Since his win, however, Gaethje has been the subject to a provocation from former UFC Lightweight Champion, Conor McGregor, who also took shots at Khabib Nurmagomedov in the process. Another one of McGregor’s arch-rival in the form of Nate Diaz has now decided to get himself involved in the debacle, calling out both McGregor and Nurmagomedov in his latest string of tweets. Nate Diaz calls out ‘gurls’ Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov are undoubtedly two of UFC’s biggest rivals in the modern generation....

This ends the mandate extended through to May 3 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), meaning that wearing masks on such transportation will now be optional rather than mandatory. While the move to void the mandate by Trump-appointed Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle has been actioned by many airlines, like United Airlines and Delta, as well as being celebrated by some who deemed masks unnecessary on public transport, many experts, including virologists and epidemiologists, are less positive....

In a post on his Instagram account, Nathan Fillion let the world know that he’s actually playing a Warlock in Destiny 2, and not a Hunter as most would have likely assumed based on his persona. While it’s unknown which subclass he prefers based on the cropped screenshot of his Exo Warlock, Fillion does have the Skull of Dire Ahamkara equipped which may provide a hint. This exotic helm is a Voidwalker specific item, as it provides additional damage resistance and grants bonus super energy from Nova Bomb kills....

Even when they were standing on that stage last December in Charlotte, all smiles and accepting the ACC Championship trophy, they still weren’t the Florida State of old. They knew it, and so did everyone else. “We weren’t who we wanted to be,” FSU wideout Rashad Greene said this spring. They are now. These are your ‘Noles of old, ladies and gentlemen. Big and bad and pumped and poised and stomping all over this big moment of the college football season....

Reported to be paid for by the Biden family, details leading up to the wedding were closely guarded and a requested press blackout from the couple meant that the world waited until a picture and a statement from the White House was released. In the statement, President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden said: “It has been a joy to watch Naomi grow, discover who she is, and carve out such an incredible life for herself,” before adding, “Now, we are filled with pride to see her choose Peter as her husband and we’re honored to welcome him to our family....

Her supermodel daughter announced the arrival of her first child, a baby girl, in an Instagram statement on Tuesday, with a snap of her daughter’s feet in her hands. Morris-Campbell shared her joy in a separate Instagram post with the same image, captioned: “Congratulations to my daughter Naomi on the birth of her daughter, I’m beyond thrilled as I’ve waited a longtime to be grandmother. @naomi #proud #mother #grandmother #love #family....

The astronauts, Nick Hague and Andrew Morgan, are both flight engineers for the Expedition 60 mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS)—which is jointly operated by NASA and the Russian, European, Japanese and Canadian space agencies. The main aim of the spacewalk is to install a special piece of equipment known as the International Docking Adapter-3 (IDA-3,) which is designed to provide a second docking port to the space station....

As its name suggests, the Parker Solar Probe, which was launched in August 2018, is not primarily built to study Venus. The instruments on board are designed to observe the sun as the probe circles close to Earth’s nearest star, peering into its fiery depths. NASA said in 2021 that the probe got close enough to touch the star’s atmosphere. In the past couple of years, the probe has also proven useful for observing Venus with its on-board Wide-Field Imager for Parker Solar Probe (WISPR) camera....

Typically at Darlington, once the opening laps are run and the tires starts to wear, it gets increasingly difficult for drivers to keep up with the sharply progressive loss of grip. Not only is Darlington Raceway’s surface extremely taxing on tires, the egg-shaped layout of the track makes it a challenge to set-up the car, with drivers having to settle for a compromise that works at both ends of the circuit....

Last time the series was at the “Paperclip” Denny Hamlin wrecked Chase Elliott from the lead with just three laps remaining. Elliott slammed Hamlin into the Turn 3 wall on the cool-down lap, and the two exchanged words after exiting their cars. This time around there was no retaliation from Elliott, but Hamlin managed to tangle with Kevin Harvick during Monday’s snow-delayed STP 500. Trying to make his way back to the front after winning Stage 1, Hamlin tapped Harvick multiple times in the rear bumper at the half-mile track....

However, if Kyle Busch has proved anything in his illustrious NASCAR career it’s he can win anywhere, and he will for his second straight win after taking home the checkered flag at the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday. Busch also claimed victory at Pocono in July, so he not only carries momentum from this season into the race, but he has historical success at the track. At the same time, Kevin Harvick will look to get back on the winning track after coming in last in Charlotte....

One of the best handicapping strategies for Richmond races is to see what happened in the most recent races at Phoenix or New Hampshire. Although Richmond’s three-quarter-mile layout is considered a short track, it is most comparable to the two one-mile flat tracks. If it’s good enough for crew chiefs to use similar setups, and sometimes even the same chassis, it should be good enough for bettors to follow....

Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers were able to get on the track briefly before rainy conditions ended the practice session for good.

A wreck with three laps to go forced overtime, and teams were faced with crucial decisions regarding fuel. It wound up being Kurt Busch’s downfall, as he ran out of fuel on the final lap to allow Almriola to pass him and claim the victory. Busch ended up finishing 14th after leading 108 laps on the day — the most by any driver. MORE: Watch NASCAR at Talladega with fuboTV (7-day free trial)...

NASCAR vice chairman Jim France joined ARCA president Ron Drager, Marcum’s grandson, at Talladega Superspeedway on Friday to formalize the agreement. “Our NASCAR family has long had a special connection with our friends at ARCA, and this is a logical step in demonstrating our commitment to the next generation of racers,’’ France said. Much of the future between the two series is possible because of their lengthy and successful past relationship....

Truex was penalized on Lap 196 after making the pass on pit road during Saturday’s Sprint Cup Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway. He exited pit road in the lead prior to the penalty, then dropped to 22nd in the field and fought his way back to the front before joining a group of drivers pitting for gas late in the race. He went on to finish 10th and questioned the call in his post-race comments....

Instead of having cars roll through pre-race inspection multiple times until they pass through the laser inspection platform, teams will have two attempts to pass. Should they fail, a 15-minute penalty will be applied during their next scheduled practice. It would not be imposed as part of a qualifying session. Pre-qualifying inspection became a tedious process as teams adapted to the 2015 rules package that decreased horsepower by approximately 125 and a decreased downforce by about 300 pounds....

On-track qualifying is a rarity this season as NASCAR tries to limit the amount of time teams spend at the track amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Only eight races total are scheduled to have practice and qualifying in 2021; Charlotte was No. 4, joining Daytona (for the Daytona 500), Bristol’s dirt track and Circuit of the Americas. The remaining sessions will be for new tracks on the schedule (Nashville, Road America and Indianapolis’ road course) and the season-ending Championship 4 race at Phoenix....

Chase Elliott’s win in the Go Bowling 235 sent him up to fourth place in points and cut into the playoff safety of Kyle Busch and Matt DiBenedetto. It also marked another race without a victory for Jimmie Johnson or Erik Jones, leaving both drivers on the wrong side of the postseason bubble.
