Last time out, Julian Alvarez's early strike was enough to secure a 1-0 win over Chile. While Lionel Messi came off the bench in the narrow win against Chelsea (in a recent friendly), fans are eager to see him return to the starting lineup Tuesday. Colombia, on the other hand, is fighting to stay in contention. They currently sit sixth in the standings, just three points ahead of seventh-place Venezuela with three matches left.

UFC Atlanta hit with lineup change on fight week

UFC Atlanta hit with lineup change on fight week It is with deep sorrow that I announce my first withdrawal from my fight in 15 UFC appearances. Unfortunately, I was not medically cleared due to a condition requiring surgical intervention. I trust this is part of a greater plan, and I'm committed to returning stronger. — Charles Jourdain (@JourdainAir) June 10, 2025 Ricky Simon has a new opponent for Saturday's UFC on ESPN 69. With Charles Jourdain unable to get medical clearance for an eye issue, Simon (21-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC) will now face Cameron Smotherman (12-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) on the preliminary card at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The bout will be contested at featherweight. The promotion announced the change Tuesday after an initial report Monday by Eurosport NL. "It is with deep sorrow that I announce my first withdrawal from my fight in 15 UFC appearances," Jourdain wrote on X. "Unfortunately, I was not medically cleared due to a condition requiring surgical intervention. I trust this is part of a greater plan, and I'm committed to returning stronger." Smotherman, 27, made his UFC debut in October when he upset Jake Hadley by unanimous decision on short notice. He returned in May, but lost by unanimous decision to Serhiy Sidey. Simon, 32, snapped a three-fight skid in February when he landed a first-round, performance bonus-earning bludgeoning punch on Javid Basharat. UFC on ESPN 69 lineup MAIN CARD (ESPN, 10 p.m. ET) Kamaru Usman vs. Joaquin Buckley Miranda Maverick vs. Rose Namajunas Andre Petroski vs. Edmen Shahbazyan Raoni Barcelos vs. Cody Garbrandt Mansur Abdul-Malik vs. Cody Brundage Alonzo Menifield vs. Oumar Sy PRELIMINARY CARD (ESPN+, 7 p.m. ET)
