TSC News TV host Fred Richani discusses WWE reportedly being sold to Saudi Arabia after an agreement in principle, per Bodyslam.net's Cassidy Haynes and DAZN's Steven Muehlhausen. It is unclear if Vince McMahon will be WWE Chairman and Head of Creative, but this is obviously an incredibly polarizing rumored acquisition -- to say the least. The company would go private and leave the New York Stock Exchange per the reports. More on this as it develops. ✅Subscribe for more wrestling content: http://www.youtube.com/TheSportsCourier

TSC News TV host Fred Richani reacts to the horrific results of the UFC 282 main event and co-main event. In the UFC 282 main event, Jan Blachowicz vs. Magomed Ankalaev was scored a split draw, despite Ankalaev clearly winning the fight. Blachowicz even admitted after the fight that he thought Ankalaev had won. The UFC light heavyweight championship remains vacant for now. In the UFC 282 co-main event, Paddy Pimblett was gifted a unanimous decision win (29-28 across the board) over Jared Gordon in a fight he very obviously lost. Between UFC 282 and Bellator 289, it has not been a good weekend for MMA judging to say the least. ✅Subscribe for more MMA content: http://www.youtube.com/TheSportsCourier
