Michael Chandler scored one of the greatest knockouts in UFC history on Saturday, knocking out Tony Ferguson with a front kick to the face early in the second round of their lightweight bout on the main card of UFC 274 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The first round was wild, but it only set the tone for what was to come 17 seconds into the second round. Ferguson raised his arm as if to throw a punch and Chandler hit him with a devastating front kick to the face. Chandler looked… Source link

Michael Saylor is perhaps one of the most fervent supporters of Bitcoin on the planet—and that’s saying something, given the almost cultlike community behind the world’s leading cryptocurrency. Saylor, an MIT graduate and the cofounder and CEO of the business intelligence firm MicroStrategy, has become a hero to the Bitcoin faithful ever since his company began stockpiling the cryptocurrency in August 2020. The CEO has gone so far as to call Bitcoin “freedom,” and “the most… Source link

Michael Conlan had the WBA featherweight title in the bag on Saturday in Nottingham, England, until he didn’t. Leigh Wood staged a remarkable late comeback and stopped Conlan at 1:25 of the 12th round to retain the title that throughout the fight seemed destined to go to Conlan. Conlan dropped Wood hard at the end of the first round with a sweeping left hand. He hurt him several times in the second round and then again at points in the first eight rounds. Wood was behind badly on all three… Source link

Mike Cole insists that, until a few months ago, he gladly would have accepted $500 in exchange for his unused ticket to Michael Jordan’s 1984 NBA debut. Thankfully for him, nobody ever made him that low-ball offer. A ticket that Cole stashed for years in his basement alongside some other old keepsakes turned out to have more than just sentimental value. It was one of two tickets that nearly doubled the previous record for the most expensive vintage sports ticket when their auctions closed… Source link

The NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team ceremony was a historic parade of stars young and old, and it wasn’t without a little suspense wither. At the beginning of the day, it wasn’t entirely clear if Michael Jordan, a player the NBA definitely would have wanted to have for its All-Star Game halftime festivities, would be in attendance. That was because of a little race known as the Daytona 500, in which Jordan’s 23XI Racing had two cars competing. Jordan was seen attending the race in Daytona Beach,… Source link

Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor says Meta should have stayed around longer in the crypto space. “The mistake [they made] was not getting into the crypto space. They wasted many, many years of their time with the project they invested in,” the MicroStrategy CEO and founder said on Yahoo Finance Live. This week, Diem — Facebook’s one-time crypto venture — said it sold its assets and intellectual property to crypto bank Silvergate Capital. Sale price: $182 million. The sale effectively ends… Source link

How the Sox will use Michael Kopech in rotation in 2022 originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago The Chicago White Sox pledged a “creative” way to deploy Michael Kopech during the 2021 campaign. Come 2022, that creativity isn’t going anywhere. Kopech missed back-to-back seasons in 2019 and 2020, the first while recovering from Tommy John surgery and the second due to personal reasons. The White Sox never took him out of their long-term planning, but he obviously boasted limited experience and… Source link

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is down more than 20% from its record high and is set for its fourth straight weekly decline. Crypto bulls, as always, are keeping the faith. That includes MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, who added bitcoin to his company’s balance sheet last year. Since then, he’s been an outspoken advocate. Right now, he doesn’t see many — any? — long-term obstacles to prices going higher. “The only legitimate risk is a black swan – an unknown unknown,” he said in an… Source link

Michael Burry dumped just about everything in Q3 to guard against the ‘mother of all crashes’ — but he did purchase 3 interesting new holdings Hedge fund manager Michael Burry of “The Big Short” fame has been a busy man lately. In addition to his non-stop shadowing (and shading) of Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Twitter, Burry has also been selling off shares. A lot of them. In Q3 of 2021, he reduced his common stock holdings from $137 million to $42 million. That’s because Burry believes the… Source link
