The leader almost improved by a shot, until a bogey at 18 brought him back to level on the day. What did happen, was an extension of the lead. What was a four-shot advantage at Saturday’s dawn, grew to a…

Ciryl Gane beat Alex Pereira at the UFC White House event to win the interim heavyweight title, but the fight was not without controversy. The French kickboxer threw some pretty questionable strikes to the back of Pereira’s head after a rocked “Poatan” shot for a takedown, leading to the end of the fight (watch the highlights here).“I think every time anybody fights, the referee should be watching everything that happens,” White said. “And I say it all the time, and I’ll say it again: no reffing anywhere is perfect.
