A welterweight fight with fireworks written all over it has just been added to UFC 310 as Bryan Battle looks to extend his four-fight unbeaten streak when he faces Randy Brown on Dec. 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting on Monday after Battle’s management team initially announced the fight.

Battle scored his latest victory at UFC Paris in September when he took out Kevin Jousset with a vicious second round TKO and improving his overall record with the promotion to 6-1 with one no contest along the way. Following his most recent win, Battle hoped for an even bigger matchup in his next fight and the UFC obviously granted his wish.

Meanwhile, Brown looks for his fourth win in a row in the welterweight division after taking out Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos, Muslim Salikhov and Wellington Turman in consecutive appearances. Brown was briefly linked to a potential fight against streaking welterweight contender Carlos Prates but the Brazilian ended up booked against Neil Magny in November instead.

Now Brown faces off with Battle in a potential fight that could earn the winner a top 15 ranking.

UFC 310 is headlined by a pair of title fights as Belal Muhammad defense his welterweight crown against Shavkat Rakhmonov while Alexandre Pantoja faces former RIZIN champion Kai Asakura in a flyweight title bout.

The WNBA postseason is down to two teams, and the Finals have already produced an eventful first two games.

Let’s look at the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Oct. 14, as we get closer to crowning a new WNBA champion.

2024 WNBA Title Futures: 

New York Liberty: -175 (bet $10 to win $15.71 total)
Minnesota Lynx: +145 (bet $10 to win $24.50 total)

Game 3: Liberty @ Lynx (Wednesday, 8 p.m. ET, ABC)
Series tied 1-1

Spread: Liberty -2.5
O/U: 160
Moneyline: Liberty -148, Lynx +124

The Liberty were the best team in the regular season, and took care of business in the playoff semifinals, defeating the Aces in four games. 

The Lynx won their semifinal matchup over the Sun in five games, advancing to meet New York in the championship series. 

The two squads faced off three times in the regular season, with Minnesota winning twice. 

Still, New York entered the best-of-five series as the -275 favorites. But things were flipped on their head in Game 1, when the Lynx won an overtime thriller on the Liberty’s home floor.

In Game 2, the Lynx had a chance to take a two-game lead, as they trailed 68-66 with 3:40 to go in the fourth quarter.

However, Minnesota did not score again, and the Liberty went on to win 80-66.

Game 3 is set for Wednesday on the Lynx’s home floor.

Charles Oliveira hopes that UFC matchmakers change their approach when it comes to booking Tony Ferguson fights if the veteran decides to enter the octagon in the future.

Oliveira, who handled Ferguson the second loss of his current eight-fight skid back in 2020, and has a good relationship with “El Cucuy”, said in an interview with MMA Fighting that it was hard to watch Ferguson suffer another setback this past August in Abu Dhabi, a first-round submission defeat to Michael Chiesa.

Ferguson, a former interim lightweight champion, appeared to indicate his retirement immediately after the bout, but changed the tone at the post-fight press conference, saying “no, I still wanna fight.”

“He deserves all the respect in the world just to be fighting still, he deserves a standing ovation for everything he’s done in the UFC,” Oliveira said. “But I think the UFC should also give him some help and put him against someone [around his age] so they can put on a show and we applaud them.”

Ferguson was stopped in five of those eight losses, also finished by Justin Gaethje, Michael Chandler, Nate Diaz, Bobby Green, with additional decision defeats to “do Bronx”, Beneil Dariush and Paddy Pimblett.

The last time Ferguson fought someone who was older than him was June of 2019, when he scored a win over Donald Cerrone. For Oliveira, who earned a shot at the UFC belt with his victory over Ferguson, the UFC should book “El Cucuy” against veterans on the tail end of their career instead of up and comers like Pimblett.

“The guy doesn’t want to retire, he’s there, so why not get someone with the same vibe to put on a big fight? That would be great,” Oliveira said. “But to put these young kids, kids coming in hungry for attention over a big name like him, that’s a bit complicated. It sucks. The guy has a certain age, and you put him against young kids to fight him? That hurts him a little bit.”
