Downtown Denver goes bananas for Savannah Bananas weekend

Kamaru Usman: Paddy Pimblett title shot 'spits in the face of the merit' of top contenders
Kamaru Usman thinks it's unfair if Paddy Pimblett ends up getting the next UFC title shot. It was Pimblett (22-4 MMA, 7-0 UFC) who got to face off with newly crowned lightweight champion Ilia Topuria in the octagon immediately after the conclusion of the UFC 317 main event – despite top contenders Arman Tsarukyan (23-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) and Justin Gaethje (26-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) also being in attendance. Topuria (17-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) dismissed Tsarukyan as his next title challenger, going as far as saying he'd vacate his belt before fighting him. "El Matador" zoned in on Pimblett or Gaethje as his first title defense, but Usman says Pimblett shouldn't be in the title conversation just yet. "It's not Paddy's fault. Paddy has done a great job with the opposition he's been given to even put himself in this conversation," Usman said on his "Pound 4 Pound" podcast with Henry Cejudo. "Paddy's done a phenomenal job. But if we look at the lightweight rankings, you've got Ilia Topuria, and I'm assuming next you've got Arman Tsarukyan. "It makes sense. If you're not going to do Arman Tsarukyan or you're not going to do Justin Gaethje, you've got Dan Hooker there, Mateusz Gamrot, Beneil Dariush in front of Paddy Pimblett. So to skip all of these guys just to give him a title shot, that kind of spits in the face of the merit of the best fights the next best guy." Chael Sonnen told MMA Junkie that's he's certain the UFC plans on giving Tsarukyan the shot next, with Tsarukyan hinting that he's onto something. "If it was Justin Gaethje, you would have made the fight already," Usman said. "But the fact that you haven't made that fight already tells me that you want Justin Gaethje to maybe have another fight. So if that's the case, it's got to be Arman Tsarukyan. Easy as that."

ESPN ranks Georgia QB Gunner Stockton among college football's most important players
Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton is widely considered a key player for the 2025 college football season with ESPN including him among the nation's 40-most important players. This is expected to be Stockton's first full season as the starting quarterback, but he has prior experience in high-pressure situations. He notably led the Bulldogs to an overtime victory against Texas after Carson Beck suffered an injury in the second half of the SEC championship. He put up a solid effort in his first career start during the College Football Playoff against Notre Dame, despite the loss. "Georgia has the highest floor in the sport," wrote ESPN's Bill Connelly. "But the Dawgs' ceiling will be defined by Stockton and a receiving corps that didn't do nearly enough for its QBs last season." Connelly ranks Stockton as the second-most important player in the country behind Texas QB Arch Manning. Georgia has talent at every position, but Stockton is one of Georgia's biggest questions entering the 2025 season. Georgia coach Kirby Smart went inside the transfer portal got two impact players with Zachariah Branch (USC) and Noah Thomas (Texas A&M). These two bring a new flavor for the Georgia offense. Colbie Young returns as well after dealing with off-field issues last year. Wide receiver coach James Coley got one five-star and multiple four-star receivers to add to the depth of the wide receiver position. Connelly ranks Branch as the 20th-most important players in the country and considers him to be one of the nation's most important non-QBs in the country. Overall, Stockton should have plenty of weapons this year. With a full offseason under his belt the offense will be catered to Stockton's skills and he has a chance to bring back consistency to the UGA offense.
