But who’s to say where I go from here? Soon after, he took the microphone and yelled “O-H” to the crowd, which responded “I-0”, to the local champ, whose knock out of Fabricio Werdum this spring was followed by the Cavaliers overcoming a 3-1 deficit to beat Golden State in the NBA Finals. “However, I knew that if I got her in the clinch or on the ground I would have the advantage”.

Fans cheer as Jessica Eye walks to the octagon before a women’s bantamweight bout at UFC 203 on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016, in Cleveland.
While the Cleveland fans saw the fight ends as they wished, their man’s title reign looked to be under bigger threat when Alistair Overeem knocked the American down with a big left hand and then looked to end the fight with a guillotine.

“I’m happy to be back”.

Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones has opened the door to the possibility of fighting UFC Heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic one day.
Having just been battered into the realms of unconsciousness by Miocic, barely able to get back on his stool post-fight, the confused Dutchman was convinced he’d felt a tap from the champ early in the fight.
The UFC debut of Phil Brooks, known in the wrestling community as CM Punk, was one that many had been looking forward to, after multiple setbacks pushed it back to 21 months from the time he had signed with the company.
“I was training in L.A. and a firetruck came roaring up”, Werdum said.
