Things got pretty heated during the Flyweight match at UFC 259 last night between Tim Elliott and Jordan Espinosa. While Elliott went on to win the fight, the two fighters exchanged some words during one grappling session on the ground that actually got picked up by the mics and ended up surprising Joe Rogan. Essentially, Elliott accused Espinosa of beating his ex-girlfriend about three years ago.

“I heard you choked your girl in 2018. Are you a woman beater? She messaged me,” Elliott says before Espinosa replies saying “Did she? You don’t know the whole story.” Eliott clapped back by saying “I know enough” before Espinosa ended the encounter by retorting “You don’t know s***.”

Following the fight, Elliott was asked about the exchange, where he seemed to be quite embarrassed about it all, noting that he never meant for anyone to hear what was being said.

“I didn’t say that for anybody else to hear, because I don’t know the whole story,” Elliott said. “It’s not something I wanted the whole world to hear. That was supposed to be between him and I. I didn’t know the mic was going to pick up on it.”

Espinosa’s manager was livid about the ordeal, saying that it was reckless slander on Elliott’s part. Regardless, the fight is over and neither combatant can take back was said. However, the UFC might need to think about their mic process in the future.

Quavo and Jack Harlow came out victorious in their 2-on-2 game against Lil Baby and 2 Chainz for $500K. Jack made a few shots and assists but it’s no secret that the Migos rapper emerged as the MVP. 2 Chainz still had a strong performance but it dwindled over the course of the game while Lil Baby struggled to make a shot.

It seems like the combined efforts of 2 Chainz and Baby didn’t impress Jim Jones, nor did Quavo and Harlow. Following last night’s game, Capo hit the ‘Gram to express his thoughts on the game and it seems like he thinks Quavo and Harlow would be no match for himself and Cam’ron. “I was lookin’ at these little All-Star 2-on-2s or whatever. Me and Cam would’ve smoked Quavo and Jack Harlow. Did them lil n***as bad,” said Jones with a smirk on his face, before calling out Bleacher Report for their line-up of rapper-athletes. “Y’all need to call some real playas sometime. I’m here,” he added. 

Cam’ron’s background as a ballplayer has been well-documented throughout his career, in both his music as well as the semi-autobiographical self-produced, Killa Season. It’s unclear just how good Jones is on the court but he does play regularly.

Do you think he and Cam’ron be able to beat Quavo and Harlow on a 2v2?

Tessica Brown can breathe another sigh of relief after she managed to forgo yet another scary ordeal. Nicknamed “Gorilla Glue Woman,” the Lousiana native went viral on social media after she took to TikTok to explain that her hair had been stuck in a slick-back for weeks because she used Gorilla Glue adhesive spray when she ran out of regular hair spray. Thousands of dollars and followers later, Tessica has since made a full recovery from her once immovable hair. Seemingly enjoying her post-viral sensation life, she recently stepped out for a breast augmentation consultation where she discovered lumps in her tissue. Luckily for Tessica, it turns out the lumps are benign.  

Jessica’s manager Gina Rodriguez told TMZ that the test results for the 2 lumps, one in each breast, ended up coming back negative. Tessica, of course, was thrilled to hear the news. Rodriguez added that doctors say the benign cysts are the result of fibrocystic breast disease, which will come with its own complications. 

The publication reports that the disease generally makes it a bit tougher for doctors to identify potentially cancerous lumps. Because of this, Tessica will now be required to have a mammogram every 6 months. 

The viral sensation recently went back to Dr. Michael Obeng, who removed the glue from her head, to get consulted for a breast lift/implants and same abdominal liposuction. The lumps were discovered during the pre-surgery consultation. 

Thankfully, Tessica will be alright. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting our daily lives for more than a year now as we continue dealing with the virus. Vaccination rollouts have been gradual and recovery finally seems to be on the horizon. Recovery for the pandemic of the relatively-new virus is in part dependent on the spread and growth of the virus at a pace that experts can continue to track. A new study suggesting that people with certain blood types may be more likely to contract the virus may delay pandemic healing efforts a bit more.

Research published on March 3 in the scientific journal Blood Advances suggests that individuals with Type A blood could be more at risk of infection than people with other blood types. They note that if you do have Type A blood, you still shouldn’t be too concerned if you’re practicing regular COVID-19 prevention methods. 

Researches essentially discovered that the new coronavirus strain is particularly attracted to the Blood Group A antigen that’s found on respiratory cells. “It is interesting that the viral RBD only really prefers the type of blood group A antigens that are on respiratory cells, which are presumably how the virus is entering most patients and infecting them,” said Sean Stowell, who is the co-author of the study.

“Blood type is a challenge because it is inherited and not something we can change. … But if we can better understand how the virus interacts with blood groups in people, we may be able to find new medicines or methods of prevention.”

They further suggested that this is even more reason for people with Type A Blood to get vaccinated if they’re eligible to be.

When Adam Silver was first hired to become the NBA’s commissioner, fans felt like he was doing a good job. From unique initiatives to allowing the players to protest racial injustice, it seemed like Silver had a handle on things. However, throughout the pandemic, Silver has fallen out of favor as he continues to make decisions that put the players at risk during the pandemic.

Perhaps his most controversial decision was to go through with this year’s NBA All-Star Game. Various players were rightfully upset with the decision but Silver isn’t backing down. The game is going down tonight and just hours ago, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons were exempt from the game due to a COVID-19 scare.

The news coming out of Atlanta has left many fans in disbelief as to just how reckless holding the game was. In fact, Silver is catching a ton of heat on Twitter, as fans continue to call him out while also sharing some hilarious memes about the entire situation. Needless to say, Silver will not be a popular man when this is all said and done.

Despite everything, the game is still going to happen today, as Team LeBron and Team Durant try to put on a show for the fans at home. In the meantime, check out the best reactions to the situation, below.

Pharrell Williams is one of the most celebrated producers when it comes to the world of hip-hop and pop. His musical contributions will forever be held in high-regard and outside of the industry, he continues to make waves. For instance, Pharrell has been heavily involved with fashion, especially as it pertains to Adidas. His most famous contribution to footwear is the Adidas NMD Hu and soon, the shoe will be getting a brand new colorway.

According to @adisight on Twitter, the Adidas NMD Hu will be dropping in an all-black reflective model with the words “Breathe” and “Thoughts” written across the top. What makes this new release so special is that the stock will be limited to just 100 pairs per region.

The two regions that will be getting the shoes are the United States and Europe. Fans will be able to scoop them up as of Wednesday, March 10th and it will all go down on the Adidas Confirmed App which is basically SNKRS but slightly less frustrating. Of course, with very low stock counts, you should expect to take an L.

Let us know what you think of this new colorway, in the comments below. Also, keep it locked to HNHH for more news coming from the sneaker world.
