UFC - UFC 251 aka UF SEA aka FIGHT ISLAND!! Its happening everyone!! Fight island is a GO!

Masvidal Vs Usman - Masvidal is coming off of only a week and a half notice to fight. Masvidal is a fighter who is always ready to fight at a moments notice. Masvidal looking like a mountain man during the weigh in. Long hair.. Bushy beard.. Not a care in the world.. And i STILL have him winning this fight.. Lol… alot of the experts are backing Usman bc he has had “more time to prepare” but who knows.. All i DO know its going to be a great fight.

Other Predictions for the UFC Main Card -

Amanda Ribas vs Paige VanZant - Its put up or shut up time for VanZant. She has lost 3 of her last 5 fights and if she wants another big pay day… she needs to show up.. I think they go all 3 rounds and the fight goes to Ribas… VZ has to put an amazing showing to stay in it.

Jessica Andrade Vs Rose Namajunas 2 - The experts are split on this one… as am i.. But i have to give the edge to the always deadly and sneaky Rose N.

Petr Yan Vs Jose Aldo for the Vacated title - Honestly the way Aldo looked in his last fight.. Have to go with Yan.. BUT if its a close fight and it goes to the cards.. I think Aldo takes it bc of who is is… or was..

Alexander Volkanovski vs Max Holloway 2 - Last fight everyone kept waiting for Holloway to flip the switch and get after Volks… Never happened.. So I think he has more to prove this time around..


Jon Jones- Jones was amongst a group of individuals who came to the aid of a man they found laying on the ground in a park barely coherent. The man was suffering from heat exhaustion and the group was able to help the man to some shade and give him water and some food. No authorities or ambulance was called, but he was better by the end of the ordeal… Make sure with the heat everyone you are staying hydrated and make sure to eat.

MLB

Players opting out, some of the notable names: David Price and Buster Posey. With other players like Mike Trout and Kris Bryant saying they are not sure it’s a good idea anymore.

Michael Kopech ... opted out, coming off a tommy john season. 24 years old, probably hardest throwing right handed starter in MLB.

Posey on a side note adopted twin girls, part of the reason he is not playing this year.

Let’s not forget Price paid for the Dodgers minor leaguers salaires for the month of June.


Interesting notes: Tampa Bay and Colorado Rockies have both said that they plan to let a select few fans attend games in September if possible. Rules include a maximum of 4 tickets can be purchased and every other row seating.

Oakland A’s - Matt Chapman says about playing with no fans in the stands, “ We’re used to not having too many fans”

Toronto Blue Jays have said that they will fine 750k for being outside of their stadium/hotel bubble this summer?


GAME schedule has been released

Nats vs. Yanks game one, Scherzer vs. Cole? … Tradition has usually been AL champ vs. NL Champ … Do they want to avoid the whole ASStros issue?

August 16th MLB will honor the 100th anniversary of the Negro Leagues.

August 28th … Reschedule date for the Jackie Robinson Day.

September 9th Roberto Coemente Day

September 27th final day of the season every game on the schedule will begin at 3 p.m. ET

40 divisional games and 20 interleague games

July 28th and 29th … Dodgers vs. ASStros … I think everyone has those two games circled on the calendar.

6 Games including 3 to end the season between the Angels and Dodgers…. LETS DO THIS!!
Kershaw, Bellinger, and Betts Vs Rendon, Ohtani, and Trout. I cant wait to see these matchups.

Who do you think has the best chance of ending the season batting .400?
Christian Yelich - Last 2 seasons hitting .326 and .329
Cody Bellinger - through 49 games last year, was over .400
Anthony Rendon - has raised his BA over the last 4 years steadily
Mike Trout - Has been most impressive playing against AL/NL West has approached .400 in a 60 game stretch a few times.. This could be the year.

ACC wont let ANY athletic Competitions until at least Sept 1.

PAC - 12 commish Larry Scott has tested positive for Covid and is self quarantining.

PAC-12 and Big Ten won’t play non-conference games in 2020.

What happens to Notre Dame? Since they are an Independant team? They currently only have 9 games on their schedule after PAC 12 opponents , USC and Stanford, and Wisconsin have cancelled their scheduled games for the 2020 season.

Local JC’s have also gone the same route as of right now.

I’ve read that there are talks about moving the high school fall sports to the winter or spring, and only having varsity levels compete. That would be interesting and tough.

High School Sports
High School sports may only allow Varsity Athletes to play, how do you feel about that Coach Casas?
