RIZIN 52: Akimoto vs. Mix Full Results Patchy Mix returns to the octagon in a high-profile main event at RIZIN 52 on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in Tokyo, Japan. The fight pits the former Bellator bantamweight grand prix winner against Kyoma Akimoto, marking Mix’s first appearance since his departure from the UFC. After a successful stint with Bellator, where he claimed the promotion’s undisputed title, Mix struggled in his UFC debut, leading to his release from the organization. Despite the setback, he has secured a main event spot at RIZIN 52, where he will compete at featherweight—a move he had previously announced. The event also features Canadian flyweight Tony Laramie, who aims to improve his record to 3-1 under the RIZIN Fighting Federation banner. Laramie, the younger brother of former UFC fighter TJ Laramie, faces Takaki Soya in a key matchup. The Ariake Arena in Tokyo will host the action, with live streaming available via RIZIN.tv starting at 11 PM ET on March 6 for international audiences. The main event saw Kyoma Akimoto defeat Patchy Mix by TKO in the second round, combining punches and soccer kicks to end the fight. Other notable results include Luiz Gustavo’s knockout of Taisei Sakuraba in the second round, Ryo Takagi’s first-round TKO over Shuya Kimura, and Koji Takeda’s unanimous decision victory over Viktor Kolesnik. Saori Oshima and Yuki Ito also secured wins via unanimous decision and TKO, respectively. In additional bouts, Jinnosuke Kashimura submitted Hideo Tokoro with an Anaconda choke, Kim Kyung-pyo defeated Yusuke Yachi via TKO after a cut, and Shoko Sato submitted John Sweeney with a triangle choke. Tony Laramie continued his winning streak with a third-round TKO over Takaki Soya, while Lee Jung-hyun and Noeru Narita each secured victories via TKO and submission.#japan #rizin #akimoto #mix #tokyo

President Donald Trump announces new executive order on college sports, anticipates legal challenges President Donald Trump outlined plans to sign a new executive order addressing issues in college athletics during a Friday roundtable discussion titled “Saving College Sports.” He emphasized that the measure would likely face legal challenges but expressed hope for a favorable judicial outcome. Trump reiterated his stance that the current state of college sports, particularly in the NIL (name, image, likeness) era, has created significant problems for institutions, athletes, and families. The executive order, which Trump said would be issued within a week of the roundtable, is described as more comprehensive than his previous July directive. The earlier order targeted pay-for-play practices in college athletics and sought to protect non-revenue sports while banning NIL-related pay-for-play arrangements. During the discussion, Trump highlighted the financial disparities in college sports, noting the disproportionate share of revenue allocated to football and basketball following the House v. NCAA settlement. He suggested the new order would address broader systemic issues, including the impact of NIL on college athletics. Trump acknowledged that the previous executive order served as a “test” and that the upcoming measure would incorporate lessons learned over the past six months. He emphasized the need for a “common sense” approach, stating that the document would be “very well-thought-out” and aimed at resolving the “disaster” he described for colleges, players, and families. However, he admitted uncertainty about its legal viability, noting that the outcome would depend on the judge assigned to the case.#president_donald_trump #executive_order #college_sports #ncaa #score_act

Trump plans executive order to address college sports issues President Donald Trump announced plans to issue an executive order within a week to address widespread concerns over the future of college sports. The move follows a high-level meeting at the White House, where leaders from major athletic conferences, media executives, former coaches, and lawmakers gathered to discuss the challenges facing collegiate athletics. Trump emphasized that the order would be "all-encompassing" and aimed to resolve issues ranging from name, image, and likeness (NIL) regulations to the broader economic structure of college sports. The meeting, titled "Saving College Sports," took place in the East Room of the White House and included figures such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, New York Yankees president Randy Levine, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Attendees included NCAA President Charlie Baker, commissioners from the ACC, SEC, Big 12, Big Ten, and American Conference, as well as university leaders and former coaches like Nick Saban and Urban Meyer. The gathering, which lasted nearly two hours, highlighted the need for federal legislation to address the complexities of NIL and the financial sustainability of college athletics. Saban, a former Alabama coach, argued that the current system undermines the educational mission of college sports. He stated that the focus on athletic success has overshadowed the importance of academic development, calling for reforms that prioritize student-athletes' long-term futures. Meyer echoed similar concerns, criticizing the use of collective funding models that he described as "pay-for-play," where donors' money is funneled through coaches to players.#trump #marco_rubio #randy_levine #ron_desantis #charlie_baker

Chicago Cubs' Seiya Suzuki Shines in Dominant Team Japan Win Over Chinese Taipei Team Japan delivered a commanding 13-0 victory over Chinese Taipei in their opening game of the 2026 World Baseball Classic pool play, showcasing a stark gap in talent between the two teams. Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki, a key member of the Japanese squad, contributed to the win but did not dominate the game in the same way as some of his teammates. The game, played in Mesa, Arizona, saw Team Japan overwhelm Chinese Taipei with a combination of power hitting and defensive dominance, securing a seven-inning shutout. Suzuki, who came off his best season in Major League Baseball in 2025, had a solid but unremarkable performance against Chinese Taipei. He went 1 for 4 at the plate, drawing a walk in the team’s explosive 10-run second inning and scoring a run. His first hit of the tournament came in the top of the third inning when he hit a sharp line drive into center field for a single. Later in the game, he shifted positions, moving from center field to right field, demonstrating his versatility on the field. While Suzuki did not carry the offensive load like some of his teammates, his contributions were valuable in a game where Team Japan’s depth was evident. The Japanese squad’s dominance was highlighted by their ability to consistently put pressure on Chinese Taipei’s defense and capitalize on opportunities. Suzuki’s performance, though modest compared to the team’s overall output, reflected his role as a reliable offensive threat and defensive asset. The game underscored the disparity between the two teams, with Team Japan’s star players, including sluggers like Shohei Ohtani and others, taking the spotlight.#chicago_cubs #team_japan #shohei_ohtani #chinese_taipei #mesa_arizona
