Last night Charles Oliveira reached the top of the UFC ladder after beating Max Holloway via unanimous decision to claim the BMF title. Oliveira who was former UFC lightweight champion returned to winning ways after a sensational display of grappling and ground control in his hopes to be contesting for the title once again, but with split opinions and thoughts on the fight itself, it may be time to completely abolish the BMF title in the UFC. When the BMF title was brought in

After defeating Magomed Ankalaev back in October of last year, former light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira will make the move up to heavyweight, vacating his LHW title in search of the heavyweight title this year. Pereira who is on course to become the first ever three weight class UFC champion announced his move up to heavyweight yesterday, and a date with Cyril Gane could be on the cards this year. This year the anticipated White House card is one of the most exciting pr

After Nicky Henderson and JP McManus’ star boy Jonbon earned his 11th grade one victory in the Ascot Chase yesterday, it looks like the 10 year old is destined to end up in the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham, and a race that once looked like a shoe in for Fact To File could now shape up to be a battle between two very worthy competitors. With Jonobn now solidifying the fact that he is an out-and-out two miler, it seems more likely than ever that Jonbon will end up in the Ryanair

Today was yet another poor showing by the reigning Gold Cup winner Inothewayurthinkin, and with the Cheltenham Festival only a month away his chances of regaining the title look extremely slim. His hopes were somewhat high today in a packed field, however a subpar performance followed by a fall at the last has pretty much put all of his Gold Cup hopes to bed, and winning last year's renewal may have been the worst thing for his career. Gavin Cromwell’s Inothewayurthinkin prod

A day in which its spark was taken away after the terrible news of Sir Gino’s injury still ended up being an informative and enjoyable day throughout, and there was certainly a lot to take ahead of the festival in March, and here are some of the biggest things we learned from today's racing. Ireland may already have the stayers hurdle in the bag Of all the races on the big Cheltenham card today, the Cleeve Hurdle was the one that would probably give us the best insight into w

Kalif Du Berlais went off as the ⅘ favourite just then in Coral Silviniaco Conti Chase, and seemed to suffer a freak injury halfway from home which could be terrible for Paul Nicholls and connections. The former grade one winner unseated Harry Cobden during the race before 12 year old legend Edwardstone took the contest, but the six year old’s fault halfway during the race may be one to look away from for the Nicholls yard. Earlier this season Paul Nicholls announced that his

It has been a great few days of racing in the UK and Ireland, but especially over in Leopardstown and Limerick, a lot has been taught, stars have been born, and there is a lot to take as the season rolls on. From future stars emerging, to fan favourites deciding their paths for the season, here are some of the key takeaways from the festive racing. El Cairos is a monster in the making One of the big races of the week was definitely one which births racing stars every year, th

Last year Noel George and Amdana Zetterholm’s stable star Il Est Francais almost blew away the field in the King George VI Chase on Boxing Day, but the race was subsequently taken away from him in the dying embers by Paul Townend and Banbridge. Now with the father of Noel, Tom George, Il Est Francais will look to go one better in this year's renewal and there are plenty of reasons why he could, or could not be the victor in a few days' time. In 2024 it was a jumping clinic ar

The entry confirmations for the Betfair Tingle Creek at Sandown on Saturday sees Willie Mullins’ Il Etait Temps, Dan Skelton’s L’eau du Sud, and Nicky Henderson’s Jonbon head a field of six runners as Celebration Chase winner Il Etait Temps leads the market. However at 3/1 in the market right now, there may not be a better price this season for Jonbon. At the end of last season Nicky Henderson saw his chasing superstar Jonbon’s season get end in disappointing fashion after co

The two leading market favourites for the Arkle Chase at the Cheltenham festival both made their highly anticipated chasing debuts today, and both look like very worthy candidates so far. Nicky Henderson’s Lulamba finished off his season in style with a big win at the Punchestown festival, while Willie Mullins’ Kopek Des Bordes earned Cheltenham festival triumph last season, however now both could line up against each other. The Arkle looks like a star studded line up this se

It seems as if the spark between Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies has slowly started to deteriorate, and things aren’t as good as they used to be. Only three years ago the Grizzlies were one of the most exciting and entertaining teams in the NBA, however now, it looks like that spark is gone, and maybe trading Ja is the way to go. As far as where he fits best goes, Minnesota looks like a place where he could thrive and find his elite game again, and with how his game is lo

The coveted Breeders Cup Classic, where all of North America’s best horses take on a mile and a quarter of glistening first at Del Mar, and the field did not disappoint. In the disappointing absence of Godolphin’s triple crown winning Sovereignty, it is last year's runner up, the quirky Fierceness who heads the market, but one horse in particular has been slightly written off, but he shouldn't be. Over this season in the United States, Journalism has been Sovereignty’s bigges

A lashing opening night 125-92 win for the San Antonio Spurs over the Dallas Mavericks showed the NBA world why the Spurs will be one of the most feared and dangerous teams not only in the west, but in the entire NBA. Everything seems to be finally clicking for the Spurs after a solid few years of rebuilding, and that conversation about the future is finally becoming a reality in San Antonio. The youth movement in San Antonio is hard to argue against being the best in the NBA

The final meeting of the flat season will take place tomorrow at Ascot, and some of the season's best horses will line up in some of the last group one races of the season, including Wathnan’s Jubilee Stakes winner Lazzat. The four year old tops the market headed into the Champions SPrint, but does he really deserve it? In a big field of 20, Lazzat and James Doyle will take on a couple more rivals compared to his Jubilee win back in June at the Royal meeting, and he has some
