Simon Powell has revealed why his fight at PFL New York was canceled.Powell (12-2) was set for a light heavyweight bout against Dovlet Yagshimuradov (26-8-1) on the main card of the event taking place Friday at UBS Arena in Belmont, N.Y. Wednesday, Powell announced the fight was pulled from the card. Luckily, he will get to keep the same matchup and compete just a week later."It's one of those ones that's out of my control," Powell said in a YouTube video. "It's annoying, but we've just got to keep moving. Got an issue with the athletic state commission here in New York. They won't allow me to fight because of a previous surgery I had. I'm completely fine. I've fought after I had the surgery. There's no issues with me, but it's just because of the surgery I've had, here, they won't allow me to fight. "But the good news is, we are fighting next week in Charlotte. Same opponent, same fight, nothing changes just a different location. So, I'm gonna see you guys next week."PFL Charlotte takes place Friday, Aug. 7, at Bojangles Coliseum, and features a middleweight matchup between Bryan Battle and Dalton Rosta.This article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: Simeon Powell explains PFL New York cancellation, gets new date

The New Orleans Saints have provided another important reference point for the Baltimore Ravens as they consider a long-term extension for Zay Flowers.New Orleans signed Chris Olave to a four-year extension worth up to $132 million, including $90 million guaranteed. The $33 million annual maximum places Olave near the top of a wide receiver market led by Jaxon Smith-Njigba, JaMarr Chase, Drake London and Justin Jefferson, according to Over the Cap.Olave earned the agreement after setting career highs with 100 receptions, 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns last season. His deal carries direct implications for Flowers, another first-round receiver who has developed into his teams leading passing-game option.Chris Olave set career highs across the board last season:100 catches1,163 receiving yards9 TDs https://t.co/ozfI7USnn0 Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 30, 2026Baltimore exercised Flowers fifth-year option in April, guaranteeing him approximately $27.3 million for 2027. He remains scheduled to earn a $2.66 million base salary in 2026, giving the Ravens two seasons of contractual control but little protection against continued growth in the receiver market.Flowers caught 86 passes for a franchise-record 1,211 yards and five touchdowns in 2025. He earned his second consecutive Pro Bowl selection and has produced 237 receptions, 3,128 yards and 14 touchdowns through three seasons.The Olave extension does not guarantee Flowers will receive $33 million or more annually. Contract negotiations will account for guarantees, structure, incentives and each players production. It does, however, give Flowers representatives another comparable deal involving a receiver from the same draft class.Baltimore could wait because Flowers is under contract through 2027. The risk is that another strong season and additional receiver extensions could increase his price.The Ravens already secured Rashod Bateman through 2029, but Flowers remains Lamar Jacksons primary receiver. If Baltimore views him as a long-term cornerstone, Olaves contract strengthens the argument for acting before the market climbs again.This article originally appeared on Ravens Wire: Chris Olaves $132 million deal raises price for Zay Flowers

A fan holds a sign for Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham in reference to her comments on transgender athletes as a fan wearing Seattle Storm gear holds a competing sign during the first half of a WNBA basketball game, Tuesday, July 28, 2026, in Seattle. | Lindsey Wasson, Associated Press Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton was suspended and fined after allegedly yelling expletives at two teenage girls during a WNBA game against the Indiana Fever. The young girls wore XX-XY Athletic shirts and held a sign supporting Fevers Sophie Cunningham courtside that read Thank you Sophie for speaking up for girls and We love you Sophie.The sign is in regard to Cunninghams comments in an ESPN interview about her feelings on transgender athletes in female spaces and sports. I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldnt have to go against biological men, she previously said. I think its kind of common sense. ... I think its really important to protect children, and thats little girls who are also involved in that category. And so I stand on what I said, and I always believe that. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham runs by a fan holding a sign referencing her comments on transgender athletes and women's sports during the first half of a WNBA basketball game against the Seattle Storm, Tuesday, July 28, 2026, in Seattle. | Lindsey Wasson, Associated Press The teenage girls said they were on edge the whole night and nervous to show their sign when Keaton apparently approached the girls and asked what they were doing.The girls then said Keaton told them that Jesus loves everyone and that she hoped Jesus would forgive them for the sin they had committed, followed by her allegedly telling the two girls that they were (expletive) insane and you better stop pulling this (expletive).Independent Seattle-based journalist Brandi Kruse, who accompanied the girls, said she tried to get security to help but was told to email the front office.

DETROIT Wyndham Clark threw a strike at the Tigers game. But the reigningU.S. Openchampion struck outin Round 1 of the Rocket Classicat Detroit Golf Club on Thursday.While much of the field was going super-low early, Clark struggled to a 1-over 71 and will need to go low Friday to make the cut into the weekend.Either way, it's not likely to dampen his season he's won twice, including his second major championship or his week, given Michigan has become a bit of an adopted home."I mean, I've always enjoyed coming here," Clark said this week. "Now, I have a little more of a family relationship here. My girlfriend's from this area, so that makes it really fun."Kind of a home week, it feels like."Clark, 32, isdating Metro Detroit native Emily Tanner, 31, an Instagram model, social-media influencer and Michigan State alumna who also is enjoying her week back home.Clark lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Tanner lives in Los Angeles, but they've been doing a bit of summering in Michigan, including some lake time over the July 4 holiday. Tanner and her friends and family were expected in the gallery all week at Detroit Golf Club."For her to come home, see her friends and kind of show me her stomping grounds has been amazing," Clark said.Before the tournament started Thursday, Clark and Tanner attended Tuesday night's Tigers-Baltimore Orioles game at Comerica Park, where Clark threw the ceremonial first pitch and it was a beauty, a fastball right down the middle. Tigers third-base coach Billy Boyer caught the pitch and told Clark it was the best first pitch of the season.Clark wore a No. 2 Tigers jersey, perhaps for his two U.S. Opens, the latest coming last month at Shinnecock Hills in New York, where he celebrated with an embrace of Tanner on the 18th green.Clark has called Tanner his "good-luck charm" since they started dating. They went public at the Masters in April, when she caddied for him in that week's Par 3 Contest."It's just fun to be there and support him," Tanner told Johnny Kane on Detroit SportsNet before Tuesday's Tigers game. "And, you know, watching someone you love do what they love."Right down the middle Perfect strike from @Wyndham_Clark's first pitch last night.@Tigers | @MLBpic.twitter.com/6ZfD69ug2r PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) July 29, 2026Clark was loving his round early Thursday, but not so much late. Starting on the back nine, he made birdies at the par-5 14th and par-3 15th to get to 2 under, but he stumbled on the back with bogeys at the long par-4 sixth and seventh holes. Clark also found the left bunker on the long par-3 ninth and couldn't get up-and-down, finishing with 71 to leave him 10 shots back of early leader Peter Malnati.Clark has been on a heater since May, with four top-10s in seven starts, including two wins. He missed the cut in his last tournament, the British Open earlier this month.He's ranked ninth in the Official World Golf Ranking and fourth in the FedEx Cup Playoffs standings. Clark is playing the Rocket Classic for the fourth time. He finished tied for eighth in 2022."A bummer that we're not coming back next year," Clark said. The Rocket Classic is finished after this year, but Clark won't be a stranger. After all, he's got many more lakes to see, and, oh, the Tigers still need bullpen help.tpaul@detroitnews.comThis article originally appeared on Golfweek: After first pitch at Tigers game, Wyndham Clark hopes he doesn't strike out at Rocket Classic
