Tofiq Musayev ready for 'different level' in UFC on ABC 8 debut
Tofiq Musayev ready for 'different level' in UFC on ABC 8 debut Tofiq Musaev enters his UFC on ABC 8 debut with a more decorated resume than most newcomers, but he knows stepping into the octagon is something unto itself. Musayev (22-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who won the 2019 Rizin FF lightweight grand prix and has beaten the likes of Patricky Freire, Johnny Case and Sidney Outlaw, will test himself against the 155-pound roster in the UFC starting with Saturday's matchup against Myktybek Orolbai (13-2-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) at Baku Crystal Hall in Azerbaijan (ABC, ESPN, ESPN+). "It's a dream of all fighters to be fighting in the UFC," Musayev said through an interpreter at Wednesday's UFC on ABC 8 media day. "It's a different level of course. I feel very lucky that I'm ere. I have fought in different organizations but this is a unique one. I have prepared well and I am going to represent my country with pride. I have prepared specifically for my opponent." Although Musayev has proven himself to be high level, there's speculation about whether, at 35, he's coming into the shark tank of the UFC's lightweight division too late to rise to the top. Only time will tell, but he intends to give it his best shot. "Age is just a number for me," Musayev said. "If anyone thinks otherwise, they shouldn't even be competing in the UFC." "I'm focused on my opponent and later on I will focus on the next steps. This fight will determine what the next fights will be."

Oasis Conference hopes to teach live lessons using power of sports
Sports can teach so much, and that's the goal of the upcoming Oasis Conference. It's life lessons off the field or court that can lead to progress, teamwork and success. Oasis is part of Orange Arrow, a non-profit operating in Pittsburgh for more than a decade. The goal is to show children paths to success on and off the field. Advertisement Orange Arrow founder Shawn Robinson decided to expand these lessons to adults in hopes of forging conversations, relationships and collaboration. 'I think we need to cast as wide a net as we can and try to touch as many people as we can to help make our collective world a better place,' said Steelers Media Relations Director Burt Lauten. 'The great thing is that we teach and educate these young student athletes to do it the right way, to not just be able to tell it in your own words, but do it the right way, and make sure that it's understanding and it's professional.' 'The great part about adults is we teach our children what we know, what we learn. So by Shawn going out and extending the web a little bit more to reach adults, I think it's a great idea,' said E.J. Borghetti from Pitt's Athletic Department." Lauten and Borghetti are among the speakers set for the Oasis Conference. The goal is to transform the sports community by fostering winning teams within organizations. Both know Robinson well from his time as a Pitt football player. Advertisement 'The ball stops bouncing for everybody. Sean realized that he was an excellent player at Pitt, but then you have all this life ahead of you, and yet that very small time you have it as an athlete can impress ideals and lessons and values upon you that you will use for decades to come,' Borghetti said. 'You have the younger kids, the kids that are coming up that when the ball stops bouncing, as EJ said, they already have an understanding of what it means to be in the community, what it means to be a leader, what it means to empower others, what it means to be financially stable and everything,' Lauten added. The subject of Borghetti's and Lauten's panel is the power of storytelling, and what comes with it, both good and bad. 'Whether it's somebody that they may not know off the field or whatever it may be, once you tell that story, it's almost like their perception, even around the building, around their peers, around their teammates changes,' Lauten said. 'It could be something tragic that happened to them, that they use that as a sounding board to get through their own personal feelings.' Advertisement Both discussed local athletes like the Steelers' Cam Heyward. Through his foundation, Heyward House, he has shared stories of success and hope. His is just one of many stories like this. 'If we tell a story about a Pittsburgh Steeler that maybe some people don't know, an off-the-field type story, it's interesting. Then how many other players, staff or fans say, 'hey, I had somebody go through something similiar,'' Lauten said. Borghetti reflected on a conversation he had with former Pitt running back James Conner, when he was going through treatment for lymphoma. 'I remember having that conversation with James in the green room of the Ellen Show,' Borghetti reflected. 'We were talking, and I said, 'you know, I don't know how many football fans are going to be watching this today, but there's a lot of people who are going to be watching, and they may not know you now, but they're going to listen to your story, and somebody's going to be out there who's going through a time of adversity and struggle. They're going to hear how heroically you're handling all this, and they're going to get up and say, You know what, I'm going to try, I'm going to try again. I'm going to get myself up.'' Advertisement It's all part of a responsibility that we all have, not just to share these stories, but to really listen and learn from them. 'For the good of the athlete, for the good of the student, and for the good of the larger public sports, isn't just about numbers,' Borghetti said. 'It's about the human, their struggle, their pursuit of greatness and the excellence they achieve. I think people want to hear those stories. They want to be inspired.' There are many more well-known speakers set up for the Oasis Conference, including keynote speaker Jim Tressel, who was the head football coach at Ohio State University for years.

How to watch Phoenix Mercury vs New York Liberty: Live stream info, preview for Thursday's game
The New York Liberty host the Phoenix Mercury this Thursday, June 19, at 7:00 PM ET at Barclays Center, marking the first meeting between the two teams this season. After picking up their first loss of the season against the Indiana Fever last Saturday, the Liberty bounced back, defeating the Atlanta Dream 86-81 on Tuesday night. Atlanta led 62-47 halfway through the third quarter, but the reigning WNBA champions rallied back. Sabrina Ionescu scored a team-high 34 points in the win, along with 5 assists and 7 rebounds. It was Ionescu's first time scoring 30 points in consecutive games — she also had 34 in the loss against the Fever on June 14. For the first time in her @WNBA career, Sabrina Ionescu has recorded back-to-back 30-point games. This also marks the first pair of consecutive 30-point outings this season across the WNBA. Sabrina joins Breanna Stewart as the only players in Liberty franchise history to do so. 'I was really proud of the way that we fought. That game could have easily gone the other direction,' said Ionescu. 'You were able to see a team that stayed together, dug deep, and just figured it out on the fly. I'm really impressed by our ability to do that. ' Breanna Stewart finished with 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Jonquel Jones added 10 points and had 10 rebounds in the win. The Phoenix Mercury are coming off a 76-70 road win against the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday. Satou Sabally led the way for the Mercury with 22 points and 9 rebounds, while Alyssa Thomas scored 14 points and a team-high 13 assists. This stat belongs to one player and one player only: Alyssa Thomas. Kahleah Copper, making her return after a preseason injury, finished with 11 points. The Mercury guard, who led the team in scoring last season, underwent a left knee arthroscopy in early May. Her last game was against the Aces on May 6 during preseason.
