UFC 184: Ronda Rousey defeats Cat Zingano in just 14 seconds

Cat Zingano was going to be the biggest threat Ronda Rousey has ever faced, they said. She's undefeated, she has an reservoir of willpower, and she'll push Rousey like she's never pushed before. Instead, Zingano became the fastest victim of Rousey's magnificent career.UFC 184, from Staples Center in Los Angeles, was all about the females for the first time ever. In co-main events, bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey faced undefeated challenger Cat Zingano, and UFC newcomer Holly Holm took on Raquel Pennington. As expected, the women did not disappoint, especially Rousey, who broke a UFC record by defeating her opponent in 14 seconds with her trademark armbar after Zingano came out charging. Zingano comes flying in with a knee and looks for a takedown but Rousey reverses her beautifully into top position and grabs an armbar from an awkward angle for the submission in just seconds. Another electric performance by the champion.

Madonna Crashes And Burns during Brit Awards Performance 2015

Tonight in London, Madonna put her love to the test at the BRIT Awards. Her love failed, or at least her legs did.The 56-year-old singer was standing on a staircase leading to the stage, but because of an apparent costume malfunction with her cape, she was forcefully pulled to the ground. Like a true professional, Madonna continued on and finished the song to close the show.Performing her new single Living For Love and surrounded by dancers, Madonna was shrouded in a cape which, once unfastened, was to be removed by one of the dancers. But as Madonna fumbled with the lacing around her neck, one of the dancers yanked on it while it was still attached. Instead of the planned revelation of Madonna's costume, the malfunction resulted in Madge being yanked backwards and her tumbling down a staircase on the stage.We hope Madonna is okay! Right after the fall, she got back up and danced like a total pro.

Coach Rajon Rondo and Dallas Coach Rick Carlisle Have Heated Exchange

DALLAS -- Point guard Rajon Rondo did not play the final 20-plus minutes of the Dallas Mavericks' 99-92 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night, after a profanity-laced shouting match with coach Rick Carlisle over play-calling responsibilities. The incident occurred with 8:10 remaining in the third quarter, when Carlisle stormed out on the American Airlines Center court to call a timeout and shouted at Rondo, who appeared to be ignoring a play call from the bench as he brought the ball up the floor.Rondo responded by shouting back at Carlisle. They exchanged heated words for much of the timeout, with assistant coach Jamahl Mosley at one point stepping in front of Rondo to prevent the point guard and coach from getting in each other's faces.Here's what happened. With 8:22 left in the third quarter, Carlisle and Rondo had some sort of dispute. It appeared Carlisle wanted a timeout called, something Rondo ignored, leading to Carlisle calling it himself. As he came to the bench, Carlisle exchanged heated words with Rondo and took him out of the game. He did not return.Carlisle had the highly publicized benching of Rajon Rondo in January. In a podcast around the trade, Grantland's Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe said they heard whispers that Carlisle may not have been totally sold on the trade when it happened. This is unconfirmed and clearly Carlisle signed off on the trade in some form, but it's interesting in this context.After the timeout, Carlisle inserted Devin Harris for Rondo, who remained sidelined for the duration of the game. He finished with four points (on 2-for-6 shooting), four assists and two rebounds in 18 minutes. “It’s just a coach’s decision," Carlisle said of Rondo's departure. "We’ve talked about these before. I thought it worked out well. The other guys stepped up and we were able to win the game.”This isn’t the first time Carlisle benched Rondo, who was acquired in a mid-season trade with the Celtics. It’s not too surprising Rondo and Carlisle, both of whom can be difficult, have crossed each other. But, now, it’s up to both to move past what could go down as a minor incident. That should be easier to do with the Mavericks winning. Arguments almost always resolve themselves more quickly after victories.

JOHN LEGEND AND COMMON Glory Performance Oscars 2015 87th Academy Awards

John Legend and Common performed “Glory” from Selma at the 87th Academy Awards on Sunday, February 22, 2015. Another stunning performance at the Oscars. Two weeks after the song closed the Grammys, the rapper and the singer performed their song at the Academy Awards, where it was nominated for Best Original Song. After the pair’s performance, which featured a chorus marching behind Common and Legend and practically into the audience, several audience members (including Selma star David Oyelowo and Chris Pine) were visibly in tears.The song itself is a soaring marvel, flying on the wings of John Legends's vocals. But there's also a brutal, brilliant strength to it with Common's rapping. There's an added level of emotion to this performance. Selma, the movie in which "Glory" appears, was left out of the Best Director and Best Actor categories — a reminder that the Oscars still perpetually struggle with diversity.The anthem about racial injustice -- which touches on everything from the civil rights movement of the 1960s to the recent events in Ferguson, Missouri -- won Best Original Song shortly after the performance. Other nominees in the category include "Grateful" by Diane Warren for "Beyond the Lights"; "Everything Is Awesome" by Shawn Patterson for "The Lego Movie"; "I'm Not Gonna Miss You," by Glenn Campbell and Julian Raymond for "I'll Be Me"; and "Lost Stars" by Danielle Brisebois and Gregg Alexander for "Begin Again."

Frank Mir knocks out Bigfoot Silva in 1st Round in 100 seconds

The UFC returns to Brazil for a rare Sunday fight card featuring a headlining heavyweight fight between Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva and former champion Frank Mir.Mir wasn't ready to quit, however. He felt he wasn't training properly and wanted to give himself one last chance. In addition to preparing better, Mir worked long hours on his boxing with Angelo Reyes.Mir needed only 100 seconds to dispose of Silva Sunday in the main event of a UFC card in Porto Alegre, Brazil, looking very much like the man who once was an elite contender. Mir, who came out in a right-handed stance after boxing as a southpaw for years, also showed a new punch. Mir was never much of a jabber, but it was his jab which set everything up. He landed a couple of good shots behind the jab early, and then the jab was the key to the finishing sequence. Mir, who was clearly quicker and more athletic than the ponderous Brazilian, landed a hard jab followed by a quick left hook. The left hook dumped Silva onto his back, and Mir hurriedly finished the job.Frank pounced immediately with several more punches before Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight after Mir plastered Bigfoot with a series of skull-thumping elbows. Official result: Frank Mir def. Antonio Silva via KO (punches and elbows) at 1:40 of round 1. It's the 8th time that Mir has won a UFC fight within the first 2 minutes of the opening round, and his 15th win inside the Octagon in his 14th year with the promotion. As for Bigfoot, he's now been (T)KO'd 5 times since 2011, and was also knocked down in his no contest vs. Mark Hunt in 2013. Now without a win in 4, that may very well be the last we see of him in a UFC cage.

The black and white gown was structured perfectly, with the high-low pleated skirt being the most stunning part of the ensemble. With her lips painted a bright red and a diamond-encrusted snake necklace around her neck, Ora was the picture of perfection. As for the actual music, Ora looked and sounded fittingly grateful, smiling and singing with poise that matched her gown. And all the while, Ora was raised on a pedestal, adding drama to the already lovely performance.

Neil Patrick Harris performs ‘Moving Pictures’ Opening Number 87th Oscars 2015

Neil Patrick Harris opened the 2015 Oscars with a stunning “Moving Pictures” opening number. He was assisted by Anna Kendrick and Jack Black. This was NPH’s first time to host the Academy Award.Harris got right to business and open the ceremony by poking fun at the Academy for the lack of diversity in tonight's nominees by saying "tonight we honor the best and whitest .. sorry, brightest!" Following a few quick jokes, he broke into a comedic song and dance performance about the magic of moving pictures with the help of "Into the Woods" actress Anna Kendrick and comedian Jack Black.Then things got even crazier when Jack Black joined in to perform a spoken-word number from Into the Woods (done in the film by Meryl Streep). Of course, the lyrics were changed to be just a bit more Tenacious D. "Who will get her statue, the results are coming at you, at the 87th Oscars moving picture show" Harris memorably concluded the number.

Kyle Busch Injured Huge Crash Nascar 2015 Daytona Xfinity

NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was involved in what appeared to be a serious accident at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday.Busch sustained a right lower leg compound fracture and left mid-foot fracture in the crash with eight laps remaining Saturday at Daytona International Speedway. Joe Gibbs Racing said he was undergoing surgery on his right leg and is out indefinitely.Busch needed assistance getting out of his car after it slammed into a wall that did not have an energy-absorbing steel-and-foam energy reduction (SAFER) barrier. His right leg was placed in an air cast before he was transported by ambulance to nearby Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach, where he was undergoing surgery Saturday night for a compound fracture of his lower right leg. He also suffered a mid-foot fracture in his left foot.Busch will reportedly miss the Daytona 500 on Sunday with a right leg injury, according to multiple reports. The race will be without either of the Busch brothers for the first time since 2000 as Kurt Busch was suspended indefinitely by NASCAR Friday for acts against his ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll. Daytona International Speedway president Joie Chitwood said the track should have had SAFER barriers on every part of the track and took responsibility for the injury to Busch.

UAE : Massive fire engulfs Dubai 'Torch' residential tower

A massive blaze has engulfed the ‘Marina Torch’ skyscraper in Dubai, forcing hundreds of people to flee the 336-meter-high tower – one of the tallest residential buildings in the world. It took firefighters over two hours to bring the fire under control.The fire initially started in the middle of the tower, rapidly spreading across some 15 floors, intensifying and reigniting with each gust of wind, according to photos and videos from the scene.There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries in the blaze, which was believed to have started around the 52nd floor. The building is part of the densely populated and highrise-filled marina district, popular among Dubai's ex-patriate population.The fire was brought under control around 4 a.m. local time, Gulf Business reported, adding that only a few floors appeared to have been "gutted" by the blaze.Local media reported that upwards of 10 fire engines responded after the blaze broke out near the 50th floor, and that police had blocked off the area and evacuated nearby buildings. Resident Mehdi Ansari told NBC News that the fire had spread to 10 or 15 floors. A witness told Gulf News it was like seeing the Titanic going down."Debris from the fire cluttered nearby streets after the blaze appeared to be extinguished," the Associated Press reported. Frank Strait said due to the height of the building, winds may have been closer to 50 mph. According to the Associated Press, residents in neighboring structure adjacent to the 70-story building were asked to evacuate due to the fierce winds.

Sterling Gibbs ejected for hitting Ryan Arcidiacono

During Monday night's matchup between Seton Hall and Villanova, Pirates guard Sterling Gibbs was ejected for taking a cheap shot at the Wildcats' Ryan Arcidiacono while the two fought for a loose ball.Gibbs was ejected from the game and could face suspension after Big East officials review film of the incident. Willard told reporters he didn't see the play and needed to review film before commenting. Willard acknowledged his team is struggling after its eighth loss in 10 games.Gibbs had played 32 minutes and scored 12 points at the time of his ejection. Arcidiacono scored 10 points, one of five Villanova starters in double figures. Gibbs is probably frustrated that sorry Seton Hall went from looking at an NCAA tourney berth in early January to NIT-bound in mid-February. The Pirates have work to do to get back on the bubble.

UFC Fight Night 60 Benson Henderson def. Brandon Thatch (rear-naked choke) – 4th Round

Benson Henderson long resisted the prospect of one day moving up to the UFC welterweight division, but his first performance at 170 pounds showed his skills are formidable as a heavier fighter. Henderson (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC), an ex-champ in the lightweight division, wore down a dangerous Brandon Thatch (10-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) on the ground and secured a submission victory in the fourth round, less than one month after a disappointing decision loss to top contender Donald Cerrone at 155 pounds. Henderson came out more aggressive than he usually is, battering Thatch's legs with hard kicks and landing two powerful body punches. Thatch walked him down for most of the round and showed off his superior power, scoring with his own kicks, some punches, and a nice flying knee. Henderson didn't attempt a takedown. Thatch got off to a good start in round two, backing Henderson up and peppering him with body kicks. Bendo's hands continued to look impressive, and he was able to keep scoring to the body. But over the second half of the round, Thatch was landing harder shots and even threw Henderson to the mat twice. Emphatically. He wouldn't engage on the ground though, and let him back up.Thatch continued to push forward. Thatch attempted another trip, but Henderson was able to shake it off. Henderson then went for a takedown of his own. Thatch was doing well defending the takedown against the cage, but he got sloppy and Henderson ended up completing the attempt. Henderson easily transitioned to Thatch’s back. Henderson didn’t do much with the position, but he was able to ride out the dominant position and made Thatch work.Henderson was clearly the fresher fighter entering the fourth frame and he was relaxed and confident in his movements around the cage. Thatch, meanwhile, was left reaching as he tried to chase down the much quicker fighter. Henderson’s early body work was paying off. Henderson landed a perfectly timed takedown midway through the round. Henderson quickly took Thatch’s back and began working for a submission. Henderson was overwhelming Thatch on the mat. Henderson eventually got his arm under Thatch’s neck and forced the tap.

Rihanna, Kanye West And Paul McCartney Perform ‘FourFiveSeconds’ 57th Annual Grammy Awards

Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney performed “FourFiveSeconds” at the Grammy Awards 2015. I LOVE THIS. Understated and perfect. Rihanna’s necklace, yes. The collaboration is from Rihanna’s eighth studio album. This was first time the trio performed the song together.Rihanna, Kanye and Paul totally rocked the Staples Center! The unstoppable trio’s voices blended together in a surprisingly beautiful way when they joined forces to perform their upbeat new song.It was clear that Kanye was so excited to be on stage with the legendary Paul McCartney. Yeezy himself has declared that he doesn’t like to smile in pictures — or in life, really — but that definitely didn’t apply to this performance!On stage at the 2015 Grammy Awards, they traded the matching denim from their music video for classy black suits, but otherwise kept the performance focused on the music.Their performance got nearly everyone in the auditorium on their feet. Even West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, who didn’t stand for any other performance, was on her feet, clapping and singing. “Four Five Second,” a tune different than much of the music West and Rihanna usually put out, was released Tuesday. It has more than 17.5 million views on YouTube, which will only probably climb after Sunday’s live Grammy performance.McCartney’s microphone didn’t appear to be working, but he continued to play his guitar. The crowd didn’t seem to mind and applauded the former Beatle anyway. Their three-way collaboration came after a country set by Eric Church and Brandy Clark. It’s a move that seemed to heighten “Four Five Seconds.”
