EA Sports yesterday revealed Ufc Lightweight Champion “The Notorious” Conor McGregor will be the global cover athlete for the new Ufc video game.
The Irish mixed martial artist, who last year became the first ever two-weight Ufc champion by capturing both the Featherweight title and and the Lightweight title, will be on the cover of Ufc 3, scheduled for release on February 2, 2018.
It is the second time McGregor has been on the cover of the Ufc video game, having previously shared the Ufc 2 cover with female Ufc star Ronda Rousey.
“Two belts, two covers – EA Sports got it right again,” Ufc Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor said. “It’s an honor to be on the cover and I can’t wait to play the game.”
The new Ufc 3 game will be powered by a new gameplay animation technology, Real Player Motion Tech, which features over 5,000 new animations enabling players to move, strike and create seamless combinations in-game.

Lucha Underground brought us the latest episode of the season, titled "Sudden Death". The show began with the resumption of the match between Johnny Mundo, the Lucha Underground Champion, facing off against The Mack. Would we see The Mack gain the momentum he needed to win the championship, or would Johnny Mundo find a way to prevail?
The match between Mundo and The Mack was more of the same. That's not a bad thing, because these two certainly brought it in the ring. While I will stay on record as not being a fan of Iron Man Matches, seeing this one end with a definitive winner was good to see.
I have to say though, I was shocked Johnny Mundo ended up winning the match. They've set up this match for months, which usually leans an average wrestling fan into thinking the challenger would end up winning the championship. Having...

Yep. She nailed it.
Champion athlete – and sportswoman of the year – Simone Biles is showing off her stunning figure and gold medal-winning moves in the 2017 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
The Olympic athlete made her Swimsuit debut in the pages of the annual special issue, wearing both a white bikini and a white one-piece for the shoot.
Biles, 19, hasn’t always loved showing off her enviable figure. In her book, Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance, Biles said, “It’s hard growing up in a sport where you compete with very little clothing on your body...

With possibly the exception of the growing list of wrestlers getting injured, the biggest news to come out of the wrestling world recently is that WWE are due to sign/have signed Njpw stars Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows and Aj Styles. It’s particularly exciting as Anderson, Gallows and Styles are members of the highly popular Bullet Club faction.
Even those unfamiliar with the group have no doubt seen their t-shirts, one of wrestling’s hottest sellers over the past couple of years. One of the most popular and dominant wrestling factions in recent memory, the group have run wild in New Japan, as well as a host of other Japanese companies and Us-based groups such as Ring Of Honor and Global Force Wrestling.
They’re in many ways a modern day nWo, and have even got the blessing of Big Sexy, Kevin Nash and The Bad Guy,...

Monday Night Raw is in a very strange place right now. Without even delving into the realm of typical fan complaints, the show is in dire need of some fresh ideas. Images surfaced this week of fans leaving the arena before a main event segment featuring Roman Reigns and Sheamus. One of those men is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, the other is WWE’s great big hope for the babyface future.
It’s hardly inspiring to imagine people electing to leave rather than see the World Title match participants scrap. In fairness to the company, they perhaps have no choice right now but to continue trying to feature these names. Star power is at a real low currently, and it will take time to build up performers to a sufficient level.

Prince Oberyn is out. Bronn, are you free? A fan of HBO's "Game of Thrones" checked the books and decided it's fair game to demand a trial by combat in his court case, where he's accused of aiding and abetting a fraudulent transfer, among other not-quite-GoT-level claims. TheWrap has a story on Staten Island lawyer Richard Luthmann, and the comments are filled with more details from the accused himself, plus readers offering to be his champion.
As Luthmann wrote in his court filing:
Defendant invokes the common law writ of right and demands his common law right to Trial By Combat as against plaintiffs and their counsel, whom plaintiff wishes to implead into the Trial By Combat by writ of right. [...] Since [1776], no American court in post-independence United States to the undersigned's knowledge has addressed the issue, and thus the trial by combat remains a right reserved to...

Ultima Lucha is the season ending supercard from the first season of Lucha Underground. It’s the culmination of several rivalries from a company that sought to make a truly unique wrestling program – and that they did. Lucha Underground is one of a kind.
Three of the matches from this event began last week and they’ll be covered in this article. Most bouts were above average and only one was subpar. Overall, the entire three hours from the two nights were packed to the brim of quality wrestling.
Three championships were on the line, beginning with the Trios Championships on night one. Then, night two crowned an inaugural Gift of the Gods Champion. The final championship was in the main event of Ultima Lucha as Prince Puma defended his Lu Championship against MIl Muertes. Each title felt like it was treated with importance.

If you watched last Sunday’s episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones you know that the realm lost a good one in Barristan the Bold. For such a knight of accomplishment to die outside of Westeros may not seem right, but one would think he did so at the service of a ruler he respected, and that’s all he ever wanted. I thought it would be appropriate to look back at the life of a character that for TV watchers was a few years old, but for book readers we’ve been reading Selmy for almost Twenty years. If you want, you can go check out my review of The Sons of the Harpy where Barristan, along with Greyworm, kicked a lot of ass. I think what tv watchers of Game of Thrones should know is that this hasn’t happened in the books, so this was not...

And so with the power vested in us by the untied Recappers Society of the Galaxy, we are taking matters into our own hands and turning the decision over to you.

We have gathered nine of the most gifted orators in the known world to make statements defending the various claimants to the Iron Throne. Read their statements, and the rebuttals below, and then cast your ballot at the end of the arguments.

The WWE has confirmed that the next Nxt live special will be called Nxt Takeover: Evolution. It will come from Full Sail University on December 11th and the main event will be Nxt Champion Adrian Neville defending against Sami Zayn.
What will be interesting about this, is it will be a career vs title match. Neville has been Champion since February of this year, so in all likelihood, we will be getting a new Champion. It probably means that Neville will debut on WWE’s main television shows in the near future. There’s also talk of Zayn being promoted to the big league soon. Whatever happens, Neville vs Zayn is going to be an absolutely excellent encounter. You need to watch this match.
Also on the card will be –
Nxt Women’s Title Match
Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte
Nxt Tag Team Title Match
Aiden English and Simon Gotch vs.
