UNLESS YOUโVE BEEN glued to the internet all weekend, thereโs a chance that some weird and wonderful sporting tidbits might have slipped through the cracks. Hereโs a run-down of some of the stories you may have missed.

2. #FLIPPING THE BIRD Nate Diaz was in the middle of his UFC fight with Benson Henderson when Fox cut away momentarily to footage of an empty octagon. It turns out the trash-talking American had given his opponent the middle finger as the pair were locked together on the ground.
Itโs not the first time Diaz has done something like this to try and rile his opponent but it didnโt do him much good as Henderson won by unanimous decision.

3. #ITโS BEHIND YOU Colchester Unitedโs Brian Wilson gets himself into a good position to clear Matt Derbyshireโs goalbound effort but commits the cardinal sin and turns his back on the ball โ allowing it to clip his heel and trickle in.
