The UFC heavyweight division has been a bit of a mess for the past few years, ever since Francis Ngannou relinquished the title and left the promotion for free agency. Don’t blame Franny, though. According to “The Predator,” that’s the fault of the fight promoters.Ngannou discussed this plus a number of other interesting topics with The Schmo in the lead-up to his big Netflix fight on the May 16th Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano undercard.“Well, I think there is a lot of, I would say, mismanagement,” he said on the state of heavyweight MMA. “There is a lot of mismanagement…

Rafa García delivered a dominant showing against Alexander Hernandez at UFC Vegas 116. While much of the opening round was contested on the feet, García appeared to steal the stanza after shooting in for a high-crotch takedown and effectively slamming his opponent to the mat.

However, it was García who appeared to gain the upper hand in the latter half of the round. Putting Hernandez on his back foot,…

After winning the race last year he has not only defended his title but set a standard for the marathon that is on par with the first 4-minute mile. Below are his splits for average pace per kilometer over the race. A single sub-3 kilometer is out of reach for all but a tiny minority of runners and he maintained that for an entire marathon. Even more impressive, he was getting faster as the race went on: 5km: 02:51 10km: 02:53 15km: 02:55 20km:…
