The inaugural inductees were veterans of UFC 1, Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock, who both received their awards inside the Octagon at UFC 45 on November 21, 2003. Since then, the UFC Hall of Fame has been a (near) annual tradition and as of 2018 features 19 fighters such as Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell and Ronda Rousey and four fights, including the legendary bout between Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar in the Ultimate Fighter 1 finale back in April 2005....

Her car was full of presents at the time of the incident Following the shooting, the woman, who has not been identified, was taken to a hospital where she and the fetus were pronounced dead. “I mean, the person that did this couldn’t be more cowardly,” said Christine Coulter, the deputy commissioner of the Philadelphia Police Department, per WPVI....

Simply put, all the world-class players promptly moved on to other teams or retired, leaving a motley-crew of young players, languishing reserves and over-the-hill veterans. Six years on from Ferguson’s retirement and after hundreds of millions of pounds invested in the squad, United are yet to genuinely improve. Their dismal performances in the Premier League over the past few years show just that. Gone are the days when Manchester United were feared, respected and footballing titans, as they were under Sir Alex Ferguson....

Spurs took the lead in the first half through a nice finish from Dele Alli, and then doubled it in the second, again through Alli, who showed some tremendous skill to control a long ball from Toby Alderweireld before clipping it over Aaron Ramsdale and into the net. Moussa Sissoko’s volley appeared to have sealed the points in comfortable fashion for Tottenham, but a free-kick from Harry Wilson brought Bournemouth back into the game, and the Welsh youngster then added a second for the Cherries, who pushed hard for an equaliser that never came....

Matchday one proved to be exciting, thrilling and, of course, controversial as Liverpool struggled to a hard-fought draw with Fulham, Manchester City bested West Ham United and Chelsea won away to Everton. Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur got off to a winning start at home to Southampton, while Manchester United boss Erik ten Haag suffered a losing start to his reign at Old Trafford on a difficult afternoon against Brighton & Hove Albion....

Pranjala Yadlapalli led fourth seeded Melanie Klaffner 6-7(5), 6-3, 3-1 when the Austrian conceded the match due to illness. Three other Indians - fifth seeded Ankita Raina, Rishika Sunkara and Sneha Devi Reddy - also entered the second round in the singles category at the EMMTC school of tennis courts. Delhi girl and current national champion Bhambri, who made it to the second round at this level after nearly two years, pulled off the biggest win of the event upsetting third seeded and 289th ranked Ayaka Okuno, ranked 125 places above her....

These were the words uttered by President Joe Biden last year as part of his statement on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day—April 24—which commemorates the deportation of Armenian intellectuals from Constantinople and marked the beginning of the first genocide of the 20th century. By officially acknowledging the Armenian genocide, President Biden fulfilled his campaign promise to hold Turkey responsible for its role in the mass killings of more than 1.5 million Armenians alongside Assyrians and Greeks during the last days of the Ottoman Empire....

“I made it clear to President Putin that if he makes any more moves and goes into Ukraine, we will have severe sanctions. We will increase our presence in Europe with our NATO allies, and it will have to be a heavy price to pay for it,” Biden told reporters on Friday. Biden made his comment after reporters asked about his Thursday phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. During the 50-minute call, the two presidents mostly discussed de-escalation in Ukraine and U....

Pondering Prophecy As a freelance editor now working on a book about prophecy, I read with interest your recent cover story on the same topic (“The Way the World Ends,” Society & The Arts, Nov. 15). Before I began reading, I wondered how the “secular media” would treat prophecy, especially in such a popular venue. In short, I am impressed. (I can’t say I’m surprised, because I’m a big NEWSWEEK fan....

Weight gain is a common side effect of prednisone. That may be welcome if you’re underweight because of your medical condition. But if you’re at a healthy weight or you’re already overweight, it’s likely unwelcome. This article looks at why prednisone causes weight gain, how you can limit the amount you gain, and how to lose it once you’re off of prednisone or on a lower dosage. Why Is Prednisone Used?...

Angler April Jones had been fishing off the coast of Alabama with her husband and son when the 5 foot, 400 pound spotted eagle ray leapt aboard. Spotted stingrays can measure, on average, 11 feet. They are one of the largest eagle ray species in the ocean. The species is near threatened, and a rare occurrence in Alabama waters. It is not the first time one has been observed flying out of the ocean—the species may do this to escape a predator....

The incident occurred in a franchise of the fried seafood restaurant in Evansville, Indiana, about 4:20 p.m. Jan. 2, according to police. Witnesses told police that a driver, a Black woman of unknown age, took a Red Toyota Camry into the restaurant’s drive-thru and tried to order one hush puppy, according to a report from the Evansville Police Department. The woman was upset to find out that the restaurant only sells hush puppies in orders of two....

While PMDD may appear as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) to others and some symptoms of each condition are similar in nature, those associated with PMDD are much more severe and debilitating than those of PMS. It can be difficult to distinguish which symptoms are typical of PMS, however. This makes talking to others important. If you do not know any other women experiencing symptoms as extreme and debilitating as yours are, it will be helpful to speak to a healthcare provider, who can identify which symptoms are typical of a monthly cycle and which require further intervention....

Championship clubs will have access to a £200m ($269 million) pool of interest-free loan funds, while a £50 million ($67 million) grant will be made available for those in League One and Two. Loans to second-tier clubs will be capped at £8.33 million ($11.2 million) and would have to be repaid by June 2024. “The Premier League is a huge supporter of the football pyramid and is well aware of the important role clubs play in their communities....

Three months on since beating Tottenham Hotspur to win the Champions League, the Reds defeated Chelsea on penalties in the European Super Cup final. Adrian was the unlikely hero, saving Tammy Abraham’s penalty as Liverpool prevailed 5-4 in the shootout. The Spaniard joined Liverpool last week and only started against Chelsea because of a calf injury that sidelined first-choice goalkeeper Alisson. So far, the 32-year-old has looked like an accomplished understudy to Alisson and Jurgen Klopp will hope the Brazilian’s absence won’t be sorely felt....

What Did President Biden Declare With His Executive Order? You can see the full order on the White House website. If you do decide to read it all, note that not all of it will relate to technology. That’s because the order aims to promote healthy business competition in the US across all economies, not just tech. Some changes are new, while others are reversing what the previous government established. For instance, in 2017, the government successfully repealed net neutrality, thus allowing ISPs to prioritize certain traffic....

A global semiconductor shortage is hampering important hardware production, most notably affecting the production of new gaming consoles like the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 and new CPUs, smartphones, and more. President Biden Wants to Know About Semiconductors The executive order directs the government to initiate a 100-day investigation and review into the supply chains of four key product types, including semiconductors and large batteries. Moreover, the review will consider the US’s dependency on China and other countries to import and provision vital products, many of which are not produced on US soil....
