Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is one of the biggest names in the history of mixed martial arts. The 40-year-old has endeared himself to fans over the years with his magnetic charisma, along with his trademark chain necklace and howl before he makes his walk into battle. Jackson (37-13) debuted in Nov. 1999, defeating recently retired UFC fighter Mike Pyle by unanimous decision at ISCF: Memphis. After 11 fights on the regional circuit, Jackson got the chance he was looking for when PRIDE offered him the opportunity to face the legendary Kazushi Sakuraba at PRIDE 15 in July 2001....
Milan have lost four of their first six Serie A matches under Giampaolo, who was brought in as a replacement for Gennaro Gattuso in June.

Reports in Italy claim former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been lined up as a possible replacement for Giampaolo, though the ex-Sampdoria boss is continuing to stand firm....

Barrett’s decision to choose Duke over Kentucky (and Oregon) — announced Friday evening on TSN’s SportsCentre in Canada — means it’ll be Coach K in charge of his NCAA basketball career rather than Coach Cal. That might hurt even more than the 38 points Barrett scored during the summer to lead Canada over Calipari’s United States squad in the semifinals of the FIBA U19 World Cup. Barrett went on to lead Team Canada to the gold medal, and now he’ll try to carry Mike Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils to another Final Four and NCAA championship....

The first half of the race gave the impression that it would be another European Grand Prix where every driver would stick to his starting position. Sebastian Vettel took the lead from the start, and it was assumed he would win again at this circuit. He opened a 20-second gap and was followed by Romain Grosjean. However, on Lap 27 it was obvious that this Valencia GP would not be as the previous ones as Jean-Eric Vergne crashed into the Caterham of Heikki Kovalainen and caused them both to retire....

However, the Spaniard won’t be continuing on in the tournament after his victory. Stuart Fraser of The Times reports that Nadal has officially withdrawn from Wimbledon ahead of his semifinal against Nick Kyrgios. That will give Kyrgios a walk-over win that will allow the Australian to appear in his first Grand Slam final. Nadal was nursing an abdominal injury for the duration of his match against Fritz.
