Kosei Tanaka will no longer defend his WBO super flyweight title after challenger Jonathan Rodriguez weighed six pounds over the limit. Tanaka, a four-weight world champion and pound-for-pound star, was scheduled to put the belt on the line for the first time on Saturday. The 29-year-old won the strap against Christian Rangel last February and aimed to cement his place as one of the top Japanese fighters. However, he was disappointed by Rodriguez missing on the scales by a wide margin at 121 and three-quarter pounds. Tanaka weighed just under 115 at the first attempt.

Tenshin Nasukawa, the kickboxer flattened by Floyd Mayweather when giving away thirty pounds in weight, is now 4-0 as a boxer. The Japanese former combat champion, who holds a record of 44-0 in his alternative sport, cracked Jonathan Rodriguez several times in the head before getting the job done in three.

Billionaire Joe Ricketts has ordered crews to immediately stop construction of his long-planned Sublette County luxury resort, and restore the area to its natural condition. A project that would have made a tourist destination out of the tiny, sleepy Hoback River basin community of Bondurant has been called off because of protective wildlife stipulations that abbreviated the construction season. Ricketts sought an exemption from the seasonal restrictions, which he claimed in a memo obtained by WyoFile would have increased the cost of building the high-end all-inclusive resort by $60 million to $100 million, but his request was denied .
