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. After suffering two defeats in 2021, Zhang Weili had to bo
According to Tim Cato of The Athletic, the Dallas Mavericks have no intention of assisting any other team in acquiring NBA All-Star guard Kyrie Irving.
This summer, Irving will be an unrestricted free agent. If Irving decides to leave the Mavericks, Dallas could do a sign-and-trade with the team he joins.
"It takes tact, but the Mavericks should simply tell Irving upfront what contract they want him to re-sign, and while he certainly has the right to leave, they do not intend to assist any other team in acquiring him," Cato wrote. "They have the most attractive offer." It's another question of whether it's wise to stake this team's future on Irving. However, by trading for him, it appears that this team's path forward is to re-sign him."
Cato believes the Mavericks should not assist Irving in his pursuit of the Los Angeles Lakers, a team to which the All-Star guard has been heavily linked.
"Unless the Lakers somehow make Austin Reaves available in a return sign-and-trade or decide they're willing to trade Anthony Davis — which they won't — there's really no reason for the Mavericks to assist Los Angeles if Irving chooses to sign there," Cato wrote. "Especially not if D'Angelo Russell is the consolation prize."
Assuming the NBA has a salary cap of $134 million, Irving would be eligible to re-sign with the Mavericks on a five-year, $272 million deal. In 20 games with Dallas this season, the Duke product averaged 27.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists.
"I hear he's returning to Dallas on a 3+1 [a fourth-year player option]." His contract will be [identical] to Luka's." According to one player agent, Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report.
