UFC 280 takeaways -- O'Malley belongs among elite, Sterling's bizarre title run continues

What can we take away from a fascinating slate of title fights and marquee matchups at UFC 280? Now, in Sterling's second title defense, he stopped an injured TJ Dillashaw via second-round TKO. Since Cruz's first title reign spanned WEC and the UFC -- UFC bought the promotion and absorbed its fighters and titles -- the 135-pound belt has been a veritable hot potato. For Brady, Muhammad trained with Nurmagomedov and his team, first in the United States and then over the past few weeks in the United Arab Emirates. It has been highly entertaining -- and impressive -- to watch him get to this point: right on the cusp of challenging for the UFC welterweight title.

Yankees' Game 3 ALCS loss a new low

The Astros own the league -- and no team owns the American League without owning the Yankees too. These frustrations reinforce the reality that the blessing of 27 championships is likewise a curse that renders itself every year the Yankees don't win another. In three ALCS games, the Yankees have scored four runs. The Yankees' offense is flawed, yes, but even more than that the Astros' pitching is a juggernaut. Now, today, that's a lesser team than the Houston Astros.

United's early season woes continue in yet another Kings defeat

American big, Jordan Caroline had another tough night at the office, finishing 3-for-11 from the field in his 26 minutes.

Recent Match Report - Ireland vs Sri Lanka, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022, 15th Match, Group 1

The target was a stroll for the top order led again by Kusal Mendis, who hit 68 not out off 43 balls. He hit his third six to take Sri Lanka home at the end of the 15th over, which means Sri Lanka not only take the two points from this game but also see their net run rate soar to 2.467. Ireland may reflect that they were utterly outplayed, having chosen to bat first (their wins in the previous round had come while chasing). He'd dismissed Lorcan Tucker in his first over, then removed George Dockrell in his last - the 17th of the innings. The pair sped up as Sri Lanka approached the target, Mendis hitting two legside sixes in the 15th over.

Is F1 heading for an era of Red Bull domination?

It could also hail the start of a new era of domination for Red Bull, given the dominance the team has shown this season. In the early years after taking over the Jaguar F1 team in 2005, many people in the paddock struggled to take Red Bull seriously. Red Bull eventually found that in Honda last year, but the Japanese manufacturer's withdrawal from F1 at the end of the season convinced Mateschitz to take matters into his own hands and allow Red Bull to embark on a hugely ambitious project to build its own powertrains from 2026 onwards. Red Bull maintains it did not intend to exceed the cap and is disputing the way the FIA's audit has accounted for certain items. Even without an aerodynamic testing sanction for Red Bull as a result of the cost cap investigation, Mercedes will still have more wind tunnel time and CFD capability than Red Bull next year due to the way the regulations are structured.
