The death of UFC lightweight Fares Ziam's grandmother has seen him withdraw from UFC Paris this Saturday. Ziam (17-4) had been expected to face Kaue Fernandes at the Fight Night event, in a main card bout. The French star sits on a five-fight win streak that includes victories over Jai Herbert and Matt Frevola, among others. To date, he had fought on (and won at) every single one of the UFC's trips to Paris, starting with the promotion's debut at the Accor Arena in 2022.

SNS Morton manager Dougie Imrie has shared the news that his baby girl Remi, who was recently born premature, has died. Remi was delivered on 30 July, weighing 1lb 4oz, 14 weeks before her due date. In a post on social media, Imrie said that his daughter had "decided it was time to rest" on Tuesday and that he and partner Lauren would cherish the time they had spent with her.

"Despite significant pushback from the industry, pensions will now form part of inheritance tax calculations," he said. "This places yet another burden on grieving families."
