K-OOOOOOOOOOOOO To be honest, most games of Street Fighter last longer than Conor McGregor’s brutal defeat of Jose Aldo at UFC 194, but we enjoyed this all the same. It’s fantastic work from @RichieBranson, who even went to the trouble of making sure McGregor is wearing his special green shorts. The music is still the […]

Aaron Ramsey may have scored the quickest hat-trick in Premier League history at Villa Park on Sunday. Either that, or the person running Arsenal’s Twitter account went a little bit overboard when the Welshman grabbed the Gunners’ second goal. The tweets were swiftly deleted, but not before followers picked up on the bizarre mistake… Ramsey […]

Blink and you missed it. For those who stayed up past 6am to watch Conor McGregor take down Jose Aldo in just 13 seconds, there may be some disappointment that it wasn’t more of a fight. But there was beauty in the brutal brevity of the Irishman’s victory. Nothing sums it up better than the […]

It wasn’t all about Conor McGregor at UFC 194 on Saturday night. Luke Rockhold became the seventh undisputed middleweight champion of the world in an entertainingbout against Chris Weidman.

It’s fair to say Conor McGregor was feeling pretty confident about his chances ahead of his UFC 194 bout against Jose Aldo.

More proof that Manchester United have become incredibly boring to watch this season. Louis van Gaal’s focus on possession football has been blamed for United’s lack of attacking play, as the team try and suffocate their opponents by not allowing them the ball.
