Former two-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor would love to avenge his loss to the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov but has said he will not pursue a rematch after a bad-tempered 2018 title clash that erupted into a mass brawl between the camps. Nurmagomedov's father died due to complications from COVID-19 last year and, following a spectacular submission win over Justin Gaethje that extended his professional record to 29 wins and no defeats, the Dagestani said he was retiring after promising his mother he would not fight again. Irishman McGregor, speaking at a media conference at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi where he faces American Dustin Poirier in a lightweight bout on Sunday, showed none of the brashness that made him famous as he addressed the chances of a rematch.

The sea shanty singing postman who made folk music go viral has quit his day job after winning a record deal with Polydor Records. Folk musician Nathan Evans posted a cover on social media app Tik Tok of the infamous 19th Century whaling song The Wellerman in December and quickly amassed a following. The 26-year-old’s song sparked a new trend for #ShantyTok as it was dueted by other users including Lord Lloyd-Webber who provided a musical accompaniment, leaving the Scot "speechless for about two days". Mr Evans, from Airdrie, Scotland, soon found himself at the centre of a media storm with views of the cover rising sevenfold since last week, amounting to a total of 7.8 million streams. On Wednesday, the postman shared with his newly acquired 566.3k followers that he had quit his job - and landed a music deal with Polydor Records. A visibly overwhelmed and shocked Mr Evans said: “See how I was a postman on Friday? I have just signed to the biggest record label in the world. I have just signed a deal with Polydor Records. I’ve done it. It’s done and I’m releasing a single.” For those wondering if the new single will be his rendition of The Wellerman, Mr Evans said “aye”. There is currently no set date for the release but the star has cracked open the champagne. "The future will be quite bright I hope. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it's never going to come around again. "Hopefully if nothing comes of it then I can go back and continue being a postman, but I thought at the minute I'll seize it and see what happens," he said.
Russia plans to produce a form of its Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine that can be transported and stored at normal fridge temperatures as opposed to -18 Celsius, Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said on Thursday. Such a move could help Russia in the global vaccine race by making it cheaper to store and transport Sputnik V, easing the logistical challenges posed by needing a colder supply chain and making it easier for developing nations to handle. Murashko said one of six of its manufacturers had developed a form of the vaccine that was stable at a temperature of 2-8 Celsius in liquid form, though he gave no timeline for its production.

The 2-1 extra-time defeat on Wednesday to the third division, semi-professional side followed a 2-1 loss to Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup and left last year's La Liga champions with one win in their last five games in all competitions. Zidane, who knows the pressures of Real as well as anyone, did his best to play down the Alcoyano defeat and insisted it should not be classed as an embarrassment, vowing his side would not lose their heads as a result.
