UFC 300 Pereira vs Hill

There will be fights for two championship belts among the many current and previous champions on the 300th pay-per-view show of the UFC, which is being celebrated. Champion after champion appears at UFC 300. The 300th pay-per-view card of the Ultimate Fighting Championship features combatants that serve as a reminder to fans of the brutal and frequently bizarre reality of mixed martial arts. Twelve fighters in the 13 bouts on the UFC 300 card have held a UFC title at some point in their careers. This is a great way to promote the pay-per-view, which can be purchased in the US for $79.99 with an ESPN+ subscription, and it also serves as a timely reminder of how difficult it is to win a title and capitalize on the fame that comes with it. The current light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, rose to prominence in a bigger class by positioning himself as a counterbalance to Israel Adesanya, one of the greatest names in the sport.

Mike McCarthy of the Dallas Cowboys laments overtime penalties rather than fourth-down conversions.

 GREEN BAY, WI – Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy is the most familiar with Lambeau Field, having coached for parts of 13 seasons with the Green Bay Packers.


McCarthy passed on a 53-yard field goal into the wind on fourth-and-3 from the Green Bay 35-yard line on the first possession of overtime Sunday, and Dak Prescott instead threw incomplete. Six plays later, the Dallas Cowboys were defeated 31-28 by the Green Bay Packers, dropping them to third place in the NFC East.

McCarthy said, "We were right on the line for a field goal." "To be honest, I thought we should just go for it. I mean, with the way the game was going, I called it on second down. Penalty for a big play. Penalty for a big play. Penalty for a big play. So all we had to do was keep playing. We made sound decisions. Obviously, I agree with the decision on fourth-and-3. Simply did not convert."

During overtime, McCarthy was visibly upset, especially after two penalties (offside on wide receiver Jalen Tolbert, holding on Connor McGovern) wiped out Tony Pollard's gains of 9 and 16 yards as the Cowboys were marching toward a potential winning touchdown.

"I thought we had complete control in overtime," McCarthy explained. "Obviously, very frustrated with penalties and other things. But you must overcome these obstacles. This group, this group of men, they've got it. But I'm sorry for their disappointment."

McCarthy's players were also disappointed.
