Share this: BUFFALO, N.Y. — At long last, Daniel Cormier finally gets to defend his UFC light heavyweight title belt. Because of a variety of reasons, Cormier hasn’t defended his title belt since October 2015, when he defeated Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 192. But after some controversy at Friday’s weigh-ins almost jeopardized the title fight, the defending champion will be able to face off against Anthony Johnson in a UFC 187 rematch. On the co-main event, Gegard Mousasi and Chris Weidman battle in what’s sure to be a devastating clash among titans that can have major implications on the hierarchy of the weight class. And last but not least, the UFC’s overnight sensation, Pearl Gonzalez, makes her debut in the promotion after her breast

Share this: The Golden State Warriors are piping hot … perhaps thanks to a toaster? The Dubs defeated the Phoenix Suns 120-111 on Wednesday, running their win streak to 13 games. Golden State hasn’t lost since March 11, which (coincidentally?) coincides with just before Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson graciously signed a fan’s toaster. Here’s Thompson’s initial reaction to being asked to sign the toaster on March 13. .@KlayThompson sorry that picture turned into a meme. But thanks for signing my toaster. — Ronnie • GSWToaster (@R_Dollaz) March 14, 2017 Apparently, the fan’s odd request all was part of his quest to have several Golden State players sign the appliance. It’s a journey that began in May 2014, judging by this tweet from the toaster guy himself. The

Geno Auriemma Gets Ripped By Daughter For His Take On Women In Coaching
Share this: Geno Auriemma arguably is the greatest coach in women’s basketball history, but he ruffled some feathers with a controversial take Thursday. The UConn women’s basketball coach is taking heat for his thoughts on why the number of female coaches is declining. “There’s a reason why there’s not as many opportunities for women,” Auriemma told USA Today. “Not as many women want to coach. It’s quite simple.” Not only was Auriemma’s comment not well received by the sports world, it didn’t even go over well with his family. His daughter, Ally, took to Twitter to gave her two cents on her father’s words. I'm pretty sure what dad was trying to say, in a limited, male perspective, is that a lot of avenues are
