1. IIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT's TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!! If you watch UFC you'll know what I mean. The UK have their first ever UFC champion and he defends his Middleweight belt on Saturday night against UFC God George St Pierre. GSP has not fought for a few years and is stepping up a weight class in an effort to become a UFC champion again. What is the name of the current Middleweight champion?

Explanation

Michael Bisping from Clitheroe upset the odds defeating Luke Rockhold to win the UFC middleweight belt and successfully defended against old time foe Dan Henderson in Manchester last year. (I was there it was amazing). He'll be hoping to defend again and stay as champion at Madison Square Garden at UFC 217.

4. The William Hill St Leger is one of the elite greyhound competitions in the calendar and continues on Saturday night with the semi-finals. It was run at Wembley Stadium 1928 to 1998 and moved to Wimbledon in 1999. Unfortunately Wimbledon dog track has closed down and so the event has had to move to a different track. Which track now hosts the William Hill St Leger?

Explanation

Ferryforth Fran was the last winner at Wimbledon in 2016 but with the track closing the race has been moved to Perry Bar.

Submit
5. England continue their World Cup journey on Saturday when they face Lebanon on Saturday at a very reasonable time of 9.30am. England will want to bounce back from that disappointing loss to Australia and Lebanon won their first ever World Cup match defeating France 29-18. Lebanon scored a drop goal in the match but how many points do you get for a drop goal in Rugby League?

Explanation

Unlike rugby union which is 3 points, in rugby league it is 1 point for a drop goal. That 1 point could prove massive at the end of the game though!

Submit
6. The jumps season is back in full force and so is the popular William Hill promotion High Five. Nice and easy a horse wins by 5 lengths or more in a qualifying race and the customer receives a 15% bonus free bet. Can you match the horse with its trainer?

Explanation

Phillips Hobbs had a classy Cheltenham winner in Defi Du Sueil winning the Triumph Hurdle. Next up maybe the Champion Hurdle but his rating of 157 and five year olds not having the best record it could be a tough task.
Willie Mullins will be hoping Faugheen will be back to his best as he missed last season due to injury. With Annie Power in foal he could be Mullins best chance for the Champion Hurdle.
Gordon Elliott inherited Apple's Jade when Michael O'Leary moved his Gigginstown squad from Mullins to Elliott last year. She was a tenacious winner of the Mares Hurdle last year beating old stablemate Vroum Vroum Mag, Elliott will be hoping she fires on all cylinders this year.
Alan King's brilliant white horse Smad Place was a surprise winner of the Hennessy Gold Cup in 2015 and recently won the Old Roan at Aintree last Sunday. King will be hoping Smad Place winning form continues this year.
Nicky Henderson's superstar Altior could do no wrong winning the Supreme Novice in 2016 and then the Arkle in 2017. He will be hoping to battle Douvan in the Champion Chase this year and potentially add another Cheltenham winner medal for team Henderson
