UFC Returns to Madison Square Garden this Saturday

UFC 268, headlined by a rematch between reigning welterweight champion Kamaru Usman (19-1 MMA, 14-0 UFC) and Colby Covington (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC), takes place Saturday night, Nov. 6.

If Covington wins, where do you think he will celebrate? We predict that Rick’s Cabaret New York, the famous gentlemen’s club located just one block from Madison Square Garden, can expect a visit from Colby and his entourage.

We might even say it’s a sure bet, as these photos of the UFC star hanging out at Rick’s Cabaret reveal a very happy fighter, indeed.

A spokesman for the club told us that there are always after-parties following sporting events at the Garden, and all UFC fans are welcome. “The three-story club features over one hundred gorgeous entertainers nightly, bottle service, delicious food, and the best in VIP treatment.”

Definitely a great place to visit after the MSG show. Say hello to Colby for us.

World Series Game Three: Braves Pitching Shuts Out Astros 2-0

It wasn’t a screaming liner to the gap. It wasn’t sent over the fence for a home run. It wasn’t even an infield single beaten out by pure speed.

Astros pinch hitter Aledmys Diaz lofted a 98.2 mph fastball from Braves reliever Tyler Matzek. The ball traveled 232 feet. Yet, in the top of the eighth inning, that was all it took to break up the combined no-hitter Atlanta had been spinning against Houston in Game 3 of the World Series.

But that hit was one of only two on the night for the Astros as their bats were quieted by a stellar outing from starter Ian Anderson and a shutdown performance from the bullpen. An RBI double from Austin Riley in the third and a solo homer by Travis d’Arnaud in the eighth was all the run production Atlanta would need as it won 2-0 on Friday night to take a 2-1 series lead.

WWE Star Bianca Belair Is Named Top Woman Grappler

Bianca Belair’s historic emergence as one of WWE’s top female competitors will include yet another honor.

The former University of Tennessee track star topped the 2021 Pro Wrestling Illustrated Women’s 150 list, PWI contributing writer Kristen Ashly revealed during an appearance on Renee Paquette’s podcast.

Belair won the women’s Royal Rumble match at its namesake pay-per-view event to earn a title shot at WrestleMania 37 against then-SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks, with both becoming the first Black women to compete in the main event at WrestleMania, which later won an ESPY award for ‘Best WWE Moment.’

Belair defeated Banks and held the title for four consecutives months before dropping it to a returning Becky Lynch, who had vacated her RAW Women’s Championship after announcing she was pregnant with her first child.
