43+ min ago (403+ words) Fans and Darts athletes alike were unimpressed by the antics DARTS star Neil Duff is under fire for his conduct at the WDF World Championship on Monday. The former tournament Champion was facing New Zealander Ben Robb when things got heated, leading to some controversial behaviour. The darts pair were deadlocked at two legs a piece in the round of 32 at Lakeside when Robb hit a 174 and celebrated on his way back from the board. But Duff was clearly unimpressed by the celebration. When the 37-year-old hit a 44 at his next appearance at the oche, Duff sarcastically cupped his hand to his ear in mockery. That action alone would have drawn criticism from fans, but it was not the only instance of controversial antics from the Northern Irishman.

1+ hour, 21+ min ago (519+ words) Mexico's Moreno enters the cage with a decorated professional record of 23-8-2. The 31-year-old stands 5'7" (170 cm) and has a reach of 70" (178 cm), with a walkaround weight of 145 lbs (65 kg). A former 2x UFC Flyweight Champion, Moreno is a well-rounded fighter, combining volume striking and grappling. However, training at Team Moreno, with a pro-BJJ style, Moreno relies on submissions over KOs. His Japanese opponent comes into the scene with a less extensive profile at 17-1-0. However, at 25 years, Taira has a clear age advantage over Moreno. But with a matching height of 5'7" and a reach of 70", neither fighter has an edge over the other. While Taira's walkaround weight isn't publicly disclosed, figures place him much higher than his weigh-in of 125 lbs. Moreno bears the distinct advantage of experience. He has eclipsed the division's elite, fighting in the trenches for over a decade. Even though he lost…...

That's not the case any longer with the UFC airing events on Paramount+ starting in January with all of the events coming under the standard subscription price for the streaming…...
