Robert Whittaker: If Khamzat Chimaev can't stop Dricus Du Plessis on the ground, he loses
Robert Whittaker doesn't see Khamzat Chimaev surviving a five-round war with Dricus Du Plessis. Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) defends his middleweight title against Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in the UFC 319 main event on Aug. 16 from United Center in Chicago (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). Whittaker suffered stoppage losses to both Du Plessis and Chimaev. He was quickly submitted in his most recent outing against Chimaev at UFC 308 last October. However, with Chimaev showing a tendency to slow down in his only two decision wins against Gilbert Burns and Kamaru Usman, Whittaker questions his ability to survive the championship rounds against Du Plessis – if he's dragged there. "Honestly, I have to say Dricus would be a favorite," Whittaker told FOX Sports Australia. "I think I'm leaning towards Dricus. The whole thing can be summed up – Chimaev will take him down. It's will he finish him before he gets back up? That's the million-dollar question because if he doesn't finish him on the ground, I think he loses." Former middleweight champion Whittaker (26-8 MMA, 17-6 UFC) will look to rebound when he takes on Reinier de Ridder (20-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) in the UFC on ABC 9 headliner July 26 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. "Four fights, I see the light at the end of the tunnel," Whittaker said on his future. "I want four more. I see the stepping stones needed to do what I want to do. Four fights gets me into that title shot, gets me into a position to finish on top, to have that fairytale ending. So, I'm working towards it."

Clint Capela returns to Rockets in $21.5 million sign-and-trade with Hawks
The post Clint Capela returns to Rockets in $21.5 million sign-and-trade with Hawks appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Houston Rockets' offseason continues to get better as they reunite with Clint Capela. Advertisement Capela will sign a three-year, $21.5 million deal with the Rockets, ESPN's NBA insider Shams Charania reported on Monday. 'Free agent center Clint Capela has agreed to a three-year, $21.5 million deal with the Houston Rockets, sources tell ESPN. Major frontcourt addition – and return to Houston for Capela,' Charania said. The Rockets will complete the move via sign-and-trade. They will send a 2031 second-round pick and cash to the Atlanta Hawks to carry out the transaction, per NBA insider Brett Siegel. Houston selected Capela with the 25th pick of the 2014 NBA Draft. He represented them for six seasons as he made his way up the rotation until securing the starting job. Departing in the 2020 offseason, he averaged 12.2 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game after 334 appearances. Advertisement This past season with the Atlanta Hawks saw him produce 8.9 points, 8.5 rebounds and a block per contest after 55 games. What's next for Rockets after landing Clint Capela Erik Williams-Imagn Images With Clint Capela returning to Houston, the Rockets have stacked up their center position with quality big men. They have Alperen Sengun commanding the starter spot while Capela and Steven Adams will handle the backup minutes. It's clear that the Rockets will prioritize depth in the frontcourt in case injuries happen during the regular season. And when it comes to playoff experience, Capela has a lot of it. He's played in eight postseasons, the deepest being his three Conference Finals runs with the Rockets in 2015 and 2018 and Hawks in 2021. Advertisement This will greatly benefit Houston as they will have centers who will rebound the ball at a high rate while being solid rim-protectors. Even though Capela continues to be inconsistent at the free-throw line, he makes up for it with his rebounding and physicality inside the arc. The Rockets will continue to progress through the offseason, especially after landing Dorian Finney-Smith from the Los Angeles Lakers. It is clear that Houston is going all in on the championship push, boasting Sengun, Kevin Durant, Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr., and Fred VanVleet as their core. Adding Capela to their bench rotation only improves their chances of being a serious threat next season.

Wimbledon's first week has proved it's not just about the tennis
The first week at Wimbledon has been emotional. There have been more subplots than Love Actually, including Taylor Fritz finding his inner superhero, the AELTC changing tradition in honor of the late Diogo Jota, and Ons Jabeur pulling up lame on the first morning. LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 04: Emma Raducanu of Great Britain congratulates Aryna Sabalenka at the net ... More following her victory in their Ladies' Singles third round match on day five of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 04, 2025 in London, England. (Photo) The opening of Wimbledon was a manic Monday rather than a gentle stroll in the English garden for Carlos Alcaraz. After defeating Fabio Fognini over five sets and almost four and a half hours, the defending champion probably felt like another three days in Ibiza. For a clay court specialist, Fognini did a good impression of Roger Federer. This was a memorable starter in the men's singles between a 22-year-old and a 38-year-old. All credit to Fognini that the 38-year-old wasn't Novak Djokovic. Taylor Fritz had his first Superman moment in 2022 when the world No. 5 played a remarkable point against Britain's Alastair Gray. Fritz eventually reached the quarter-finals where he met his kryptonite, Rafael Nadal. He beat the serve bombs of Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard after trailing by two sets to one and 1-5 in the fourth set tiebreak, repeating the five-star entertainment against Gabriel Diallo in another late-night thriller. Taylor Fritz is now certified popcorn viewing. On Independence Day, the Californian only had to engage Clark Kent mode with a functional win over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Friday. Watch this space to see if the American dream of winning Wimbledon for the first time in 25 years comes true. That would elevate Fritz above Swift for a few hours at least. "It definitely sucks,' said Coco Gauff after her first-round Wimbledon exit to Dayana Yastremska, the world No. 42. Grass kind of sucks for the French Open champion who has never been beyond the last 16 at SW19. The lack of preparation on the surface showed up after a similarly ugly exit in Berlin. Gauff announced herself on Centre Court as a 15-year-old back in 2019 when she beat Venus Williams. She needs to feel the love for nature again. Once upon a time, Ons Jabeur had a picture of the Venus Rosewater Dish on her mobile phone. That's how much she wanted it. In 2022 and 2023, there was only one player better than the Tunisian at Sw19. Now, there are officially 58 above her in the rankings. Jabeur's 2025 Wimbledon ended anonymously on Court 14 against Viktoriya Tomova. Jabeur was in tears and had to leave the court for a medical timeout within half-an-hour. The loss of a first-set tiebreak melted her body and spirit as she retired early in the second. "I'm trying to repeat some positive words to myself. I don't want to carry the disappointment that happened before and then hopefully I can move on with it,' said the three-time major runner-up before the match. She looked like she was carrying a backpack of despair. Alexander Zverev isn't the most demonstrative of players at the best of times, but the German is going through the worst of times. After losing to world No. 72 Arthur Rinderknech in the first round - his earliest ever Grand Slam exit - the third seed was very transparent about his feelings. 'I've never felt this empty before. Just lacking joy, just lacking joy in everything that I do. It's not necessarily about tennis. Just lacking joy outside of tennis, as well.' Naomi Osaka felt down after her third-round loss and that prompted the bad thoughts to resurface. 'I'm just going to be a negative human being today. I have nothing positive to say about myself, which is something I'm working on. ' Tennis press conferences really aren't the best environments for a man or woman struggling with demons. The sporting world was shocked on Thursday after the tragic death of Liverpool FC's forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre. Sensing the weight and emotional turmoil of the story, Wimbledon relaxed its 148-year all-white rule to allow players to wear armbands to pay their respects to Jota. Doubles world No.40 Francisco Cabral wore a black ribbon in his match and paid tribute to the Portuguese national striker. "Very, very sad news, not only in the sports world but in Portugal overall, because he's such an idol, such an icon, such a good person,' said Cabral, who hails from Porto. Portugal's best singles player, Nuno Borges, contacted Wimbledon officials to ask if he could wear a national football shirt on to the court for his thrilling match against Karen Khachanov. The request was declined. LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 04: Taylor Fritz of United States dives to play a forehand against Alejandro ... More Davidovich Fokina of Spain during the Gentlemen's Singles third round match on day five of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 04, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) The words 'Emma Raducanu and Wimbledon' get the natives going and her match against Aryna Sabalenka showed that women deserve the prime time Friday evening slot. The French Open might want to take note. It was a sumptuous two hours, pitting the golden girl of British tennis against the battle-hardened warrior of Belarus. Sabalenka kept her nerve with a dinked drop shot at 5-6 in the first set tiebreak. Raducanu was great value, a far better version of her real self but still lost in straight sets. Sabalenka switched to blitzkrieg mode from 1-4 down in the second set. The last orders bar was full to the brim in the first week at Wimbledon as punters got full value for their dollar. There was Fritz's late night rendezvous with Mpetshi Perricard, which was stopped at two sets all because of Wimbledon's late night curfew. Ben Shelton couldn't dig being stopped by bad light on Thursday, especially as it only took him 59 seconds to serve it out the following day. Even Novak Djokovic couldn't get away until 10.30 pm British time on Tuesday. That would have given him enough leeway to meet Nick Kyrgios in the Dog and Fox.
