Raiders RB must have been flying through the airport tunnel in Vegas. His skids marks are over 300 feet after hitting the wall 159 more feet...arrested for DUI. Looking at his mug shot... he’s got to learn from this. NO excuse for driving impaired. #RaiderNation

A $200,000 bet was placed on Masvidal at +230 against Kamaru Usman in tonight's welterweight title fight. If Masvidal were to pull off the upset, the total payout for the wager would be $660,000. Masvidal is now priced at +220 at William Hill, while Usman is -260.
