UFC 283: Brandon Moreno, Deiveson Figueiredo extend rivalry to fourth fight

7 days ago Newsday

Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo have fought for 12 1/2 thrilling rounds in three bouts over the past 25 months. “Maybe starting the fight or walking to the octagon, maybe the people will be a bit aggressive with us – with me especially. Moreno and Figueiredo both realize they have little chance of surprising each other after three bouts, so the winner will need to capitalize on his strengths. Figueiredo injured both of his hands in that victory, and the UFC annoyed him by awarding an interim flyweight title belt during his injury recovery. Moreno won that temporary strap, stopping Kai Kara-France last summer.

Islanders face stern tests against the NHL's top teams over the next week

“Well, I don’t use the term, ‘measuring stick,’” the Islanders coach said. The Islanders then face the Rangers, who lost to the Lightning in the Eastern Conference final, on Wednesday in the teams’ only game this season at UBS Arena. “These teams we’re going to be playing against, they had great seasons last year and, even a handful of them, the last few years. On Friday, Barzal expressed his confidence that the Islanders were “a quick team,” and turning the puck over in Thursday’s loss was the real issue, not an ability to keep up with fast teams. Part of being fast for us and slowing other teams down is being physical and we weren’t physical enough.

NFL Week 8 picks: Jets finally beat Pats, Giants finally lose a close game

Backing a team off a bye makes sense: It had an extra week to prepare and is well-rested. Mac Jones will start over Bailey Zappe, but this game is going to be more about Zach Wilson. Bill Belichick will make the second-year QB beat him, something the Jets haven’t done since December 2015. Expect a close game, with the Jets’ defensive line (and maybe a long Wilson run or two) being the difference. The pick: BuffaloMONDAY NIGHTCINCINNATI (4-3) AT CLEVELAND (2-5)TV: ESPN, 8:15 p.m.Cincinnati by 3.5; O/U: 45.5A Browns home game on Halloween night?

Nets players excited, optimistic Kyrie Irving will return soon

PORTLAND, Ore. — There was an air of cautious optimism Thursday at the Nets morning shootaround here in the wake of a report that suspended All-Star guard Kyrie Irving would soon be rejoining the team. The Nets officially have not confirmed or denied ESPN’s report that Irving will return Sunday, but the general feeling among players is that they are close to getting their No. Between the posting and the suspension, Irving held two news conferences during which he declined to apologize or say whether he was antisemitic. Hours after the Nets announced his suspension, Irving issued an apology on social media. As part of the suspension, the Nets also laid out a multi-step plan that Irving needed to complete before returning to the team.

Nic Claxton raises his game and impresses Nets

PHILADELPHIA — Nic Claxton may be having a breakout season, but as of Wednesday morning he hadn’t done enough to catch the attention of the Philadelphia 76ers. When asked what he thought about the way Claxton had raised his game, Harrell paused and raised his eyebrows. “I just want to know what he’s doing this year, what his resume is this year and what he’s doing this season,” Claxton said. Entering Wednesday night, Claxton was the league leader in blocks with an average of 2.7 per game. “This is great for Nic, because he’s going to be counted on and when the playoffs come around.
