Most EXPLOSIVE one punch knockouts in boxing history! - Sky Sports

The next contract of defenceman Quinn Hughes has been a talking point for some time and played a major role in his trade from the Vancouver Canucks to the Minnesota Wild last December. Hughes is set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season and had told then-Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin he did not intend to re-sign with the team. On the eve of Hughes’ return to Vancouver as a member of the Wild, the star blueliner indicated he might be willing to stick around in Minnesota. When asked about his contract situation by The Athletic’s Joe Smith in Seattle, Hughes said his feet are “planted” in Minnesota and indicated he wouldn’t be surprised if something happens soon. “I’m where I’ve always been. I’m excited right now. My two feet are planted in Minnesota and you know, something could happen soon,” he said. “I’m not really sure. I’m really enjoying playing here… there’s a lot of things that are set up nicely here for me to have success individually and as a team. We have a great team.

Alexander Volkanovski is still the greatest after his latest title defense as he ended Movsar Evloev’s undefeated run with a second-round stoppage in the UFC 333 main event. As usual, Volkanovski showed off tremendous takedown defense and immaculate striking as he picked Evloev apart on the feet. Finally in the second round, Volkanovski put together a combination of punches that put Evloev down and the Australian finished with a barrage of shots on the ground. The end came at 4:54 in the second round. “He’s a great figher,” Volkanovski said after his latest title defefnse. “He was undefeated for a reason but I just said I’m the right guy for that job. I knew the ref would have to stop it when he covered up like that. “I’m choosing to do this. I said if I didn’t take too much damage, we probably keep going so maybe we keep going. I feel the love and it’s paid off now. The love around the world is incredible.”After tasting defeat for the first time, Evloev was understandably upset but he paid homage to Volkanovski on a job well done. “It was a terrible fight,” Evloev said. “He’s a good one. Older, stronger, better, he’s truly a legend. I’m grateful for this opportunity to be here.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live THIS MORNING (Sat., Oct. 24, 2026) with UFC 333, taking place inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, streaming exclusively live on Paramount+. The main event is Alexander Volkanovski vs. Movsar Evloev for UFC’s Featherweight title. The co-main is Petr Yan vs. Merab Dvalishvili 3 for UFC’s Bantamweight crown. UFC 333 PreviewUFC 333 is a banger card with two extremely high level title fights for our main and co-main events. The main event sees Alexander Volkanovski perhaps taking on his toughest test to date, in the undefeated Movsar Evloev. Evloev is peaking right now and might be the best pure wrestler Volkanovski has ever fought. You can’t count Volkanovski out of anything, though. The Australian has shown that his fight IQ and elite well-rounded skillset can beat anyone (who isn’t named Islam Makhachev). The co-main is a rubber match between Petr Yan vs. Merab Dvalishvili and an immediate rematch of what went down back in Dec. 2026, when Yan fought a perfect fight and spoiled Dvalishvili’s attempt to make history with four title defenses in a calendar year.

Leo Carlsson came within one financial decision of becoming a Philadelphia Flyer last summer. On Saturday, the Anaheim centre found a way to beat the team that tried to pry him away from the Ducks.

Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili went the distance again at UFC 333 and if it were up to their peers, they might end up fighting forever. Saturday’s co-main event in Abu Dhabi saw Yan defeat Dvalishvili a second straight time to move to 2-1 in their series with the two fighters now having spend 75 minutes inside the octagon together. Yan shook off a slow start and surged in the final three rounds, consistently outworking Dvalishvili on the feet and neutralizing his rival’s relentless wrestling en route to a unanimous decision win. Regardless of the result, fans, fighters, and media were were unanimous in their praise for the duo, who once again showed why they’re considered the two very best bantamweights of this generation. Fellow 135er Adrian Yanez even suggested the two extend the series. “Such a great trilogy,” Yanez wrote on Twitter. “Wouldn’t mind seeing the best of 7.”See more fighter reactions from social media below.

Quinn Hughes is enjoying his time with the Minnesota Wild, but the star defenceman stopped short of offering a definitive answer about his long-term future with the team.
