Conor McGregor is back, and he wants you to know exactly how he feels about Khabib Nurmagomedov. The Irishman, returning to the octagon for the first time in five years, called his old rival out ahead of UFC three twenty nine, saying he simply does not rate him — courage or no courage. McGregor faces Max Holloway Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, coming back from a broken leg in brutal fashion, and he clearly hasn't lost a single word of that famous edge.
Shifting to baseball, Pete Crow-Armstrong is doing things that almost nobody does. The Cubs center fielder became the first player in the majors to reach twenty-twenty status this season, posting at least twenty home runs and twenty stolen bases before game ninety-five — and he's done it in back-to-back years. The conversation around a forty-forty season is already starting, and it's only July.
And in Indianapolis, a legend is coming home. Adam Vinatieri, the NFL's all-time leading scorer and the most clutch kicker the league has ever seen, will be inducted into the Colts' Ring of Honor on October eighteenth when Indianapolis hosts Tennessee. A career defined by impossible moments gets one more celebration at Lucas Oil Stadium.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
