ESPN -- Dustin Poirier and Israel Adesanya walked out of the Octagon on Saturday night as champions, and it had only a little to do with the shiny new title belts they carried with them. Their performances in the main event and co-main of UFC 236 in Atlanta made them interim champs, which is to say that neither man sits alone at the top of the mountain in his weight class. But the fights they put on -- digging deep to find moments of dominance when they needed to set a tone or change momentum -- elevated them both to a status that few fighters reach.
This has been a long time coming for the 30-year-old Poirier, who has been competing as a professional mixed martial artist for a decade. Saturday's fight was his 22nd in the UFC -- the second-longest wait a fighter in the promotion has had to endure for a title shot, behind only Michael Bisping's 26 bouts -- and his résumé is dotted with near misses.
He has paid his dues, and when his opportunity finally came, he went for it with a vengeance. Poirier took it to featherweight champ Max Hollowayfrom the start of Saturday's headline bout, wobbling him several times in the first two rounds of their interim lightweight title fight.
But it was in the third round -- a round Poirier lost -- that the son of Lafayette, Louisiana, truly showed championship mettle. Despite looking tired and slowed from the fast early pace he'd set, Poirier withstood the best that a rallying Holloway could dish out. That resilience allowed Poirier to make it to the championship rounds, which lived up to their name in a big way. Poirier somehow rediscovered his earlier high gear and turned the fight back in his favor, bloodying Holloway with a big knee in Round 4, which ended with the 145-pound champ wearing a grotesque mask of crimson. Poirier didn't let up in the final round, ensuring that he would be the one being handed the interim belt.
Turnaround was also at the heart of the Adesanya story, and in an unexpected way it grew the legend of the 29-year-old native of Nigeria, who has lived in New Zealand since his teens. Adesanya went into his interim middleweight matchup with Kelvin Gastelum as an enigma. He had had only five UFC bouts (over just 14 months), yet the flashy former kickboxer was considered the next big thing. Gastelum represented his biggest test yet.
Yes, it's true that "The Last Stylebender" shared a cage two months ago with Anderson Silva, one of the greatest of all time. But "The Spider" whom Adesanya faced at UFC 234 was a faded 43-year-old version. Adesanya's most dangerous opponent that night might have been himself, as he was stepping in with an idol and at times seemed awestruck, struggling to get out of his own way.
Saturday's fight was Adesanya's first against a ranked opponent. (Gastelum is No. 3 in ESPN's middleweight top 10, with Adesanya at No. 7.) Could he show the flair and flash that he'd put on display in his previous bouts? The simple answer was no, but the rest of the answer is that he showed something more important.
Adesanya was poised from the start, in no rush to show off. The story of the fight early was not the shots he was landing but rather the shots Gastelum was not landing. Adesanya's footwork and head movement were as masterful as ever, but in the first couple of rounds of this fight they were more tools of self-defense than offensive weaponry. What proved to be Adesanya's most potent weapon was the thing that's midway between his head and feet -- his heart.
After Gastelum, a veteran who'd been tested by the sport's best, gradually found ways to clip Adesanya, the fight started to swing his way. He put Adesanya in deep trouble in the fourth round, and when the horn sounded Adesanya went back to his corner looking like a beaten man. But Adesanya came out for the fifth round and seized control, knocking down Gastelum three times in those final five minutes and nearly finishing him. He earned 10-8 scores from all three judges, securing the decision in a fight that was up for grabs. This timely display of grit was more impressive than any of the front-running dominance Adesanya had shown before.
These championship performances by Adesanya and Poirier surely earned the attention of Robert Whittaker, who holds the middleweight belt, and Khabib Nurmagomedov, who reigns at lightweight. Those two will soon return to the Octagon, and waiting for them are challenges that at this moment seem far bigger and more exciting than they did 24 hours ago.
Adesanya was already a star on the rise, but now he has shown himself to be multidimensional and rugged. He'd been so dominant that in the past he'd never had to prove he could stare down adversity. Well, now he's showed he can, and that's huge, because fights at this high level are a breeding ground for adversity.
That fifth round against Gastelum -- how he transformed from depleted to dominant when toughing it out was his only option -- was the stuff of legends. Gastelum had been in with five UFC champions in the past, and no one did to him what Adesanya did. That has to give Whittaker pause.
As for Poirier, he showed off power and precision that have to concern Nurmagomedov. Yes, the Dagestani faced a powerfully elite striker in his most recent fight, but Conor McGregor was unable to keep that fight at ideal striking range, where the champ is at his most vulnerable.
Poirier was fully in control of where and how Saturday's bout was fought, keeping Holloway within range of his power. If he can keep the Nurmagomedov fight going long enough to clip him with what he dished out to Holloway, it will test the well-roundedness of the undefeated champ, who has smothered everyone he has faced. It'll be interesting to see.
That's the bottom line, right there. The two classic fights that closed out UFC 236 stirred up heart-pumping intrigue over what's to come. Who doesn't yearn to see Whittaker vs. Adesanya -- especially in Australasia, where they're both from -- and Nurmagomedov vs. Poirier? Heck, who doesn't want to see what's next for Holloway and Gastelum as well?
When fighters bring forth that something special that carries them through the most difficult times -- and when those times have the highest of stakes -- it is deeply satisfying to witness such spirit. We could never imagine being in that line of fire, yet we cannot look away. We want to see more. And Saturday night brought the promise that more will soon be delivered.
Report via CNN -- Tiger Woods clinched his fifth Masters and 15th major title to seal one of the greatest comeback stories in sport after overcoming career-threatening back problems.
The 43-year-old muscled his way through a tightly packed leaderboard to win by two shots at Augusta for his first major title in 11 years and first Masters win since 2005.
It completes a fairytale return for the most dominant player of his generation -- and arguably the best ever -- after enduring "dark times" through injury since 2014.
Woods underwent career-saving spine fusion surgery in 2017 and sealed an impressive comeback season last year with his first win for five years.
Sunday's thrilling victory puts the former world No.1 just three majors behind the all-time record of Jack Nicklaus.
Only fellow American Nicklaus has won more Masters, with six. Woods also joins Nicklaus as the only player to have won the Masters in three different decades after he clinched his first as a 21-year-old in 1997.
Woods began the day two shots behind Italy's Francesco Molinari, and rode the roller coaster of a gripping final round to first share the lead after the Italian found the water in front of the short 12th. Two holes later five players were tied at the top, but Woods' birdie on the long 15th took him clear on his own. Another birdie on the short 16th ignited thunderous roars which reverberated around the towering pines as Woods marched off with a two-shot lead and a thousand-yard stare in scenes reminiscent of his heyday.
Sporting a red mock turtleneck in a nod to his last win at Augusta in 2005, and chewing gum throughout, Woods maintained his cushion to edge world No.2 Dustin Johnson, three-time major champion Brooks Koepka and another American Xander Schauffele.
When the winning putt dropped, Woods clenched his fist and punched the air to tumultuous applause, watched from behind the 18th green by his mother Kutilda, children Sam and Charlie, and girlfriend Erica Herman.

Report via TMZ - Rapper Jim Jones was able to duck jail time in his gun and drug case out in Georgia -- in fact, he was almost able to skate entirely by copping a plea.
According to court docs out of Coweta County, GA -- where Jim was facing 5 felony counts and a misdemeanor from his June 2018 arrest -- Jim was sentenced to 2 years probation and a $1,500 fine, plus minor court costs.
We're told 3 of the 6 charges were dropped, including a felony drug charge and 2 felony counts of possession of a firearm. The other 3 charges will go away if he stays out of trouble while on probation -- all part of a plea deal.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Jim has to stay off booze and drugs for the next couple years and report to his probation officer in GA to get the remaining 3 charges dropped from his record. All things considered, he should count himself lucky.
TMZ broke the story ... Jim and 3 other guys he was riding in a car with werearrested in June after their vehicle led cops on a police chase. Officers say they found weed, oxycodone, Percocet, vape cartridges and 2 loaded pistols inside.
When no one copped to possessing any of the items, cops arrested everyone. Jim was officially charged a few months later ... and was facing decades behind bars.
This is foul af ... Report via TMZ -- One of the victims shot in the Nipsey Hussle murder has been arrested ... for associating with Nipsey -- TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, Kerry Lathan, a 56-year-old man who was shot in the back outside Nipsey's Marathon Clothing store, was taken to the hospital, a week ago Sunday, treated and released.
Five days after the shooting, Lathan, who is out on parole after serving 20 years for murder, was arrested at his halfway house for associating with a known gang member -- namely, Nipsey.
One of the standard conditions of parole is not associating with known gang members, and police claim Nipsey was a member of the Rollin 60's Crips.
Lathan is now in Men's Central Jail in downtown L.A. where he waits as authorities try to revoke his parole. Lathan is in a wheelchair -- the result of the shooting -- unable to walk.
It's ironic ... as Nipsey was being celebrated for his contributions to L.A., authorities were arresting one of the victims of the shooting for being around him. And there's this ... Lathan had just gotten out of prison, and Nipsey went to Marathon to give the ex-con some clothes so he could look fresh when he reunited with friends and family.

From Hell’s Roof to the Rhine Valley, Rochester, NY emcee Eto (formerly known as Lil’ Eto) and German-Spanish producer Superior have joined forces! The resulting full-length collaboration, “Long Story Short” is set to drop via Below System Records (Digital & CD) on April 12th (with vinyl coming courtesy of Tuff Kong Records).
As evidenced by first single “Fortune” and accompanying video, Eto’s penchant for balancing the pain of the street and the progression of the hustle is a perfect foil for Superior’s cinematic and somber beat-scapes.
Speaking on the collaboration, Superior said “My previous releases were rooted in my love of boom-bap. However, when I linked up with Eto, I started producing specifically with him in mind and keeping it more atmospheric in keeping with the coldness of his environment and narratives.” With a gripping chemistry throughout the only guest spots on the project is from Skyzoo and Toronto rhyme-counterpart, Daniel Son.
Of course Eto has been releasing audio masterpieces at a dizzying rate in the past several months. These include his new full-length collaboration with DJ Muggs (Cypress Hill) entitled “Hell’s Roof” (which is a nickname for his hometown which has one of the highest crime rates in the country) and recent surprise EP, “Heather Grey” with long-time production collaborator VDon (Dark Lo, Conway The Machine) and emcee Willie The Kid. Eto also was featured on one of the most celebrated albums for 2018 Westside Gunn’s, “Hitler Wears Hermes 6” (“John Bena” produced by DJ Muggs) As a producer, Eto also recently laced tracks for Benny The Butcher, 38 Spesh and Jamal Gasol.
Constantly adapting his work as a producer, Superior's catalogue for Below System Records includes his 2017 production album, “The Journey”, which included appearances from Blu, Edo. G, Reks, Termanology and Lil Fame among others.
His full-length album with Chicago emcee, Verbal Kent, “Half My Life” was released in 2018 and had appearances from Vic Spencer, Sonnyjim and Recognize Ali.

Report via - ATLANTA - Channel 2 Action News has learned that famous rapper Waka Flocka Flame was at an Atlanta recording studio earlier this month when three men opened fire.
According to the police report obtained by Channel 2’s Michael Seiden, Waka -- whose real name is Jauquin Malphurs -- was one of about a dozen people at ZAC Recording on April 4.
Police said when officers arrived at the studio, witnesses told them at least three men fired several shots into the building. The police report said one person was shot in the arm.
Waka wasn’t injured in the shooting, and investigators haven’t said if they believe he was the intended target.
Channel 2 Action News stopped by the studio on Friday and we were told “no comment” by an unidentified man.
CHICAGO (WLS) -- New video shows Chicago police officers dragging a 16-year-old Marshall High School student down a flight of stairs, punching her, and using a stun gun on her.
What the video shows does not appear to match the story the officers initially told when the incident happened in January.
Video from security cameras inside Marshall High School in the city's East Garfield Park neighborhood shows Dnigma Howard talking with a classmate while two Chicago police officers stand by.
As the person in the yellow shirt walks away, video shows one of the officers immediately grab Howard and throw her to the ground.
The three of them eventually disappear from the shot, going down the staircase. The video shows other students immediately rush toward the stairs.
Video from another angle shows the officers dragging Howard down the stairs, and at the bottom one officer is holding her arm while the other is holding her leg.
"In the video you can see they pull her by the leg down the stairs, the whole flight of stairs," said Laurentio Howard, father.
One officer appears to kick and punch Howard as he's holding her on the ground. Video shows her thrashing on the floor, appearing to fight back before the officer ultimately deploys his stun gun.
"I thought maybe they were going to try to choke her out or she would lose consciousness or something like that. they had their foot on her chest. She has asthma, she's telling me she can't breathe. She's turning red, I see a vein sticking out her head," Laurentio said.
At the time of the incident, police said they were told to escort Howard out of the school after she was removed from class for having her phone out, then got agitated and lashed out at a security guard. Howard previously said she grabbed one of the officer's vests.
Laurentio had been called to pick his daughter up after she was removed from the classroom, he said.
"I'm standing downstairs by the front door and she said, 'I'm going to get her to come downstairs. She's going home right now,'" he said.
"I couldn't believe I seen two sworn police officers of Chicago abusing my daughter like this and I'm standing right there watching them do this and can't do anything about it," he recalled of the incident.
Officers tased Howard three times.
"Thank god for that video," said the family's attorney. "When this instance first happened the state's attorney charged a 16-year-old unarmed girl with two felonies for aggravated assault against a peace officer."
Howard was initially charged with two felony counts of aggravated battery against a peace officer, but the State's Attorney's office dropped the charges. The two officers were removed from the school and reassigned to different duties as COPA and the CPD Force Review Unit completed an independent investigation of the incident.
The City of Chicago Law Department said they "do not comment on pending litigation."
Report via New York Post -- The Bronx man who walked into a local police precinct station house and confessed to killing his girlfriend was angry because she had stayed out overnight, police sources told The Post Thursday.
Angel Esteban Felix Rodriguez, 24, strolled into the 48th Precinct station house with an interpreter around 6 p.m. Wednesday and admitted to officers that he killed Indira Ramirez-Rivera, 21, two days prior, police and sources said.
Rodriguez gave his apartment keys to cops, who went to the couple’s Nelson Avenue basement apartment and found her lifeless body in a bedroom, sources said.
Rivera was discovered strangled to death face-up on a bed, the sources said.
Rodriquez was later charged with murder and manslaughter for the slaying. Police have not released a motive.
Shocked neighbors told The Post on Thursday the couple had a hot-and-cold relationship, and that Rivera had moved out of the apartment in the past before moving back in.
“They seemed lovable but then they argued and it was heated,” neighbor Smily Rodriguez, who has no relation to the suspect, told the Post.
Rodriguez, 35, was home when police flooded the scene Wednesday night, and said she knew things were bad when she saw police head downstairs with their rubber gloves on.
“I heard one EMT say: ‘It looked like the devil was in there,'” she said.
Neighbors said Rivera had just returned from the Dominican Republic, where she had plastic surgery.
“She wasn’t able to move around that well,” said 18-year-old Andy Ramirez.
