, A-trak, Beck, DMC (of Run DMC), Jaden Smith, Kehlani, Lil Nas X, Lil Yachty, Mac Demarco, Major Lazer, Miguel, Yo Gabba Gabba, and more.

The first annual Kerwin Frost Telethon Supershow is being broadcast live via YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok Live, which means you have a variety of options to watch the benefit this Sunday via either on your phone, your smart TV, your tablet, or your computer. You can find direct links to watch on these platforms via the Kerwin Frost Telethon Supershow website once the show begins. Then again, if you're having trouble watching the benefit, you may need to look into a VPN service. Certain sites can be blocked due to your location but a VPN lets you change your location virtually so you can access more content like the Kerwin Frost Telethon Supershow. Our favorite is ExpressVPN, but there are plenty of cheap VPN services to choose from.

（2）How to Watch the NBA Restart Online

After COVID-19 cut basketball — and everything else — short, the NBA has been working on a way to finish out season the season safely. Tonight is the debut of NBA Restart, which will let the top 22 teams in the league finish out the regular season and send 16 of them into this year's playoffs. Each game will be held in an NBA bubble, meaning the teams will play with no fans in the arenas and players will be regularly tested before and between games. Tonight's tipoffs include the Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans at 6:30/5:30c followed by the Los Angeles Lakers playing the LA Clippers at 9/8c. If you're quarantined in a home with cable you can catch the games on TNT, ESPN, ABC and NBA TV, all of which will be broadcasting nearly 50 games over the course of the next three weeks as the league finishes out regular season.

（3）How to watch the Tour de Pologne 2020 live stream online

Coming hot on the heels of last Saturday's Strade Bianche in Italy, the return of top class cycling from the coronavirus hiatus continues with the 77th edition of this iconic race across Poland. Read on for full details on how to get a live stream of the Tour de Pologne 2020 with our guide below. The riders took off from the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów on Wednesday, with the five-stage event set to be concluded on Sunday in Kraków. All 19 UCI WorldTour teams have fielded a squad for this week's race, which covers a gruelling total distance of 911.4km, with the event featuring ProSeries wild cards and Polish national team riders.

（4）How to watch the UEFA Champions League soccer tournament on CBS All Access

CBS will broadcast every UEFA Champions League match on the CBS All Access streaming service. You can sign up for a month-long free trial of the app here. CBS All Access costs $5.99 a month with limited commercials, or $9.99 a month for the commercial free plan. With that said, the commercial free plan still includes ads during live broadcasts. In addition to CBS All Access, three of the remaining four round of 16 games will also be broadcast on the CBS Sports Network. After that, games stretching from the quarter finals through the final are expected to be exclusive to CBS All Access.If you have a supported cable or satellite package, you can watch CBS Sports Network's selection of games on TV. CBS Sports Network is also available through select live TV streaming services, including FuboTV and Hulu+ Live TV. You can access all of these services on most mobile devices, media players, and connected TVs, including Amazon Fire TV, Apple, Android, Chromecast, PS4, Xbox One, Roku, Samsung smart TVs, and more. The UEFA Champions League restart begins August 7 at 3 p.m. ET with Juventus vs. Lyon and Manchester City vs. Real Madrid. You can view a schedule of upcoming games here. Since CBS also has the rights for next year's season, it's likely that future Champions League games will also be streamed through CBS All Access. The group stages of the 2020-21 Champions League will begin on October 20.

（5）How to watch UFC 252: Heavyweight legend Daniel Cormier says this title match will be his last

UFC heavyweight titans Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier will face off in their third championship match during the main event of UFC 252, streaming live from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on August 15. Cormier knocked out Miocic in the first round of their first meeting to claim the heavyweight title at UFC 226 in 2018, but Miocic returned the favor with a fourth round knockout to reclaim the title at UFC 241 in August 2019. The grizzly fight left Miocic's eye in need of surgery after the match, keeping him out of the octagon for a full year.Cormier, now 41-years-old, has said the UFC 252 main event against Miocic will be the last fight of his career. The UFC legend enters UFC 252 with a career record of 22-2 in the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, with his only losses coming to Miocic and Jon Jones android tv box. Cormier has spent lots of time in the commentary booth for several UFC events through the past year and will likely return to that role after UFC 252.UFC fan favorite Sean O'Malley will fight Marlon Vera in a co-main event match. The fight was originally scheduled for UFC 239 but O'Malley was suspended for six months by the USADA in 2018 after two positive tests for a banned substance. After serving the suspension, O'Malley has scored knockouts and performance of the night honors in both of his fights. Vera lost his last fight against Song Yadong in a five round decision.UFC 252 will begin with early prelims at 7 p.m. ET, while the main card is scheduled to start at 10 p.m. ET. The main event will be available on the ESPN+ streaming service, but will require an additional pay-per-view fee of $64.99 along with the cost of an ESPN+ subscription. Fans will not be in attendance for UFC 252 or any of the other events due to the coronavirus pandemic. UFC has implemented at least 18 different safety precautions for staff, including advanced medical screenings, temperature checks, and social distancing guidelines.

A long day of work with the reward of watching UFC Fight Night for the 25th Anniversary. Wish I could be there in person, but I'm sure my time will come again. UFC 226 live in Vegas was a great experience. Tonight though, it is a peaceful night at home. To helps relax, having a Gurkha Beauty with Knob Creek Rye. I don't even know how many Gurkha Cigars that I had in My life, but I know that this is the first time that I'm having a Beauty by Gurkha. And I really enjoy my Rye Whiskey and Knob Creek does one that really does tickle my tastebuds. Soon, will be doing more diagnostics and PC Repairs and try and go live again soon. Really want to finish off this Leisure Suit Larry Marathon. Tonight, it is all about my cigars, whiskey, and glorious UFC Fights tonight. All I need now is beautiful woman, sitting on my lap, also smoking a cigar, and blowing it in my face. https://www.twitch.tv/mrkilleverything https://www.youtube.com/user/mrkilleverything #UFC #ufcfightnight #ufc25years #cigars #cigarsandwhiskey #knobcreek #knobcreekrye #gurkha #gurkhacigars #gurkhabeauty #LeisureSuitLarry #LeisureSuitKilleverything #MrKilleverything #aGamerAndHisDrink https://www.instagram.com/p/BqBcMqYnObc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hlo7fzm7aq

The 2018 UFC Calendar That Remains And One Man’s Stupid Attempt To Book It

Joey

July 23rd

Before we begin, I began this project the day before the UFC's debut in Boise. I figured all things considered it would take me about a week give or take to flesh this whole thing out. It took me a week JUST to get through October. I got to the Denver show on Friday and that was when the UFC dropped all sorts of news about Edgar/Korean Zombie and Mike Perry/Donald Cerrone co-headlining said show. I haven't edited it. I'm not going to edit it. IF ANYTHING, I think not touching what I did before Friday is an important piece of the puzzle. Nothing really puts this project into perspective like having to look at what you did and then something immediately changing that renders it moot. Everything AFTER the UFC in Denver was done pretty much on Sunday night.

The UFC released their schedule this week for the rest of the year. There's a lot of fights upcoming, perhaps more than you can shake a stick at. You're talking 14 events, 7 in the US, 1 in Russia, 1 in China, 2 in South America (Brazil and probably Argentina), 2 in Canada and 1 in the always cool Australia. If you give the UFC it's usual average of 12 fights a show then you're looking at probably 168 fights across the course of four months. We've got 3 in September, 2 in October, 5 in November and 4 in December which is about close-ish to what we got last year. Of course two of those cards are on Fight Pass, one is on Big Fox, five are on PPV and unless I'm mistaken the remaining 6 are on FS1. I did this in the beginning of the year (foolishly I might add) but now with the year coming to a close, I might as well take one final swing at it am I right? Here's my belief on what we're going to get from the UFC to close out 2018 from show to show and as Brock Lesnar once lovingly said "From sea to shining sea!"

September 8th

Dallas, Texas

UFC 228

Main Event: Tyron Woodley vs Colby Covington

Co-Main Event: Valentina Shevchenko vs Nicco Montano

There's really nothing immediately on the docket to feel comfortable about as a headliner. A natural-ish fit would be Ortega vs Holloway in a rebooking but Holloway's return to action is unknown. Jeremy Stephens, if he beats Aldo of course, could fight Edgar or Ortega for an interim title fight here if need be. Frankie is apparently a week away from being able to train again so an early July to early September set up is plenty of time for a dude who is well known for his ability to be ready regardless of the circumstances. Already announced we have Zhabit/Yair and Jon Dodson vs Jimmie Rivera plus it seems pretty likely that Montano vs Shevchenko is getting announced soon-ish. That's not a main event and shouldn't be confused as such BUT it could be a respectable #2 on the bill.

September 15th

Moscow, Russia

UFC Fight Night

Main Event: Mark Hunt vs Aleksei Olynik

Co-Main Event: Shamil Abdurakhimov vs Andrei Arlovski

Consider this a mild, tepid dipping of the toe into the Russian fight market. The UFC's first event in Russia is a Fight Pass card; not even cracking the likes of FS1 or a PPV setting. While China got Anderson Silva and Kelvin Gastelum, Russia was getting Fabricio Werdum and Alexey Oleynik. That's still a fine main event but clearly not on the same level as the perceived GOAT and the top MW prospect in the division. That fight got USADA'd and in its place, we got Hunt vs Oleynik which is totally fine. A co-main event of Curtis Blaydes vs Alexander Volkov fell apart with Blaydes being hurt and Volkov opting to get paid to weigh in as a UFC 226 replacement. The UFC cut prices before the event to, in so many words, allow for poor people to get into the event and seats apparently are going to be at your standard UFC Fight Pass levels where they open up the bowl sections and ground floor only. There's been some rumors of the likes of Islam Makachev, Jorge Masvidal, Jimi Manuwa, Petr Yan, Nikita Krylov and Mairbek Taisumov (!) all getting a chance to fight but I'm betting when all's said and done, we're looking at Arlovski and Abdurakhimov being our co-main event of the evening. Or morning depending on where you are.

September 22nd

Sao Paolo, Brazil

UFC Fight Night

Main Event: John Lineker vs Raphael Assuncao

Co-Main Event: Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira vs Neil Magny

The UFC's brazilian ranks are being casually wiped out be it due to injuries, ineffectiveness, fighters leaving or retiring. The last show of the year from Brazil needs A GUY but finding A GUY who can headline is sort of tough in this market. The one thing I hold steadfast is the possibility that they could actually try giving a female fighter a chance to headline (Gadelha vs Calderwood at 125 lbs was something I thought of). I even figured Demian Maia is always like a phone call away as well but I can't think of a guy I'm excited to see him fight (or just a guy for him to fight at all). Gimme Lineker vs Assuncao in a true #1 contender fight since Marlon Moraes' two amazing highlight reel KOs probably vaults him about Raphael even with the loss. Also keep an eye on Formiga vs Pettis here as well since it's a natural "no shit" #1 contender fight at flyweight.

October 6th

Las Vegas, Nevada

UFC 229

Main Event: Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov

Co-Main Event: Holly Holm vs Ketlein Vieira

We've already got the unofficial official announcements of Sean O'Malley and Frankie Edgar/Korean Zombie for Vegas. One of the rumors going around is that the UFC plans on doing something, likely an interim placeholder title, for Holm vs Vieira. If so, you should absolutely do it on THIS card because the only way you're going to get folks excited about that fight is if it's got a McGregor-esque support attached to it. Conor vs Khabib will probably happen this year, if not in October then I'd bet in MSG. Conor vs Khabib IMO is a serious test of what is or isn't a big buyrate these days. The last BIG fight we had was Gennady-Canelo which did (IMO) a somewhat surprisingly meh 1.2 million----and this should beat that and comfortably. If it doesn't then we've got shit to talk about. Conor/Khabib, Holm/Vieira, Edgar/Zombie, O'Malley plus Darren Till (who apparently is a lock for this card) seems like a damn good top 5 to me.

October 27th

Moncton, Canada

Fight Night on FS1

Main Event: Rafael Dos Anjos vs Kamaru Usman

Co-Main Event: Ilir Latifi vs the winner of Glover Teix/Corey Anderson

I don't know what necessarily is in Moncton but the UFC tries in theory to go to new markets and bring special cards. The problem is they always tend to get picked apart due to injuries. As for this card? Well there were rumors that Usman vs RDA was the next fight to make in the Fall sometime and this seems like a fine enough time for it. Usman could also be a sleeper for the 170 lb title picture if there's an injury or whatever. As for the co-main? By all accounts Ilir is expected to be back in the middle of the Fall and so I'm betting this could be a good enough time. Latifi vs the winner of Glover/Corey Anderson isn't a perfect fight but there are worse fights to be co-main events. If anything it's a relevant fight at a division that's still trying to figure out what relevant is. Throw in PVZ vs Rachael Ostovich (come on now it HAS to happen) and Elias Theodorou for good measure for main card related purposes.

November 3rd

New York, New York

UFC 230

Main Event: Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier

Co-Main Event: Brian Ortega vs the Jeremy Stephens/Jose Aldo winner or Max Holloway Third title fight: Cody Garbrandt/TJ Dillashaw winner vs Marlon Moraes Yoel Romero vs Ovince St. Preux Chris Weidman vs Paolo Costa

I'm betting that we're going to get the Jon Jones news any day now of a one year suspension redacted to July. If so, I'm betting the UFC puts Jones vs DC together with Cormier knowing that win or lose, the Brock fight awaits. DC seems really open to fighting at 205 lbs in the interim while he waits for Brock so I'm guessing/betting that if it's not Jones then it's a Shogun or a Gus here in this spot. The co-main event is a little more....prickly. Until I hear something about Max Holloway, I'm going to continue to believe that the rumors about him suffering something traumatic during his weight cut are true enough for me to not think we see him again this year. That means Ortega's going to have to fight somebody for the belt and if so, the winner of Stephens/Aldo lines up pretty damn well time wise. If Stephens knocks off Aldo then he'll have earned this shot no questions asked. The third title fight (because MSG tradition says three) was a toss up between Mighty Mouse coming back, the rumored Nunes/Cyborg fight or the TJ/Cody winner. Marlon Moraes is coming off of TWO 1st round finishes of the highest order and I think that puts him above Assuncao who has a better overall resume (and the win tie breaker) but no flashy "This is my title shot" moment. Moraes has that. As for the rest of the main card? Yoel Romero vs Gus seems like THE perfect fight to make but Gustafsson is seemingly not up for a Romero clash. That could in turn open the door for Romero vs OSP since they seem to gel up timeline wise (Romero had surgery, OSP has a family matter he's dealing with). Chris Weidman vs Paolo Costa is a rumored fight the UFC wants to put together for MSG and I'd be totally okay with that fight for both guys. Throw in some "names" on the undercard and this card could/should be the 2nd biggest show of the year. If Jones vs DC III with two title fights doesn't get people excited then I'm not sure what else there is to offer y'all.

November 10th

Denver, Colorado

25th Anniversary Fight Night

Main Event: Tony Ferguson vs Dustin Poirier/Eddie Alvarez loser

Co-Main Event: Donald Cerrone vs Mike Perry (at 170)/Kevin Lee (at 155)

The UFC has built a whole marketing promotion for this one so this show might get a big damn deal. Tony Ferguson vs the loser of Poirier/Alvarez seems like a natural-ish fit for this card given that Ferguson is expected to be back by the end of 2018. Ferguson isn't getting the Khabib/Conor winner and I get the feeling that if Poirier wins, he's getting the title shot. This is a damn important stay busy fight at lightweight for both guys. As for Cerrone vs Perry? Donald Cerrone is a big deal in Colorado and if he stays at WW, this is a damn good fight for him. Otherwise? I like Cerrone vs Kevin Lee as a fight if Cerrone TRULY wants to try 155 lbs again. He shouldn't but if he does? Good fit for me. I like this fight a bunch. Throw in Sage Northcutt (!!!!!!!), Chad Mendes vs Mirsad Bektic, Do Bronz Oliveira vs David Teymur, Cat Zingano vs Rocky Pennington and the Rivera/Dodson winner vs Alejandro Perez and we're off to the races!

November 17th

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Fight Night

Main Event: Santiago Ponzinibbio vs Leon Edwards

Co-Main EVent: Dominick Reyes vs Jan Blachowicz

Take two! The UFC heads into Argentina (after flirting with a November 2017/Feb 2018 visit) and with Ponz healthy and ready to go, I'd imagine Argentina is about to experience a Ponzi Scheme. Ya like that? I like it. Ponzinnibio vs Edwards feels like a great piece of matchmaking given their respective winning streaks and the fact that Till, Covington and Usman have all leapfrogged them in the division. Good easy work here. The co-main is more about finding out what Dominick Reyes CAN'T do at this point. I've seen him steamroll dudes with enough ease to get a little curious/froggy as to what necessarily else he's got for us. I am, dare I say, intrigued. Jan has proven himself again after an up and down UFC run. The time is now and it'll never be more ready than now for thesetwo. Blachowicz might even be overqualified for the job but who cares? There's plenty of fun developing Latin American talent to find a spot for on this show, like Julio Arce, Moggly Benitez, Vicente Luque (Brazilian with Chilean roots), the eternally underrated Enrique Barzola and some of the other fine Latin American fighters in the UFC and trying to get into the UFC.

November 24th

Shanghai, China

UFC Fight Night (likely on Fight Pass)

Main Event: Francis Ngannou vs Marcin Tybura

Co-Main Event: Walt Harris vs the Arlovski/Shamil Adburahkhimov winner

Would the UFC try to run back Anderson Silva in China? I'm not sure they wouldn't consider it. As more and more decent Chinese fighters start to filter into the UFC, the Chinese market seems to actually be on the verge of finally breaking through. If there's one thing the UFC is frequently "good" at; it's sending big dudes to foreign markets to try and appeal to casual audiences with size. With the likes of Song Yadong, Li Jingliang, Guan Wang, Kenan Song and some of the Chinese female mixed martial artists at the ready; the undercard should be loaded up with local-ish talent who can be relied upon for undercard support. With that being laid down? Go big at the top. I can't think of a more direct message to send to Francis Ngannou than to put him on a Fight Pass event while still getting max value out of him with a big main event for an international crowd. Ngannou vs Tybura is a fine test for Francis and it trumps a rumored JDS fight which doesn't make a whole bunch of sense given that JDS is coming off his first win in forever while Ngannou has dropped two in a row. Throw in a Yushin Okami fight as well just to confirm you hate your audience. We all know you do! Also would be totally down for Li Jingliang vs Chad Laprise or someone of that ilk.

November 30th

Las Vegas, Nevada

TUF Finale

Main Event: Derrick Lewis vs Justin Willis

Co-Main Event: One of the TUF Finales (below that though and another TUF finale, Brad Tavares vs Thiago Marreta)

If big dudes throwing punches isn't your thing then November might be a rough month for y'all. I ALMOST went with JDS here but I'll pass on that one to be honest. Lewis vs Justin Willis is a good test for Willis and with a lengthy stretch of time off, the Black Beast can maybe get his back right. Wouldn't be opposed to Mark Hunt vs Lewis II either. This is the last TUF of all time and it features HWs so might as well give them a HW fight too.

December 1st

Adelaide, Australia

Fight Night

Main Event: Israel Adesanya vs Derek Brunson

Co-Main Event: Alexander Volkanovski vs Josh Emmett

The Australian/Kiwi/NZ fighter's revolution is still off and popping. Right on time too as the UFC is heading to Australia in December with dudes like Tai Tuavasa, Dan Hooker, Alexander Volkanovski, Jessica Rose Clark and Israel Adesanya at the top of the run. RIGHT off the jump we've got a problem as Yoel Romero and Luke Rockhold are out of the division, Weidman and Costa are matched up, Jacare and Brunson are matched up and you've got Gastelum waiting on Whittaker. That in turn leads us to Adesanya vs Derek Brunson win or lose vs Shoeface. At this point I feel like Adesanya has been sped up so fast that it's basically a lock that he'll take on a Brunson type next. That brings us to the co-main where it's time for Volkanovski to get a bigger name. Dude's earned this shot. Volkanovski vs Emmett makes sense or even Volkanovski vs Lamas, Bektic or any of THOSE guys would be damn cool. Throw in Tai Tuavasa vs a fun punching bag and you've got one hell of a top three and Tyson Pedro vs Devin Clark too.

December 8th

Toronto, Canada

UFC 231

Main Event: Rose Namajunas vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz/Jessica Andrade winner

Co-Main Event: Junior Dos Santos vs Mark Hunt 2 Anderson Silva vs Uriah Hall Stephen Thompson vs Gunnar Nelson Jordan Mein vs Michael Chiesa

The UFC is going to try and give Toronto something special. This SEEMED on paper like the perfect spot to roll out the Whittaker vs Gaselum title fight but Rob is out into February. An interim fight here doesn't make much sense I guess. The best option is probably the most likely option and that's going to be a 115 lb title fight at the top of the bill. In the mean time and in between time, I'm a big fan of the idea of giving the strawweight division EVERY chance to succeed. Maybe a 115 lb title fight won't draw a major crowd on its own but JDS vs Mark Hunt 2 and Anderson Silva (!) makes for a damn fine balance of options across the board for a main card. Throw in two good WW fights plus every Canadian under the sun in the prelim spots and I think we're good to go here!

December 15th

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

UFC on Fox

Main Event: Alexander Gustafsson vs Luke Rockhold

Co-Main Event: Anthony Pettis vs Al Iaquinta

Outside of just popping a number for old time's sake, the UFC really has no incentive to do anything "big" here. It's a finale for Fox, one last chance for them and the UFC to put on a good show before Fox goes into bed with pro bowling and the UFC moves on to ESPN. The main event is a fine enough rebooking as Rockhold's debut at 205 vs Alexander Gustafsson still SEEMS like a pretty great idea. It's not a Milwaukee showcase without Anthony Pettis as the dude looks to continue his career rebuild at 155 lbs. I'm not entirely all in on yet on his return BUT I'm loving the idea of it. I ALMOST went with Mighty Mouse here vs Sergio Pettis as the main event but I don't know if that fight happens on Fox since there's really no major incentive for it to be on Fox. Throw in Mackenzie Dern vs Jessica Aguilar in a showcase fight/test for Dern and Edson Barboza vs David Teymur and we should be fine enough to go here.

December 29th

Las Vegas, Nevada

UFC 229

Main Event: Amanda Nunes vs Cris Cyborg

Co-Main Event: TJ/Cody loser vs Dominick Cruz

Carlos Condit vs Robbie Lawler Cynthia Calvillo vs Michelle Waterson Khalil Rountree vs Jimi Manuwa

And so we might as well end the year hot. With the final show in Vegas, it sure seems like some form of Nunes vs Cyborg is happening. In truth it's the biggest fight that WMMA can conjure up currently so I have no issue with that. Beyond that though? I think no fight is going to sell like that one will so you might as well support the undercard for thee last remaining WMMA anti-fans. Don't want to see Nunes vs Cyborg? Well how about a rematch of the best WW fight ever @ your mom about it? Lawler should be back by then and Condit has already said he wants one more go of it at 170 lbs. If ANY fight is going to get people up for one last final run, it's that one. TJ or Cody vs Dom Cruz buys us some time for Assuncao and company to maybe get a title fight in the interim. That and TJ vs Cruz 2 still has some high upside appeal to me. Calvillo vs Waterson may not appeal to everybody but Waterson is usually in a fun fight and I'm still high up on Calvillo's upside. Khalil Rountree probably fights four times between now and this show but I really think Rountree vs Manuwa can be a bonkers striking battle. Throw in Zhabit Magomedsharipov, Claudia Gadelha vs Felice Herrig, some combination of DWTCS guys, a HW fight of a high caliber and plenty of fake rumors about a second title fight and we're off to the races!

8.17.19 "UFC 241" Stipe Miocic defeated Daniel Cormier in the UFC 241 main event Saturday night to again become the heavyweight champion. For several rounds it seemed like Miocic might lose his second consecutive fight against Cormier, the defending heavyweight champ. Cormier beat him at UFC 226 in July 2018, knocking him out in the first round.

Cormier, 40, the first and only UFC fighter to defend titles in two weight classes, has hinted that Saturday's fight could be his last.

"Everybody asks about [retirement], but that's what happens when you turn 40," Cormier told CNN on Thursday. "I feel great. I wanna get through this weekend, and then I'll sit with my family, and we'll figure out what's going on. It's a real thing, though. Father time catches up to everybody."

UFC 241 betting lines and Saturday fight trends

Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports

Daniel Cormier defends the Heavyweight Championship against Stipe Miocic at UFC 241 as the betting favorite on the UFC odds for the weekend.

Daniel Cormier became just the fourth fighter in UFC history to hold two UFC championship belts simultaneously when he beat Stipe Miocic for the UFC Heavyweight Championship at UFC 226. He will make his second defense of the title on Saturday in the main event of UFC 241 in a rematch against Miocic.

Cormier is a -145 favorite on the UFC odds to defend his championship at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The last time these two men met in the octagon, Cormier was coming up in weight from the light heavyweight division and was a +205 underdog. The only man who has ever defeated Daniel Cormier in a professional fight is Jon Jones, who has done so twice (though one was later overturned to a no contest).

With a professional record of 22-1, Cormier hopes to win this fight and then finish his career with a third and final fight against Jones.

Stipe Miocic (+115 to win this bout) will try to spoil those plans. Before losing to Cormier at UFC 241, Miocic had won six straight heavyweight bouts including winning the title off of Fabricio Werdum at UFC 198 and defending it against Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos and Francis Ngannou. This will be his first fight since the upset.

Nate Diaz will be making his long awaited return to the octagon as a +110 underdog to face Anthony Pettis (-140) in the co-main event. Diaz defeated Conor McGregor at UFC 196 and had a rematch against him at UFC 202, losing by split decision in one of the promotion’s all-time great fights. Pettis looked sharp in his return to the welterweight division with a knockout victory over Stephen Thompson at UFC Fight Night 148.

Rounding out the main card are Yoel Romero (-150) vs. Paulo Costa (+120), Sodiq Yusuff (-280) vs. Gabriel Benítez (+220), and Ian Heinisch (-160) vs. Derek Brunson (+130). Paulo Costa is a perfect 12-0 with 11 wins by knockout through the first 12 fights of his professional career including a 4-0 record in the UFC thus far. He’ll get his toughest test to date in the form of the 13-3 Yoel Romero.

UFC 241 Betting Lines

Daniel Cormier (-145) vs. Stipe Miocic (+115)

Anthony Pettis (-140) vs. Nate Diaz (+110)

Yoel Romero (-150) vs. Paulo Costa (+120)

Sodiq Yusuff (-280) vs. Gabriel Benítez (+220)

Ian Heinisch (-160) vs. Derek Brunson (+130)

Brock Lesnar v Daniel Cormier: a depressing product of UFC's entertainment era

It looks like a 39-year-old may soon fight a 40-year-old for the heavyweight title. It’s hardly a resounding endorsement of the future

Curtis “Razor” Blaydes cut loose after UFC 226’s main event on Saturday night. He had just watched WWE star Brock Lesnar strut into the octagon for the first time in two years, and engage in a shoving match with UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.

“Tired of all the politics,” Blaydes tweeted. “Like is it even still about fighting? First CM Punk now Brock Lesnar. I’ll just continue to grow as a martial artist and become more dangerous and I refuse to resort to that WWE bs fake arguing just to draw in lame ass casual fans.”

Frankie Edgar defeats Cub Swanson via unanimous decision in Atlantic City

Click here for More Olympics Updates https://www.winterolympian.com/frankie-edgar-defeats-cub-swanson-via-unanimous-decision-in-atlantic-city/

Frankie Edgar defeats Cub Swanson via unanimous decision in Atlantic City

Former UFC champion Frankie Edgar picked up a key decision win over Cub Swanson, just seven weeks after suffering the first knockout loss of his career.

Edgar (23-6-1) outclassed Swanson (25-9) on the feet en route to unanimous 30-27 judges’ scorecards. The 145-pound bout co-headlined UFC Fight Night at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, in Edgar’s home state of New Jersey.

It was not the prettiest fight of Edgar’s career, as the action occasionally stalled throughout. It was still one of his most impressive wins, however, considering the circumstances. In addition to a knockout loss to Brian Ortega in March, Edgar was also dealing with the recent loss of his father and grandfather.

“I just lost [my father], my grandfather — this was a tough go,” Edgar said. “Thank God, I’ve got my family. My kids are here. This is the first fight they’ve seen.

“I see everybody putting stuff up, only 13 percent or 15 percent come back [to win after a knockout] — I don’t believe in any of that. I’m not going anywhere.”

Whether it was simply an off-night or a bad stylistic matchup, Swanson, 34, looked hesitant in the three-round loss. According to Fightmetric, he was only outstruck in the bout 50 to 60, but most of his attempts were the jab or other long-range strikes with little power behind them.

This fight was a rematch of a bout between the two in 2014. Although the result was similar — Edgar won the first meeting by fifth-round submission — the rematch played out very differently. Edgar dominated Swanson with takedowns in 2014. This time, he outworked him on the feet.

Edgar, of Toms River, New Jersey, has won seven of his past nine bouts. He was scheduled to challenge Max Holloway for the featherweight championship in March, but Holloway withdrew with an ankle injury and was replaced by Ortega.

Holloway and Ortega are now scheduled to meet at UFC 226 on July 7 in Las Vegas. Edgar, 36, has called for the winner.

Willis hangs on for win against Sherman

Heavyweight Justin Willis (7-1) held off a late rally by Chase Sherman (11-5) in the final round to earn a unanimous decision and improve to 3-0 in the Octagon.

Willis, of San Jose, California, was on the verge of a knockout win on several occasions in the first round. He wobbled Sherman with a counter left hand early in the fight, and then dropped him moments later with the same punch.

Sherman, 28, showed off an incredible chin and a lot of heart, however, eventually working back to his feet and slowing Willis down along the fence. He fell victim to the counter left again in the second round, before rallying in the final frame.

A tired Willis found himself on the end of a string of short elbow strikes by Sherman, but it was not enough to turn the scorecards. A former collegiate football player, Willis has now defeated Sherman, Allen Crowder and James Mulheron in his UFC career.

Branch stuns KO artist Santos with overhand right

Middleweight David Branch (22-4) stunned hard-hitting Brazilian Thiago Santos (17-6) with an overhand right, leading to a knockout finish at 2:30 of the opening round.

A New York native, Branch popped Santos with the right hand as he walked him back into the cage. The former WSOF champion dropped several hammerfists to put a stamp on the finish, before referee Gary Copeland managed to intervene.

It’s just the sixth knockout finish of Branch’s career, and his first since 2014. Santos, 34, came into the bout with 12 career knockouts. This is his third loss by KO.

Former interim title challenger Kevin Lee turned in one of the best performances of his career Saturday night in Atlantic City, defeating Edson Barboza via TKO at 2:18 of the fifth round. Asked who he wants next, Lee replied, “It’s Khabib time, baby.”

“We worked that overhand coming over the top and rolling underneath,” Branch said. “He was really hard to get to. We had to be tricky and loop those punches. I think he was expecting them to come down the middle.”

Branch improves to 2-1 since re-signing with the UFC last year. He dropped a high-profile TKO loss to Luke Rockhold his last time out, in September.

Sterling cruises to decision, calls for Cruz

Bantamweight contender Aljamain Sterling (15-3) handed Brett Johns (15-1) his first professional loss, in the form of a dominant unanimous decision. All three judges had it a sweep for Sterling, 30-27.

Sterling, of Cortland, New York, was never close to a finish, but he dominated Johns in grappling exchanges en route to an obvious win on the scorecards. According to Fightmetric, Sterling racked up more than six minutes of control time on Johns, and outstruck him 111 to 57 overall.

Johns’ boxing combinations had some success in spurts, but the outcome of the bout was never really in doubt. It’s a big turnaround win for Sterling, who suffered a highlight-reel knockout loss to Marlon Moraes in his prior appearance in December.

The 28-year-old called out former champion Dominick Cruz immediately after the bout.

“There’s a time when your idols become your rivals. Dominick Cruz, let’s do this!” Sterling said.

Hooker impresses, knocks out ‘legend’ Miller

New Zealand lightweight Dan Hooker (16-7) became just the second man to knock out Jim Miller (28-12) in an MMA fight, as he rocked the 34-year-old veteran with a knee just three minutes into the opening round.

Hooker, 28, dropped Miller with a knee to the chin, and followed up with a right hand after Miller fell to the canvas. Hooker showed a great deal of respect for Miller in the aftermath, opting to calmly stand in the neutral corner as opposed to celebrating.

“All respect to Jim Miller. He’s a legend of the sport, and it was an honor to fight him inside the Octagon,” Hooker said. “Jim Miller is a legend. That’s it.”

Miller, who fights out of Sparta, New Jersey, has now lost four in a row. Prior to this skid, which dates back to February 2017, he had never lost more than two bouts consecutively.

Despite his obvious respect for Miller, Hooker looked confident and aggressive in the early going. He utilized his four-inch height advantage well, applying the jab regularly. Hooker has now won three in a row and six overall in the UFC. In his postfight interview, he called for a bout against Paul Felder, who was actually holding the mic as a commentator for the UFC.
