40 minutes agoIsrael Adesanya releases statement on loss at UFC Seattle
Israel Adesanya is experiencing a challenging phase in his career, marked by a four-fight losing streak.
It's the NBA, right? You look at the season, it's long. Everybody goes through difficult times or a little bit of a rut. We just found ours right now. And again, we've got plenty of time left to do that we've got to do.
The 117.0 points per game the Pistons put up are just 1.3 more points than the Nets surrender (115.7). The Pistons hit 10.8 three-pointers per game (28th in the league) at a 34.5% rate (24th in the NBA), compared to the 12.8 per contest their opponents make while shooting 34.9% from deep.
Fading Florida dropped a 5-1 decision to the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center on Tuesday. Anton Lundell collected his 200th NHL point by potting the Panthers' only goal, which tied the score before the Devils pulled away in the second period. Sergei Bobrovsky delivered a solid start, finishing with 28 saves on 31 shots faced.
Even after a hiatus that lasted more than a year, Tai Tuivasa's slump continued at UFC 325. The popular Aussie heavyweight struggled to remain upright, dropping a unanimous decision to Tallison Teixeira in a featured bout this past Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. It was Tuivasa's sixth consecutive defeat within the Octagon, a skid that dates back to September 2022. "Bam Bam" expressed disappointment in the defeat in a statement released on his Instagram account.
We are stressed about trying to score goals, but we certainly had a lot of chances and opportunities. At the end of the day, until they start to go in the net and we find a way to get more than one or two goals, we are going to make it tough on ourselves. It's a broken record. We have to find a way.
You can see the stadium is nearly empty at the end, it's not full at the start, but we're just lacking belief that we can actually win the games. We're afraid and scared to win the game, almost nervous about actually going ahead in the game and having to try and hold on. We've just got to somehow keep trying to find something.
"For sure, it's difficult, because I know what we can do," Nancy said of Celtic's form. "I know what I can do also. But I know that, as a coach, we are judged on results. "That's why this is difficult to accept personally, because I know that we are on the right track. And it's difficult for me. But, again, I'm going to take it."
My last words to them were about our recent record against City, and how it's an opportunity for us to change it, and play for it. Every time you go inside the pitch to play a football match, our aim is to win the game, and it's not going to be different tomorrow night. Let's go for it - it's big challenge for us, a challenge that we want to face, and we want to go in a direction that gives us the conditions to fight and to take the three points.
While Antetokounmpo's return to the court Friday night at Madison Square Garden saw him maintain the form he was displaying before he missed the past four games with a groin strain -- putting up 30 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists in 28 minutes -- it wasn't enough to prevent the Bucks from losing a seventh straight game, falling 118-109 to the New York Knicks.
As the first half of the season draws to a close, the Zephyr looked to snap a three-game skid without its star forward Ally Cook - who leads the team in goals scored (four) - in a road match against Brooklyn FC at Maimonides Park Saturday - a team that lost 11 straight games, but has clinched all three of its wins at home.
