Share this: Dan Henderson gave it all he had, but his chances of ever winning a UFC belt likely ran out Saturday in Manchester, England. Henderson, 46, was set to retire after his last fight, but when the opportunity to face Michael Bisping for the middleweight title at UFC 204 arose, he committed to putting on the gloves and entering the octagon one more time. But the champ proved to be too much in front of his hometown fans, as he became the all-time leader in UFC wins with a unanimous-decision victory, 48-47, 48-47, 49-46. Also, congrats to @bisping on now holding the record for most wins in UFC history. He's one up on GSP now. — Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) October 9, 2016 Bisping certainly had to

Jonathan Cooper Reportedly Cut By Patriots Before Making New England Debut
by Zack Cox on Sat, Oct 8, 2016 at 2:31PM 4,667 Share this: The Jonathan Cooper era in New England has ended before it truly could begin. The Patriots on Saturday released Cooper, a source told ESPN’s Field Yates. The 26-year-old guard had yet to appear in a game for New England as he continued to recover from a foot injury suffered during the first week of training camp. In a corresponding move, the Patriots signed defensive lineman Woodrow Hamilton off their practice squad, a source told NESN.com’s Doug Kyed. Hamilton will shore up the team’s defensive front, which lacked depth entering Sunday’s matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Cooper’s reported release came three days after he was removed from the Patriots’ injury report for the first time this
Javier Baez Sends Cubs Home Winners In NLDS Game 1 With Winning Home Run
Share this: Maybe that even-year magic has run out. Instead, the Chicago Cubs were the ones who got the last laugh Friday in their National League Division Series Game 1 win over the San Francisco Giants. Javier Baez sent the Cubs home with a 1-0 win thanks to a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning. As a result, Chicago now has a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five-game series. Despite Baez’s homer, the real story was the pitching in this one. Jon Lester threw an absolute gem for the Cubs, shutting out the Giants over eight innings. He only allowed five hits and struck out five. Johnny Cueto was the tough-luck loser, but he still went the distance and allowed only three hits
Terry Francona Hurled His Gum At Dustin Pedroia During ALDS Game 1 Intros
Share this: Terry Francona’s bullpen decisions Thursday night gave baseball fans a lot to chew on. But the Cleveland Indians manager still was able to have some fun before things got started. The Indians defeated Francona’s old team, the Boston Red Sox, in Game 1 of the American League Division Series at Progressive Field. Francona still is very close with several Red Sox players, though, including Dustin Pedroia, who played under “Tito” for six seasons from 2006 to 2011. So, just before Game 1 kicked off, Francona decided to engage in some shenanigans with his former second baseman. When he was introduced before the game, Terry Francona shook the hand of John Farrell and then threw his gum at Dustin Pedroia. — Brian MacPherson (@brianmacp)

Terry Francona’s Bold Bullpen Moves Pay Off Vs. Red Sox, But At What Cost?
Share this: Terry Francona wasn’t about to make the same mistake as Buck Showalter. The Cleveland Indians manager saw his starter, Trevor Bauer, labor through a few rocky innings Thursday in Game 1 of the American League Division Series at Progressive Field. So, in the fifth inning, with Bauer at just 78 pitches and Cleveland holding a one-run lead, Francona decided to take drastic action, pulling Bauer after 4 2/3 innings in favor of star reliever Andrew Miller. Francona’s daring move worked. Miller stopped any momentum the Red Sox’s offense had gained after Sandy Leon’s fifth-inning home run, allowing just one Boston hit over the next two innings while striking out four. After getting two outs in the seventh from right-hander Bryan Shaw, Francona called on closer Cody
