UFC 319 results: Michael Page styles on Jared Cannonier in unanimous nod
On the main card of UFC 319 at United Center in Chicago, Page (24-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) made it back-to-back wins under the UFC banner by winning a unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) over Cannonier (18-9 MMA, 11-9 UFC).
Starting out with his hands at his hips as usual, Page showed off his quick in-and-out movements while pretending to dribble a basketball. Cannonier found an entry to clinch, but Page defended well to prevent a takedown. A moment later, Page blasted Cannonier with a hard overhand right, sending him to the canvas. More taunting from Page immediately followed.
Page crushed Cannonier with a hard right hand early in Round 2 and audibly reacted to the damage he caused. A few moments later, Page blitzed with a combination, sending Cannonier to the ground again. Later in the round, Cannonier got a takedown, but couldn't keep Page on the canvas.
Early in Round 3, Cannonier took advantage of an opportunity left by Page during an exchange, and took control on the mat with plenty of time to work. In full mount with over three minutes, Cannonier looked for ground and pound, but Page was quick to get back to half guard. Cannonier threatened a kimura, but it wasn't there. Cannonier finished out the round on top with punches.
With the result, Page makes it back-to-back wins for the first time under the UFC banner. After winning his debut against Kevin Holland, "MVP" dropped a decision to Ian Machado Garry. He successfully rebounded with a nod over Shara Magomedov in February.
Cannonier now falls to 1-3 over his last four outings. The former title challenger entered this three-round bout after six straight main event bouts.

The secret trick to keeping mascots like the Phillie Phanatic fresh in the summer heat
The Phillie Phanatic has a boozy little secret for surviving the dog days of summer. Vodka and water. Neat. Hold the lemon. Not for hydration. "He's a milk guy," jokes Tom Burgoyne, who brings the Phanatic to life. Burgoyne, officially known as the mascot's best friend, works up a mighty sweat dancing on dugouts during Philadelphia's steamy summer nights. Lysol or Febreze used to be the go-tos for keeping the stench under control. Most mascots these days order off the happy hour menu when they really want to feel fresh and clean on the inside. "Now a big thing in the mascot world is vodka and water," Burgoyne said. "You put it in half-and-half, maybe a third vodka, the rest water, you put it in a squeegee bottle and you can spray your head that way and sometimes that takes the smell away." Sports fans around the globe get their kicks from all costumed creatures great and small that entertain, no matter how red-hot it gets under that heavy honker. The musky muppets take the field through triple-digit heat, broken temperature records and oppressive humidity that can wilt even the most die-hard fan during the summer stretch. Yes, sweaty is the head that wears the crown — such as Kansas Royals' mascot Sluggerrr — and regular costume cleaning is part of the mascot game. Of course, so is staying safe. The Phanatic, Fredbird and Clark the Cub all need a respite from the sweltering heat, which includes frequent breaks, constant hydration, cooling materials and proper ventilation. No one with a baseball for a head wants to faint on the field and need even more stitches. Keeping those performers from overheating is top of mind for Mitch Maxine. His company, BAM Mascots, designs and manufactures all sorts of bears, birds, sea creatures and monsters for sports teams at all levels. He understands a good mascot is more than just fabric and fur. Take a walk in their fuzzy feet, and most costume designers understand the health and safety of the person inside matters just as much as the amusement provided at the ol' ballgame. "In terms of the actual manufacturing of the costumes, they're just hot," Maxine said. "In terms of how we build it or what we make it out of, it's about how to reduce that level of heat." That's not always easy when designing a muscular costume meant to be worn for hours. "The thing that prevents people from being hot is usually the movement of air," Maxine said. "If I make a costume, even if I make it out out of very light, thin material, if I wear it in the middle of the heat, unless there's something to move air through the material and across my skin, I'm going to be hot." BAM is among the mascot manufacturers that strategically place vents or a battery-operated fan to circulate fresh air and expel stale air and heat inside the head. Lightweight, durable fabrics are used to wick away moisture and inconspicuous ventilation ports — think of fabric screens on the eyes, nose, mouth, ears of your favorite parrot or moose — can provide fresh air. Maxine also suggests cooling vests that can help regulate body temperatures in environments hotter than a pennant race or during extreme physical activity. Yet, the best advice on those worrisome weather days may as well come straight from mom before a Little League game: Take frequent breaks. Drink water. "We've had a couple of clients saying they want some sort of system built into the costume where a performer can wear a water bottle inside the pouch and have a straw come up inside their head so they can sip water while they're performing," he said. BAM made it for one customer. It was a simple design, just a belt with a holder for a water bottle, with a tube that ran up the character's chest and into the head. More could be sold in the future. The Phanatic suit doesn't include any vents or fans, but the 59-year-old Burgoyne — who started performing as the Phanatic at old Veterans Stadium in the late 1980s — has his own dressing room inside the bowels of Citizens Bank Park and can scamper away for a quick rest to beat the heat. It's needed. Considering this summer in Philadelphia, the city's public health department declared a heat emergency once temperatures spiked to triple-digits and power outages were even reported. "At the Vet, I used to wear bags of ice around my belly," Burgoyne said. "It turned to hot water after five minutes. I don't know if it really did any good at all. Citizens Bank Park seems to have more of a cross-wind, so it doesn't steam up the way the Vet used. When we came over here (in 2004), I stopped doing it." Bernie Brewer, Blooper and Billy the Marlin might want to try sticking their swampy extendable body parts in the freezer. There's an 80% chance the world will break another annual temperature record in the next five years, and it's even more probable that the world will again exceed the international temperature threshold set 10 years ago, according to a five-year forecast released in May by the World Meteorological Organization and the U.K. Meteorological Office. Phillies fans send cooling vests in the mail to the Phanatic ("I get a lot of, 'try this, try that,'" Burgoyne said) or cooling collars to stave off heat exhaustion. The Phanatic — the costume weighs about 35 pounds, Burgoyne normally wears just T-shirts and shorts under the flightless bird — is always hot no matter the weather because of the constant motion needed to ride ATVs or fight Tommy Lasorda or hug it out with Jason Kelce. On those stifling hot days, the Phanatic doesn't charm the crowd for more than 20 or 30 minutes at a time without a break and, no, he's never passed out. Burgoyne — such a delightful storyteller, it's a shame the Phanatic is mute — says a perfect weather day for a mascot is almost any day in October. "If the Phanatic is out there running around doing his thing in October, all is right in the world," he said. "He's not sweating as much, I'm not sweating as much and the Phillies are in the playoffs. That is the ideal time."

Samuel Basallo, No. 8 MLB prospect, to make his MLB debut for Orioles
Ever since Samuel Basallo reached Triple A as a 20-year-old last season, the question hadn't been if the talented left-handed hitting catcher would reach the big leagues — but when. That day finally arrived on Sunday, as the Baltimore Orioles officially promoted their top prospect — and the No. 8 prospect in baseball — to the major leagues. Advertisement Where Basallo will get the majority of his playing time remains to be seen. In all likelihood, the 21-year-old would have debuted earlier this season if he didn't share a position with one of the Orioles' mainstays, Adley Rutschman. Though the majority of Basallo's playing time has been behind the plate this season, he has played 20 games at first base and logged 32 games there last season, so he could continue to split time between catcher, first base and DH in the big leagues. Basallo heads to the majors as one of the Triple-A International League's top hitters. He dealt with right elbow inflammation during spring training, then suffered hamstring and oblique injuries that cost him regular season time, but he's hit the ball extremely well when he's been healthy. In 76 games, he's batting .270/.377/.589 with 23 home runs and 44 walks. He ranks first among all Triple-A hitters in several categories, including xSLG (.625), ISO (.320) and Barrel rate (21 percent). Samuel Basallo's ranks in Triple-A (min. 250 PA): xSLG: .625, 1st ISO: .320, 1st Barrel rate: 21%, 1st Avg EV: 94.2 mph, 2nd Barrels: 41, 2nd xWOBA: .430, 2nd Hard-hit rate: 57.4%, 4th wRC+: 151, 5th SLG: .589, 7th 90th-percentile EV: 108.3 mph, 8th OPS: .966, 8th wOBA: .407, 9th xBA: .281, 10th [image or embed] — Sam Dykstra (@ August 17, 2025 at 7:17 AM Signed as a 16-year-old out of the Dominican Republic on Jan. 15, 2021 for a $1.3 million signing bonus, Basallo quickly established himself as one of the top catching prospects in the game. In his age-18 season in 2023, he hit .313/.402/.551 with 20 homers in 114 games, finishing that year in Double A. In 401 career minor-league games, he's homered 73 times. He was the 2023 Low-A Carolina League MVP and participated in the MLB Futures Game in 2024. Basallo began the season as the No. 3 prospect in baseball in Keith Law's top 100 prospect list. Though Law ranked Basallo at No. 8 in the midseason rankings, Law wrote that Basallo had significantly improved his walk and contact rates this season. He also noted that there had been some questions about Basallo's defense behind the plate, but said that Basallo had more than enough bat to be an everyday first baseman if that's where he ended up long term. Advertisement 'The bat is going to play anywhere,' Law wrote, 'and he may instead just be their 30-homer first baseman of the future.' It has been a disappointing season for the Orioles, who were hoping to return to the postseason for a second straight year. Instead, they've slipped to the bottom of the American League East. But this weekend is giving Orioles' fans a glimpse at the club's future. Not only is Basallo joining the team, but the team's No. 7 prospect Dylan Beavers made his major-league debut on Saturday, collecting a double in five at-bats. The Orioles are also welcoming back young outfielder Colton Cowser off the 7-day concussion IL on Sunday. To make room for Basallo and Cowser on the active roster, the Orioles optioned first baseman/outfielder Ryan Noda and outfielder Daniel Johnson to Triple A. Right-hander Zach Eflin was moved to the 60-day injured list. Eflin will undergo a season-ending lumbar microdiscectomy on Monday to address a lower back injury. Spot the pattern.
