UFC 313 video: Carlos Leal lives up to massive odds, pummels Alex Morono
Carlos Leal was the biggest betting favorite on the UFC 313 card, and he performed as such against Alex Morono.
Leal (22-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC) laid heavy leather to the chin of Morono (24-12 MMA, 13-9 UFC) early and often in Saturday's welterweight preliminary bout at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, tagging his opponent with hard shots en route to a standing TKO at the 4:16 mark of Round 1.
Check out the replay of the Brazilian's handiwork below (via X):
A first win doesn't look much better than that 👏@TheLionMiranda is another name to mention at welterweight 👀

After losing a controversial split decision to Rinat Fakhretdinov in his UFC debut last October, Leal rebounded with the strong performance in his sophomore promotional showing.
'As far as I'm concerned, I'm 2-0,' Leal told Joe Rogan through an interpreter during his post-fight interview. 'I know this, you know this, my former opponent knows this. Right now I'm 2-0 in the UFC.'

Rayo Vallecano and Mallorca interested in Marseille defender Luiz Felipe
One uneventful and injury-ridden half-season at the Vélodrome later and Olympique de Marseille defender Luiz Felipe (28) could be on his way out of the club. According to a report from Matteo Moretto, Spanish sides Rayo Vallecano and Mallorca are interested in signing the Brazilian-Italian, with Marseille pursuing other centre-back options ahead of their return to the UEFA Champions League. Luiz Felipe has only appeared in four matches since becoming OM's first signing of the January transfer window, and has been plagued with injuries throughout his six months in the Provence region. Advertisement The former Real Betis defender joined OM after terminating his contract with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad. He arrived with an injury problem which plagued his time with the club. Whilst he notably featured during Marseille's 3-1 defeat to PSG in Le Classique, he would go on to suffer a hamstring injur which saw him sidelined during the run-in and OM's eventual qualification for the UEFA Champions League. Les Olympiens have been linked with several centre-back targets during the Summer transfer window, including Lens' Facundo Medina, Al-Nassr's Aymeric Laporte – but they are firstly closing in on a deal for Burnley's CJ Egan-Riley, who is set to imminently join the club along with fellow English compatriot Angel Gomes.

‘Allez l'OM' – Noa Lang reciprocates Marseille's transfer interest
In a video shared on social media, PSV Eindhoven winger Noa Lang (25) reciprocated Olympique de Marseille's interest. The Netherlands international has been a target for Marseille as they look to bring in a winger before the start of the next season, following the departure of Luis Henrique (23), who joined Internazionale Milan for approximately €26 million ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup. Advertisement Lang is thought to be available for around €20 million, and was reported to be open to leaving the Eredivisie champions. A report that appears to be confirmed, following a video where the winger is asked to come to Marseille, and responds 'Allez l'OM' while making the sign of Marseille rapper Jul. The PSV man is not the only winger that Marseille are looking at. Les Phocéens have also been linked with Feyenoord's Igor Paixao (24). However, a deal for the Brazilian appears to be far harder to strike, with Feyenoord thought to be asking for around €30 million, whereas PSV are said to be asking for €20 million for Lang.
