Inside Ilia Topuria's heavy UFC 317 gamble: ‘That's a lot of meat'
For Ilia Topuria, it's on to bigger and better things at UFC 317. Oh, and it's on to more enjoyable things as well, now that the undefeated former featherweight champion is gunning for a second UFC title on Saturday in Las Vegas when he takes on ex-lightweight champ Charles Oliveira for the vacant 155-pound strap. 'I feel much, much better,' said Topuria, speaking with The Post recently via video call. 'That 10 pounds makes the difference; trust me. Just imagine 10 pounds of meat on the table; that's a lot of meat.' Really, though, Topuria (16-0, 14 finishes) was sapping his body of 10 extra pounds of water to reach the 145-pound limit for each of his championship fights — a pair of victories over divisional legends Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway that earned him 2024 fighter of the year recognition.

Report: Knicks interview Wolves assistant Micah Nori
Minnesota Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori is the third candidate to formally interview for the New York Knicks' vacant head coaching position, ESPN reported Tuesday. Former NBA head coaches Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins previously met with the team about replacing fired head coach Tom Thibodeau, dismissed earlier this month after the Knicks' first Eastern Conference finals appearance in a quarter-century. Nori, 51, has been on Chris Finch's staff in Minnesota since 2021. The Timberwolves denied the Knicks' request for an interview with Finch. Nori previously worked as an assistant with the Detroit Pistons (2018-21), Denver Nuggets (2015-18), Sacramento Kings (2013-15) and Toronto Raptors (2009-13). Brown, 55, was fired 31 games into his third season as the head coach in Sacramento, where he posted a 107-88 overall record. The two-time NBA Coach of the Year also led the Cleveland Cavaliers (2005-10, 2013-14) and Los Angeles Lakers (2011-12) and has a career record of 454-304 in the regular season. The Memphis Grizzlies fired Jenkins, 40, in March with nine games left in the regular season and a 44-29 record. He compiled a 250-214 record in nearly six full seasons with the Grizzlies. They qualified for the playoffs three times. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2023 - All Rights Reserved
