UFC on ESPN 71 video: Neil Magny grounds and pounds Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos for TKO
Neil Magny is inevitable. The UFC welterweight fight, wins, decision wins, total fight time, total strikes and significant strikes leader returned to the win column with an impressive stoppage of Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos at UFC on ESPN 71. The bout took place at the UFC Apex, and came to an end by TKO at 4:39 of Round 2. Magny (30-13 MMA, 23-12 UFC) fought through a close opening round that two of the official judges scored for dos Santos (25-10-1 MMA, 11-6-1 UFC). In the second round, the fight went to the ground, where Magny worked through a few tough positions from his back. Once he found space to get out, Magny took dos Santos back to the mat, secured back control, and proceeded to rain down heavy ground and pound until referee Mark Smith saw enough. Check out video of the finish below (via X): With the result, Magny snaps a two-fight skid to pick up his 30th career win just a few hours before his birthday.

Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos: Neil Magny fight at UFC on ESPN 71 'a long time coming'
LAS VEGAS – Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos says his date with Neil Magny has been long, long overdue, and at UFC on ESPN 71 on Saturday, they'll finally get to have it. Dos Santos (25-9-1 MMA, 11-5-1 UFC) made his promotional debut in May 2015, more than 26 months after Magny (29-13 MMA, 22-12 UFC) stepped into the octagon for the first time. Despite both spending more than a decade in the same division with more than 50 combined appearances, they've never fought or much less been booked. So when the Magny was finally offered, even with a less-than-desirable training camp runway ahead of fight night, dos Santos had to jump on it. "This has been a fight that's been a long time coming," dos Santos told MMA Junkie through an interpreter at Wednesday's UFC on ESPN 71 media day. "That's why I accepted it on short notice, because I know it's something that should've happened a while ago. It's a fight that's very interesting, and it should be a very good one. You talk about two veterans of the UFC and two people that know their way around the octagon. It should be a good one with a lot of experience." Dos Santos, 38, said experience will come into play in the fight with Magny, 37, and who can put their vast knowledge of the octagon to best use. It's a key contest for both aging athletes after being stopped in their most recent outings, and dos Santos said it will be important to not slip up. "He's a very experienced fighter," dos Santos said. "(He's) somebody that knows how to explore the space around the octagon, someone that you have to be very aware when fighting because he always tries to find opportunities to get an advantage. He's someone that is always going to try to take the rounds. You have to aware at all times."

School calendar: When do June-July holidays end?
Learners across South Africa will return to school on Tuesday, 22 July, as the third term of the 2025 academic year kicks off after the mid-year break. The Department of Basic Education has confirmed that Term 3 will run from 22 July to 3 October, forming part of the 200 school days scheduled this year. The school year began on 15 January and will end on 10 December. So far, the calendar has included two full terms, with learners enjoying a 27-day winter break since schools closed on 27 June. The fourth and final term will begin on 13 October and conclude just before the festive season school holidays. As learners prepare to return from the school holidays, concerns about municipal services in Gauteng schools remain in the spotlight. According to DA MPL Sergio Isa dos Santos, 536 schools in the province have faced water or electricity disconnections since January due to unpaid municipal accounts. 'More alarming is the confirmation that these schools collectively owe over R58 586 285,04, an amount the department admits it could not settle in the 2024/2025 financial year,' said dos Santos. Furthermore, he added that the department has promised to clear the debt by 30 June 2025, but 'no evidence has been provided to confirm this.' In response to mounting criticism, the Gauteng Department of Education said it had already disbursed the necessary funds to all affected schools. Also, the Spokesperson, Steve Mabona, confirmed that all designated schools received the money in June. 'The department wishes to confirm that it has provided the necessary funds to all schools for payment of their respective municipal billing accounts,' said Mabona. 'Once funds have been transferred, the schools and their respective school governing bodies assume full responsibility for ensuring that their municipal accounts are settled and paid on time.'

Dynamo rally late, edge San Diego FC in stoppage time
Ezequiel Ponce scored a pair of late goals, including the go-ahead score in the 10th minute of second-half stoppage time, as the visiting Houston Dynamo rallied to earn a 4-3 victory over San Diego FC on Saturday. Dynamo rally late, edge San Diego FC in stoppage time Ethan Bartlow sent a pass to Ponce, who delivered the game-winning strike with his left foot from the top of the penalty area to put the Dynamo up for good. Ponce had just earned a chance from the penalty spot late in the second half and scored on a penalty kick in the 87th minute to tie the score 3-3. That goal came after he was fouled by San Diego FC goalkeeper CJ dos Santos, who came away with a bloody nose. The injury delay for dos Santos created 17 minutes of second-half stoppage time. Houston goalkeeper Jonathan Bond made four saves to help push the club above the playoff line in the Western Conference. Milan Iloski, Luca Bombino and Onni Valakari scored goals for San Diego FC, who saw a four-match winning streak come to an end, while still extending their run of at least three goals to four consecutive matches. San Diego FC received one save from dos Santos. The expansion club remained in first place in the West while losing at home for just the second time. San Diego took a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute when Iloski scored from near the penalty spot. The Dynamo got even in the 36th minute when Ennali scored in his first career MLS start. Houston jumped in front 2-1 in the third minute of first-half stoppage time when Escobar scored on a blast from outside of the penalty area. San Diego tied it 2-2 in the 54th minute when Bombino scored on a left-footed swinging strike through Bond's arms. In the 67th minute, San Diego regained the lead 3-2 when Anders Dreyer's shot toward goal rebounded off the leg of Valakari and into the goal.

Dos Santos speaks the Harimau language
KUALA LUMPUR: Before instructions get lost in translation or the ball gets lost in transition, national footballer Endrick dos Santos is doing his part in helping the disparate Harimau Malaya team get going. While local TV commentators are still trying to get used to remembering or pronouncing the plethora of foreign-sounding names, fans must be wondering about communication among players and coaches on the field. In this aspect, the Brazil-born dos Santos believes he can help members of the newly assembled Malaysia team connect and click with one another. Fluent in English, Spanish, and increasingly proficient in Bahasa Malaysia, dos Santos plays a really important role. He is the go-to translator, the cultural bridge between East and West, the unifying voice in the rojak-like national team that aim to turn incoherence into cohesion. As Malaysia face Vietnam in a crucial Asian Cup qualifier on Tuesday, the national players, cobbled from all corners of the world, are brushing up on team work, learning and understanding each other's style and rhythm. Recently, the national team announced the inclusion of five more foreign-born heritage players: Rodrigo Holgado (Argentina), Imanol Machuca (Argentina), Facundo Garces (Argentina), Jon Irazabal (Spain) and Joao Figueiredo (Brazil), The naturalised dos Santos, who has donned Harimau Malaya colours since 2023. said: "It's a little difficult for them to communicate, but the others and I speak a little English, Spanish, and Malay. So, we try to help each other, to pass on to them whatever is important. "We try to communicate during every training session. I try to help my teammates adapt faster." But ultimately, fans around the world like to speak only one language — the language of winning.
