Performance of the Night: Islam Dulatov
Islam Dulatov (12-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has his latest male modeling job coming up Monday, which is why it was a good thing he took basically no damage in a quick first-round knockout of Adam Fugitt (10-5 MMA, 2-3 UFC) in his UFC debut.

Countdown to Kickoff: Zach Wood is the Saints Player of Day 49
Wood is one of the NFL's most consistent players at his position We have less than 50 days before the New Orleans Saints embark on their 59th NFL season with a regular season opener at home against the Arizona Cardinals. Wearing No. 49 for new coach Kellen Moore's crew is an underappreciated member of the roster, long snapper Zach Wood. Entering his ninth season with New Orleans, Wood is one of the longest-tenured Saints and longest-tenured long snappers in the NFL. Our Saints Player of the Day, here's a deeper dive into his background. At Rowlett High School, Wood was an honorable mention all-state defensive tackle before committing to Southern Methodist University. As a defensive end in a 3-4 front for the Mustangs, Wood started 33 contests over his last three seasons. He gathered 8.5 sacks and forced 2 fumbles while also blocking 4 kicks and serving as the team's long snapper. After not being selected in the 2016 NFL draft, Wood was signed to an undrafted deal by the Dallas Cowboys. He didn't make the Dallas roster as a defensive lineman, but was brought back the following offseason on a reserve/future contract as a long snapper. Wood was again cut by the Cowboys at the conclusion of the preseason. This time, he was picked up by Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints. Wood won the long snapper job with New Orleans after a tryout. He'd remain in that role for the last 132 consecutive games. Wood has been one of the league's most consistent players at his often overlooked position. In 2022, he earned 2nd Team All-Pro recognition from Pro Football Focus. After a series of one-year contracts, New Orleans awarded him for his consistently with a four-year deal in 2023. There are a lot of questions surrounding the Saints roster heading into this season. However, long snapper is not one of those positions, thanks to the capabilities of Zach Wood.

WNBA All-Star Game winners, losers: ‘Pay Us' shirts, Napheesa Collier record, Indy as host
The WNBA's midseason showcase is officially over after Indianapolis took center stage. The festivities were capped by Team Collier's 151-131 victory over Team Clark. From Friday night's skills competition and 3-point contest to Saturday night's record-breaking performances, the All-Star Game mostly delivered — even without Caitlin Clark, whose injury prevented her from competing in the events as her Indiana Fever played host. But there's always room for improvement. Here are the winners and losers from 2025 All-Star Weekend. Lynx guards Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman provided fans with a behind-the-scenes look at All-Star festivities. They streamed the entire few days on Twitch, broadcasting everything from conversations in their hotel room to parties to locker room scenes. Among the highlights: • 'Stud Budz' capturing commissioner Cathy Engelbert dancing to Crime Mob's 'Knuck If You Buck' at a party on Friday night. Advertisement • Storm star Nneka Ogwumike walking into Williams' hotel room Saturday morning to alert her to an upcoming WNBPA meeting. • Fever star Aliyah Boston taking a drink away from Caitlin Clark at a party while Clark was on-screen, and Williams providing an almost-instant reaction to Thursday's CBA meeting. ''Stud Budz' has been the highlight of everybody's weekend,' Collier said. That's a sentiment felt by many. Continuing with the Lynx theme, Collier was the star of Saturday's All-Star Game. Not only was she efficient, making 13 of her 16 shots en route to setting an All-Star single-game points record, but as captain she picked a winning team that also set the record for most points. Collier has been one of the two MVP front-runners in the first half of the season, and Minnesota has the league's best record. Collier continued her positive momentum in Indianapolis with another standout performance. One play, two WNBA All-Star Game records 🔥 ◽️ Napheesa Collier — Most PTS in the ASG (36+) ◽️ Skylar Diggins — Most AST in the ASG (12+) 🎥 @WNBA — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) July 20, 2025 Though the women's basketball world descended to Indy for the All-Star Game, Unrivaled also had a strong presence around the festivities. Saturday was an important day for Unrivaled, as it announced NIL deals with 14 of the top players in college basketball: LSU's Flau'jae Johnson, JuJu Watkins, Hannah Hidalgo, Sarah Strong, Azzi Fudd and Olivia Miles. Strong, Hidalgo, Fudd and Texas' Madison Booker told reporters that they hope to play in the league once they enter the professional ranks, as the upstart winter league continues to show signs of longevity in the basketball landscape. Unrivaled launched last year as a winter professional women's 3×3 league, co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Collier. NEWS: Unrivaled is signing 14 women's college basketball players to NIL deals. The signing class includes players such as JuJu Watkins, Lauren Betts, Hannah Hidalgo, Azzi Fudd and Flau'jae Johnson. — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) July 19, 2025 Even amid Caitlin Clark's absence from all of the competitions due to injury,downtown Indianapolis was still the epicenter of the women's basketball world. Fever three-time All-Star Kelsey Mitchell assumed the de facto host role, welcoming fans to the game on Saturday, but by that point, the city had already made a strong impression. Advertisement 'It was an incredible weekend,' Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum said. 'This is my fourth time, and I thought by far it was the most packed, not just from the game standpoint, but 3-point contest, skills contest. The Orange Carpet was live. Every event that I saw that a player was doing was absolutely packed.' There was WNBA-related signage all over the city — in the airport and on streets — with the city putting up speciality street signs for all 13 teams. It would have been almost impossible to miss the presence of the event. Ionescu had 12 points in 20 minutes of All-Star Game action, but her performance on Friday night in the 3-point contest will be one of the lasting memories. She made 11 3s in a row at one point in her final round and dazzled the Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd. After becoming only the second multi-time 3-point contest winner, Ionescu called Stephen Curry after her performance to celebrate, and she created a viral moment when discussing what she plans to do with the $60,000 bonus she receives from Aflac and the WNBPA for winning. (She's going to give half to Mystics rookie Sonia Citron.) Players recognized an opportunity and used it to highlight their case for increasing salaries as part of the ongoing CBA negotiations. They wore shirts during pregame warmups that read, 'Pay Us What You Owe Us.' During the on-court trophy presentation, fans broke into a 'Pay Them' chant, and Mystics guard Brittney Sykes stood behind Engelbert with a sign that said 'Pay The Players,' which was clearly visible on the ABC broadcast. For the players, getting this messaging out more broadly is a win. The talks between the WNBA and the WNBPA loomed over the events. The sides met Thursday afternoon, with more than 40 players — a record, per the WNBPA —at the bargaining session. Liberty star Breanna Stewart characterized the meeting as a 'wasted opportunity,' while Plum said the sides still have a 'long way to go.' WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert called the meeting 'constructive' and said she still has confidence a deal can be reached before the Oct. 31 deadline, but the labor situation appears tense. 'Pay them!' WNBA All-Star fans drowned out commissioner Cathy Engelbert during her presentation of the game's MVP award. With several CBA conversations in Indy this weekend, players warmed up in shirts that read 'Pay Us What You Owe Us.' — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) July 20, 2025 Friday night's events to kick off All-Star Weekend were undoubtedly successful and exciting. Natasha Cloud won the skills challenge and Ionescu won the 3-point contest. But the two events wrapped up in 70 minutes, leaving a feeling that fans deserved even more. There are more than enough WNBA stars who would be interested and eager to participate in more events. Engelbert acknowledged that change might be coming. Advertisement 'We'll definitely be looking at different ideas, different formats beyond the skills and 3-point (contest),' Englebert said. 'We're going to look at that and hopefully deliver something in the future on that.' The WNBA has come a long way since broadcasting such events on Friday afternoon of All-Star Weekend, as was the case as recently as 2023, but more can be done. Perhaps the league should copy Unrivaled's one-on-one tournament. Welp. If fans wanted to see a competitive All-Star Game, they should have elected to watch last year's exhibition between Team USA and the WNBA All-Stars instead of the 2025 showcase. Of course, the formats are different, and last year's exhibition — won 117-109 by Team WNBA — served as an important tune-up for the U.S. Olympic team before the Paris Games. But it's still hard to avoid comparing the contests. Team Collier and Team Clark combined to score 142 first-half points on Saturday, and Team Collier's 151 points set an All-Star Game record. Stewart said afterward that the quick turnaround between the first half and the second half of the season contributes to the quality of Saturday's play. 'Our game is a little bit competitive, but not as much as you probably want or the viewer wants, but we play on Tuesday, and it's Saturday,' Stewart said. 'So it would be lovely to be able to have a little bit more time to rest and relax, because what we do this weekend is a sprint.' The streak is finally over! Record breaking performance 🏆 Napheesa Collier is your #2025WNBAAllStar MVP!#PhantomCam — WNBA (@WNBA) July 20, 2025 For the first since 2013, a guard did not win All-Star MVP. The Athletic asked Plum about the streak pregame. 'Don't jinx it. They get all the love,' she said, while knocking on the floor. There were some standout guard performances: Skylar Diggins recorded the first triple-double in All-Star Game history, Mitchell scored 20 points, and Allisha Gray had 18 points, but Saturday night was about the forwards. In addition to Collier's performance, Mystics rookie Kiki Iriafen posted a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double, Valkyries All-Star Kayla Thornton had a 15-point, 11-rebound double-double, and Ogwumike scored 16 points to move into second place for most career All-Star points.

Dustin Poirier's final war: Even in defeat, UFC legend retires with storybook fight
Dustin Poirier couldn't have gone out any other way. For over 15 years, he left jaws on the floor of every arena he fought in. Millions of fans fell in love with the scrappy striker from Lafayette, La., who had blistering combinations, a relentless pace and an unshakable willingness to bite down on his mouthpiece and trade punches. Advertisement Entering Saturday night's UFC 319 main event, Poirier promised this would be it. One final war, one final memory, no matter how his trilogy bout against fellow beloved striker Max Holloway ended. For the 32nd and final time, Poirier exited a UFC octagon bloodied, grateful and, like so many times before, to a standing ovation, even with Holloway's hand being raised as the victor via unanimous decision (48-47, 49-46, 49-46). 'Man, it's been overwhelming,' Poirier said afterward. 'I feel appreciated, I feel seen. I've never got to step outside of fighting and look at it this way … I feel loved by the fans, Louisiana and the company. It's been incredible.' Holloway proved to be the perfect dance partner for Poirier's swan song. Fighting in front of Poirier's rabid home crowd in New Orleans, Holloway settled into a strong groove in the first round, knocking Poirier down with a straight right hand as the chanting crowd was quickly hushed. Then, all hell broke loose in the second. In the first half of the round, Poirier got dropped again, that time by a gnarly uppercut, which Holloway followed with damaging ground strikes. A minute later, however, Poirier turned back the clock and floored Holloway with a vintage four-punch combo that had the Smoothie King Center roaring back out of their seats. By the third, Poirier was doubling up on his jabs while Holloway was stringing six-strike combos together. By the fourth, both men were bloodied, exchanging flurry after flurry. By the fifth, no one was sitting — every punch looked like it might end the fight. At final tally, Holloway threw and landed more shots. Poirier connected with more power. As the final horn rang, the only unhappy people in the arena may have been the three judges who had to determine the winner. In the end, 'The Diamond' still got his storybook ending, even in defeat. Advertisement 'I didn't know I touched as many people as I did just by chasing my dreams. I'm forever grateful, I love you all. I'm a kid living my dream,' he said. After a tribute video narrated by numerous legendary UFC champions, Poirier couldn't hold back his tears as he gave his final thanks to the promotion and the fanbase. 'Thank you for following my journey and playing a part of it,' he told The Athletic he wanted to tell his longtime supporters. 'I've always given my all. I've never cut corners; I was always dedicated. I really gave this sport my all, and I appreciate everybody who followed the journey, man. … So I'm just thankful for the sport, thankful for the fans. Thanks for the company, and it's been a blessing, man.' There was no championship gold on the line Saturday, but there was symbolic silver. The BMF belt, which Holloway won by knocking out Justin Gaethje in a 2024 thriller, was on the line, and Holloway leaves New Orleans as the first BMF champion to ever defend the belt. 'I love you Louisiana, I know I had to be the villain and I'm sorry, but thank you for the hospitality,' Holloway told the crowd afterward before stepping out of the way, 'This ain't my moment, I'm done talking, this is Dustin's retirement fight, give it up for the man.' With his gloves left in the octagon, Poirier's career ends with a record of 30-10 (22-9 in the UFC). Entering the night, Poirier had never previously lost twice in a row. Holloway was facing the tarnishing of his legacy by going 0-3 in two separate high-profile trilogies. Something had to give, someone had to lose and the fans were bound to win. Laying the gloves down 🫡 [ #UFC318 | @DustinPoirier ] — UFC (@ufc) July 20, 2025 The pair's first battle came in 2012, which marked Holloway's UFC debut. Fighting on the UFC 143 prelims, the featherweight youngsters gave a glimpse of the striking legends they would become before Poirier pulled off a stunning triangle armbar. When they faced again in 2019, Holloway's career was in the stratosphere. 'Blessed' entered the rematch, which was for the interim lightweight title, as the featherweight champion riding a 13-fight winning streak and having defended his title three times. But that night belonged to Poirier as the Louisianian showcased his power advantage on the feet and unbreakable cardio in the championship rounds to win via unanimous decision. Advertisement It would go down as Poirier's lone night of walking out of a UFC octagon holding gold, a fleeting moment of championship validation in a career showered with arenas of adoration. But Poirier said he doesn't look back with any regrets or frustrations for what could have been. 'My goal from the beginning was to find out how good of a fighter I could be, and I did that,' he told The Athletic. 'I did everything that I had and gave everything that I had to put myself in that position to fight the best guys in the world and to travel and learn from the best people in the world and dedicate myself to the sport to find out how good I could be and how far I could take this. And I did. I walked those steps and did this journey and found out.' He would lose that belt to Khabib Nurmagomedov in a title unification bout later that year and find himself staring down a career crossroads. Continue chasing the belt, and risk becoming a divisional gatekeeper who couldn't win the big one but seemingly beat everyone else? Or chase the paychecks, cash in on his acclaim and pick the flashiest fights at the risk of his resume. In typical Poirier fashion, he picked both. He first waged a bloodstained war against Dan Hooker, a legendary slugfest that Poirier told The Athletic was one of his favorite memories as a fighter. Then came two timeless clashes with kingpin Conor McGregor in 2021 — the first a second-round ending in a knockout as Poirier stunned the MMA world, the second in a gruesome leg injury that left McGregor sidelined for good. #OnThisDay in 2021: @DustinPoirier became the first man to KO Conor McGregor 👊 Watch all three of their fights back on @UFCFightPass today! — UFC (@ufc) January 24, 2023 Poirier parlayed the fame of those wins into title shots against Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev, both of which Poirier lost via submission. But between those setbacks were wins that re-established his legitimacy, first by crushing Michael Chandler and second by dismantling Benoît Saint-Denis. Advertisement But after the Makhachev loss in 2024, Poirier said he was at peace with the fighting chapter of his life coming to an end. 'That was my third title shot at undefeated gold, and I just don't know if I have it in me to put together what it's gonna take to get a fourth crack at a world title,' Poirier said. The damage on his 36-year-old body had piled up after 40-plus fights, particularly so after the Makhachev battle. A week after the loss, Poirier said he was dealing with a broken nose, broken rib and a partially torn ACL. With a family waiting at home and his legacy more than secure, Poirier was ready to leave his gloves in the cage for good, with no illusions of looking back. This was it. 'I have a daughter at home, have a bunch of businesses that keep me super busy back in Louisiana and my wife's pregnant. It's just a time in my life where I want to leave this sport healthy,' he said last week. 'And that's just it, be a dad. Be home, be normal. … I don't know what it is to be like a normal civilian, not a fighter. I want to see what that's like.'
