Playboy's Madisyn Shipman Brought A Friend, Samantha Busch Ready For The Daytona 500 & Zuckerberg's An Alien
There's a new UFC featherweight champion
All attempts on my behalf to start watching the NBA have failed. I told myself the season doesn't start until Christmas, I'll watch it then.
When that didn't happen, I just lost track of it and here we are at NBA All-Star Weekend and I still have almost zero desire to watch. I've managed to catch a few College Basketball games, so it's not basketball as a whole that I've given up on.
Maybe it's the NBA that has given up on what we used to have. It might not be me at all. I miss us and because of that I'm willing to give it another chance. I will watch some NBA games before the playoffs arrive.
What I haven't had any issues watching is the UFC. Now I don't catch every event, but I will sit down and watch it when it comes on.
I caught some of the UFC 298 prelims last night, then had to monitor the situation before the main event came on. Who doesn't love a good title fight?
Ilia Topuria entered the octagon at UFC 298 on Saturday night in Anaheim, California as the undefeated challenger. He left it, still undefeated, as the new UFC featherweight champion.
There was no questionable stoppage or disputable decision either. Topuria knocked Alexander Volkanovski out cold in the second round to take the title.
Volkanovski had been the champion since defeating Max Holloway in December 2019 and successfully defended the title five times. Topuria made sure there wasn't a sixth title defense with this knockout.
After the fight, Topuria, for whatever reason, called out Conor McGregor. He said from inside the octagon "Conor McGregor if you still have some balls, I see you in Spain."
More impressive than Topuria's knockout win might be the fact that McGregor managed to get his name mentioned. He hasn't fought since 2021 and has lost three out of his last four fights.
An Alien sighting at UFC 298
I can't talk about UFC 298 without mentioning the alien that was spotted in attendance. The alien's name is Mark Zuckerberg, and he's the CEO of Facebook.
Not only was he in attendance, he was in Volkanovski's corner for the fight and had a laugh out loud "I'm definitely not an alien" moment before the former champ stepped into the octagon.
Way to blend in there, Zuckerberg, just like a real person. Nobody would ever suspect a thing. That was completely normal.
A UFO in Las Vegas
Speaking of aliens, there was a new UFO sighting in Las Vegas last month. A weird shape in the sky followed by multiple jets, according to the person who took the video.
The video has more than a million views and, therefore, is definitely a UFO. The witness said of the object flying across the Nevada sky, "I was driving on the freeway when I noticed an object in the sky looked like it was falling."
"I took out my camera, zoomed in on the object, and noticed it had an oval shape to it. Also I seen multiple jets flying towards it."
Good enough for me. I'm all in. Let's get this alien party/probable war started. Why not? This is going to be a nutty year anyway. We might as well have some aliens join the fun.
If you happen to catch some UFO footage, or just run across a video of a shape floating in the sky that may or may not have a military jet escort, send it my way.
That's all I have on this fine Sunday morning. Don't forget the NBA All-Star game is on tonight. I can almost guarantee that I won't be watching, but I will be thinking about it.
