DJ admitted Dodson was the only fighter who irked him in his 14 year-long MMA career:...
Africa’s other surviving despots are raptly watching the struggle. As the continent’s most populous and influential country, Nigeria sets an example for the region’s other states. “They may well feel there is no need to democratize if Nigeria doesn’t do it,” warns Anthony Kirk-Greene, an Africa specialist at Oxford University. To head off a grass-roots rebellion, Babangida has begun jailing dissenters. So far, most Nigerians have reacted to the crackdown by carrying on with their daily lives....
Adams made the statement Tuesday during a call-in with WABC’s “Sid and Friends in the Morning” radio show when asked about the migrant crisis by host Sid Rosenberg.

The poll, which was conducted between January 12 and January 16, asked 1,538 U.S. respondents: “Who would you rather see as the Democratic nominee in 2024: Joe Biden or someone else?” Thirty-eight percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents said that they will vote for Biden, while 39 percent said that they will vote for “someone else” and 23 percent are “not sure.” The survey’s margin of error is approximately 2....
My statement is that defunding the police in any real sense of that term is one of the worst ideas in the discourse right now. This is not a new idea. We saw this attempted during the 1960s and we saw the Ferguson-effect police pullback in 2014/2015. In practice, crime has surged literally every time it has been tried in the past, and this is why 80 percent to 90 percent of black people oppose police defunding....

NEWSWEEK: Why did China decide to go ahead with this antisatellite test? Lin Chong-Pin: This didn’t happen overnight. I remember in the late ’80s they were talking about “occupying the heights” in the future, which meant space … The technology has reached a stage at which it now can be tested. How much of an impact would China’s antisatellite capability have on a Taiwan Strait conflict? The very obvious implication is that a replay of the 1996 scenario would be questionable....
It’s 21 mm thick and weighs 1.63 kg, which is at the top of Intel’s Ultrabook guidelines, but it’s rock-solid – the Sony VAIO Pro 13 is smaller, but flimsy too. Dell says the Latitude 14 has a “tri-metal chassis”, with aluminium and soft-touch material on the outside, and only the MacBook Air feels stronger than this machine. See all high-end laptop reviews. The silver lid contrasts well with the darker interior, and the bezel and base are protected with powder-coated aluminium....
Southgate has told his 23-man squad who will get the nod from kick-off in Volgograd but has not made his XI public. A jovial Delph refused to give the game away at a Saturday news conference in Repino, even feigning mock surprise over the widespread reports he has not made the cut. “I do know the team, but he says I’m not allowed to tell you,” said the Manchester City utility man, who is expected to see his two most likely routes into the side taken by Jordan Henderson at the base of the midfield and Ashley Young at left wing-back....

Deltarune’s second chapter continues the adventures of Kris, Susie, and Ralsei, exploring a new Dark World known as “Cyber World,” ruled by a mysterious and hilarious new nemesis named “Queen.” Battle mechanics of the game are expanded upon and the story and humor feels much like its predecessor, Undertale. This comes complete with witty dialogue, incredibly charming characters, and Toby Fox’s signature catchy score. Due to the long wait, combined with how big of a fanbase that both games have and this being the first time Deltarune has been brought to Steam, it’s no surprise that Undertale’s peak player count has been surpassed....
No one who got a new deal has looked more worthy than the Raptors guard. DeRozan is averaging 35 points per game through his team’s first three games, including a 33-point effort in Toronto’s 105-102 victory over the Nuggets on Monday night. He’s also scoring very efficiently, making his five-year, $139 million contract look pretty solid so far.

Former councilman Gil Cedillo became embroiled in controversy when the Los Angeles Times obtained a taped conversation from October 2021, in which former City Council President Nury Martinez made racially disparaging remarks against Black people and Oaxacan immigrants living in Los Angeles. Cedillo, as well as Councilman Kevin de León and Los Angeles County Federation of Labor Head Ron Herrera, were also involved in the conversation.

Newsweek previously reported that Democrats had spent at least $43,885,000 in six states to boost far-right election deniers who were running against more moderate Republicans. Of the GOP candidates that Democrats funneled money toward, more than half won their primaries and will be on the ballot Tuesday. All six of those candidates are also projected to lose their races.
