Road to UFC vet Zhang Mingyang continues to keep judges out of mix, adding another finish to his resume with a first-round starching of Brendson Ribeiro at UFC 298. Mingyang expertly countered Ribeiro with a straight right and left hook to pick up a knockout win on Saturday’s preliminary card at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The finish can be seen below.

9. Dijon Lee | Uncommitted (Photo: 247Sports) 247Sports ranking: 4-star | 92 rating | No. 77 overall Recruitment status: Uncommitted High School: Mission Viejo (Calif.)

As the New York Giants currently hold the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the mock drafts are becoming more frequent. In recent mocks, the Giants have been targeting wide receivers frequently, which is clearly a need on New York’s roster. However, in the latest mock draft from Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports, the Giants trade up one spot with the Los Angeles Chargers to land quarterback UNC’s Drake Maye at No. 5 overall. The Chargers, with new GM Joe Hortiz, may very well be interested in more picks. If Maye is available at No. 5, they’ll field…

Yet, Ancelotti’s trusted soldier has been sidelined in the sick bay over recent weeks.Real Madrid are already without the two centre-backs that started the 2022 Champions League final. Eder Militao tore his ACL in the first game of the season and has been joined by David Alaba in the treatment room since the Austria international suffered the same season-ending…
