On Joe Rogan’s podcast Thursday, Tate relayed a story of Rousey delivering a profanity-laced dressing down of UFC fighter Paige VanZant at a recent Reebok event.

Multiple sources, though, have confirmed to TMZ Sports Tate’s account of the confrontation....

‘Useless Pogba was never worth £100m!’ The versatile defender and midfielder had been quoted by The Standard in an alarming story that claimed that two gunmen had made him sign a letter dissolving his deal with the club in Arrows chief executive officer Gordon Masondo’s office. However, the South African side later published on their official website a letter from Miheso to the club’s chairman which insisted that everything was above board and apologised for the story....

Bloomberg, a billionaire businessman who served as New York’s mayor from 2002 to 2013 and previously identified as a Republican, launched his Democratic campaign in late November. Instead of seeking grass-roots support from small donors, his campaign has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on TV ads targeting voters. But the ex-mayor’s record on race has been strongly criticized by activists, who have noted that his signature stop and frisk strategy disproportionately targeted minorities in New York, causing lasting harm to black and brown communities....

’China bound to tempt Messi & Ronaldo’ The Real Madrid forward won the prize for the fourth time on Monday after he received more than double the voting points of Barca superstar Lionel Messi, who came second. Ronaldo described last season as the best of his career after he won the Champions League with Madrid and Euro 2016 with Portugal, having become the Spanish club’s all-time top goalscorer in October 2015....

What is Mardi Gras? Mardi Gras is an originally Christian festivity and is French for ‘Fat Tuesday’ as the celebration originally allowed people to gorge on rich and fatty food before the start of Lent, a 40 day fasting period. Modern day Mardi Gras celebrations have since deviated from their originally religious roots and have become synonymous with carnival, as large parades with elaborately decorated and colorful floats, marching band, street dances, performances, feathered outfits and colored beads have become the image of the annual party in New Orleans....

Already, House Democrats have released the full transcripts of two closed-door sessions with former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch and former senior State Department adviser Michael McKinley. Yovanovitch—ousted by the president under pressure from attorney Rudy Giuliani, among other Trump allies—told the House she was the victim of a smear campaign by Trump’s team, members of which were more concerned with partisan politics than the national interest. Yovanovitch was reportedly an obstacle to the efforts of Trump and his allies to pressure the Ukrainian government into opening an investigation into accusations of corruption against 2020 rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter....

The fight started after Winker was plunked by Angels pitcher Andrew Wantz in what had been a chippy series between the AL West rivals. Mike Trout took exception to a pitch thrown inside at him and later, Wantz threw behind Mariners star rookie Julio Rodriguez. Once Winker was hit, that was the final straw and the benches cleared. The Seattle faithful evidently appreciated Winker standing up for his teammate, even if it did land him a seven-game suspension, which he is currently appealing....

Carlson, whose popularity is owed in part to his inflammatory coverage of identity politics issues, sparked fury among military figures and others last week when he complained that President Joe Biden was presiding over America’s transition to a more “feminine” military. “Pregnant women are going to fight our wars,” Carlson said Tuesday. “While China’s military becomes more masculine as it has assembled the world’s largest navy, our military needs to become—as Joe Biden says—more feminine....

Just before halftime, however, Mariota threw a line drive down the middle of the field that was picked off by the Seminoles’ Nick Andrews at Florida State’s 49-yard line. With 16 seconds left in the half, Jameis Winston got the ‘Noles in position for a 54-yard field-goal try by their esteemed kicker, Roberto Aguayo. Aguayo had only missed twice on the season — and only five times his whole career — but he managed to doink the attempt off the upright....

“I have made a mistake and it’s really bothered me for a couple of weeks now, and so I definitely want to own it,” Greene said outside of Congress on Monday morning. “I wanted to say that I know that words that I’ve stated were hurtful and for that I am very sorry.” “The horrors of the Holocaust are something that some people don’t even believe happened, and some people deny, but there is no comparison to the Holocaust,” she continued....

“Paraphrasing Cokie Roberts, when MTG looks in the mirror she sees a potential president smiling back,” Bannon told NBC News on Wednesday. Roberts is the late political journalist who—once using the hyperbole that politicians have a presidential seal on their “shaving mirrors just so they can get used to it”—said she believed all members of Congress are gunning for the White House. On Wednesday, it was reported that Greene is positioning herself to be former President Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate....

On Wednesday, Rep. Greene (R-GA) made serious allegations about the treatment of those arrested following the riot at the Capitol, who are being held at the District of Columbia jail complex. Appearing on Real America’s Voice, Rep. Greene claimed, without providing evidence, that there was a coordinated effort between departments to punish those who were present at the Capitol riot. She said: “It’s the authoritarian nature of the regime. It’s not just in the White House, it’s not just in Congress, but it’s also in serious, serious places like the Department of Justice, the FBI and even in the jail....

While speaking to Carlson, Greene said she would defend her name and would find ways to fight back against the “progressives” and “leftists” responsible for the lawsuit. Judge Amy Totenberg of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia refused to grant Greene a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order that would have delayed action in the case in a 73-page ruling on Monday. A group of Georgia voters are seeking to have Greene disqualified based on a provision in the 14th Amendment of the U....

“I personally am OK if my channel is gone tomorrow,” Fischbach said. “I personally would be OK with that because I wouldn’t stop as a creative individual, but I feel like a lot of people wouldn’t say the same thing.” Late last year, Fischbach put that idea to the test with the launch of a highly experimental YouTube called Unus Annus. In collaboration with Ethan “CrankGameplays” Nestor-Darling and Amy “Peebles” Nelson, he uploaded 365 daily videos on a wide range of topics, including cooking with sex toys, learning to salsa dance and even a full-fledged mini-documentary about living in the wildnessness....

Richt grabbed an official after a missed holding call and was given a personal foul that set up a Badgers’ touchdown shortly before halftime.
