Stephen Thompson Gets Submitted For The First Time Ever

Stephen Thompson suffered a second-round submission loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 296 on Saturday.

This time, however, Emmett knocked out […]

Jahan Dotson Posts Just One Catch Against Rams

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson earned just one target, catching it for 12 yards in the team's loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
