WWE superstar Becky Lynch has made quite an impact since her main roster debut in July, all the way through her winning the promotions inaugural SmackDown womens championship on Sept. 11 at WWE Backlash.Lynch, 29, whose real name is Rebecca Quin, was a guest of ESPNs pro wrestling podcast Cheap Heat on Thursday to talk about her life and career in sports entertainment. What she ultimately revealed was a love for the one sport she actively follows: mixed martial arts.A native of Ireland, Lynch was asked about comments made in August by her countryman, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor, who referred to WWE stars as master p---ies and that he would slap the head off of the entire roster.Lynch said she was far from offended, acknowledging that McGregor was almost certainly working the whole time. She referenced his prior use of wrestling quotes during his trash-talking, including a line from Stone Cold Steve Austin.Look, McGregor is a businessman through and through, Lynch said. Hes obviously a wrestling fan.He used a wrestling line to offend wrestlers. He knows what hes doing, hes using wrestling-style promos. And it has gotten him to where he is today. Hes just being a smart businessman and fair play to him for it.Lynch, who mentioned on Twitter?in August that her favorite UFC fighter was unbeaten bantamweight Luke Sanders (whom she has a close friendship?with), also shared her take on McGregors majority-decision win over Nate Diaz at UFC 202 in their rematch.It was good, [but] can I ask? I feel like Diaz held back, Lynch said. Dont you? Do you know what I mean? I feel like he wasnt hitting him as hard as he could. I wonder if he just wanted to make it go to fight No. 3.Lynch admitted she was also an interested spectator of former WWE champion CM Punks MMA debut on Sept. 10, when he was submitted in just more than two minutes by Mickey Gall at UFC 203, but wasnt pleased by the outcome.It was so hard to watch, Lynch said. I felt very uncomfortable, but man, fair play to him.Despite her interest in MMA as a fan, Lynch was careful not to suggest you will be seeing her inside of a cage anytime soon.I remember I did a boxing class, Lynch said. I remember sparring one time and the guy smacked me right in the nose and I was just like, What is this? No. No. None of that. Chris Devenski Astros Jersey .

Jose Altuve Astros Jersey . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame linebacker Greer Martini was so nervous facing the triple option for the first time he broke out in hives.Turns out he had nothing to worry about. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound junior from Cary, North Carolina, led the Fighting Irish in tackles that day in 2014 against Navy with nine and has been Notre Dames best player against the option. Hes led the Irish in tackles three of the four times they have faced the option with a total of 36 tackles.He finished with a career-high 11 tackles in a 28-27 loss to Navy last week and is expected to play a key role when the Irish (3-6) play Army (5-4) in San Antonio on Saturday.Greers a really smart player. He has a good sense of the triple, coach Brian Kelly said.Martini said he has no idea why he plays so well against option teams other than playing disciplined and trusting his teammates.Some people just have a natural instinct for the triple option, I think Im one of those, he said. I think its just about effort, relentless effort. You run to the ball you can make some plays even if youre not fundamentally sound against a triple option team like that.Army ranks second in the nation in rushing offense at 320.6 yards a game, ranking only behind New Mexico. The Black Knights, who the Irish have beatten 14 straight times, were held to a season-low 140 yards rushing in a 31-12 loss to Air Force last week.ddddddddddddMartini said playing against triple option teams in back-to-back games should help because the hardest thing to prepare for is the speed.The more you see of it, the better you get at it, he said.Martini first showed what he could do against the option as a freshman when he was the fourth linebacker and the Irish decided to go with a four-linebacker scheme against Navy. He got his first start and the bout with hives.I was pretty nervous beforehand, but once the game got flowing I was fine, he said.Its been his specialty ever since, making four of his nine starts against option teams. Hes at his best against the run because of his physical play but hes smart player and can play all three linebacker positions. He doesnt want to be known primarily as a specialist against the triple option.I think its my opportunity for the most part to get on the field, he said. But I showed that I can make some plays and hopefully play further on the defense the rest of the year.---More AP college football at http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
