The fans remember the highlights but the franchises remember the technology, data, and inventions that powered their season. Host Tyler Kern sits down with the innovators, leaders and founders that are taking sports into the future.

Mixed martial arts, or MMA, has risen to compete with the established mainstream sports in a fraction of the time it took those sports to reach widespread adoption and attention. But one key difference has separated fighting from traditional sports – the lack of a structured regular season and playoff format.

Donn Davis is working to change this through the Professional Fighters League, set to launch early next year. Davis sees an opportunity to capture some of the market share away from the UFC by making the events more easily accessible through digital platforms, where young fans are currently consuming most of their content, and creating a mobile gambling experience.

The Professional Fighters League will be all in on data and letting fans choose their own experience. The league will be launching an app that lets the fans choose specific camera angles that they want to watch the fight from, as well as making a plethora of data instantly available to let fans know which fighter has the edge or be able to make “prop” bets in real time on stats, such as fastest kick.

Roswell's thin air made a T-6 crew chief start his tuning over

Roswell's thin air made a T-6 crew chief start his tuning over

Charlie Duffy, crew chief for Greg McNeely's race 90 T-6, says the engine numbers his crew learned over years at Reno do not work in Roswell's thinner air. Running 2,400 rpm and 70 gallons an hour, against a stock Smithsonian rating of 450 hp at 2,100 rpm, the crew is rebuilding its data from telemetry in the National Championship Air Races' second year at Roswell.

  • 01Race 90's engine runs at 2,400 rpm burning 70 gallons an hour, against the 450 hp at 2,100 rpm the Smithsonian lists for a stock R-1340 Wasp.
  • 02The National Championship Air Races left Reno-Stead after the 2023 event and started at Roswell in 2025, so no T-6 crew has more than two Septembers of Roswell data.
  • 03Duffy saved no telemetry from the first Roswell year; this season he is logging cylinder-head temperature, fuel flow and pressure to set the plane up for 2027.

Plano's mayor says Willow Bend is a district, not a Stars arena with parking

Plano's mayor says Willow Bend is a district, not a Stars arena with parking

Plano Mayor John Muns characterizes the proposed Dallas Stars arena site at Willow Bend as a mixed-use entertainment district with shopping, housing, offices, and hotels, not merely a parking lot with an arena. Voters will decide the venue tax proposition in November, pending release of final renderings that show the full scope of a development already approved as a base plan before the Stars expressed interest.

  • 01Willow Bend was approved as a mixed-use development before the Stars came to Plano; the arena is an addition to an existing plan for shopping, restaurants, housing, and office space.
  • 02Plano has grown from roughly 25,000 residents in 1970 to over 300,000 today, making it the ninth-largest city in Texas, and the mayor argues the metropolitan center has shifted north from Dallas toward Plano.
  • 03Plano's strategy relies on redevelopment of existing sites rather than greenfield development; past examples include AT&T's headquarters on the former EDS campus and the Kintetsu Miyako Hotel on the old JCPenney campus.
