Welcome to the forum! Your work is good. Sports work is fun. I shoot my sons' soccer for the parents. Your wish list is good, but work with what you have. Save up! I have a 70-200 2.8 IS and 100-400 sports. But primes can be very nice. If you start with one, the 200 1.8 is good. Lots of money, though.

Medium format is great. My brother is a pro retired and he loves his Hasselblad stuff, but I am too poor for that and he doesn't do digital, and film is really expensive to buy and process. He's into Leica's now. I have been a Canon gal since I got the old AE-1 Program. I took some beautiful pictures with that camera. Now, years after joining POTN, I am shooting pro and traveling all over the world, but with digital and learning the software daily.

Your choices of the 135 and 85 1.2 make me wonder if you understand the speed issue with the 85. It's a great lens but I would not use it for sports, too slow. It is nothing as fast as the 85 1.8. The 135 is great, but depending on the sport you are shooting, too short. I went from the 70-200 to the 100-400 due to my son growing into the larger fields for soccer and I think those lenses are the best zooms out there for people like me who don't want to spend the money on the 300 2.8. Eventually, I will spend that kind of money, but I'm not getting paid and I don't plan to get paid in the near future. I shoot for the love of it and I wish I had good gear when I was your age to get me going. But I am sure you have goals and are pushing forward.

im choosing my lenses more on portraiture rather than sports. i really only plan on doing the sports photog for school. i might get a 70-200 2.8 later on just incase or maybe even the 200 1.8 which ive loved so far.
i do alot of portraits and random photography where the 85 and 135 would b perfect. maybe i can kill two birds with one stone and just use the 200 1.8 for both. 4k is a little steep at the moment for me

ill probably post some of my portraits and see what people say :)
