Wheel-to-wheel racing was the story of the weekend, but position battles happening everywhere you looked. Though one team did reign surpreme this weekend, a lot of positives can be taken from the other competitng teams. With that said, some teams flopped dramatically this weekend, ending their time in China in shambles. There were definitely a bunch of winners this we

A step up to #3 may be a bit soon for the 23-year-old, but after dispatching Chikadze and Emmett in the fashion he did, I'm ready to get a better look at what this phenom can do against a higher-qualit

In what could be considered the best performance of his career, a title eliminator should be next. Charles deserves a get-back fight against Armen Tsarukyan. With the Lightweight title already booked, the winner of this fight

From Mercedes' rapid pace, to mechanical faults, to even a crash by a superstar, we are already getting an idea of what this season could hold. Qualifying took place on Saturday morning EST, with George Russell topping the grid with an impressive gap between the cars behind. With the next non-Mercedes car q

Photo graphic by Cameron Cc: via youtube.com Formula One is entering a new era with so much unknown. One may think they have an idea of the pecking order, the favorites, or even who will fall short, yet it won't be until the drivers go racing that things will start to clear. So, what better time to make some predictions that could end horribly wrong than during the first race week of the season? This was one of the hardest prediction articles I have ever published. With the t

Photo by Rudy Carezzevoli/Getty Images It is finally race week for the world of Formula One, meaning the teams are set for what could be an unpredictable year, to say the least. With the pecking order still far from concrete, each team has expressed their satisfaction with their driver lineup. Yet, how good really is each driver lineup? I ranked each driver lineup solely based on the talent I believe each of them will present this season. Car performance is not taken into acc

To beat up a former champion and tough guy like Brandon Moreno was awesome to see and should earn him a Top-8 ranking among the Flyweights. For his next fight, I can see him fighting either Brandon Royval or Amir Albazi. With both men on two-fight skids, I'd normally side with

Strickland may have looked better than he ever has before, completely shutting down a monster in Anthony Hernandez. With Strickland snapping Fluffy's 8-fight winning streak, big things should be on the horizon for him. A third fight against Dricus Du Plessi

With teams getting hundreds of laps in over the past few weeks, all that's left is to wait until the opening weekend in Australia. Though testing does not provide a concrete picture of what fans can expect in terms of true pace, things can definitely be taken away after seeing the cars on track. I compiled what I believe to be the 5 biggest takeaways,

From two new teams to entirely new regulations, F1 has entered a new era of racing. But how different does it look? What should fans expect before the season? What should fans know? Well, you've come to the right place, as I have gathered all information from various source

While I like his shoutout to Cory Sandhagen, I think his next opponent should be Song Yadong. Yadong has lost two of his last three fights now after losing to O'Malley in January and probably needs someone further down the rankings than Sandhagen would. In co

Quarterback Sam Darnold is coming off arguably the best game of his career last time out, with his defense playing to the elite level they have been all season long. On th
