UFC legend Joe Rogan insisted that he doesn’t have a “problem with trans people” and backed transgender MMA star Alana McLaughlin to compete in the sport. McLaughlin, who transitioned from male to female, made her MMA debut last September and secured a win over Celine Provost at a Combate Global event. The 38-year-old featherweight fighter is only the second openly transgender woman to compete inside the octagon after Fallon Fox. Fox, who was heavily criticised by Rogan, was cageside for McLaughlin’s second-round submission victory over Provost. According to Calf Kicker, Rogan isn’t against the idea of McLaughlin fighting in MMA so long as her opponents know she’s…
Alphonso Davies has been going out with PSG Women’s player Jordyn Huitema for a few years and the Bayern Munich asked her out with the most brilliant line. Thet treble-winning Bayern Munich star and his other half, who plays for PSG’s women, answered questions about their relationship in a Q&A for their joint YouTube channel. The football power couple have been together for four-and-a-half years now but it took a long time for Davies to actually ask Huitema out and make it official. When he did though, a 16-year old Davies made sure he popped the big question in memorable fashion and…
For the first time, Conor McGregor has shared a video of his new Lamborghini super-yacht that everyone has been drooling over. But this isn’t just any old clip of the Irishman simply lounging around on it or parking it up in sunny Marbella or something. No, this video shows the yacht in full flight – and the speeds it can reach are pretty damn frightening. In footage posted on Twitter by the UFC megastar, you can see the £2.7 million (AU$5.1 million) Lambo travelling at a rapid pace across empty bright blue waters. The caption read: “There’s the lambo. Going…
Pound-for-pound king Canelo Alvarez has responded to Floyd Mayweather after ‘Money’ said their 2013 fight was “easy” and accused him of “pick and choosing” his fights. 50-0 Mayweather is the only fighter to beat Canelo professionally, claiming a majority decision victory in a clash contested at light middleweight. But despite his triumph eight years ago, Mayweather has continued to talk about Canelo. On Sunday, after his protege Gervonta Davis beat Isaac Cruz, Mayweather took aim at the Mexican boxer during a press conference, saying: “That mother f**ker easy, man. Cakewalk. Easy. Y’all sitting up here praising this dude. This dude was nothing.” Mayweather had also…
It’s the video that has been seen by millions around the world. But the man at the centre of it all has now provided a healthy update as he begins his long, long road to recovery. Late last month, a clip of 23-year-old bodybuilder Ryan Crowley absolutely exploded online. Judging by his social media following, Crowley is probably pretty used to pulling in massive video views through his workout videos. But this one in particular amassed global overnight attention for an entirely different reason altogether. In a video posted on his own Instagram, Crowley can be seen bench pressing a rather large…

’Big’ John Fury has ACCEPTED Jake Paul’s boxing challenge, insisting he could ‘make him look stupid’ in a potential showdown. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has turned his attention to John following the collapse of his fight against Tommy Fury last year. ‘The Problem Child’ has said he’d prefer to face the 57-year-old rather than his son, claiming it could be a bigger attraction. Well, John is not only up for fighting the 25-year-old American but ALSO his father as he issued a defiant response. “If a young man wants to pay me right enough I’ll get in with him,” he told FreeBets. “I’d like to start with…
Chris Weidman snapped his leg by kicking Uriah Hall in the leg, just seconds into their fight at UFC 261, in a weird repeating of history. Weidman’s fight with Hall ended in just 17 seconds officially, with the Jamaican winning by TKO without throwing a single strike or showing any offence. Former middleweight champ Weidman threw a leg kick in the opening seconds of round one but the contact instantly snapped the 36-year-old’s leg. The first man to beat Anderson Silva in UFC instantly went down and the fight was called off by referee Herb Dean with hall being called…
Amy Askren has savagely mocked Jake Paul, calling his pick up lines “weak” after she revealed he slid into her DMs. Ben Askren’s wife has become a part of the narrative ahead of her husband’s boxing bout against Paul. The YouTube star made some lewd comments about her as he branded her “thicc” in an interview with Ariel Helwani. “She thicc bro,” he said. “With two Cs. Like T-h-i-c-c. She’s real thicc. I don’t know. “I just thought she was bad. So maybe after I beat Ben…” Amy responded to his remark and she’s renewed her rivalry with the 24-year-old, taking…
Conor McGregor broke his leg as he lost to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 and the slow motion replay of the moment the injury happened shows how horrific it was. McGregor was looking for retribution against Poirier, having lost to his rival in their second fight earlier in the year in a second round TKO. The Irishman started well at the beginning of the first round but when the fight went to the mat it was Poirier who was on top. McGregor managed to get back to his feet just before the end of the round and when he threw…
