I went back and watched Justin Gaethje's walkout last night, and I don't know if there will ever be a greater one in the history of fighting.

The cinematography. The song. Him looking at the Declaration of Independence. The Oval Office.

Then to go out and pull off one of the greatest upsets ever against an undefeated phenom—as an American at the White House.

When the story of this fight is told years from now, I'm not sure we've ever seen someone rise to the occasion quite like Gaethje did.

Morgan Rogers Update

• Morgan Rogers has given preference to joining the English champions. Other clubs are still actively in the race but acknowledge the player's current preference.

• Morgan Rogers has respectfully communicated his desire to leave to senior figures at Villa (significant).

• Personal terms have been explored and are not a hindrance at all.

• Morgan Rogers is sold on the Mikel Arteta project and plan for him.

• Morgan Rogers was on the shortlist of attacking reinforcements Arsenal discussed last summer.

• My understanding is that Villa and Arsenal are in contact through unofficial channels regarding any potential deal. Remember my words: the fee is key to this deal. The player is fully on board.

• Andrea Berta has asked to be kept fully informed about any other club making a move for Morgan. If Arsenal do make a move, there will be another update.

Chelsea, in particular, have been pleading with Morgan to showcase their plan for him, but as of today, the response is "Arsenal." Manchester United have also explored the situation of Morgan, with Carrick being a big fan.

Bradley Barcola and one other player are also of interest to Arsenal. Details on that in due time.

Arsenal are also in direct contact with multiple midfielders, as recently as a few days ago. The likes of Bouaddi, Scott, Kone, Larsson, and two others. As I mentioned yesterday, we are yet to make contact with any club officially while Berta explores personal terms with all of them. One of these players is convinced he is joining Arsenal. It's important to remember that Livramento also felt the same way, but it highlights how strong the conversations are.

Arsenal are also monitoring the Madrid midfielder situation. Tonali was offered to us in January; talks have never surpassed personal terms as of today. These clubs are using Elliot Anderson's deal as a market scale. Newcastle want crazy money, as do Palace for Wharton.

Personally, I hope its Ayyoub Bouaddi we accelerate a move for!

Taking a very short holiday. I'll be back!

🚨🔵⚪️ No doubts since last week on Nico Páz preference to stay at Como for one more season, even more after Bernardo deal — Real Madrid are informed of that.

But Como and Real are still in talks to find the best solution about Nico deal, all parties in contact. Not done yet.

Breaking: Serena and Venus Williams are bringing their doubles partnership back at Wimbledon.

The move comes after Serena recently returned to competition after nearly four years away from professional tennis. Venus has still been competing sporadically.

[Fight Basics @fightbasicz]

UFC White House estimated salaries.

Interestingly, Alex Pereira took by far the most money. After him, Ilia Topuria is next, who also suffered another loss after initially asking for $20M to fight Islam, but eventually settled for $2.5M, thinking it would be an easier fight.

Justin Gaethje earned $2.35M (including $825K in bonuses), and Ciryl Gane made $1.25M.

The rest of the fighters earned under $1M each.

Sean O'Malley $650k

Diego Lopes $450K

Michael Chandler $420K

And Derick Lewis $420k
