We should probably mention the UKs European Union referendum. Only, well have to do it without expressing any sort of opinion, and finding some way to link it to cricket. Thatll do. Now lets move on. There are plenty more burning questions to try and answer. And the result? We can probably guess how this one goes. He didnt even bother asking the question.Elsewhere, Shane Warne has offered us his life philosophy. … which explains a lot.And Stuart Broad is another whos apparently happy to be treated like a child. If youre wondering what Sachin Tendulkar enjoyed and where… And if youre wondering what Jimmy Neesham didnt enjoy… But for serious whingeing, theres only ever really one topic. Somewhere in the world there is always a cricketer complaining about air travel. Perhaps with a degree of justification on some occasions. This sounds like a busy day. Although apparently it could have been worse. But our cricketers can of course always entertain themselves by taking in-flight selfies. Farhaan Behardien only got his feet in shot. At the start of his trip, Dale Steyn managed both feet and one hand. Kevin Pietersen made use of a third party to ensure he delivered the goods. He also combined his effort with his new hobby of telling everyone just how much he likes wine, as if anyones in the least bit interested. You know the wine tweets. We mean this kind of thing. However, if we do have one criticism of the Pietersen in-flight selfie, its the distinct lack of sunglasses.As such, how about this effort from Shoaib Malik of which even Virat Kohli himself would be proud. Textbook.Kohli, meanwhile, is now so proficient that hes even seeing fit to guest-star in other peoples in-flight selfies. Shane Prince Jersey . Catch all the action on TSN2 at 11pm et/8pm pt. The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far. Mathew Barzal Jersey . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. http://www.hockeyislandersonline.us/Matt-Martin-Jersey/ . Their experience showed Tuesday as the No. 10 Badgers blunted a Saint Louis surge to win 63-57 and advance to face West Virginia in Wednesdays finals of the Cancun Challenge. Alan Quine Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. New York Islanders Jerseys . The 15th-ranked Canadian men lost the opening two games of their European tour: 19-15 to No. 17 Georgia and 21-20 to No. In the history of mixed martial arts, a lot of fighters have never been the same after suffering the kind of brutal defeat Michael Bisping was dealt by Dan Henderson at UFC 100.With 1.6 million pay-per-view buys, UFC 100 was the biggest event in the promotions history until UFC 202 in August, featuring?Conor McGregors rematch against Nate Diaz, broke the record with 1.65 million buys. It was also Bispings first title eliminator. The stage could not have been bigger.And I get knocked out in the most vicious way possible, Bisping said in the documentary Michael Bisping: My Destiny, set to air this week ahead of Saturdays rematch with Henderson headlining UFC 204 in Manchester, England.Heading into their first fight on July 11, 2009, Bispings career was red-hot. He won the third season of The Ultimate Fighter reality series and a six-figure UFC contract in 2006 and was making waves and going through the rankings. He was also earning the kind of money to finally give his wife and children the life they had dreamed of since he quit his job as a factory worker in the English market town of Clitheroe, Lancashire, and began tearing through the U.K. MMA scene undefeated.?After moving down to middleweight in the UFC, Bisping immediately set his eyes on becoming champion. He went 3-0 and was told he would be given a title shot if he won against Henderson, who was then one month shy of his 39th birthday. With bad blood having brewed between them since their time as opposing coaches in season nine of TUF, there was plenty of trash talk from Bisping in the buildup.?But Henderson had the last laugh at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Springing forward, he caught Bisping cold with his trademark right hand -- a punch that has been nicknamed the H Bomb -- to end the fight, adding one more punch for good measure while Bisping was on his back, before the referee jumped in to stop it. The sight of Bisping falling limp to the canvas has become one of the most iconic images in the UFCs 23-year history.?I knew what people were saying about me -- hes done, hes finished, Bisping said. That pissed me right off. I knew I wasnt done.With the attitude that he still had a lot of fight left in him, Bisping was inspired to keep going.Its one of the things that I respect about Bisping, to get beaten that dominantly, then pick yourself back up and start fighting your way to the top again, UFC president Dana White said. Thats Bispings mentality.Bisping would fight nearly seven more years of ups and downs, including another two agonizing title eliminator defeats. First, he suffered a career-threatening injury when a tremendous high kick from Vitor Belfort detached his retina at a UFC event in Brazil in January 2013.I was unlucky with that, he said. Everything that can go wrong with an eye went wrong. It was one thing after the other. It was over a year, [I] sat there doing nothing. You miss that excitement, you miss that thrill. You miss being in the thick of it all. I wasnt sure if I was ever gonna fight again. Fortunately, the doctors did a great job. I had a number of surgeries, passed medicals. I could still fight.TThen came a second-round submission defeat to Luke Rockhold at?UFC Fight Night in Australia in November 2014.dddddddddddd His self-confidence finally wavered. When UFC commentator Dan Hardy stepped into the Octagon to interview Bisping, he noticed something new.That was the first time I saw a question in his eyes, Hardy said. That was the first time he looked like, Maybe Im not gonna make it.Bisping agreed.After the Rockhold loss, there were times there that I never thought I was gonna get a title shot, he said.But, after Chris Weidman pulled out of a rematch against new champion Rockhold at UFC 199 in June, Bisping took the fight on two weeks notice. At age 37, in his 26th bout in the Octagon and his first in a title bout, Bisping rocked Rockhold in a stunning first-round upset.I knew it was my destiny, said Bisping, a child prodigy in jiu-jitsu from age 8. Thats powerful words. But if you have that vision in your mind, and you go out there and put the hard work in, make the sacrifices -- and with a bit of luck -- your destiny might just come true.White didnt even have his jacket on, but freaked out and ran into the Octagon to congratulate Bisping on his fairytale win.Ive known Bisping for so long, I know how hard he has worked to get there and to win that title, White said. So I wanted to be out there, and I wanted to put the belt on him. To see him finally achieve the one thing he really wanted to achieve, it was a special night. I was happy for him.For Bispings first defense, the UFCs choice of opponent could not have been for poetic. He faces the now 46-year-old Henderson at the Manchester Arena on Saturday, with a chance to avenge that first setback of his career in front of a home crowd.Bisping claimed during a media event Tuesday that he couldnt bring himself to watch the 2009 knockout loss to Henderson until the rematch was booked. He was finally forced to sit on his sofa at his California home and analyze what went wrong.My wife [Rebecca] sat next to me -- she was watching it, and I said, Oh my god. Jesus. Turn this off. Turn this off, Bisping said. We all have bad nights at the office. That was a good night at the office for Dan; it was a terrible night for me. What can you say?Of course, I wanted to see what happened. It was seven years ago. But it didnt resemble me at all. Id had many fights going into that fight, and thats not how I fight.Bisping insists he is a different fighter from the one who was brutally dispatched in 2009, and that Henderson, a former user of the now-banned testosterone replacement therapy, will not be the same either.Im much improved mentally and physically; Dan Henderson is kind of the opposite, he said. Hes not on the steroids, hes older. If you look at the muscle mass he had in that fight compared to now, its like two different fighters.This isnt even a rematch, because the two versions of ourselves are so completely different. This is Michael Bisping 2016 versus Dan Henderson 2016, because its two completely different fights.
