Malo  and welcome to Season 3 Episode 45 of Breakfast Bites, by  TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on this bright but  slightly overcast Monday morning 14 November 2022, coming to you from  paradise on the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean ! We start with boxing – in only his 8th UFC fight, Brazilian Knockout King Alex Pereira claimed the UFC Middleweight title with a fifth-round TKO win over Kiwi-Nigerian superstar, Israel Adesanya. In the co-headliner at the Garden, New York city on Sunday, Zhang Weili begin her second reign as Women’s UFC Strawweight Champion when she submitted Carla Esparza with a choke in the 2nd round. Pereira, Weili, Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler each earned US$50,000 bonuses on the night. UFC281 drew 20,845 fans for a live gate of US$11.6Million at Madison Square Garden, New York city. In rugby union – Scotland  scored 23 unanswered points having trailed 14-0, but the All Blacks  scored two late tries against 14 men for a 31-23 win at Murrayfield  overnight. "We're disappointed we didn't see it through. That's the best  opportunity we've had to beat them," Scotland Coach Gregor Townsend said. In  football – PSG superstars, Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe came  through their final game before the FIFA World Cup unscathed, with  Mbappe scoring in their 5-0 trashing of Auxerre at home yesterday. Messi  and Neymar came off with about 15 minutes left but Mbappe played the  full game. In rugby league – Stephen  Crichton’s match-winning drop goal in Golden Point extra-time for Toa  Samoa to eliminate England from the RLWC final was a career first - as  he is banned from even attempting them with Penrith. “I was zero from  four in the NRL! Hopefully I get my licence back!” “I’ve  never hit one before. I thought I hit it short,” Stephen Crichton said  of his match-winning 84th-minute drop goal. This certainly won’t be his  last. Go Samoa Go! Only in the USA – the Mother of all cryptocurrency  platforms - FTX, valued at US$32Billion in January, has gone bankrupt  in a puff of bulldust - with serious impact on its sports sponsorships  including: the Mercedes F1 racing team, MLB, the Golden State Warriors, Tom Brady and Steph Curry.
