Mike Malott may have punched his ticket to a top five matchup earlier tonight (Sat., Oct. 17, 2026) at UFC Edmonton LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, when the Canadian contender closed the show with a nasty second-round knockout (knee and punch). Ahead of the welterweight main event, UFC Edmonton’s undercard produced an astonishing 11 total finishes in just 12 fights. It was up to Malott and Buckley to deliver one more stoppage to make Saturday’s return to Canada even more memorable. Luckily for all those watching, Malott came through with a massive performance that sent the crowd into a frenzy and tied the UFC record for most finishes in a single event (12).

New York City has always been the center of the world, but in the last few weeks, the magnifying glass has been on us like never before. The lines for frozen yogurt and banana cream matcha lattes are snaking around city blocks, TikTokers are accosting people on the street to talk about confidence or rent prices, and our polarizing mayor is wearing offensively short shorts for photo ops. The weather is good, the sun is going down at 9 PM, people are drunk and sunburnt. Last week, the debate was about being a bandwagon fan for the Knicks, and the question of precisely who is allowed to root for which sports team. Some people seem to think you need documentation proving that you were born and raised in this amazing shithole to go to a packed bar and cheer on a team. That rule obviously discriminates against Midwestern transplants—the people who want to live in ugly new apartment buildings, work innocuous high-paying jobs, and walk their goldendoodle to Blank Street on Saturday morning.

In the first World Series game Milwaukee has hosted since 1982, the Brewers lived up to the moment and beat the Rays behind a collective effort from their biggest stars.

WASHINGTON (AP) Scottie Barnes had 28 points and 14 rebounds, and the Toronto Raptors continued their stellar defensive start to the season with a 112-102 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday night. RJ Barrett added 23 points and Kawhi Leonard scored 16 for Toronto, which forced 23 Washington turnovers after Chicago committed 27 in the Raptors' season-opening victory on Wednesday. Trae Young had 22 points and 12 assists for the Wizards, who trailed throughout and were down by 17 in the second quarter before closing within a point in the third. Tre Johnson added 20 points, but Anthony Davis finished with only nine on 3-for-12 shooting in his second career game for Washington. He had 34 points Wednesday in their season-opening victory. Toronto led 18-6 on the offensive glass and 52-32 in points in the paint. The Wizards closed within a possession for the first time since the first quarter on Bilal Coulibaly's layup to make it 64-61 early in the third, and got it to one with a 9-0 run. Jamison Battle's 3-pointer made it 81-77 at the end of the third, and Toronto maintained a multiple-possession lead throughout the fourth. It was all Raptors early.
