This would be their second fight against each other and the first time Stipe dominated that fight and retained the title. But this time Ngannou completely dominated this fight and won with a vicious knockout and was the new heavyweight champ. In the co-main event in the welterweight division between Tyron Woodley and Vicente Luque fought. Woodley who used to be the champ of this division for a while but eventually lost the title to Usman. When this fight began Woodley rushed Luque and took him down, but then later in that round Woodley got rocked and he eventually tapped out and lost. Finally in the bantamweight division Sean O’Malley and Thomas Almeida fought. O’Malley completely dominated this fight and won via knockout.
NFL: There were two huge trades that happened this past week. The Dolphins traded their number 3 pick in the draft to the 49ers for the number 12 pick, 2021 third round pick and 2 first round picks in 2022 and 2023. Then the Eagles traded their number 6 pick to the Dolphins for number 12 pick (the pick they just got from the 49ers) and their 2022 first round pick. The Cardinals signed cornerback Malcolm Butler and the Ravens signed wide receiver Sammy Watkins.
NBA: This past Thursday was the trade deadline and so many trades happened. The magic traded pretty much all of their good players and decided that they are going to start a rebuild. They traded their all-star center Nikola Vucevic and Al Farouq Aminu to the Bulls for Otto Porter, Wendell Carter and two first round picks. They also traded guard Evan Fournier to the Celtics for two second round picks. Lastly, they traded forward Aaron Gorgon to the Nuggets for Gary Harris, RJ Hampton and a first round pick. There were other teams that made trades during the trade deadline which include the Raptors trading Norman Powell to the Trail Blazers for Gary Trent and Rodney Hood. The Hawks even traded Rajon Rondo to the Clippers for Lou Williams and two second round picks. The Rockets traded Victor Oladipo to the Heat for Avery Bradley and Kelly Olynyk. The Cavs bought out Andre Drummond’s contract and he signed with the Lakers. The Spurs did the same thing with LaMarcus Aldridge and he signed with the Nets.
The Stipe loss sucked. He was a phenomenal champion. I always watch the UFC Embedded series prior to fights and his love for being a firefighter is really cool to me. Francis was well deserving of the belt though the man is built like a tower and hits like a truck.
I love that Sammy Watkins signing for the Ravens. He was kind of getting overshadowed in KC. He is still a great receiver, but kind of had a down year. The injuries he had also kind of played a part. I don’t KC was utilizing him correctly. Watkins is a great weapon for Lamar Jackson to have. That receive g cite for Baltimore just got a lot better. The NFL better watch out because the Ravens are coming. Of course, as long as people can stay healthy.
