Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane: Odds and what to know ahead of UFC 321 headliner
Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane preview
Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) was upgraded from interim to undisputed champion in June when UFC CEO Dana White announced that Jon Jones had informed the promotion of his retirement from MMA. The Brit claimed the interim strap with a knockout of Sergei Pavlovich in November 2023, then subsequently defended it in July 2024 with another quick finish against Curtis Blaydes, avenging his only octagon defeat.
Gane (13-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) will look to finally get his hands on the undisputed heavyweight belt after falling short in previous bids against Jones and Francis Ngannou. The Frenchman is coming off a highly controversial split decision victory over Alexander Volkov at UFC 310 in December.

Mega update ready to trigger Alexander Isak to Liverpool
Liverpool are getting closer and closer to a deal for Alexander Isak. The Reds are doing all they can to smash the transfer record. Liverpool have broken their transfer record this summer to bring Florian Wirtz to the club. They've paid an initial £100m to Bayer Leverkusen for Wirtz, with it potentially rising to £117m. Shop the LFC Store LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now And now they want to do it again. Liverpool are eager to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United in what would certainly be a club-record transfer. In all likelihood, it would break the British transfer record, too. Sacha Tavolieri tells Sky Sports that Liverpool think a deal could happen at £120m, which would break that record. Newcastle, though, are understandably making things difficult. They don't want to lose Isak, who has been their standout player since arriving from Real Sociedad. However, Isak wants to move to Liverpool, resulting in him being absent from their pre-season tour and their new kit launch. Now a major sign that a deal will be done has jumped out. Liverpool are looking good here. Benjamin Sesko to Newcastle United The Telegraph reports that Newcastle are now favourites to land Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. That means they're ahead of Manchester United in the race. Now, the only way that could possibly happen is if Sesko had guarantees over playing time. Those guarantees would not be there, surely, if Isak were remaining at the club. There was talk of Newcastle wanting to play 4-4-2 with Isak and Hugo Ekitike, of course, before the Frenchman joined Liverpool. But we're not sure a Sesko - Isak attack is one that makes any sense, given the players at the club.

Disney Says Upfront Volume Is Flat Despite Surge in Sports Ads
Walt Disney Co. says notable surges in advertising dollars committed to sports and streaming helped it match what it secured in last year's 'upfront' volume — but weren't enough to help it surpass that total. The parent of ABC, Disney+ and Hulu said overall 'upfront' volume was 'consistent with last year,' suggesting that TV companies are continuing to struggle to win greater advertising support even as Madison Avenue gravitates to the types of sports programming that Disney supplies through ESPN and its various platforms. More from Variety How to Watch Savannah Bananas Live Online Without Cable for Free Xander Zayas vs. Jorge Garcia Livestream: How to Watch Top Rank Boxing Event Online Box Office: 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' Clobbers $57 Million Opening Day - Second-Biggest of the Year In 2024, Disney said it was able to win a 5% uptick in overall ad commitments tied to the upfront, when TV companies try to sell the bulk of their advertising inventory ahead of the industry's next cycle of programming. 'As the velocity of change in the advertising landscape continues to accelerate, this Upfront demonstrates the enduring power of storytelling, premium environments, and that the value of trusted relationships matter to marketers,' said Rita Ferro, Disney's president of global advertising. 'Our strength in streaming and live events delivers results at scale, and we're shaping what's next for the entire industry.' Disney's upfront results come after both NBCUniversal and Fox Corp. said they were able to win increases in volume from advertisers, owing to a heavy sports schedule. NBCU likely took a good chunk of money that had previously been earmarked for NBA telecasts on Warner Bros. Discovery's TNT, owing to a transfer of rights that put the league's games on NBC, Peacock and Amazon. NBC and Amazon launched early efforts to win that money — as well as, for NBC, dollars tied to next year's Winter Olympics and Super Bowl. Disney, too, saw robust spending tied to sports. The company said it secured sports-ad commitments across linear and digital worth 'nearly $4 billion.' Advertising committed to NBA games, which Disney continues to hold rights for, grew in the high-single-digit percentage range, driven in particular by the NBA Finals and expectations for 'Inside the NBA,' the popular TNT studio show that to which ESPN has secured rights. Ad volume tied to 'Monday Night Football' and college-football telecasts grew in the double-digit-percentage range, Disney said. Women's sports saw ad commitments grow in a similar range. Streaming volume was also up, Disney said, and 'accounted for more than 40% of total upfront volume, consistent with last year's market. The company also saw commitments increase for live live events, and noted it had secured 'early bookings' for 'The Oscars,' 'CMA Awards,' and 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest.' The company indicated that it almost doubled the number of ad units sold in the upfront tied to its annual 'Oscars' telecast, for which Disney usually seeks between $1.7 million and $2.2 million for a 30-second to come… Best of Variety New Movies Out Now in Theaters: What to See This Week 'Harry Potter' TV Show Cast Guide: Who's Who in Hogwarts?
