Cris Cyborg is hanging up the gloves, and she's doing it on her terms. The MMA legend will defend her PFL featherweight title against Ketlen Vieira on August twenty-second in Tampa, Florida, closing out one of the most decorated combat sports careers of her generation in style.
Shifting to the hardwood, Michigan State basketball's summer got underway Tuesday night at the Moneyball Pro-Am in East Lansing. The annual pro-am is a staple of the Spartans' offseason calendar, giving fans their first real look at the roster in action before fall practice even gets close to starting, and early observations out of opening night are already generating buzz around the program.
And in Texas, the Rangers have made a roster move, releasing first baseman Blaine Crim and dropping their forty-man roster down to thirty-nine. Crim, twenty-nine years old, was a nineteenth-round pick back in two thousand nineteen and spent six years grinding through the organization. It's a tough end to what was always an uphill journey to the big leagues.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
