All odds via FanDuel (odds subject to change).
• Amanda Lemos (+102) vs. Virna Jandiroba (-130)
• Brad Tavares (+130) vs. Jun Yong Park (-166)
• Steve Garcia (-154) vs. Seung Woo Choi (+120)
• Kurt Holobaugh (+110) vs. Kaynan Kruschewsky (-140)
• Cody Durden (-120) vs. Bruno Silva (-106)
• Bill Algeo (-174) vs. Doo Ho Choi (+136)
• Hyder Amil (+162) vs. Jung Yong Lee (-210)
• Brian Kelleher (+164) vs. Cody Gibson (-215)
• Miranda Maverick (-225) vs. Dione Barbosa (+172)
• Loik Radzhabov (-122) vs. Trey Ogden (-104)
• Luana Carolina (-111) vs. Lucie Pudilová (-115)
• Mohammed Usman (-136) vs. Thomas Peterson (+106)
Coming off a decision-win over another experienced veteran in Kurt Holobaugh, Ogden now has an interesting matchup in front of him when he meets Radzhabov in Las Vegas. “The Tajik Tank” gave Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady a rude welcome to the UFC earlier this year, but Ogden is more than capable of grinding out a decision in a fight that should showcase some high-level grappling.
Durden was submitted by Tagir Ulanbekov in his last outing, but prior to that the 33-year-old was on an impressive four-fight winning streak. He and Silva were previously booked to meet last September, and although “Bulldog” definitely presents some problems on the feet Durden will likely try to bring things to the mat as soon as possible.
It’s hard to forget how lopsided Lemos’ strawweight title bid against Weili Zhang was at UFC 292, but she did get back into the win column with a strong showing against Mackenzie Dern at UFC 298. While Jandiroba has looked good during her current three-fight win streak I don’t think she should be the favorite here, especially given the fact that it’s her first five-round main event.
This is an important fight for Tavares after the longtime middleweight staple has gone 1-3 over his last four appearances. Park was on a four-fight win streak that included three submissions before he lost a close decision to Andre Muniz late last year, but given how reliable Tavares’ takedown defense has been throughout his career he should be able to keep the South Korean from bringing the fight to his preferred area.
Four-straight wins via KO/TKO would be quite a feat, but why not take a flier and ride with Garcia given his last three performances? Choi’s knockout-loss to Michael Trizano in 2022 was just the second time he’s been stopped with strikes in his career, but as long as the fight stays standing “Mean Machine” is always a threat to land something big.
Lee is still hunting for his first UFC finish, but the majority of his wins have come via stoppage and he famously scored two knockouts in under a minute on Road to UFC. Amil debuted earlier this year with a TKO-win over Fernie Garcia, and another big finish could see “The Hurricane” upset the South Korean and avoid his first professional loss.
Kelleher has been stopped in the first round of his last three fights, and while Gibson is also desperately in need of a win here I don’t know that he’ll get reckless enough to give “Boom” a chance to land a big shot. A fourth-straight loss (especially via finish) would almost certainly spell the end of Kelleher’s time with the UFC, and with Gibson also potentially fighting for his job I see both men avoiding any major risks before going to the scorecards.
Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.

According to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk, New York Jets starting quarterback Justin Fields did not throw a pass that traveled 10 yards in the air during his two preseason appearances. Some have voiced concerns about the Jets' passing attack with Fields in the lineup, but he insisted while speaking with reporters on Tuesday that he's "fine with taking eight-yard completions every play." On Wednesday, Jets offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand addressed Fields' comment. "He's going to play the play the way the defense allows him to play it," Engstrand said about Fields, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. "So if they're going to allow him to take a shot down the field, he's going to take it. If they don't allow him, he's going to check the ball down, and we'll move on to the next play. We're all good with that." Fields completed just one of five passes for four yards in the Jets' 31-12 loss to the New York Giants on Saturday. According to Fox Sports, he connected on four of nine pass attempts for 46 yards across his first two preseason appearances of the summer. Despite such lackluster numbers, first-year Jets head coach Aaron Glenn suggested on Tuesday that he is ignoring "the noise that happens on the outside" regarding the team's passing offense. On Wednesday, Jets passing game coordinator Scott Turner praised Fields for knowing when to take a checkdown and when to challenge an opposing defense. "I think you've seen a lot of quarterbacks in this league, Josh Allen pops into mind, who really cut down his turnovers last year and won MVP by not always trying to make the big huge play, but make the right play. Justin has done a nice job with that," Turner said. ESPN stats show that Fields averaged 6.9 yards per pass attempt over six starts and 10 appearances with the Pittsburgh Steelers last season. Per Pro Football Reference, 22 qualified quarterbacks had a better yards per pass attempt average for the 2024 campaign. Dan Graziano of ESPN noted Wednesday that the $10M guaranteed that the Jets owe Fields for 2026 "won't prevent them from" looking for an upgrade at the position next year if he doesn't make "a major leap as a passer." It's still early into this experiment, but there's no sign that such a leap is coming anytime soon.
The Green Bay Packers are about to kick off their 2025 NFL regular season, so it feels like a good time for some of the players to look back at some of the key moments and experiences they’ve had in the offseason. For quarterback Jordan Love and tight end Luke Musgrave, the 2025 NFL offseason will always be one that they’ll cherish — and not just because of anything that’s football-related. Love and Musgrave both got married to their respective longtime girlfriends in the offseason. The signal-caller tied the knot with Ronika Stone in June, while Musgrave and Madi Weisner exchanged vows in July. Ronika Stone’s wedding lookback gets Green Bay tight end’s wife’s reactions Mrs. Love recently shared a post on Instagram that shows a series of snapshots from her wedding with the Packers’ signal caller. “Every detail was SPECTACULAR ,” Ronika wrote as a caption for the post. She clearly is still awed by how her wedding looked that day, with several beautiful flower arrangements adorning the special day. Ronika’s post drew plenty of comments, including one from Mrs. Musgrave, who wrote “UNREAL.” It’s great to see Packers players’ wives showing support for each other just as Love and Musgrave do on the field. For Musgrave, he is looking to have a big rebound in 2025 after only appearing in seven games and coming up with 45 receiving yards with zero touchdowns and only a couple of first downs on seven receptions and 10 targets. The Packers, who will play the Seattle Seahawks at home this Saturday for both teams’ 2025 NFL preseason finale, will face the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field in Week 1 of the 2025 regular season.
The New York Yankees have been having a rough couple of months, losing their once-dominant lead of the AL East. Now, both Yankees manager Aaron Boone and general manager Brian Cashman are on the receiving end of some tough words by a former player, outfielder Clint Frazier. Boone has been criticized by a number of analysts (not to mention Yankees fans) for lineup and mid-game moves that range from head-scratching to downright bizarre, especially for a team that has been having a hard time securing wins. Cashman has repeatedly defended Boone, arguing that is knowledge of the players' capabilities is driving his decisions. To Frazier, Cashman's defense of Boone is self-serving because Cashman is the person who is responsible for Boone's tenure as manager. “When Cashman comes out and gives support to Boone, lowkey, I kind of feel like that’s self-preservation,” Frazier said on his podcast. “I know his resume is insane, but when he gives the confidence boost to Boone, I was saying ‘he’s got to, because Booney is the frontline of defense for him. I brought this guy in, and I have to support him, because he’s my guy.' Boone is Cashman’s shadow a little bit." Frazier, who played for the Pinstripes from 2017 to 2021, went on to discuss the Yankees' playoff chances, criticizing Boone for his lineup and mid-game decisions, which he claims will impact the team negatively during the post-season. “You need to make sure that you aren’t walking into it with bad decisions, because these are the decisions they’ll be doing in the playoffs,” he said. “They’re going to be way more under the microscope in the playoffs... You’ve got to make sure that you’re buttoned up and ready to go. If you start firing from the hip, it becomes a mockery of what every guy is trying to do.” While the Yankees are doing better now than they were at the time of Frazier's comments, surpassing the Boston Red Sox for second place in the AL East and securing the top spot in the AL Wild Card standings, they still aren't consistent. For New York to secure a trip to the World Series for the second year in a row, they're going to have to play better, which requires Boone to make better decisions.

Super Troopers 3: Winter Soldiers is officially rolling into production this August, bringing back the cult-favorite comedy franchise that first won over audiences in 2001. Fans of Broken Lizard’s offbeat humor can rejoice, Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske are all back as the delightfully chaotic Vermont State Troopers. Chandrasekhar, who directed the first two installments, is once again steering the ship as both director and co-writer, ensuring the third chapter retains the sharp, anarchic spirit that made the series a cult phenomenon. Super Troopers 3: From Cult Classic to Comedy Legacy The franchise began with Super Troopers in 2001, a low-budget indie comedy that grew into a beloved sleeper hit. The 2018 sequel, Super Troopers 2, funded largely through crowdfunding, proved the appetite was still there, grossing over $30 million worldwide. That success cemented Broken Lizard’s ability to blend slapstick chaos with sly, clever nonsense that still resonates with audiences nearly two decades later. Now, with Super Troopers 3: Winter Soldiers, the troupe is ready to push the absurdity even further. A Bold New Cast Joins the Mayhem This time around, the core cast won’t be riding solo. Super Troopers 3 is adding new comedic energy to the mix with several fresh faces: Nat Faxon (The Descendants, Oscar-winner) as Captain Todd Markowski Chace Crawford (The Boys) as Baker Buchanan Andrew Dismukes (Saturday Night Live) as Coy Burns Fan favorites are also back: Brian Cox returns as the ever-gruff Captain John O’Hagan, while Marisa Coughlan reprises her role as Ursula Hanson. The expanded lineup signals plenty of fresh dynamics and new comedic beats that promise to keep both longtime fans and newcomers laughing. Searchlight Pictures and Broken Lizard Team Up Again Super Troopers 3 is being produced with Searchlight Pictures, a frequent partner of Broken Lizard. Searchlight’s president, Matthew Greenfield, praised the franchise for its unique charm, saying the troopers “make the ridiculous feel natural” while spreading “joy and laughter wherever they go.” Chandrasekhar added his flair, declaring: “It’s mustache-growing time!”—a line bound to ignite excitement among fans who’ve long associated the series with its iconic facial hair and mischief. What to Expect from Winter Soldiers While official plot details are being kept under wraps, the subtitle Winter Soldiers suggests a frosty new setting, likely featuring snowbound highways, icy antics, and the troopers’ trademark brand of irreverent comedy. If history is any indication, expect plenty of inside jokes, absurd traffic stops, and unpredictable scenarios that double down on Broken Lizard’s anarchic formula. Looking Ahead Though no release date has been confirmed, Super Troopers 3 is expected to hit theaters in 2026. With audiences increasingly hungry for theatrical comedy, the timing couldn’t be better. The return of the Vermont State Troopers promises not only nostalgia for longtime fans but also fresh laughs for a new generation. After more than 20 years, Super Troopers remains a benchmark for how cult comedies can thrive. And with this latest installment, the franchise looks primed to continue its legacy, blending absurdity, wit, and mustached mischief for years to come.
