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.

Rodrigo De Paul Gives His Thoughts on Lionel Messi Playing in the 2026 World Cup

 


Lionel Messi will be 36 this summer and 39 when the 2026 FIFA World Cup takes place in three years. However, the soon-to-be ex-PSG player has ruled himself out of the next tournament.

Nonetheless, Argentina coach Rodrigo De Paul has hinted that Messi may be persuaded to extend his international career with the country until the next World Cup. 

"There's a lot of time left before the World Cup - three years is a long time," De Paul told TyC Sports. "What matters is that he enjoys being her and that he is always close by." We also need to qualify for the World Cup; there is a Copa America before that. He's going to see how he feels about a lot of things. 

"The most important thing for us is the next friendly match and then starting the World Cup qualifiers well, which will be crucial." He can play until whatever day he wants, he's one step ahead of everyone, and he'll never lose that mentality."
Messi is expected to play in the 2024 Copa América, which will be held in the United States. The Argentine will be in the middle of his contract with Inter Miami, so he should be able to play. 

Maybe if the veteran takes a back seat on the 2026 team, he can be a player-coach or leader. It will be interesting to see if Messi caves to pressure and plays in 2026, or if he decides that the 2022 World Cup was sufficient.
