Does Tennis star Daniel break his wrist also? How's he getting on? Is Max devoted boyfriend we all know him to be? Love the au sm!💖

OMG Pixie! Thank you for this ask! I'm so happy you enjoy it! 💗💗💗 Originally I had no intention of Danny getting injured, there was like a vague outline of what I wanted to happen for the US Open. Then I read this lovely ask and my brain pressed delete and then I furiously wrote this. It is not edited lmao, I hope it makes sense. I'll put it under the cut, we got a little angsty too.

Part 1 | Part 16 | Part 18

Part 17

It was in the second round of the US Open when it happened. In Arthur Ashe Stadium at prime time. A freak accident they called it. 

It was the second set, Daniel was returning a volley and he…tripped. The ball boys had accounted for all the stray balls except one that had fallen from one of their hands. They couldn’t stop play in time and instead of allowing himself to fall into the teen trying to retrieve the ball; Daniel pivoted with the grace of a UFC fighter and landed on his side. Heavily.

He had thrown his arm out reflexively to catch himself but his momentum was too much and long story short he was sat in the hospital in a cast. 

“At least it’s a clean break.” Blake had said, trying to find any silver lining. Daniel stared morosely ahead as the news (which he requested be kept on) kept replaying the moment of the fall and him immediately clutching his arm to his chest in pain. They were praising his quick thinking and agility for not injuring the poor boy with a montage of him being led from centre court to a standing ovation overlayed.

His phone was going off uncontrollably, but he was ignoring it. Max had called Blake immediately after it happened; he saw it live watching from Italy. They’d had no information for him then, and Daniel wasn’t sure if Blake had been keeping him updated. He hoped he was.

Daniel stared ahead for an indeterminate amount of time. He was in shock. How could it have gone so so badly in so little time. He was the fucking world number one; something he’d dreamt about for ages. He was on his way to win the final grand slam of the season and now…

The cast felt heavy against his chest where it rested. He couldn’t breathe under the metaphorical weight of it. 

“I want Max.” Daniel croaked out, clearing his throat. He hadn’t spoken since checking into the hospital, letting Blake and Micheal do all the work. 

“He’s sending his plane to take us to Spain. Red Bull are getting us a consultation with a Dr Mir to— apparently he’s the best at this sort of injury.” Blake offered instead, still texting feverishly.

“At least this was the final of the year. I mean outside of the invitational…” Michael trailed off.

“Where’s my phone? I— Max.” Daniel motioned with his good hand jerkily, hissing when he jostled his cast. Blake caved and handed him the device which he took to immediately facetime his boyfriend. 

Max answered before the first ring even finished. His worried eyes filled the screen and Daniel offered a small smile in spite of himself.

“Hey.” Daniel whispered, because he all of a sudden felt overwhelmed. 

“Danny! How— how are you feeling?” Max seemed like he just jolted himself into stillness. Maybe he had been pacing.

“Can I see you?” Daniel bypassed answering, because he wasn’t feeling up to trying to put words to the tumult inside him. It wasn’t all good all ways, not by a long shot. 

Max hesitated, and Daniel felt bad immediately. It was a stupid question, Max had just arrived in Milan, this was a full race weekend. There would be no opportunity.

“Sorry— fuck. That was a dumb question.” Daniel mumbled. 

“Vicky says that Dr Mir is like on call for Moto GP guys— so he knows what he’s doing. Hopefully you can get surgery this week a–and  then I can meet you in Monaco after the race, maybe? You can stay at my place— I have a week before singapore— I can help take care of you?” He said it all in a rush, as if thinking if he gave Daniel a moment to consider or answer he’d have declined. 

This was new for them, they were still new. They didn’t really know how the other were when they were losing or hurt. 

“Ok– yeah.” Daniel replied because, of course. He wanted to see Max, needed to be held by his boyfriend right now. And if everyone trusted this Dr Mir, then he would too. He could probably ask Fabio about him, or something. 

Everything was a rush and a blur after that. Daniel slept most of the flight to Barcelona, he was in surgery within two days and on some amazing painkillers. He didn’t much remember getting to Moncao or arriving at Max’s but he’d woken out of sleep enough with a cat randomly on or by him that he knew he was there.

Max arrived Sunday night, his hair still smelled like champaign. It was the best smell Daniel smelt when Max leaned over to kiss him while he was propped up on the couch. It was clear that Blake gave him all the information over the phone because he didn’t ask anything, just made himself comfortable on Daniel’s good side and cuddled him closer, tracing the lines of the cast lightly with his finger. Outlining the rose he knew to be there.

Daniel leaned into him easily. It was a shit situation, but Max was here.

Mixed Martial Arts neighborhood was shocked Wednesday mid-day when ESPN’s Ariel Helwani reported that the UFC and also ONE Champion were close to completing a bargain to basically switch Demetrious Johnson for Ben Askren. No “profession” similar to this has actually ever before happened in the sporting activity, and also currently it is occurring with among the pound-for-pound fantastic and also an unbeaten welterweight that was champ in 2 promotions.Let’s break down one of the most sixty-four-thousand-dollar questions increased by this unmatched action. Is the profession done? No, yet it is close to being finished. Both sides, according to Helwani, are straightening out the last arrangements. Achieved light-weight Eddie Alvarez has actually authorized an unique manage Asia-based battle promo One Champion. Is this a real ‘profession’? No, not in itself. Since it entails 2 companies and also competitors under the agreement, the professional athletes can not merely be switched. Johnson will certainly be launched from his UFC agreement, released to authorize with ONE. Askren will certainly be launched from his ONE agreement, released to authorize with the UFC. Both sides have actually concurred that these ultimate finalizing will certainly happen. That is included? Demetrious Johnson was the UFC’s initial flyweight champ. He safeguarded his belt 11 successive times to damage Anderson Silva’s UFC document. That touch finished in his latest battle in August, when Henry Cejudo won a close split choice. Prior to that, Johnson was rated as ESPN’s leading pound-for-pound competitor. Ben Askren was a four-time All-American wrestler at Missouri, asserting 2 nationwide titles. He completed in the 2008 Olympics. After university, he started learning Mixed Martial Arts and also ultimately authorized with Bellator. He came to be the promo’s welterweight champ in 2010 and also safeguarded the title 4 times prior to entrusting to authorize with ONE. He won that promo’s belt in2014 After his last protection, in November, he revealed he was retiring. He continues to be unbeaten. What is ONE Champion? Obviously you understand the UFC. ONE Champion? Some might have damaged their heads questioning why the UFC’s long time flyweight champ would certainly wish to leave for a smaller sized company. ONE, nonetheless, isn’t as tiny as you might believe. The Singapore-based business is the biggest worldwide sporting activities media building in the background of Asia. The promo’s Kingdom of Heroes card previously this month had 25 million customers throughout all systems, according to Nielsen. ONE, established in 2011, authorized previous UFC and also Bellator light-weight champ Eddie Alvarez recently to a bargain he states deserves “8 numbers.” More: The unique complex of protein and fats found in human breast milk KILLS over 40 types of cancer Why did the profession occur? Askren, 34, determined to retire as ONE’s welterweight champ after 4 years of controling competitors in the company. He felt he had actually accomplished what he required to. That claimed, when he made the option to tip away, he recognized that he would certainly return for the ideal spell. It might come earlier than later on with his entrance right into the UFC. There’s no lack of prospective challengers that would certainly be of passion, consisting of long time UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre. Johnson’s objective to leave the UFC is a little bit much more complex. He has actually had issues with the promo for many years based upon monetary rewards and also PPV factors. In spite of his preeminence in the department, he thinks the UFC did not market him sufficient to make him the super star he saw himself coming to be. The flyweight department, the lightest competitors on the lineup, have actually usually attracted reduced viewership numbers contrasted to various other weight courses. One more element for Johnson’s passion in this action might be his solid partnership with Matt Hume, his head trainer at AMC Pankration in Kirkland, Washington.

Johnson, 32, will certainly understand precisely what to anticipate from his brand-new residence, as Hume is likewise vice head of state of procedures for ONE Champion. Is the UFC’s flyweight department at risk? This continues to be to be seen, though the UFC has actually not attracted solid viewership numbers for battles in this department. Currently, with flyweight’s most significant celebrity gone and also with present champ Cejudo sharing passion in tough bantamweight champ TJ Dillashaw, concerns stay concerning the long-lasting practicality of the weight course. Whom could each competitor face in his brand-new company? The noticeable initial challenger for Askren is St-Pierre. The long time welterweight champ lately informed ESPN he would certainly return just for battles that would significantly affect his heritage. This might be that battle, as GSP would certainly be dealing with an unbeaten, two-promotion champ. Johnson need to action in and also defend ONE’s flyweight belt instantly. That indicates dealing with Geje Eustaquio, a Filipino competitor that asserted the title previously this year. He’s 11 -6 in his expert profession.

UFC Fights Ireland: Dana White Finally Breaks Silence on December Rumors

UFC may return to Ireland after an eight-year absence, but the news has not been confirmed. Since 2015, the Republic of Ireland is yet to host a UFC fight. This has left MMA fans in "The Emerald Isle" begging for more live action.

The picture is still far from certain. Jamie Mullarkey’s management leaked the information on social media when they said that Mullarkey was fighting in Ireland next.

During an interview, UFC's CEO Dana White finally commented on the rumored Ireland event. Dana White answered, "There are also rumblings of Ireland taking place in December. Is this true?"

White responded with frustration and humor. "Now we are in fu**ing Ireland. I don't know if we will be going to Ireland. You blew this, kid. You blew that." Is there anyone else with a stupid question?

White's reaction reflects his cautious attitude towards a possible return to Ireland. Although rumors are circulating, there has been no confirmation. White seems to be avoiding revealing any details for the time being.

UFC Ireland fans eagerly anticipate news about a possible homecoming of the promotion. The status of UFC 296 remains unknown until an official announcement has been made.

Unconfirmed fighters for UFC Ireland's upcoming event

As the UFC Ireland event draws near, rumors are circulating in the UFC Community. However, no official match card has yet been announced. Latest speculation focuses on possible matchups which could make the December event a must-watch showdown for fight fans.

In a recent press conference, UFC president Dana White teased a potential showdown between Jiri Pereira and Alex Prochazka, a prospect which has attracted a lot of attention. They could end up facing each other at the event in December.

A potential confrontation between Conor McGregor, Michael Chandler and others is another intriguing rumor. The rivalry between the two intensified when they were competing coaches in The Ultimate Fighter Season 31. McGregor then fueled rumors when he tweeted about a fight in December and shared a UFC 296 promotional graphic. Later, however, it became clear that the graphic wasn't an official announcement. According to UFC's CEO, McGregor is also unsure about his return this year.

Giga Chakadze then publicly confronted Yair Rod at the UFC Singapore Press Conference, expressing a desire to get a place on the UFC 296 Card so that they could make an appearance at UFC Ireland. Sean O'Malley's revelation that he had been in discussions with Conor McGregor regarding the headline and co-headline bouts for UFC 296 added to the excitement. The clash can therefore also happen.

These rumors are sure to generate buzz but it is important to remember that the official match card has not yet been released. Fans will therefore have to wait until the official confirmation.

Erin Blanchfield vs Jessica Andrade | FREE FIGHT | UFC Singapore

[theanticool]

I’m just going to talk about the fights I care about for this Singapore card. Honestly, not a whole lot of technical aspects to cover. Feels like a lot of the fights are going to be one sided. Bear with me.

Max Holloway vs Korean Zombie - This fight is sad. While Chan Sung Jung is still a top 10-15 fighter at featherweight, this match up could easily turn into a 5 rounds of a too tough for his own good KZ getting pieced up by Max Holloway a la Holloway-Kattar. I can’t knock it too much as it was the fight KZ asked for and with him being open about the end being near, give him one last big fight. He deserves it. But I expect sad times.

Giga Chikadze vs Alex Caceres - I strangely like this fight. While Caceres lacks a level of physicality and raw athleticism to hang with the top of the featherweight division, no striker by Cisco Rivera has ever been able to put him away. It’s always been big strong wrestle-grappling types who have been his foil. That said, I expect the technical, athletic, and power edge to carry Chiladze to decisive victory. Unless Giga has spent the last 17 months actively getting worse as a fighter, I think he should take it.

Rinya Nakamura vs. Fernie Garcia - according to Tapology, I have seen Fernie Garcia twice. The fact I can’t remember anything about him and that he lost twice to some guys does not bode well for him. This is a fight meant to get the UFC’s next big hopeful star, U23 wrestling world champ Rinya Nakamura some cage time. But I’m interested in seeing what improvements he’s made since Road to the UFC. He’s been working at ATT alongside Kyoji Horiguchi and them. Guy has a bright future!

Erin Blanchfield vs Taila Santos - the first proper competitive fight I’ll talk about. Erin Blanchfield has only grown more and more confident as a striker in the UFC. While the technical polish isn’t there, the power and aggressiveness are. In contrast, I’d argue the biggest thing that kept Taila Santos from straight up beating Valentina Shevchenko in her last fight was her unwillingness to exchange on the feet. Her reliance on Valentina feeding her takedowns as opposed to being able to use strikes to set them up herself meant when Valentina stopped, so did her opportunities. That said, if Blanchfield comes out guns blazing like she did against Andrade, she could find herself getting tied up and taken down. And while her top game is impressive, we have seen Blanchfield lose a bottom side grappling match to a physically imposing opponent (Tracy Cortez) before. Granted that was 4 years ago but still. I’m excited to see what new things both women have been working on since the last time we’ve seen them!

Kenan Song vs Rolando Bedoya - Song had a more competitive fight with Ian Garry than Neil Magny, which will always be funny to me. That said, i think it’s fair after 25+ fights to say that we’ve probably seen his ceiling. A fun action fighter who can and will be folded by fighters who are either more experienced or athletically gifted. So this fight with Bedoya has me intrigued, because I don’t think he’s either. But what he has shown is that he’s got some Alex Morono in him. Bedoya has a lot of intangibles that fighters who make long careers in fighting without competing for gold have. Good defensive instincts. Fills space with offense well. A guy like Song is the perfect test for him.

JJ Aldrich vs Na Liang - JJ Aldrich is the quintessential example you point to when you tell people this is a sport of athletes. Cause technically, she’s a darn good fighter. Great job. Solid striking. Ok wrestling. But because she is not fast, powerful, or physically imposing, she will occasionally get her doors blown off by a more athletic fighter like Maycee Barber or Erin Blanchfield. Like Aldrich was winning those fights in a lot ways before the other women just decided they were done and went in for the kill. Against Na Liang, I think it makes for an interesting fight.
