Kris Moutinho opens up on dark time after UFC release: I was close to 'ending it all'
Kris Moutinho opens up on dark time after UFC release: I was close to 'ending it all' ATLANTA – Kris Moutinho had very dark thoughts after his original stint in the UFC ended. Moutinho (14-6 MMA, 0-2 UFC) made his UFC debut on short notice against former bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley in July 2021. He lost the fight by third-round TKO at UFC 264 but earned a Fight of the Night bonus for his effort, which made him a fan favorte. But Moutinho would receive his walking papers after getting finished by Guido Cannetti in the first round at UFC Fight Night 203. That's when things took a really bad turn for the 32-year-old. "I went through a really bad time with relationships, with everything else," Moutinho told MMA Junkie and other reporters during Wednesday's UFC on ESPN 69 media day. "My life was just a mess. I was very close to ending this thing, ending it all and being done. "I don't want to talk too much about it, but it was a bad time, one of the worst times in my life. I found the girl I'm with now, my beautiful girlfriend. She saved me, saved my life, helped me find God a lot better, and I'm just in a better place." Moutinho has been given a second chance in the UFC after putting together a five-fight winning streak. However, the opportunity will come on short notice once again, and it'll be against undefeated Malcolm Wellmaker (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) on Saturday's UFC on ESPN 69 (ESPN, ESPN+) prelims at State Farm Arena. Despite the far-from-ideal circumstances, Moutinho insists he's at peace. "I feel like I'm where God put me, where I'm supposed to be," Moutinho said. "I feel like this is the guy that should have been here in 2021, the guy that is mentally focused, enjoys this stuff again. Then, I was just kind of going through the motions, and I was happy to be here, but I was kind of just happy to be here. I'm not that guy no more. I don't care. I'm coming to kill. I'm coming to knock him out. He has to kill me to get me out of there."

Magic Johnson has advice for Tyrese Haliburton: Do what I did vs. Celtics in NBA Finals
Following the Indiana Pacers' Game 3 win in the NBA Finals over Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, Tyrese Haliburton responded to his critics after dropping 22 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds. "I think the commentary is always going to be what it is, you know?" Haliburton said. "Most of the time, the talking heads on the major platforms, I couldn't care less. Honestly, like what do they really know about basketball?" One person who knows quite a bit about basketball is Magic Johnson. The five-time NBA champion and three-time NBA Finals MVP has been supportive of Haliburton during these playoffs and credits his pace for pushing Indiana into the Finals and two games away from a first NBA championship. Johnson joined ESPN's "Get Up" on Thursday morning to talk about the Pacers and was asked specifically what Haliburton had to do to get Indiana across the finish line. "OKC has more talent than Indiana at the end of the day. But the way they're going to win is they have to play fast, (Haliburton) has to score more in this series," Johnson said. "He has to get 20-25 points every single game in order for the Pacers to win because they follow his lead, right? And so him and (Pascal) Siakam has to get at least 20 points to put the Pacers in a situation that they can win the game. That unlocks all the other guys. And so when they both came out aggressive, Siakam had a big first quarter. Haliburton had a big second quarter, that unlocked everybody else now to be comfortable enough to score and take their shots to help the Pacers win. "So he has to set the tempo, not just with his pace and also his assists, but also his scoring. I had to do that against the Celtics. I could cruise in the other series, but not against the Celtics. I must score against the Celtics, while I still had to get 15-20 assists, and this is important for him: He has to do the same thing, set the table for the guys and score points against OKC." In the 1985 NBA Finals, Johnson averaged 18.3 points and 14 assists as the Lakers won in six games. And in the 1987 NBA Finals, Johnson averaged 26.2 points and 13 assists in the Lakers' six-game series win. This season, the Pacers are 20-1 when Haliburton scores at least 20 points and dishes out at least 10 assists. This series, Haliburton is averaging 17.7 points, 7.7 assists and 7.3 rebounds a game.

Adam Schefter was ‘essentially banned' from Pat McAfee's ESPN show — until now
You'd be hard pressed to find an NFL insider with more scoops than Adam Schefter, but that hasn't mattered for Pat McAfee and his show. According to The Athletic's Andrew Marchand, Schefter was 'essentially banned' from 'The Pat McAfee Show' back in March after the insider failed to make an appearance on the show at McAfee's request. The apparent dispute arose at the start of NFL free agency when McAfee wanted Schefter to come on the show, but the latter was busy with a free agency special that was airing on ESPN2. 3 Pat McAfee's self-titled show has been an ESPN staple for the past several years. AP 3 Adam Schefter is one of the NFL's top insiders. AP Schefter hasn't been seen on the former All-Pro punter's show since, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport has instead made numerous appearances, including one as the guest host. But the apparent squabble seems to have reached its end, as Marchand reported that Schefter is expected to appear on Thursday's 'Pat McAfee Show,' where viewers could find out furtther details of Schefter possibly having been 'banished' from the show for the past several months. ESPN president of content Burke Magnus didn't seem too concerned about the rumored feud as he spoke on McAfee's successes and relationship with the rest of the network. 'Pat and his show are thriving on ESPN,' the statement reads, per Marchand. 'We are very pleased with the partnership.' 3 Adam Schefter making an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show in January. Pat McAfee Show/X Magnus also downplayed the idea that McAfee banned Schefter. 'In the nearly three years since Pat has brought his show to our platforms, we've continuously seen those out there that are seemingly obsessed with wanting to see Pat fail on ESPN,' he said. 'This rumor is just the latest example of that. Pat and his show continue to break the mold and reach new audiences, and we look forward to the continued success together.'
