data-mm-id=”_ueixx480p”>The UFC traveled to Mexico City on Saturday night for a card known as either UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Royval 2, UFC Fight Night 237 or UFC on ESPN+ 95. Whatever you want to call the event, it was the promotion's first trip to Mexico City since 2019 so fans were excited. Maybe even a little too excited as you'll see in these videos of a brawl in stands.Absolute scenes in the stands at UFC Mexico 👊 pic.twitter.com/UMwv4CNRlG— Football Fights (@footbalIfights) February 25, 2024Me tocó en primer fila el KO de la noche en UFC México @fanaticosMMAGT @CCLegaspi pic.twitter.com/OKee7R6SSS— JS (@JS_mma_) February 25, 2024Who knows what started this, but since it took place on a flat surface inside Mexico City Arena, we do know that the people involved paid pretty good money to watch the fights and get involved in one of their own. It looks like at least eight people were involved in this brawl and one side definitely got the worst of it based on the level of undress they ended the fight in.Clearly the biggest loser in the fight was the guy who had the sleeve ripped off his dress shirt. For about a millisecond he probably thought it was over, but then he got dropped with one of the most nonchalant left hooks you'll ever see at a UFC event. After the event UFC President Dana White was asked about the brawl, which he had apparently run over to watch. White was amazed that security never stepped in to break it up and instead allowed the brawl to end on its own.Dana White reacts to the UFC Mexico crowd brawl pic.twitter.com/g6peY9YwfG— Oscar Willis (@oscarswillis) February 25, 2024If White really doesn't think this kind of thing ever happens at a UFC event, come on. First of all, there was literally a brawl in the stands at a UFC event in December which involved fighters. But this is not a UFC-specific problem. It's a human problem. This happens at all kinds of professional sporting events. It's just not usually finished so definitively.

data-mm-id=”_1lgaj3g6b”>The XFL kicked off today. It's been an interesting experience so far, and one of the cooler new aspects of the broadcast is sideline reporters conducting interviews with players as they walk off the field after something happens. As one might imagine, interviewing players while emotions are high can sometimes come with a cost. We got our first example during Saturday's inagural matchup between the D.C. Defenders and Seattle Dragons. Dianna Russini caught an XFL lineman coming off the field right after he had gotten flagged for a post-whistle skirmish, and he dropped the first F-bomb in XFL history. The ABC censor did not catch it in time. XFL Offensive Lineman gets interviews, immediately drops an f-bomb. pic.twitter.com/XjIVTr8lAl— Dov Kleiman (@NFL…
data-mm-id=”_le1o0gmoq”>Football season is about to be canceled. At least in the most problematic sense.

data-mm-id=”_i6q7v7fdu”>The last fleeting hope that Archie Miller's time at Indiana could lead to greatness vanished into thin air Wednesday night. Piscataway is a hell of a place to watch a basketball team hit rock bottom, but that's exactly what happened as Rutgers ran the hapless Hoosiers off the floor in a rout. Four years in, Miller's time in Bloomington has been one long missed opportunity and the school simply can't justify keeping him atop its cherished basketball program any longer. Indiana opened Wednesday night's contest in fine fashion, racing to a 23-8 lead at the RAC midway through the first half. The Hoosiers were quick, decisive, hit some big shots and their defensive rotations were on point. Then things went downhill faster than a Kendall Roy c…
data-mm-id=”_ax30rr3jm”>The Dallas Cowboys face the herculean challenge this offseason of finally signing Dak Prescott to a long-term contract extension and plugging the numerous holes on their roster. They must to do all that while only having $33 million in cap space to play with. Completing that task will take creativity, ingenuity, and some amazing scouting, but it would be made much easier if they traded Ezekiel Elliott. In fact, it's the Cowboys' best path toward becoming Super Bowl contenders again next year. With Elliott out this week because of a calf contusion, Tony Pollard got the start and showed he's ready to replace Elliott as the Cowboys lead back moving forward. Against the 49ers, Pollard ran for 69 yards and two touchdowns and caught six passes for 63 ya…
data-mm-id=”_caeg6uvei”>On Monday, the NBA and NFL subreddits, two of the largest communities on Reddit, went private along with thousands of other subreddits in protest of a new Reddit policy. Going "private" on the website means nobody can see the subreddit, so it is impossible to browse, post, or comment. In 2020, the two subreddits shut down in a similar manner as part of another protest against Reddit. Here's what you see if you try to log onto reddit.com/r/nba. Reddit / Why did they do this?

In layman's terms, Reddit recently announced some changes that would effectively eliminate third-party applications, forcing anybody who wants to use the site on mobile to download the official Reddit app. This is making people upset for two…
data-mm-id=”_yippum7ta”>Sean Payton rolled into Denver with lots of thoughts about the job previous coach Nathaniel Hackett did and how Russell Wilson should stop running for offense and promptly lost the first three games, including a 70-20 debacle in Miami last week that somehow could have been worse. The Broncos had a much easier task in Chicago this afternoon against the Bears, but wasted no time making Justin Fields look like the best quarterback in the world and digging a 28-7 deficit. Desperate times call for desperate measures and, noticing the temperature on the Lake Michigan shores was above 80 degrees, Payton decided to make a wardrobe alteration. Because whereas a normal person would simply roll up their sleeves to vent the forearms, a football coach tasks an equipment mana…

data-mm-id=”_y9xomjhvh”>Travis Kelce accosting Andy Reid on the Kansas City Chiefs' sideline in the middle of Super Bowl LVIII exists in a weird space where it feels like the incident itself was not given the proper attention when it happened but then everybody went overboard trying to compensate for that afterwards. Tony Romo brushed it off when we all saw it on live television and now it's been maybe the most-discussed topic in the aftermath of the Big Game. At the very least it's been talked about just as much as Patrick Mahomes' place in the GOAT rankings, which means the coverage has been quite comprehensive. On Wednesday a new episode of New Heights dropped and we got Kelce's side of the story. Speaking to his brother, Jason, Travis did not deign to expla…

After coming in to relieve an injured Quinn Ewers in the second quarter of the Longhorns' 56-7 win over the UTSA Roadrunners, Arch Manning will start Texas' Saturday night game. Manning, the nephew of NFL quarterbacking legends Peyton and Eli Manning, showed he has the potential to live up to his uncles. Manning went 9-for-12 with 223 yards and five total touchdowns in his second appearance of the season. He came in during the third quarter of Texas' Week 1 win over Colorado State when the result was already determined. Manning went 5-for-6 for 95 yards and two total touchdowns.
