Former UFC fighter blasts Elon Musk's X policies

Ex-UFC fighter Jake Shields finds Elon Musk's new policies for X to hinder true freedom of speech. He called out the Tesla and SpaceX chief for going against his previous statements about censorship and content reach accessibility.

The UFC veteran slammed Musk for his recent comments about alleged grooming gangs in the UK.

Shields also called Musk out for banning his podcast manager on the platform, claiming that the new X regime was allowing even less "free speech" than former CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey.

Joe Rogan reacts to Tesla Cybertruck bombing

Recent rumors about the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside Donald Trump's hotel in Las Vegas claim that the seeming terror attack was part of an elaborate PSYOP operation.

Various theories on the matter surfaced after U.S. intelligence officer Sam Shoemate said on the Shawn Ryan Show that he received a manifesto-like email before the incident with unverified claims predicting the attack. Joe Rogan reacted to the rumor on X, expressing bewilderment at the chaos:

"There's never been a more interesting time to be confused about almost everything in the news."

Previously, UFC fighter-turned-solder Tim Kennedy also raised questions about the nature of the attack. Kennedy, who had filmed the military TV show Ultimate Soldier Challenge with the suspect Matthew Alan Livelsberger, said it "categorically does not make sense." Latest reports suggest Livelsberg shot himself before blowing up the Cybertruck with him inside.

Umar Nurmagomedov's potential trump card weapon for Merab Dvalishvili

Henry Cejudo, who is managed by Ali Abdelaziz and is close with the Nurmagomedov clan, recently broke down the move that could be the key to Umar Nurmagomedov's potential victory against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 311. 'Triple C' said that while most are expecting the Dagestani to wrestle, he could instead use a Muay Thai technique to seal the deal:

"What is it that he's going to do that could be problematic? And that is something that some people tend to overlook. [It is] that lead leg teep to eventually go to the head. It's not just that. He's also going southpaw with it and then going to the head, and then he'll fake up top and boom, boom to eventually dropping his opponent to get the eventual finish."

Cejudo added that he believes Nurmagomedov may use the teep kick to get the knockout or stop Dvalishvili from wrestling.
