Zion Clark, Wrestler With No Legs, Wins First MMA Match: Watch

by

Zion Clark is someone who has risen to prominence over the last few years. The young man has a very inspiring story as he was a wrestler at Kent State. Clark was born without legs, which means he could only wrestle with arm and chest strength. Despite this, he overcame numerous odds and showcased himself to be an amazing athlete.

Additionally, he recently broke a world record as he ran 10 meters in under five seconds. Of course, this record was made unique thanks to the fact that he has to run with his arms. Overall, he is an incredible athlete who has truly overcome a lot to get to where he is now.

Zion Clark Tries MMA

On Saturday night, Clark got to try his hand at Mixed Martial Arts. This match took place in San Diego and it was an unsanctioned fight with no official winner. It took place against Eugene Murray, a 25-year-old who certainly had a huge advantage.

Despite this advantage, Clark put on an absolute show. Murray seemingly had no clue how to approach Clark, which led to numerous takedowns. Because of Clark’s proximity to the ground, he was able to get at Murray’s legs. While Zion Clark was never able to submit Murray, he did do enough to win by unanimous decision.

The video of the fight ended up going viral on Twitter and it is easy to see why. This is one of those clips that will spark a debate, even if the discourse isn’t necessarily productive. No matter what, you can’t help but admit that Zion Clark is an inspiration.

Let us know what you think of Clark’s big win, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Skip Bayless “Disgusted” By Cowboys Loss

by

Skip Bayless is one of the biggest Cowboys fans when it comes to analysts on TV. For years, he has tried to convince himself that any given year is the one in which they will go back to the Super Bowl. Overall, Skip has yet to be proven right, even when the team is having a good season.

Last night, the Cowboys broke the hearts of all of their fans, including Bayless. This is because the team blew a 17-point lead against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They ultimately lost the game in overtime, and it was truly embarrassing. There couldn’t have been a worse way for the team to lose that game.

Skip Bayless Reacts

Subsequently, Bayless had to talk about the game during this morning’s episode of Undisputed. Following a viral week, Bayless had to face Shannon Sharpe, who was ready with the Cowboys slander. Instead of arguing with Sharpe, Skip decided to agree with his co-host. Simply put, Bayless has had enough of this team’s underachieving ways.

“I was disgusted by much of what I saw. My Cowboys have been looking ahead to the Eagles since the game in Philly,” Bayless wrote. As Skip described, the Cowboys take on the league-leading Eagles on Saturday in Dallas. This is a huge game for the Cowboys, and it seems like that’s all they care about right now.

If you are a fan of the Cowboys, this is not good news heading into the postseason. They will have to start their campaign on the road, and it is likely they might play a team like the 49ers. If that’s the case, then “America’s Team” might be headed towards another early exit.

Let us know what you think of Bayless’ assessment, in the comments section below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

OJ Simpson Refuses To Answer Questions About Nicole Brown Murder

by

OJ Simpson is certainly one of the most controversial former athletes in the world. Of course, this is because he was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown, and her new lover Ron Goldman. Following a lengthy and contentious trial, OJ was found not guilty of the alleged crime.

All of these years later, the trial remains one of the most highly-debated legal proceedings of all time. Despite this, Simpson is still a free man, although he did go to jail for nine years thanks to an armed-robbery conviction. Regardless, Simpson is free, and the families of those who died are upset about his freedom.

OJ Simpson Speaks

For the most part, Simpson has been keeping a low profile. Sometimes, he makes some videos on Twitter, however, he mainly talks about football and politics. Recently, OJ Simpson actually agreed to be a guest on the Full Send Podcast. During this appearance, he got to speak on a wide range of topics.

Overall, the interview was going quite well up until the end. As you can see down below, OJ is asked about whether or not he’s mad that the true killer was never found. Clearly, the hosts were trying to bait OJ here, and it did not work as Simpson made it clear that he will not answer questions about the topic.

“Right now, I’m not going to discuss any of that, all right?” Simpson said. “I think that’s a pretty obvious question. But I’m not getting into that. I’m not going there.”

Asking this type of question was going to lead to a very obvious answer, however, they tried it anyway. OJ has never admitted to the murder, and it should be obvious that the Full Send Podcast wouldn’t be where he would choose to do it.

Stephen A. Reacts

On today’s episode of First Take, Smith got to speak on the World Cup Final, and just how amazing it was to witness. Typically, Smith isn’t much of a soccer fan. His interests skew towards sports like basketball, football, and occasionally baseball and boxing. However, he couldn’t help but praise the most recent display of soccer excellence.

In the clip below, Smith breaks down how this World Cup was special because it had two superstars going at it. Lionel Messi scored two goals to lead his team to a victory, while Kylian Mbappe scored a hat trick, despite the loss.

Jakobi Meyers Ridiculed After Horrific Final Patriots Play

by

Jakobi Meyers and the New England Patriots were a trending topic on Twitter last night, for all of the wrong reasons. During their game against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Patriots had one last drive to try and win the game. The score was tied at 24, and if the Patriots just ran the clock out, they would go to overtime.

However, that is not what happened. Instead, Jakobi Meyers received a lateral that should have never been attempted. Meyers had nowhere to go, and instead of going out of bounds, he attempted to throw the ball back to quarterback Mac Jones. Eventually, the ball was intercepted by Chandler Jones, who scored the dumbest last-second game-winning touchdown we have ever seen.

Jakobi Meyers Apologizes

After the game, Meyers showed accountability for his poor decision. He had tears in his eyes, and he admitted that he was trying to be the hero. Overall, it was a sad moment for the player, who clearly understands that this could have professional ramifications.

Additionally, the internet was not particularly forgiving towards Meyers. Whenever a player makes a mistake like this, you can be sure that people are going to be cruel. Of course, that is exactly what happened in this particular instance. Regardless of his humility, he was always going to get roasted.

Down below, you can find a plethora of memes that make light of the situation. Overall, the memes are pretty brutal as they portray Meyers as the villain of the Patriots’ locker room. Moreover, there is this sense that Meyers could be kicked off the team by Bill Belichick, who is known for his no-nonsense attitude.

Meyers has been an effective player for the Patriots this season, although there is no doubt that this is a brutal development for him. Hopefully, the Pats keep him so he can redeem himself. After all, one play should not define an entire career.

Let us know what you thought of the play, in the comment down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sports world.

by

Chris Paul Jr. is the young son of Chris Paul. As we have seen lately, the sons of famous NBA stars are making quite an impression on the court. For instance, Bronny and Bryce James are making LeBron proud. Additionally, Kiyan Anthony already has an offer to go to Carmelo’s Alma Mater, Syracuse.

Paul Jr., on the other hand, is only in middle school. He still has a lot of time to grow into an amazing basketball player. However, he is certainly making great strides. For instance, the Phoenix Suns star’s son was on the court recently for a middle school showcase that will turn heads.

Chris Paul Jr. could be seen displaying some solid handles, as he had defenders second-guessing themselves. Moreover, the young ballplayer made some impressive shots at the rim, and we’re sure CP3 was proud. Overall, his son has a ton of talent and will definitely excel at the high school level.

When Chris Paul is your father, it can be said that you are receiving some amazing coaching. Of course, it is too early to tell just how far his son will go, however, the future is certainly bright for him.

Amar’e Stoudemire Denies Striking His Daughter

by

Over the weekend, former NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery and domestic violence. According to TMZ, this all stems from allegations that he struck his daughter multiple times inside his own home.

In the report, it states that Stoudemire allegedly hit his daughter after she gave him and her grandmother “attitude.” Stoudemire reportedly didn’t like how she was talking to him and hit her in the face. Furthermore, this reportedly caused the daughter to bleed. She then showed a picture of the injuries to her mother, who called the police.

Amar’e Stoudemire Responds

The mother of Stoudemire’s children picked them all up, including the daughter that was hurt. From there, police took Stoudemire away, however, he has since been released. Today, Stoudemire followed this story up by posting to his Instagram account. As you can see below, he is denying the accusations, noting that he would never do such a thing.

“As the investigation unfolds, the facts will show the allegations to be groundless as my daughter’s medical condition is not the result of being assaulted by a father who is nearly 7 feet tall and weighs 250 pounds,” Stoudemire said. “I could never see myself assaulting any person, especially my children. I respect, protect, and love my family, particularly my children.”

Overall, this is a very distressing story as you never want to see a child get hurt in any capacity. There are still a lot of facts that have yet to be revealed, and we imagine there will be some updates on this case soon.

Stay tuned to HNHH as we will continue to bring you the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Anthony Davis & Lakers Get Upsetting Injury Update

by

Anthony Davis has consistently been one of the most injury-prone players in the entire NBA. It has been difficult for Davis to garner much momentum, even when he is playing the best basketball of his career. For instance, Davis was delivering monstrous performance after monstrous performance as of late. However, he is now dealing with a right foot injury.

This injury took place against the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. Although the Lakers ended up taking home the win, Davis’ impending absence certainly makes the next stretch of ball that much tougher. Now, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook will have to carry the load.

Anthony Davis To Miss Time

According to Shams Charania, the Lakers’ biggest fear has come true. Davis is going to be out indefinitely with his foot injury. As it stands, we do not know what the exact diagnosis is, however, it cannot be good. Overall, Davis will certainly have to miss over a month of action.

The Lakers were finally starting to build up some momentum, so this news will definitely hurt. Over the course of the season, Davis had averaged 27.4 points per game, as well as 12.1 rebounds. That is significant production that the Lakers simply will not have over this Holiday stretch.

As it stands, the Lakers are 12-16 in the Western Conference. They are not in a playoff position, however, they had been steadily gaining on their rivals. Needless to say, they can expect to regress without AD on the court.

This is devastating if you’re a Laker fan, so let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the basketball and sports world.

World Cup Celebration

This victory is Messi’s first at the World Cup. Quite frankly, many fans felt like he needed this win in order to grab GOAT status from Ronaldo. At this point, it is hard to argue against Messi. Following his big win, however, he did take to Instagram where he offered a message to his fellow Argentinians.

“CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!” Messi began. “So many times I dreamed it, so much I wanted it that I still don’t fall, I can’t believe it…… Thank you so much to my family, to all who support me and also to all who believed in us. We prove once again that Argentinians when we fight together and united we are able to achieve what we aim.

“The merit is of this group, which is above individuals, is the strength of all fighting for the same dream that was also the one of all Argentinians… We did it!!! LET’S GO ARGENTINA DAMN!!!!!”

There is no doubt that this is the greatest moment of Messi’s career. He scored two goals in the final match and even had a goal in the penalty shootout. Not to mention, this might be the greatest Finale in any sport, ever.
