Max Holloway beat Conor McGregor in an anticlimactic UFC 329 main event Saturday that ended in the first round after McGregor hurt his leg in the opening seconds of the fight.The show outside the octagon failed to deliver too, as UFC president Dana White called out his production team for misidentifying one of the celebrities he paid to attend the fight. Something he said happens frequently.On Saturday, his disappointment came from UFC confusing boxing champion Shakur Stevenson for Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jalen Williams. Thankfully, White had a broadcaster who was able to call out the mistake in real time.The UFC graphic department just mistaken Shakur Stevenson as Jalen Williams from the OKC Thunder and commentator had to let them know#UFC329pic.twitter.com/8DEpaSei3f Ahmed/The Ears/IG: BigBizTheGod (@big_business_) July 12, 2026"I just paid Shakur Stevenson a s---load of money, and for some reason we can't figure this celebrity s--- out," White said in an NSFW rant after the event.With the WNBA's Sophie Cunningham also making an appearance as a UFC ring girl, celebrities were a clear part of the attraction Saturday night. But the team didn't execute the plan, because apparently all Black people look alike.After all these years, this certainly seems like something UFC should be better at.This article originally appeared on For The Win: UFC's Dana White ripped his own company in NSFW rant on celebrity mixups

Senegal fired its mens football coach Pape Thiaw, according to a statement issued by the national federation on Sunday. The Senegalese Football Federation added that Thiaw's technical staff were also dismissed. The decision followed Senegals elimination in the round of 32 at the ongoing World Cup. "After an evaluation of the performance of the national team and its prospects, the Executive Committee believes that a change is necessary in the interest of Senegalese football," the federation said. Thiaw, 45, was appointed in 2024 and led the West African nation to a disputed continental title in Morocco earlier this year before the victory was overturned by the Confederation of African Football. Senegal has approached the Court of Arbitration for Sport about appealing the decision. Senegal was eliminated from the World Cup by Belgium despite leading 2-0 with roughly five minutes of regulation time remaining. The team also came close to elimination in the group stage after losses to France and Norway. Reporting by The Associated Press.

Brendon McCullum became England Test head coach in May 2022 [Getty Images]Brendon McCullum has been sacked as Test coach in another staggering twist in the unravelling of the England team.Two weeks after Ben Stokes made the stunning announcement to step down as captain and retire from international cricket, McCullum's exit brings a definitive end to the Bazball era.The New Zealander will continue as England's white-ball coach, but he leaves the Test team following a string of poor results and several off-field incidents.Director of cricket Rob Key will remain in position, with the decision to remove McCullum coming after the hierarchy of the England and Wales Cricket Board spent time reflecting on the situation surrounding the men's team."I've absolutely loved coaching the Test side and I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved together," said McCullum. "There've been some unbelievable highs and a few tough days along the way, but that's all part of taking on a challenge like this."Of course I'm gutted not to be continuing, but I respect the decision. My focus now is on giving everything I've got to the white-ball teams and helping England keep moving forward."England have lost seven of their past nine Tests, including the 4-1 Ashes hammering in Australia.McCullum, Stokes and Key were backed to remain in charge following that defeat, only for England to be beaten 2-1 by New Zealand.The defeat by the Black Caps England's first in a home series of at least three Tests for 14 years was overshadowed by a nightclub incident involving Stokes and Gus Atkinson, then Stokes' abrupt retirement.Now, the England Test team has no head coach and no captain, with the next series against Pakistan beginning on 19 August.Harry Brook appears favourite to be named as Test captain, though that appointment could now hinge on the identity of the next head coach.Since 1999, England have had only two English head coaches of the Test team. Peter Moores did the job twice, while Chris Silverwood was McCullum's predecessor.Zimbabwean Andy Flower, who was in charge when England won the Ashes in Australia in 2010-11, would be the standout candidate to replace McCullum, though it is not known if he could be lured from the franchise world.Homegrown candidates might include Glamorgan head coach Richard Dawson, or his fellow former England spinner Gareth Batty, now in charge at Surrey. Legendary former all-rounder Andrew Flintoff is head coach of England Lions but has previously said he does not want the job with the senior team.Australian Ryan Campbell has impressed at Durham, while ex-Australia coach Darren Lehmann is now head coach at Northants.In remaining as white-ball coach, McCullum can continue to build on the improvements made by England's limited-overs team. The victory over India on Saturday gave England a 4-0 T20 series win over the world champions and put them at number one in the world rankings.McCullum combined the Test and white-ball roles in 2024, two years after he first took charge of the Test team. When he arrived as Test coach in 2022, he initially embarked on a spell of superb results earned with some breathtaking cricket.The partnership with Stokes the Bazball style revitalised an England team who had won only one of their previous 17 Tests.With some swashbuckling batting, England earned famous wins over New Zealand at Trent Bridge, India at Edgbaston and Pakistan in Rawalpindi, the latter the beginning of a 3-0 series win. Overall, England won 10 of their first 11 Tests under McCullum and Stokes.However, since that initial period of success, England have lost 19 and won 17 of 38 Tests, beginning with a heart-stopping one-run defeat by New Zealand in Wellington, sustained after England enforced the follow-on.England fell 2-0 down in the home Ashes of 2023 yet turned it around to draw 2-2, and they perhaps would have won the urn had rain not washed out almost the entire last two days of the fourth Test at Old Trafford.The tour of India in 2024 began with another famous win in Hyderabad, only to decline into a 4-1 series defeat.On returning home from India, Stokes, McCullum and Key set their sights on the Ashes tour of 2025-26, including ending the career of England's all-time leading wicket-taker James Anderson.England formed a plan to hit Australia with pace and assembled arguably their most hostile attack in more than 50 years for the trip down under.But the tour fell apart in a blur of inadequate planning, poor performances and allegations of a drinking culture.After playing only one warm-up match against the Lions, England were in a strong position in the first Test in Perth 105 runs ahead with nine wickets in hand shortly after lunch on the second day. In an astonishing implosion, England were beaten before the day was out and never recovered.Although England won the fourth Test in Melbourne, their first win in Australia for 14 years, their performances elsewhere were abject a threadbare squad left ill-prepared for the demands of such a tour.Off the field, England's reputation was affected by their public drinking in Noosa, when opener Ben Duckett was filmed, apparently drunk.Worse was to come at the end of the Ashes tour, when it emerged Brook had been struck by a nightclub bouncer in Wellington on the eve of a one-day international on the tour of New Zealand that preceded the trip to Australia.After they were backed to remain in their jobs, McCullum and Stokes attempted to distance themselves from rumours of a rift that had supposedly developed in Australia.England added to their backroom staff to aid preparation and implemented a midnight curfew in an attempt to avoid further controversy.There was optimism when they won the first Test of the home summer against New Zealand at Lord's. However, the nightclub incident that unfolded when Stokes was celebrating that win sparked the chain of events that has left England in turmoil.McCullum's contract with the white-ball team runs to the end of the 50-over World Cup in southern Africa next autumn.Now, England must find a head coach of the Test team who can work alongside McCullum's big character and relaxed approach.'It began with a bang, it ended with a bang'Analysis by chief cricket commentator Jonathan AgnewIt began with a bang, it ended with a bang. You read the ECB stuff and you wonder why they've sacked him. It's extraordinary things they've said here he leaves the Test team well set and poised to achieve great things, so why have they sacked him?They sacked him because of a lot of ill-discipline, the Ashes an awful lot was said about that both on and off the field. Off the field is just as important here. The lack of discipline there has been. That, I suspect, has been [ECB chief executive] Richard Gould's primary concern here.He looks at the cricketing landscape, particularly in the men's team, and it's like it's been napalmed. The image of the men's game is very, very poor. They have to be seen to be gaining discipline and taking more control of the English game.Who will come in? No idea at all. I don't think it will be someone as loose and that was very positive at the start. It's important to remember that when McCullum and Stokes did take over, English cricket was in a real mess and they did revolutionise it and they won 10 of the first 11 Test matches they played together and in wonderful, unforgettable ways.I'll be very interested to see who they appoint as coach. At the moment all the really top ones seem to be very comfortably positioned with the nice pickings of franchise cricket that pays them well and means they're not away from home for months and I don't think there's the scrutiny that the England coach has. He really is under the spotlight, like the England captain.The highs and lows of BazballMcCullum & Key should go in 'complete clearout' - Vaughan

The trade deadline is just a few weeks away

Hello, and welcome to the 2026 White SoxMLB draft tracker!Below, youll find every pick the White Sox make, with links to our individual stories on site for the five picks in the first four rounds.Right off the bat, the White Sox dispelled any notion that they would zag instead of zig, picking the longtime and near-universal No. 1 prospect in a top-heavy class, Roch Cholowsky.While last year was a shortstop draft, 2026 went hard for hitters, particularly outfielders (eight of the first 20 picks, and every pick from No. 5-9). Just three pitchers went in the Top 20, and just one arm (Jackson Flora, Giants, No. 4) before pick 18.All of the first nine position player prospects this year (through pick No. 14) are shortstops. Getting deeper into the round, 12 of 21 picks were shortstops, still almost exclusively among position players.On Day 2, the White Sox finally got their first overall pick vibe that shoulda/woulda been theirs in any other past draft, and at No. 106 did not quite take the top remaining talent on the board.Note, all picks with breakout stories on site are linked below. Picks on Sunday (Rounds 5-20) who fall outside of MLBs Top 250 without a truly distinguishing trait wont have individual stories published on site, but merely will show up here on our tracker.2026 MLB draftDay 1: Saturday, July 11 (Rounds 1-4)Noon-12:30 p.m. CT Preview show (NBC/Peacock)12:30-1:30 p.m. CT Lottery picks 1-10 (NBC/Peacock)1:30-3:30 p.m. CT Picks 11-40 (MLB Network, MLB.com, MLB.TV, MLB+)3:30-6:45 p.m. CT Picks 41-135 (MLB.com, MLB.TV, MLB+)Day 2: Sunday, July 12 (Rounds 5-20)10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. CT Rounds 5-20 (MLB.com, MLB.TV, MLB+)White Sox picksFirst Round (No. 1) Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLACholowsky was the consensus No. 1 pick pretty much since the end of last years draft, with an MLB-ready bat and glove. We could see him in Chicago as soon as September.Competitive Balance Round A (via Pirates) (No. 34) Landon Thome, 2B/3B, Nazareth Academy (Ill.)The White Sox telegraphed this pick with last nights trade, as Thome was falling right around this slot in predraft rankings and the club did not want to gamble on him falling to their second-round pick (No. 41). Thome is likely to shift off of his prep spot, shortstop, as his hitting and speed are more advanced than his glove. Thome will quickly join Nazareth teammate Jaden Fauske, taken by the Sox in the second round a year ago, in Low-A Kannapolis.Second Round (No. 41) Cole Prosek, 2B, Magnolia Heights (Miss.) H.S.Prosek was ranked as the No. 27 talent in the draft, meaning that the White Sox snagged a first-round talent about a dozen picks lower than they should have. He and Thome both might take a bit of an over-slot offer to sign, but the White Sox have oodles of bonus money to wave their way. Prosek is another bat-first talent who can hold his own defensively, and the 18-year-old (turns 19 in three days) packs a wrinkle into his game he just started playing catcher this past season.Third Round (No. 77) Joey Volchko, RHSP, University of GeorgiaThe White Sox opt for an arm four picks in, grabbing this electric righty from Georgia. Hes a definite project, however, with some concerning contradictions: his mid-90s fastball (that can run up to 101 mph) has little movement and thereby is hittable, while his breaking stuff (splitter/change and curve) cannot be thrown for strikes. His upside remains a No. 2 or 3 starter, and the downside not getting out of A-ball.Fourth Round (No. 105) Eric Segura, RHP, Oregon State UniversitySegura is the first pick of the draft where the White Sox moved on a player ranked lower on the MLB draft board, as this righty was ranked just 196th by MLB Pipeline. Beyond this possibly being a cost-cutting pick to push some extra money at other selections, Segura seems to always outkick his coverage. He bulled his way into the Beavers rotation as a freshman hurler, and after a year in the pen ran with a rotation opportunity once more, improving his control and putting up a 2.22 ERA that was one of the 10 best in Division I.Fifth Round (No. 137) Cal Scolari, RHP, University of OregonScolari has significant injury history TJS wiped out his high school senior and college freshman seasons but brings a powerful fastball (running up to 98 mph) to the system. His background screams reliever, but his solid mechanics and pitch mix put Scolari in the running for rotation work when the time comes for his pro debut.Sixth Round (No. 166)Seventh Round (No. 195)Eighth Round (No. 225)Ninth Round (No. 255)10th Round (No. 285)The pool the White Sox will have to sign their first 10 picks is $20,489,500.11th Round (No. 315)12th Round (No. 345)13th Round (No. 375)14th Round (No. 405)15th Round (No. 435)16th Round (No. 465)17th Round (No. 495)18th Round (No. 525)19th Round (No. 555)20th Round (No. 585)
