Kai Asakura returns at UFC 319 vs. Tim Elliott
Kai Asakura returns at UFC 319 vs. Tim Elliott Former RIZIN superstar Kai Asakura has the opportunity to bounce back. At UFC 319, Asakura (21-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will make his second promotional appearance vs. Tim Elliott (20-13-1 MMA, 9-11 UFC) in a three-round flyweight bout. The event takes place Aug. 16 at United Center in Chicago and is headlined by Dricus Du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev. Both fighters recently announced the booking on social media. The fight was first reported by X user @realkevin. Asakura, 31, signed with the UFC in 2024 and debuted in a title fight vs. champion Alexandre Pantoja, which he lost by second-round submission. Prior to his UFC onboarding, however, Asakura built his brand in his home country of Japan as one of its biggest stars. His only losses prior to Pantoja were to Kyoji Horiguchi, Manel Kape, and Hiromasa Ougikubo. All three of those fighters Asakura also holds wins over. Elliott, 38, hasn't competed since a December 2023 submission win over Su Mudaerji. The victory was his third in four fights. Elliott was scheduled to compete vs. Tatsuro Taira in May 2024 but withdrew. With the addition, the UFC 319 lineup now includes:

Roger Daltrey Doesn't Want to Embark on The Who's Farewell Tour with 'Half-Hearted' Pete Townshend
The post Roger Daltrey Doesn't Want to Embark on The Who's Farewell Tour with 'Half-Hearted' Pete Townshend appeared first on Consequence. Talk about messy goodbyes! The Who haven't even launched their recently announced North American farewell tour, but things haven't exactly been going smoothly in the lead-up to the final run. Now, singer Roger Daltrey is questioning if he even wants to tour with 'half-hearted' guitarist Pete Townshend. As previously reported, the legendary rock band fired, re-hired, and then re-fired longtime drummer Zak Starkey, replacing him with Daltrey's solo drummer Scott Devours. If that weren't enough, Daltrey has expressed disappointment in recent quotes made by Townshend. Get The Who Tickets Here In an interview with the UK's Sunday People, Townshend said, 'The Who has gone on a bit too long with two of us dying. It does sometimes feel like flogging a dead horse.' As the Daily Mail reports, that irked Daltrey, who responded, 'If Pete doesn't want to tour, I don't want to be back with The Who on the road, at 81, with someone who doesn't want be there — if that's what he's saying.' The singer added, 'I won't do it with someone who is half-hearted about it. But, you know, every dog has its day and it was a wonderful ride.' Hopefully, Daltrey and Townshend can join together with the band before they hit the road this summer. The farewell outing, dubbed 'The Song Is Over Tour,' is still scheduled to kick off August 16th in Sunrise, Florida, and run through September 28th in Las Vegas.
