Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman was paid a whole bunch of money this offseason to be The Man in the Redskins secondary. Monday night, he was the man getting in fights and watching an All-Pro wide receiver burn somebody else. That’s Redskins safety David Bruton Jr. who is being pushed away from Norman in the video above. Monday was Norman’s first game in a Redskins uniform after spending the first several years of his career with the Carolina Panthers. Washington was burned by the Pittsburgh Steelers offense all night in a 38-16 “Monday Night Football” blowout. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for 300 yards... NESN.com

Conor McGregor Learns From Mistakes, Exacts Revenge Vs. Nate Diaz At UFC 202
Share this: Through the first three rounds, it appeared as though Saturday’s UFC 202 fight between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz was destined for the same result as their first meeting. But this time, McGregor was able to turn the tide. McGregor was the aggressor to start, and he had a very smart strategy. He knew he had to take away Diaz’s right leg so Diaz couldn’t plant it and deliver big strikes as the bout wore on, so that’s exactly what he did. You could tell as the first and second rounds went on that Diaz was starting to lose his plant leg. But Diaz started to regain momentum, and he was the one who started connecting on successful combinations, which started to knock McGregor

It’s finally time for UFC 202. Fight fans have been waiting for this day ever since Nate Diaz scored a stunning victory over Conor McGregor at UFC 196 in March, and for good reason.

This welterweight fight should be one for the ages. The main event card will kick off at 10
Brock Lesnar Destroys Conor McGregor In Amazing Expletive-Filled Rant
Share this: Brock Lesnar has had enough of Conor McGregor. “The Notorious” is known for his controversial comments, but he might have taken things a little too far recently if you ask “The Beast Incarnate.” McGregor recently had some things to say about Lesnar during a conference call prior to his big UFC 202 fight against Nate Diaz, and he even went as far as to say this: “Fair play to Brock, he got in a fight (in UFC). But at the end of the day, he’s juiced up to the (expletive) eyeballs, so how can I respect that?” So what does Lesnar think of this? Well, luckily Sam Roberts found out for us in a pre-SummerSlam interview, which you can read and watch below. But it
Conor McGregor’s Aspirations Go Well Beyond Beating Nate Diaz At UFC 202
Share this: Conor McGregor is focused on Nate Diaz a week out from their epic rematch at UFC 202, but the Irish sensation — obsessed with records and making history — is eyeing not only a second world title, but three before it’s all said and done. “I still envision two or possibly three belts on my shoulder,” McGregor said Friday night. Speaking in front of a small collection of media at a private workout session at his self-made gym in Las Vegas, a relaxed McGregor spoke about the biggest question that always seems to follow him, even before his current matchup: What’s next? McGregor is holding his ground as the featherweight king, but he also wonders what would have been if Rafael dos Anjos

Conor McGregor’s Coach Predicts Result Of UFC 202 Fight With Nate Diaz
Conor McGregor’s coach expects a much different result this time around. McGregor is scheduled to fight Nate Diaz at UFC 202 on Aug. 20 in a rematch of the fighters’ UFC 196 bout, which Diaz won via a second-round submission. McGregor said after his UFC 196 loss that he became tired early in the fight — perhaps a product of him jumping up two weight classes — but the Irishman’s coach, John Kavanagh, doesn’t see that being an issue next month. In fact, Kavanagh is calling his shot, saying recently on Periscope that he expects McGregor to defeat Diaz in the fourth round at UFC 202. This obviously would mean lasting much longer than
