According to Islam Makhachev’s manager, Tuesday’s slew of UFC fight booking announcements could have been a lot different if the UFC 315 main event went the other way.

Flagg, who is 6-foot-9 and a two-way force at power forward who reminds many of Mavericks star Anthony Davis, is not only supremely athletic but has a floor game that should flourish with the more spaced-out NBA game.

[BBC]Daniel Balodis: A huge win for St Johnstone against Ross County, keeping that flicker of hope they can escape the drop alive. The goal from the Latvian defender could be crucial. Elliot Watt: An assist and a winner. May have etched his name into St Johnstone folklore if they manage to pull off the great escape.
