Ryan Garcia is drawing lines in the sand before any ink dries with Zuffa Boxing. The WBC welterweight champion says if a long-term deal with Dana White ever happens, he won't be wearing Zuffa gear and expects to operate outside their standard fighter guidelines. First things first though — Garcia defends his title against Conor Benn on September twelfth at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, a fight he believes will run as a co-promotion.
Shifting to the gridiron, Jacoby Brissett has ended the standoff and reported to Arizona Cardinals training camp without a new contract in hand. After stepping in for the injured Kyler Murray last season and starting twelve games, Brissett is now the presumed starter following Murray's release. He showed up, he's in the building, and the negotiation continues from there.
And in Nashville, AEW Dynamite delivered the final chapter before Sunday's Redemption pay-per-view. Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay, and a stacked trios main event headlined the show, with the roster putting in the work to send fans into the weekend with serious momentum heading into what could be a defining night for All Elite Wrestling.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
