Ian Machado Garry hoped to have UFC welterweight gold on the line by now. It's been four months since Garry last fought in the Octagon at UFC 309. On relatively short notice, the Irish star stepped up to take on fellow undefeated contender Shavkat Rakhmonov. He suffered his first career loss in the fight, but his stock still rose even in defeat due to his strong performance in the bout.

WrestleMania 41 week is here. Monday's stop through Sacramento before WWE heads to Las Vegas left plenty to be desired. Little, if any, hype was added to the big annual super-event. Whether or not it was needed is up for debate. Ultimately, there will be plenty to unpack around this time next Monday. The "WWE Raw" before Mania, however, left us yearning for the weekend more thanks to dull moments than thrills. There wasn't much to unpack with "WWE Raw" until it was nearly time to say good night.

Jean Silva has quickly become a must-see UFC fighter. As a member of the dominant Fighting Nerds team, Silva has been flawless in the Octagon, winning at a frequent clip since his promotional debut in early 2024. Silva, 28, extended his winning streak to 13 — five in the UFC — with his fifth straight finish this past Saturday when he submitted Bryce Mitchell via second-round ninja choke at UFC 314.

Gunther never expected Jey Uso to win the 2025 Royal Rumble. Neither did the rest of the WWE universe. Uso's big February win led him to choose the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther as his WrestleMania 41 opponent for this coming weekend in Las Vegas. For many, a program between the two was an immediate head-scratcher as a feature feud for "the show of shows." Despite having no ideal opponent in mind, Gunther always expected to be in a big title defense on the two-night WWE showcase.

RT @phre: Marcel should be your go-to MMA source (even if his food tastes are crap). We're friends, known each other for years, but when i…
Phil makes a great point, and that's without mentioning the main reason it's a good point: If your contract includes a win bonus, you don't get that in a no contest.
"One of my grievances with MMA is when someone tests positive, and they have won the fight, the fight gets turned into a no contest." @PhilMrWonderful makes a good point 🤔 #HelwaniShow https://t.co/ZsDSjSXEFV
