Diaz defeated Anthony Pettis in a tremendous performance – one of the best of his career, a surprise given he hadn’t fought since 2016 – and with even UFC President Dana White now admitting that he’s a “needle-mover”, hopefully it won’t be long before we see him in the Octagon again. But who should Diaz face? Here are 5 potential opponents for the UFC’s most popular bad boy. #1 Jorge Masvidal This one seems pretty logical, as Diaz outright called out Jorge Masvidal for a fight in his post-fight interview following his victory over Pettis on Saturday, suggesting that the winner would be considered “the baddest m********** in the game”....

The WWE Championship will be defended in a handicap match, the Universal Championship will be defended in a triple threat match, a new United States Champion will be crowned, and the Women of WWE take their next step on their road to elevating women’s wrestling with the first-ever 30 Woman Royal Rumble match set to take place. All of those matches will make for an interesting show and a few more matches may be added, but the biggest draw for the 2018 Royal Rumble pay-per-view is still the Men’s Royal Rumble....

Now while some fans choose to believe that there shouldn’t be so much stock put into that, the bottom line is that The Deadman has done some truly incredible things throughout his career. So the big question on everyone’s minds is, when will it come to an end? When will the man who possessed the greatest streak in all of sports entertainment finally ride off into the sunset? Well, we initially believed it would happen last year at WrestleMania 32, but if the rumours are to be believed then a number of injuries ensured that didn’t come to fruition....

The Catalan club now plays in a manner quite opposite to Luis Enrique’s approach. Possession football is back while Valverde also demands quick transitions from defence to attack.

However, beyond the bright lights and outside its awnings, there has been a slew of dangerous attacks on WWE Superstars. Nowhere near in their fatality to the culture of off ring attacks that define WWE storylines, some of these have come quite close to ending careers and paralyzing lives. While some Superstars have been known to be intentionally aggressive in their public doings, others have faced the glint of an overzealous fan’s knife, just as others have had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time....

Here are five questions that Simeone has to answer ahead of Los Rojiblancos’ game against Qarabag. 1. Right-back Juanfran Torres has been Diego Simeone’s first choice right-back for most of his stint at Atleti. Now, the Spanish international is 32-years old and is showing signs of decadence. In fact, he hasn’t even made the squad for the Qarabag game. Luckily for Simeone, he has two other quality right-back choices in Sime Vrsaljko and José María Giménez....

A 17-year veteran of MMA, Nate Diaz has shockingly never even challenged for a UFC title (barring a certain specialty belt in 2019). Despite his hit-and-miss record and surprising lack of accolades, Diaz continues to draw fans and interest whenever he shows up. With his older brother Nick finally returning in September, the question has to be asked: when will we next see Nate in the octagon? His first fight since UFC 244 did not go his way....

Nonetheless, down the years the hierarchy in the WWE have made numerous mistakes in one of the company’s most iconic events. Whether it is the unnecessary pushes of overrated stars, overuse of famous faces or failure to use talent to the best of their ability, mistakes have been made down the years.

For the first time in 28 years, no player will be donning the esteemed number 10 jersey after it being left vacant by Lionel Messi, who joined PSG.

Modric created history in 2018 when he won the Ballon d’Or and became the first player to break the duopoly held by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the decade.

Real Madrid eyeing Modric replacement in the coming months However, at the age of 34, Modric seems to be approaching the twilight years of his career....

I’m talking of course about United’s current pass master, Michael Carrick. The current English pass maestro has been a mainstay at Old Trafford whenever fit for he can, just like Scholes, dictate a game and carve open opposition defences. Yet, the Englishman – who was dropped by his national team for their recent friendlies – is getting old and his influence on the game is reducing. The club are usually tasked with playing a box-to-box midfielder next to him just to ensure they can help Carrick on defensively and allow him to attack freely for when he has that freedom, he thrives....

This accolade is handed to the most outstanding player aged 21 or under in each campaign. Several players who have won this award have previously gone on to have stellar Premier League careers and understandably so.

Show has had some big matches during his career against big men including Brock Lesnar, Mark Henry, The Undertaker, and Braun Strowman. Strowman is another Superstar who has managed to match the size and strength not only of Big Show, but also that of many of the other such Superstars.

Asuka has had incredible matches, but there has just never seemed to be any kind of gameplan for her at all and the RAW Women’s Championship, as opposed to, say, Drew McIntyre and the WWE Championship. A Champion is only as strong as the contenders she faces, and the WWE RAW Women’s Championship needs strong players to lend it the validation it deserves. Here are five Superstars that Asuka could square off with in the months to come....
