Share this: Formula One heads to one of the shortest tracks on the calendar this weekend for the 2017 Austrian Grand Prix. Red Bull Racing doesn’t look capable of fighting for a win in its home race at the Red Bull Ring, as both of its drivers will start from the third row of the grid. Valtteri Bottas, however, will try to win from first-place on the grid for the first time after clinching his second career pole Saturday. All eyes will be on the two drivers starting behind Bottas, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton, to see if there still is any bad blood between the two following their much-discussed collision in Azerbaijan.

Valentina Shevchenko Rips Amanda Nunes Over Failed Weight Cut, UFC 213 Pull-Out
Share this: LAS VEGAS — Valentina Shevchenko had lots to say about Amanda Nunes’ decision to pull out of their UFC 213 women’s bantamweight championship fight Saturday night. Shevchenko, the top-ranked contender, posted a statement on Instagram shortly after UFC 213 started at T-Mobile Arena, and she unpacked her frustration about Nunes. A bad weight cut certainly makes sense, as “illness” was cited for Nunes’ exit, although she hasn’t commented. However, UFC president Dana White later said Nunes was medically cleared to face Shevchenko, so who knows what’s happening behind the scenes. What isn’t happening is UFC 213’s biggest draw, and the UFC offered fans a full refund of their tickets if they desired. Thumbnail photo via Mark J. Rebilas/USA TODAY Sports Images Related NESN.com

UFC 213 Live Stream: Watch Amanda Nunes Vs. Valentina Shevchenko 2 Online
Share this: Amanda Nunes defeated Valentina Shevchenko 16 months ago to earn a shot at the UFC women’s bantamweight title. They will meet again Saturday night at UFC 213 in Las Vegas, with Nunes now the champion and Shevchenko a well-respected challenger out for revenge. Nunes clubbed Miesha Tate to win the belt, then dominated Ronda Rousey to keep it, but Shevchenko took the Lioness to three full rounds before losing in a unanimous decision. That leads some to believe Bullet might have the upper hand in a five-round bout, should Saturday’s meeting go that far. Nunes-Shevchenko 2 is the co-main event at T-Mobile Arena, with Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker’s interim middleweight title fight also topping the card. The winner likely
Red Sox’s Drew Pomeranz Finding Success With More Assertive Approach
Share this: Drew Pomeranz has been a pleasant surprise for the Boston Red Sox this season. Entering Friday, the left-hander has an 8-4 record as well as a respectable 3.64 ERA. Pomeranz certainly has improved since the Red Sox acquired him at the trade deadline last year, and manager John Farrell credits that to a number of things. Farrell believes Pomeranz has been more assertive in the strike zone, and has found success by getting ahead in the count. Not only that, but the addition of a cutter to his repertoire has made his fastball and nasty curveball even more effective. To hear a full breakdown of the changes Pomeranz has made, check out the video above from “Red Sox Gameday Live,” presented by DCU. Thumbnail
