Jared Cannonier not playing analysts' 'reindeer games' ahead of UFC 319
CHICAGO – Sorry, UFC analysts and online pundits. If it's a certain middleweight's skin you're trying to get under, you can transfer to Washington. Transfer to Jefferson. Jared Cannonier isn't playing your reindeer games anymore. Cannonier (18-8 MMA, 11-8 UFC), a former UFC title challenger, meets former Bellator standout Michael Page (23-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) on Saturday at UFC 319. Page will be a small betting favorite in the fight, but his relative newness to the UFC has analysts like Joe Rogan talking more about him than when he was with the competition. And because of that, "MVP" is having labels attached to him like the game's trickiest puzzle to solve. Honestly, it sounds like Cannonier is over it. Very over it. "Everyone wants the '-est' at the end of something – and if they ain't going for that, they want to be a 'GOAT,'" Cannonier told MMA Junkie and other reporters Wednesday at media day for UFC 319 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+), which takes place at United Center, where Cannonier and Page will be part of the main card. "I really don't want to get into that pissing contest: 'Who's the biggest? Who's the bestest? Who's the baddest?' That's for everybody else to determine. I don't even want to go into that conversation. I feel like I would have to lessen myself to even think in that regard. So next question." Once they do inevitably throw some label out, like Rogan did, that means Cannonier is inevitably going to get asked about it. And that part, he's really over, as well as being underestimated by oddsmakers and bettors. He hasn't been really and truly favored since a knockout of Derek Brunson more than three years ago. "If I wanted to let (people underestimating me) motivate me, I could, 'You see what they're saying about me? I'm gonna kick their ass!' You see how stupid I look saying that sh*t?" Cannonier said "I'm a grown-ass man. I'm 41 years old. I don't play games. I don't join in any of the reindeer games. That's what I see. When I watch TV, those are reindeer games going on (with trash talking and online analysts). You guys ask me some of these questions about the reindeer games, I feel like I've got to lower my brain, lessen my thinking ability, become smaller – lessen how I even see myself to think like that and answer your questions." Cannonier got back in the win column in February with a main event knockout of Gregory Rodrigues in the fourth round. The finish was his first in three years and got him a second straight post-fight bonus award. Prior to that, as part of a two-fight skid, he dropped a Fight of the Night bout to Caio Borralho. Check out Cannonier's full media day interview above.

Clarendon Hills falls 16-1 in opening game of Little League World Series tournament
Clarendon Hills never really got going Wednesday and lost 16-1 to the Mountain Region champion from Las Vegas, Nevada, in the opening round of the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The game didn't get completely out of hand until the top of the sixth inning when the Nevada state champion scored 11 runs while sending 16 batters to the plate. After giving up a run in the top of the first, Clarendon Hills, the Great Lakes Region champion, had its best scoring chance of the game in the bottom half of the opening frame when it loaded the bases with one out on a hit batter, a walk and an error. But Nevada pitcher Garrett Gallegos struck out consecutive Clarendon Hills hitters to get out the inning without any damage. Nevada added four runs on five hits in the second inning as Clarendon Hills starting pitcher Luke Schaller gave way to Brody Herold along the way. Neither team scored again until the top of the sixth. Clarendon Hills avoided the shutout in the bottom of that final inning when Herold singled and eventually scored on an obstruction call on the Nevada third baseman. Clarendon Hills isn't scheduled to play again until 6 p.m. Saturday in the elimination bracket. The Clarendon Hills vs Nevada game was the first United States contest in the 2025 Little League World Series, which runs through Aug. 24 and includes 10 teams from different regions of the United States along with 10 from other countries. Along with Clarendon Hills and Nevada, U.S. teams regional tournament winners include teams from Fairfield, Connecticut (Metro); Uwchlan Township, Pennsylvania (Mid-Atlantic); Sioux Falls, South Dakota (Midwest); Braintree, Massachusetts (New England); Bonney Lake, Washington (Northwest); Irmo, South Carolina (Southeast); Richmond, Texas (Southwest); and Honolulu, Hawaii (West). International teams are from Taipei, Chinese Taipei (Asia-Pacific); Brisbane, Queensland (Australia); Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada); Santa Cruz, Aruba (Caribbean); Brno, Czechia (Europe-Africa); Tokyo (Japan); Barquisimeto, Venezuela (Latin America); Chihuahua (Mexico); Arraijan (Panama); and Yabucoa (Puerto Rico). The U.S. championship game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Aug. 23, following the International championship at 11:30 a.m. The World Series championship contest, pitting the U.S. and International champions, is at 2 p.m. Aug, 24. All three championship games will be broadcast on ABC. Earlier-round games are being shown on ESPN. A year ago, Clarendon Hills' neighboring village Hinsdale made its first trip to the Little League World Series, but was eliminated with shutout losses in its first two games, to teams from the West and Metro regions. In the leadup to this year's World Series tournament, Clarendon Hills had a dominating, 6-0, record in winning the Illinois State championship while outscoring opponents 60-7. But the double-elimination format proved very important in claiming both the District and Great Lakes titles. A loss to Naperville Continental in the District round put Clarendon Hills on the brink of elimination, but the same teams met in the July 13 championship, and Clarendon Hills came out on top, 8-2. Herold said the confidence boost his team got from beating Naperville Continental after losing to the same team earlier in the tournament was a factor after Clarendon Hills lost 11-1 Aug. 4 to the state champion from Ohio. A 5-2 win over Kentucky a day later gave Clarendon Hills another shot at undefeated Ohio and this time it was Clarendon Hills that managed a 9-4 victory to win the Region championship and advance to the World Series. 'This team has a lot of confidence and they all believe in each other,' Herold said. 'Even after our losses, everyone believed we were going to come back and win.' The Mountain Region champion, Summerlin South Little League from Las Vegas, Nevada, won all three of its games in San Bernardino, California, defeating Colorado, 17-0, and then Utah, 22-12 and 6-3. Summerlin South is the fourth Nevada team to make the World Series.
