He flirted with it for years, finishing in the top five in points six times and third three times before finally breaking through in his first season with Stewart-Haas Racing.

The UFC welterweight has been one of the most active fighters in the promotion, which has largely contributed to his wealth. Holland’s biggest UFC pay-outs came after he returned to welterweight earlier this year. For his successful outing against Alex Oliveira in March 2022, Holland earned an estimated $261,000 (base salary of $100,000, win bonus of $100,000, performance bonus of $50,000 and endorsements worth $11,000). Holland also made an estimated $261,000 for his subsequent win over Tim Means in June....

“I feel pretty good,” Love told Sporting News. “As far as the opener goes, I am not completely sure. I’ll probably get with the doctors and see what they have to say. I know that my six-month post-op is coming up here pretty fast. As far as getting the strength back, getting the range of motion, I feel pretty good, so I am looking forward to getting into some more contact, getting into a rhythm and getting out there as quickly as I can....

As Democrats continue to push forward with Biden’s American Rescue Plan, most Republican lawmakers continue to criticize the package and its high price tag. However, recent polls have shown that there is bipartisan support among voters for the additional COVID-19 relief. During a Wednesday morning interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box, McCarthy expressed his opposition to the package—raising concerns that his state would receive too much money. “I think the three things we need to do: back to work, back to school, back to health,” McCarthy said....

The first week of the new Congress has been grueling for both McCarthy, who was unable to win on the first ballot—a result not seen in the last 100 years, as well as for the Republican Party, whose members dragged their civil war onto the House floor and revealed just how divisive the House GOP stands. The struggle over the speakership has suggested that the next two years will be tumultuous for the new Republican majority and called into question whether McCarthy will be able to successfully govern in a chamber where he has only 10 more seats than the Democrats: 222 Republicans to 212 Democrats, with one Virginia seat vacant due to the November 2022 death of Representative Donald McEachin....

His effortless strokes and unrivalled confidence captured the imagination of fans across the globe. He will be greatly missed in the International game. Despite being not just England’s top-scorer in the recent 5-0 Ashes defeat but England’s all-time leading scorer across all the formats. The 33 year old has been told that he is no longer part of the national team’s plans. The news has come with some shock, of course there was talk and small rumours but did anyone think it would actually happen?...

The top-order batsman made 101 not out in Australia’s second innings total of 196-3 declared, with Sri Lanka still trailing by 499 runs at the close of play. It was Khawaja’s first three-figure score since a magnificent 141 against Pakistan last October, with a knee injury before the recent India series hampering his rhythm and he only went beyond fifty once in the four-match contest. Away from the pitch, Khawaja’s brother Arsalan was arrested and charged over allegations he framed a co-worker in a fake terrorism plot....

They’re still finishing up the regular season in Orange County with an attention to all the little details that could make a difference in the postseason. Khris Davis hit his major league-leading 48th homer and the A’s locked up their winningest season in 16 years with a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night. Jed Lowrie homered and drove in two runs for the A’s (97-64), who hadn’t won 97 games since going 103-59 in 2002....

The three-time champion’s scoring spree has been enough to see off the likes of the Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets this week. It could be too late for the two-time winner of the award, however, though it certainly adds to the excitement of what was once a three-way race before LeBron James’ injury. At the time of writing, it is really only going to come down to the two centers that have dominated the league all season....

NEWSWEEK: Are you surprised by this alleged plot to attack a third-grade teacher? BERGER: It would be very important to not get hot under the collar about anything until there is a more prudent and thoughtful kind of fact-checking in terms of what all these events really were and getting more clarity about what might be “he said, she said.” [But] let’s take it at face value as a hypothetical situation....

North Korea has been testing short-range ballistic missiles relatively regularly over recent months while negotiations with the U.S. have been stalled. President Donald Trump has been willing to overlook the tests, describing such launches as “very standard.” But Tuesday’s test was different. The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff believe that the missile was a submarine-launched ballistic missile, launched at sea off the country’s east coast. The weapon is thought to be a type of Pukguksong missile, the Yonhap news agency reported....

Sotheby’s auction house confirmed on Thursday that Kardashian was the successful bidder on the 1920s amethyst and diamond pendant offered in their Royal and Noble sale in London on Wednesday, for a hammer price of $197,452. The jewel was made by the landmark London-based jeweler Garrard, which has supplied members of the royal family with objects of value for over a century. Princess Diana had a longstanding relationship with the house as it supplied her world-famous sapphire and diamond engagement ring, now worn by the Princess of Wales....

The National Weather Service noted on its official Twitter account: “Unfortunately the dangerous #fire weather conditions across #California will continue into #Monday.

Though it’s hardly a traditional way to practice, reputable hospitals all over the country are opening clinics like this, which mix alternative medicine with garden-variety primary care. The unhurried, spalike centers are a refuge for patients who’ve had it with the cold, 10-minute HMO grind, or for those who want to try “natural” remedies before prescription drugs. And they’re often a last resort for patients with chronic pain or a terminal illness....

Arsene Wenger plucked a young and disillusioned Henry from Juventus in 1999 to replace the outgoing Nicolas Anelka. He was already a World Cup winner with France but his once promising career was threatening to fall into disrepair. What followed his arrival in North London would go on to be the making of a genuine Premier League legend. In the years between 2002 and 2006, Thierry Henry was a footballing force close to unstoppable....

How come a British historical costume movie, with no American stars – and not even Anthony Hopkins – is so popular? Because it’s such a good film, right? Ummm, maybe. Or maybe because U.S. audiences are having fun making parallels between those wacky royals of yore and those of today. “To be Prince of Wales is not a position, it’s a predicament,” says Rupert Everett as George’s clueless son and heir....

He isn’t exactly an individual person as he was made by the darkness in Ventus’ heart, which only springs up more questions about how he came to be, why he looks the way he does, and what his allegiance really is. It also brings up the question of why the villain Xehanort created Vanitas in the first place. RELATED: Why Sora Was the Perfect Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter to Save For Last...
