The UFC returns to NY this weekend and the main event will crown its first ever female featherweight champion. Holm has proven to be a good kickboxer too and despite her boxing background actually favors her kicks, but while she has a number of big TKO and KO wins came against fighters with striking deficiencies who were caught out by her head kicks - whereas that's nothing De Randamie hasn't seen and dealt with before.

By improbability, the New England Patriots' win over the Atlanta Falcons ranks as the most fantastic in National Football League postseason history. He's right and he's wrong, of course, because everything the Pats do - the good and the bad, and every nook and cranny in between - is a reflection of Belichick because that's the culture Belichick wanted, the one he's created, and one that has now yielded five Super Bowl championships to Foxborough, Mass., which for decades was perhaps the ...
