UFC TUF 18 Finale Fight Nate Diaz Vs Gray Maynard Fight


When Gray Maynard steps inside the Octagon tonight (Sat., Nov. 30, 2013) at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, to take on Nate Diaz in a lightweight main event of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 18 Finale, it won't be the first time the two have squared off.In fact, it won't even be the second.This fight caps off an odd sort of trilogy from Maynard and Diaz dating back to 2007. Both men came into the UFC through season 5 of The Ultimate Fighter. In that season, Diaz defeated Maynard by submission on the show before going on to become the TUF Season 5 champion. For years, that "exhibition" fight was the only blemish on Maynard's career. He avenged the loss in an official fight in 2010, taking a split decision win. Now, they look to conclude the trilogy and definitively prove who is the better fighter.In the main event, Gray Maynard will square off against Nate Diaz in a lightweight contest. Julianna Pena will face Jessica Rakoczy in the co-main event for the women's TUF 18 title.

Bill Belichick Rips Welker Over Hit On Talib AFC Championship


FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Patriots coach Bill Belichick called Wes Welker's collision Sunday with New England cornerback Aqib Talib "one of the worst plays I've seen," a sharp critique of the actions of one of his former stars. Belichick delivered the comments roughly one minute into his news conference at Gillette Stadium on Monday morning, less than 24 hours after the Patriots fell to the Denver Broncos 26-16 in the AFC Championship Game. Belichick's criticism was unprovoked, part of the coach's opening remarks, and stands as stinging commentary from a man who usually limits what he provides in a public forum."It was a deliberate play by the receiver to take out Aqib. No attempt to get open," Belichick said. "I'll let the league handle the discipline on that play, whatever they decide. It's one of the worst plays I've seen. That's all I'll say about that." The play that will now be talked about for years to come occurred in the second quarter Sunday. With the Broncos in the early portions of a drive that would put them up 10-0, Welker streaked through the middle of the field and smacked into a crossing Talib, who left with a knee injury and did not return."I was asked about the hit on Talib, and I feel badly for Aqib. The way that play turned out, I went back and watched it, which I didn't have a chance to yesterday. It was a deliberate play by the receiver to take out Aqib," Belichick said on Monday. "No attempt to get open. I'll let the league handle the discipline on that play. It's not for me to decide but it's one of the worst plays I've seen. That's all I'll say about that."The defense, just as it did when Talib was injured in the AFC title game a year ago, could not recover and Peyton Manning started picking it apart. Talib suffered a knee injury on a collision with Welker as he attempted to cover Demaryius Thomas on a crossing pattern early in the second quarter. Talib did not return to the game. After the game, Welker was asked about the play and said, “I think he was thinking the same thing and wanted to come underneath and we just kind of collided. … It wasn’t a deal where I was trying to hit him or anything like that.” Belichick's relationship with Welker dissipated toward the end of the receiver's six-year run with the Patriots, and the slot machine signed a two-year deal with the Broncos last offseason. They shared a very brief exchange after yesterday's game, though Welker did hug Robert Kraft during pregame warmups. It was obvious today Belichick didn't take too kindly to Welker when he only referred to him as "the receiver." Another point that shouldn't be lost: Belichick went all-out to defend Talib, who has become an in-house favorite in his season and a half with the Patriots, and the cornerback will be a free agent again this offseason. But that's for another time. For today, Belichick didn't pull any punches while publicly admonishing one of the most productive players of his coaching career.

NEW Little Things One Direction’s At iHeart Radio Album Release Party


Friday afternoon (Nov. 22), One Direction celebrated the release of "Midnight Memories" with a show at L.A.’s new iHeartRadio venue. Shortly after 2 p.m., the British-Irish pop stars appeared in front of a sea of screaming female fans and a handful of their parental chaperones. The band treated the audience to a Q&A session moderated by Ryan Seacrest and fielded questions from a few lucky fans. They also performed several tracks off their forthcoming release including “Best Song Ever,” “Story of My Life” and the title track, in addition to hits like “What Makes You Beautiful.”Contest winners queued up in rather English drizzly weather for hours to see Britain's sweethearts, screaming before the doors even cracked open at 1:30 p.m.; by the time fans were allowed inside, their excitement had reached a fever pitch, with even an onstage sighting of Niall Horan's guitar tech setting off a fresh wave of eardrum-shattering screams throughout the crowd. And when the actual 1D boys finally hit the stage at 2, the shrieking practically grew loud enough to entirely drown out the group's six numbers and between-song Q&A with host Ryan Seacrest.Also during the performance, fans were treated to clips of the band’s unreleased ultimate fan edition of their documentary "This is Us," which will be available on DVD and blu ray Dec. 17. The iHeartRadio One Direction CD release party will stream on Nov. 25 at 9pm ET on Yahoo Screen and will also be televised on The CW on Dec. 9 at 9 p.m. ET.

Alex Ariza Kicked by Alex Ariza BRANDON RIOS CAMP Video


Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach, Brandon Rios' trainer Robert Garcia, and former Pacquiao and current Rios strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza were reportedly involved in a physical scuffle tonight in Macao.In fact, Ariza booted Roach in the chest in the midst of a heated verbal exchange between the two camps, one that apparently erupted when there was a dispute over whose turn it was to use the facility."I got struck by Alex Ariza. He kicked me in the chest," added Roach, who intimated that the race card was being used because he's Caucasian."Is that [the racist accusations] coz I'm a white guy?" Roach added. "You make the race issue such a big deal. That was way after the fact."Roach added that it was Robert Garcia, Brandon Rios' trainer who started the altercation.Pacquiao has lost his last two fights - to Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez - however he is determined to prove that his career is not over. "I'm excited because I haven't fought since last year," he said. "I feel like I'm excited, hungry to fight again; to prove that I can still fight. It's been a while I didn't fight." Rios, though, believes that he is in the perfect shape to inflict a third successive defeat on Pacquiao, who has won world titles at eight different weights.Clearly the trouble has been brewing for some time between Roach, Garcia and Ariza, and it was only a matter of time before things hit a reckoning point. This isn't the case of somebody manufacturing a feud in order to increase the pay-per-view buys. Roach doesn't like Garcia, and he doesn't like Ariza. The feeling is mutual from the other side. This real-life drama does add another dimension to what seems like an otherwise uninspiring fight.

Lion Kills Lioness In Attack At Dallas Zoo


A male lion attacked and killed female lion in their enclosure in front of dozens of horrified onlookers at a Texas zoo Sunday. Visitors at the Dallas Zoo said they thought the pair was merely roughhousing before blood started pouring from the 5-year-old lioness' Johari's neck.The attack took place around 2:15 p.m. Sunday in the zoo's Giants of the Savanna exhibit, which is home to two lions and three lionesses, all of whom were raised in captivity. Seemingly unprovoked, a 5-year-old male bit Johari on the neck. The other male lion joined in on the attack as stunned zoo-goers looked on. Before workers could intervene, the lioness was dead.Many visitors did not realize the lioness was being attacked by a member of the pride, who casually used its jaws to grab the lioness by the throat."Everyone thought they were playing at first but then they could see that she was struggling," Jim Harvey, who witnessed the killing, told WFAA. The lioness, nicknamed Jo-Jo, recently celebrated her fifth birthday. Nearly 100 guests sang "Happy Birthday" to her while she enjoyed a frozen cake, the zoo said.

Georges St-Pierre vs johny Hendricks UFC 167 WELTERWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT


Tonight (Sat., Nov. 16, 2013) Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre will put his belt on the line in a long-awaited showdown with Johny Hendricks in the pay-per-view (PPV) main event of UFC 167 from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. "GSP" is one of the most polarizing stars in all of mixed martial arts (MMA). On one hand, he is arguably the company's biggest draw and most likeable champion. On the other hand, he has a ton of critics who deem his strategic style of fighting boring.It's been so long since anyone other than GSP stood atop that Welterweight division that it feels off to even contemplate a St-Pierre loss. Still, Chris Weidman showed us that even the "invincible" champions can fall. For Hendricks to have a Weidman-esque upset win, he'll need to give GSP the fight of his life and use that huge left hand. If he doesn't, look for the champion to do what he does best: grind his opponent into defeat.UFC 167 is set, and the long-time UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is ready to defend his title one more time. This time it will be No. 1-ranked contender Johny Hendricks looking to dethrone the champion.

Steven Stamkos Leg Injury


Tampa Bay Lightning star center Steven Stamkos is out indefinitely after suffering a broken tibia in his right leg Monday against the Boston Bruins.The Lightning confirmed the injury on their official Twitter account, just hours after Stamkos was taken off the ice on a stretcher. Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman announced later Monday that the 23-year-old Stamkos, the NHL's co-leader in goals and points, will undergo surgery.

"The procedure is expected to take place tomorrow morning.Teammate Martin St. Louis didn't know how bad it was when the locker room opened after the game. "He's a big part of our team, but we don't know the severity of it, so we're going to wait and hear," he said. "Obviously he's a big part of our team." The team's leading scorer and one of the top players in the league, Stamkos was backchecking on a play late in the second period Monday when he got tied up with Boston defenseman Dougie Hamilton. The pair went into the net hard. Stamkos immediately grabbed his right leg and was rolling on the ice in pain.Stamkos immediately grabbed his right leg and was rolling on the ice in pain.

Miley Cyrus Smoking A Joint At MTV EMA 2013 Video


The singer lit a hand-rolled cigarette as she accepted her best video award for Wrecking Ball at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam - where smoking marijuana is tolerated. The drug is not legal in the Netherlands, but smokers can not be prosecuted for possession of small amounts and it is sold openly in cafes known as "coffee shops".Cyrus, who long ago shed her image of innocence as the child star of Hannah Montana, has made no secret of her appreciation of Amsterdam's attractions, arriving the Friday before the show and hanging out at the Greenhouse coffee shop downtown with several other stars. She also wore marijuana leaf emblems in her earphones during a live rendition of Wrecking Ball against the backdrop of a giant video screen of herself crying.The EMAs traditionally focus on global, rather than U.S. pop music acts, though there's a lot of overlap: winners included Bruno Mars, who grabbed Best Song for "Locked Out of Heaven," and Eminem both in the Best Hip Hop and Global Icon category. The "intergalactic"-themed show is scheduled to be rebroadcast in the U.S. later Sunday. Another notable winner was Katy Perry for Best Female Artist. Perry, apparently caught by surprise at her win, spit out a sip of champagne and took the stage to thank her fans.Cyrus isn't shy about her love of marijuana. In September she told Rolling Stone, "I think weed is the best drug on earth," and since she's been in Amsterdam for the EMAs, she's reportedly been hitting up the city's famous coffee shops that allow patrons to enjoy all the weed they want. Though it's sold openly in cafes, marijuana still isn't legal in the Netherlands, however smokers in possession of less than five grams of canabis have no fear of prosecution, according to the Associated Press.

Super Typhoon Haiyan, Strongest Storm Hits Philippines 2013


Super Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever observed, made landfall Friday morning in the Philippines, the country's weather service reported. Thousands of people in vulnerable areas of the central Philippines were evacuated as the monster storm spun toward the country. With sustained winds of 315 kph (195 mph) and gusts as strong as 380 kph (235 mph), Haiyan churned across the Western Pacific into the Philippines. Its wind strength makes it equivalent to an exceptionally strong Category 5 hurricane. Haiyan will move over the many islands of the central Philippines over the next 18 hours before exiting into the South China Sea overnight Friday into Saturday. Haiyan will weaken slightly as the storm crosses land, but forecasters with the Philippine weather agency, Pagasa, predict that it will maintain super typhoon intensity throughout its passage of the islands.The U.S. Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center forecasts that Haiyan will cross the Central Philippines as a Category 4 or 5 Super Typhoon, and then re-emerge over open water, before making landfall in Vietnam as a Category 3 typhoon on November 10. Ryan Maue, a meteorologist at WeatherBELL Analytics, said that Haiyan appears to be the strongest storm since Super Typhoon Tip in 1979. Maue said the storm has avoided the typical hiccups that other intense storms encounter, such as eyewall replacement cycles, during which a storm's inner core undergoes a reorganization. Such cycles can cause a Category 5 storm to weaken to a Category 3 or 4 storm, before re-strengthening. Instead of doing this, though, Haiyan has remained at peak strength for more than 24 hours, which is unusual, and even strengthened on Monday morning. After hitting the Leyte province, the Philippines’ Department of Science and Technology expects the storm to traverse the central Philippines from Biliran to Busuanga before passing into the West Philippine Sea. The Department is warning coastal residents to expect storm surges “which may reach up to 7-meter (23 feet) wave height,” along with flooding and mudslides.It’s nearly inconceivable that any weather station would survive such conditions for very long to verify, so we may never know exactly how strong this storm currently is. There have only been a handful of storms anywhere on Earth (pdf) that have reached this estimated intensity—and only three since 1969. Such strong storms usually remain out at sea where wind speed verification is impossible without aircraft. + The storm’s wind speed at landfall tops the last world record holder, the Atlantic’s Hurricane Camille, which hit Mississippi in 1969 with 190 mph winds. + That’s certainly foreboding enough, but the humanitarian disaster that may unfold could be immense. The latest forecast track by the JTWC shows Haiyan passing very near Tacloban, a city of a quarter million people, and Cebu, a city of nearly one million people.

Taylor Swift Live Performance Sings ' RED ' 2013 CMA Awards

Now that makes more sense,” she corrected. Swift took the stage to accept the award from a stage full of country super stars, including Urban, McGraw, Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts, and George Strait. “My parents are not just crying, they are actually bawling at this point,” she said before continuing to thank the awards committee and her fans.
