Former wrestling superstar CM Punk pounded in UFC debut
- September 11, 2016
The challenger would say in the ring after Miococ's first-round knockout that he felt Miocic tap out, and that the ref didn't see it. The champion should be stalking from the opening bell in order to put Overeem into a defensive shell. In reality no one knows exactly what's going to happen in that fight, making a breakdown impossible. It should be noted that Overeem is actually a capable wrestler in his own right, and indeed leaned heavily on that while trying to pick himself of a losing ... (more...)

Edmund Sets Up Clash With Djokovic
- September 11, 2016
Edmund is the first man from the country other than Murray to get this far at any Grand Slam tournament since Tim Henman was a semifinalist at the 2004 U.S. And he admits he doesn't quite know whether he feels ring-rusty or remarkably fresh for this stage of a major tournament. For me, if he's played matches or not, he's going to be tough to play, isn't he? Isner saved two match points with a couple of sledgehammer serves, however the Brit converted the third with a crushing forehand. (more...)

Martin O'Neill dismisses rumours linking him to vacant Premier League role
- September 11, 2016
Serbia started the second half as they finished the first, and went close in the 58th minute as Ivanovic fired a cross into the box for Mitrovic, who managed to poke the ball into the path of Tadic.
