Perez Concussed in Monaco Crash

Perez crashes out of Monaco qualifying Sauber’s Ser­gio Perez will be kept in hos­pi­tal overnight fol­low­ing a heavy crash in Monaco Grand Prix qualifying. The Mex­i­can, 21, lost con­trol of his Sauber com­ing out of the tun­nel and hit the safety bar­rier at the chicane. Sauber said Perez had “con­cus­sion and a sprained thigh, but no bro­ken bones and, fol­low­ing a scan, doc­tors could find no fur­ther injuries”. Perez, who is in his first sea­son in F1, is unlikely to be able to take part in Sunday’s race. Sauber added that they would inves­ti­gate the cause... 

Coach “Mayhem” Meets Coach Bisping on TUF 14

Michael Bisp­ing and Jason “May­hem” Miller will meet as coaches on sea­son 14 of The Ulti­mate Fighter Two of mixed mar­tial arts’ most com­pelling fig­ures are unques­tion­ably Michael “The Count” Bisp­ing and Jason “May­hem” Miller, with both gar­ner­ing more media atten­tion than prac­ti­cally any­one in the mid­dleweight divi­sion. The two 185-pound con­tenders have proven they can fight at the elite level of the sport as well. But can they coach? Bisp­ing answered that ques­tion as he led two of his fight­ers to vic­tory on sea­son nine of The Ulti­mate... 

Team Lotus Allowed to Keep Name

Heikki Kovalainen dri­ves his Lotus dur­ing last Sunday’s Span­ish GP For­mula 1’s Team Lotus has been told by a judge they can con­tinue to oper­ate and race under that name. The High Court deci­sion con­firms the team headed by Tony Fer­nan­des as the owner of the Team Lotus badge. Group Lotus, which spon­sors the Renault team, retains the right to use the Lotus mar­que on its road cars, and in F1 if it chose to enter its own team. But Group Lotus says it will appeal against the rul­ing that two teams could run in F1 with Lotus in their name. It’s a vic­tory for Team...

‘Rampage’: Hamill Will Pay for His Words

I was told some­thing inter­est­ing about Matt Hamill today. He’s never been knocked out or knocked down or even really hurt with a punch to the chin. I’m going to see what I can do to change that on Sat­ur­day night here in Las Vegas for UFC 130. Hamill was stopped on a kick to the ribs by Rich Franklin, but I am talk­ing a flat-on-his-back, arm-swung-out, sleepy-time KO. That’s what I am look­ing to do. I’m look­ing for­ward to the fight. But the weight cut? Not so much. I’m hun­gry and I’m not look­ing for­ward to cut­ting, but I’ve only got a few pounds. I can’t...

Hamill Sees ‘Rampage’ As Key to His Future

Matt Hamill on Sat­ur­day night is look­ing to prove that the old say­ing “be care­ful what you wish for” doesn’t apply to him. Hamill (10–2) made a wish to get a fight against for­mer UFC light heavy­weight cham­pion Quin­ton “Ram­page” Jack­son (31–8), one of the biggest names in the sport. He not only got it, he also landed his first pay-per-view main event at UFC 130 from the MGM Grand Gar­den Arena in Las Vegas after injuries can­celed the sched­uled light­weight tilt between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard. “I expect to win and I expect to win impres­sively,”...
