UFC 300 vs. 200 vs. 100
UFC 300 is set to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada. The home and apex of the UFC especially throughout the Covid pandemic. At T-Mobile Arena, expect to see a stacked card from top to bottom. And that means all the way down to the early prelims as some familiar veterans will be featured such as former champion Cody Garbrandt, Jessica Andrade, and Bobby Green and Jim MIller tearing their heads apart in a small mighty clash.
Also, UFC 295 headliner Jiri Prochazka, who was quite obviously disappointed against the main eventer of UFC 300, Alex Pereira has deferred to the prelims along with Aljamain Sterling and Diego Lopes with the Brazilian vying to defeat a ranked opponent within his weight division.
The card most definitely looks good but the interesting fight to watch for is Kayla Harrison vs. Holly Holm and then the decent quality of what the main card will display. Having talked with Rick Hawn when first discovered, Harrison was prominent in Judo and the Olympics and with nowhere else to go. She signed with PFL. Later, now the coexisting partner and owner of Bellator MMA.
She has an opportunity to veer the ship and take a huge step forward in not just women’s competitive sports but the MMA community as a whole. Quite possibly, a celebrity if you ask. She is ripped and worked extra hard for this moment in time.
But in the meantime, it is UFC 300 coming up. How about talking UFC’s first biggest box office at UFC 100? The same place it emanated from was Vegas. One difference between 100, 200, and 300 is that 200 aired live in New York. And what an ordeal it was for multiple years to land in NY.
Also, take into account that Brock Lesnar will not be featured on the set of main or co-main events. It is a different time, and set of circumstances and Conor McGregor will not take his bloody plane back to Boston or Los Angeles or NY for a foreseeable event like UFC 300.
Speaking of which, was Road House compelling featuring Conor McGregor and Jake Gyllenhaal?
When asked, UFC fans argue in favor of UFC 100 being the best out of all trilogies but with the personality of Justin Gaethje for starters, and the uproar of UFC’s longevity, is truly special.

Benches Clear in Mets-Brewers
It did not take long for Rhys Hoskins to be reintroduced with open arms. As it turns out, the legs of Jeff McNeil’s interfered just enough for the Mets to throw a tirade and the Brewers to clear their respective dugout on a Friday afternoon at Citi Park.
Hoskins slid into the bag and disrupted a feasible Mets double-play. Reliever Jacob Rhame and Hoskins have not recollected a solid history between each other. One, two wild pitches to the face of Hoskins. And two, a sweet home-run shot by an individual looking to be reintroduced and makeup time.

Jets Deny Report of Heated Exchange
After a disappointing season in which the New York Jets finished 7-10 without quarterback Aaron Rodgers, reports are leaking that there was reportedly a heated exchange between NY owner Woody Johnson and coach Robert Saleh.
The Around the NFL Podcast’s Colleen Wolfe was the first to break it and Johnson went on X to deny claims of any friction between the well-respected coach. Perhaps, Saleh is on the hot seat but there were no arguments at the NFL league meetings.

There’s a New Goat-ee in Miami
He may not run as pretty or be brought to fame or glory through a prominent high school but Jaime Jacquez Jr. in just his first season has turned heads. Most particularly, for his management to stay poised for an outside lottery pick from last year’s NBA Draft.
Let it be known, that Lebron James was once the king of Miami. He even conceded on the Mind the Game with JJ Redick most recently that he wishes there was a rewind button to 2012 when James captured his first-ever NBA title. But that’s neither here nor there.
Jacquez has developed a good relationship and rapport with teammates very quickly and become a popular celebrity amongst singing stars. He is a popular target on the court when looking for the three-ball as only a rookie.
The Heat have dealt with a misfortune of injuries and losses but Jacquez Jr. has been there in critical moments to erase doubt of missing the playoffs and brightening the future. With Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler under contract, Miami can certainly work off Jacquez’s college impressive track record and hard work entering the NBA.
He is a former Pac-12 Player of the Year and helped UCLA tremendously before leaving. Ironically, his father always bequeathed the ethos of Pat Riley. Now, Jacquez is receiving a piece of humble pie once more with Riley and his own win-now culture in Miami.
Jacquez Jr. is averaging 12.3 PPG, 3.9 RPG, and 2.6 AST. He is not fairly averaging the best numbers beyond the arc but he will persevere. He has improved from the post, and court vision and needs to always keep an ear for what his father says which is hustle.
There is a lot of reason to believe Jacquez Jr. was not thrown into a deal for Damian Lillard or any other superstar. He could not be happier in Miami on the East Coast and lead as the new goat-ee of Miami going forward.
