Filling out the main card is a women's bantamweight fight between Karol Rosa and Nora Cornolle.
Although expectations may not have been very high, Cornolle has arguably overperformed thus far in her UFC tenure, earning some surprising finishes along the way. Nevertheless, Cornolle will be taking an undeniable step up in this contest.
Rosa has been a staple of this division for some time, but has failed to deliver on any real 'breakthrough' performances. That said, Rosa is undeniably skilled in almost all areas and deserves her distinction as the betting favorite in this fight.
Cornolle will likely have some moments on the feet and in the clinch, but it won't be enough to discount the consistent work rate of Rosa.

Brian Daboll, Giants' coaching staff disrespected in ESPN ranking
It's no secret that the 2025 NFL season is something of a 'make or break' year for New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll. Once a rising star as the offensive coordinator for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, the Giants hired Daboll as head coach and saw some success right away. He guided New York to a 9-7 record, a return to the playoffs, and got quarterback Daniel Jones to look the best he ever has. Since then, it's been all downhill for Daboll and the Giants, winning just nine total games across two seasons while Daniel Jones is now the likely backup quarterback in Indianapolis. As the NFL is a 'what have you done for me lately' league, it should come as no surprise that Daboll and his coaching staff fared poorly in a recent ranking of NFL coaching staffs. Ben Solak, an analyst for ESPN, ranked each team's coaching staff heading into the 2025 NFL season and placed the New York Giants in dead last, a drop of 8 spots from last year. Regarding Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, Solak writes, 'It's not much to hang a hat on, but if and when we see Jaxson Dart this season at quarterback, I expect the team to have some smart, easy ways to get him into a rhythm and involved in the running game. I can at least see the visions in New York, even if the plane often struggles to get off the ground.' Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen earned a slightly rosier assessment, at least. 'I have a warmer appreciation for Bowen, who is always willing to get creative with alignment and coverages to solve personnel problems on the back end. The 2024 Giants' defense was definitely poor, but they have overhauled the secondary and added to the pass rush this offseason, so I'm happy reserving a stronger judgment for Year 2.' As aforementioned, it should surprise no one that the Giants' coaching staff is ranked among the league's worst. What is rather surprising was seeing them rank at dead last, behind even some first-time head coaches with inexperienced staffs, like the Jacksonville Jaguars. To be fair, the Jaguars only ranked one spot higher than New York, but even that feels like a major disservice to Daboll's potential. At least Daboll has a playoff appearance to his name. Hopefully, the arm of Russell Wilson, who is the unquestioned starting QB in 2025, will guide New York to a strong 2025 season and we'll see a more positive evaluation in next year's rankings.

Photo by Lampson Yip -How to Watch Tottenham vs. Newcastle United Date: Sunday, August 3, 2025 Time: 7:00 a.m. ET Venue: Seoul World Cup Stadium Channel: CBS Sports Network Stream: Fubo (try for free) Tottenham is currently undefeated in preseason play, although just two of those four matchups resulted in victories. Most recently, Tottenham defeated rival Arsenal 1-0 thanks to a 45th-minute goal by Pape Matar Sarr. Newcastle United, meanwhile, most recently fell to the South Korean All-Star team 1-0 due to a 36th-minute goal by Kim Jin-Kyu. Before that, Newcastle United fell 3-2 to Arsenal in what was a very exciting matchup. Newcastle fell despite taking an early sixth-minute lead courtesy of an Anthony Elanga goal. Afterwards, Jacob Murphy drew the game level at 2-2 in the 58th minute, though Arsenal's Martin Ødegaard eventually won the game for Arsenal with an 84th-minute goal from the penalty spot. Last season, Arsenal finished second in the Premier League standings with 74 points in 38 matches, a full 10 points behind league-winning Liverpool, which secured its 84 points. Arsenal drawing 14 times in 38 matches is ultimately what ruined its title hopes. Newcastle, meanwhile, finished the season in fifth place, good enough for automatic Champions League qualification for next season. With two of the top-five teams in the Premier League last season facing off on Sunday morning, the Arsenal vs. Newcastle United match is not one you will want to miss. Tune into the CBS Sports Network at 7:00 a.m. ET on Sunday morning to watch this matchup between Tottenham and Newcastle United, which will take place in beautiful Seoul, South Korea.
