Luke Rockhold rails on 'dumbass sport' bareknuckle boxing, suggests bareknuckle kickboxing
Luke Rockhold is not sold on bare-knuckle boxing as a sport. The former UFC middleweight champion tried his hand at bare-knuckle boxing when he fought Mike Perry at BKFC 41 in April 2023. Rockhold broke his teeth in a second-round TKO loss. "Bare-knuckle boxing is not a fight," Rockhold told MMA Fighting. "I realized going in there, I'm not losing my f*cking teeth without using everything I've worked for my whole life. People are f*cking dumb. That's a dumbass sport. Metal (ropes) that you just hit, and they throw you back into the brawl. There's no way to gauge that distance, and it's like who's willing to lose their face first for f*cking nothing." Rockhold says he would consider bare-knuckle boxing if they added one more element to the ruleset. "One thing that I would do that I think is way more badass, and not so f*cking stupid, because you can't gauge distance in bare-knuckle boxing," Rockhold said. "I would do bare-knuckle kickboxing. I would f*cking rematch Mike Perry and put him to sleep. I don't think he wants that. "There's no way to gauge distance in bare-knuckle boxing, and they've got metal ropes, you're just bouncing in and out. Bare-knuckle kickboxing, I think there would be actually some technique to it, and I think that would be badass. That would be a real, real fight, and that would be fun. I'd f*ck somebody up in that." Rockhold will try his hand at boxing when he takes on fellow ex-UFC fighter Darren TIll in the Misfits Boxing 22: Ring of Thrones main event on Aug. 30 at AO Arena from Manchester, England.

Panthers CB Jaycee Horn says this WR has been 'impossible to guard' in training camp
"He's been impossible to guard..." 🤯Pro Bowl CB Jaycee Horn says Hunter Renfrow is making plays out of the slot — and that Jimmy Horn Jr.'s "game-changing speed" has stood out ⚡️@heykayadams | @jayceehorn_10 | @Panthers #KeepPounding The comeback story of Carolina Panthers wideout Hunter Renfrow just keeps getting better and better. Following this morning's outing at training camp, cornerback Jaycee Horn joined the set for Friday's episode of Up & Adams. When asked by host Kay Adams about the team's receivers, the Pro Bowl defender had quite the praise for a few guys—including Renfrow . . . Renfrow, who missed the entire 2024 campaign due to ulcerative colitis, signed a one-year deal with the Panthers this past spring. Since then, the 29-year-old veteran has impressed many members of the organization, including head coach Dave Canales and quarterback Bryce Young. Canales highlighted Renfrow's performance following last Saturday's practice. "It's just the Hunter Renfrow I remember," Canales told reporters. "He looks healthy. I think everyone who's watched football over the last four or five years remembers what he looks like, and he's really playing in top form right now. I'm really excited to have him here and to have his family, which is right down the road here after this practice, just to be able to connect with him. And it's a great story that's unfolding right before our eyes." Despite being in a pretty crowded wide receiver room, Renfrow has defied the odds and made himself an early favorite for Carolina's initial 53-man roster. And if that's the case, then Horn won't have to worry about guarding him in the reps that actually count. Follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.

Novak Djokovic among investors to buy a stake in second-tier French soccer club Le Mans
LE MANS, France — Novak Djokovic is part of a group of investors who have bought a stake in French second-tier soccer team Le Mans, along with ex-Formula 1 drivers Felipe Massa and Kevin Magnussen. Le Mans said in a statement that they join other new financial investors into the club, including Latin American sports investment firm OutField and Georgios Frangulis, the founder and chief executive of OakBerry. Frangulis is the boyfriend of three-time women's Grand Slam champion Aryna Sabalenka. 'The uniqueness of this fund also lies in its contribution from high-level athletes,' Le Mans president Thierry Gomez said in the statement. 'Novak Djokovic, Felipe Massa, and Kevin Magnussen will be part of the adventure.' No financial details were given. Djokovic is the owner of a men's record 24 Grand Slam titles in tennis. The 38-year-old Serb has won 100 career titles overall. Massa won 11 races and secured 41 podiums in his F1 career. When driving for Ferrari, the popular Brazilian was within a whisker of winning the 2008 title, only for Lewis Hamilton to beat him in a dramatic finish at the last race. Hamilton won the title by 98 points to 97. The 32-year-old Magnussen drove close to 200 races in F1, securing one podium and one pole position. But the Danish driver was not retained by Haas when his contract expired. Le Mans soccer club, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, begins its league campaign on Aug. 9. Le Mans — a small city in northwestern France — also hosts the famed 24-hour endurance car race.
