Conor McGregor is back, and the MMA world is holding its breath. After five years away from the octagon, McGregor steps in against Max Holloway this Saturday in Las Vegas during International Fight Week. UFC three twenty nine is shaping up to be one of the biggest combat sports events in years, and the odds are already moving fast.
Shifting to the diamond, Milwaukee's front office made a bold move Tuesday, calling up twenty one year old outfield prospect Luis Lara ahead of a doubleheader against St. Louis. Lara arrives on the heels of a seven year deal, signaling the Brewers are building around youth and betting big on their pipeline to compete in a tough NL Central.
And on the NFL calendar front, the league is reshaping its offseason structure, placing the Scouting Combine and the free agency negotiating window back to back. That means teams will go straight from evaluating prospects in Indianapolis to chasing veterans in free agency, compressing the decision window and putting a serious premium on front office preparation and speed.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
