San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (side) will not be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

Wilmer Flores will cover third […]

Tommy Pham Won't Play Thursday

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham (face) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Mets. On Wednesday, Pham and Ha-Seong Kim collided while attempting to track a flyball. Pham received stitches in his chin and is likely going to be day-to-day. It wouldn't be shocking to see Pham get […]

Augusto Sakai Looking For Main-Event Victory

Having his four-fight Octagon winning streak snapped in his last outing, Augusto Sakai (15-2-1) hopes to secure the victory in Saturday's main event against deadly striker Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik Hopes To Get Back On Track

It has been a bumpy road for Jairzinho Rozenstruik (11-2) while facing the cream of the crop of the UFC's heavyweight division.

Dropping two of his last three bouts, the dangerous kickboxer will hope to score […]

Poland's own Marcin Tybura (21-6) will enter the Octagon on Saturday against veteran Walt Harris in search of his fourth straight victory.

Walt Harris Hoping To Have His Hand Raised Saturday

Not only has it been a very tough last couple of years for Walt Harris (13-9) outside of the Octagon, but the last few years inside of the Octagon have not been so friendly either. Losing his last two outings by knockout/TKO, Harris has not scored a victory in the UFC since July of 2019. […]

Roman Dolidze Looks To Rebound From First Career Loss

Entering the UFC undefeated, Roman Dolidze (8-1) ran through his first two competitors before losing his last outing.
