AO Conquered: Ft. Naomi Osaka🇯🇵

In September, as bad blood spilled on to the Louis Armstrong Stadium Court in New York, Naomi Osaka shut out the enveloping acrimony and earned herself a maiden Grand Slam title. Four months later here in Melbourne - on the other side of her 21st birthday - the Japanese star once more showed enormous resilience, willpower and nerve to win again at the next opportunity. This time there was no Serena Williams, and the umpire was returned to a supporting role. But many still would have faltered after seeing three championship points saved, and being dragged into a deciding set in the Australian Open final. "I'm not sure if it's feeling grown up, or being able to dissociate my feelings," Osaka said after Saturday's  7-6 (7-2) 5-7 6-4 victory  over Czech Petra Kvitova.

Conor McGregor says he will beat Khabib Nurmagomedov by "devastating knockout" in his comeback UFC fight in Las Vegas on Saturday. Speaking on  Ariel Helwani's MMA Show , Irishman McGregor added he would "never announce his retirement" from MMA. McGregor, 30, will return to the octagon for the first time in almost two years when he fights Russia's undefeated UFC lightweight champion Nurmagomedov in UFC 229. "I'm going to maul him," McGregor said. "I will clatter him; he will crumble. I don't think he can take a smack. He reacts like a novice. McGregor's last appearance in UFC came in November 2016 when he beat Eddie Alvarez to add the lightweight belt to his featherweight title.
