Tony Ferguson is currently 38 years old and there is no doubt that the fight game has weighed heavily on his body. MMA is not an easy sport to have some longevity in, although Ferguson has managed to maintain his status as a top-tier fighter. For instance, he is still the seventh ranked fighter, and he is getting himself big matches against the likes of Michael Chandler.

Ferguson will fight Chandler tonight at UFC 274 and ahead of the match, UFC President Dana White spoke to TMZ Sports about Ferguson’s career. As you can see in the clip below, White believes that Ferguson still has a lot left in the tank and that even if he does lose his upcoming fight, he will still get fights in the future.

“[Tony’s] still the number 7 ranked guy in the world,” White said. “Still in the top 10. Still in the top 15. Still one of the most elite fighters in the world. If you look at who he’s fought, he’s fought everybody. So, I wouldn’t say he’s fighting for his UFC life.”

UFC 274 is going to be a very interesting card, especially with Charles Oliveira vacating his title due to his failure to make weight. The UFC continues to give fans intriguing story lines, and Ferguson vs. Chandler is just a small piece of that puzzle.

Kylie Jenner is living her best life. Days after walking the red carpet in an incredible Off-White gown at the Met Gala, the mother of two posted up on a luxurious vacation in Turks and Caicos, showing off her bikini body for her hundreds of millions of followers.

As TMZ notes, the 24-year-old recently revealed that she gained 60 pounds while pregnant with her son – whose name we still haven’t learned – although she’s managed to drop 40 of them thanks to consistent walking and pilates workouts.

On May 5, it was revealed that rapper, 42 Dugg, had been arrested by federal agents for failing to surrender. In 2020, the artist was apprehended for having an illegal firearm. After going to trial for the crime, 42 Dugg, born Dion Hayes, was let off with three years of probation.

However, after violating his probation numerous times, the judge ordered him to serve a six-month sentence. The Michigan native was supposed to arrive at a West Virginia prison on April 12 but failed to show. This led to agents tracking his cell phone and capturing the CMG artist in Detroit.

Now, prosecutors have shared details about the ongoing case. In a court hearing, they detailed the manhunt and explained why they believed 42 Dugg was a flight risk.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Barbara Lanning stated, “When he was arrested he had $25,000 in cash and more than $100,000 in jewelry.” She also argued that the rapper’s airplane did not have an assigned number and that his real name was not included on the flight’s passenger manifest– which was “not an accident,” according to her.

Steve Scharg, 42 Dugg’s lawyer, claimed that his client did not surrender because he thought he didn’t have to turn himself in while the case was still pending. Regardless of that, though, prosecutors argued that in April, the artist filed a court document claiming that he was a sovereign citizen and immune to federal laws.

According to Casey Swanson, his lawyer provided by the court, Dugg did not file the letter mentioned. She also stated, “Mr. Hayes did not flee. He did not intentionally avoid a sentence in this case.”

Perhaps one of the most insane takes in basketball right now is the idea that the Los Angeles Lakers should trade LeBron James. This is a suggestion that was brought up by none other than Stephen A. Smith just a couple of days ago. Simply put, Smith believes the Lakers need to think about their future and that trading LeBron would actually be a great way to do so. 

Most people believe this idea is just too absurd for words and the Lakers should just keep LeBron for the future. After all, he is a massive asset and it wouldn’t make sense for the Lakers to send him packing. As you can imagine, this aforementioned sentiment is one shared by Magic Johnson.

Magic might not work for the team anymore but he certainly knows his way around the franchise. The former Lakers superstar was speaking to TMZ Sports, where he was asked about a potential trade. That is when he said that LeBron needs to stay with the Lakers and that he wants to see the man in a purple and gold jersey for years to come. 

At this point, it is safe to say that LeBron is off limits. Either way, it is still fun to think about what a LeBron trade would look like.

Blac Chyna has gotten herself wrapped up in some trouble. On Friday night, word began flying around online that the mother of two had been placed under investigation for battery after she allegedly assaulted another woman by kicking her in the stomach.

TMZ shared the initial report, revealing that Sequoya King filed with the Los Angeles Police Department after “a verbal dispute which turned physical” occurred at a bar in the area, and now, she’s spilling more tea on social media.

“For those of you who missed my post earlier this morning, I was assaulted by [Blac] Chyna!” she wrote on Facebook on May 6th. “My phone was snatched by her and destroyed and while trying to defend myself she kicked me in my stomach.”

King continued, “I have done everything to resolve the matter peacefully but aft this point she has to be exposed!!! Stop doing drugs sis, it’s not a good look.”

The alleged victim declared that, despite being disrespected, she’s managed to “still [remain] humble,” adding that “It’s not about the money, I just want a new phone and she has to be held responsible for her actions!!!”

“Moving forward I will take all measures to make sure she is not able to do any more bodily harm to anyone else!!! Also to the auntie who pulled out a gun, shout out to you too!” King concluded.

Word of Chyna’s latest legal trouble comes just days after it was revealed that she lost her defamation case against the Kardashian-Jenner family, and was ultimately awarded no damages – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates. 

Luka Doncic is one of the best players in the entire world, and last night, he was able to demonstrate that as he put up an all-world performance against the Phoenix Suns. After going down 0-2 to the Suns, the Mavericks needed a win and Doncic was able to provide just that. The Suns are title favorites right now and there is no doubt that the Mavericks were in tough given their circumstances.

Last night’s win was not an easy one, especially with Chris Paul getting up to his usual tricks. The so-called “point god” is a master when it comes to drawing foul calls and manipulating the referees into thinking he was hit harder than he actually was.

With that being said, there was one moment in particular last night where Paul was a little overzealous with his faking. In the clip below, Doncic was called for an offensive foul on Paul and based on the replay, you can clearly tell that CP3 was taking quite a few liberties here. As a result, Luka decided to roast CP3 by mocking his head movements. It was a pretty funny scene, and it was a demonstration of just how tired some players are of CP3’s antics.

Now, the Mavericks will have an opportunity to potentially tie this series up in Game 4. If they manage to do so, the Suns will certainly be in a precarious position. After all, the Mavs have Doncic, who is an MVP-level player.

Did you have a prom to remember? People often reflect on their high school days fondly, especially formal dances and events. However, for a select few, they didn’t get to experience the highs of their glory days because, for whatever reason, they missed out on the fun. Boosie Badazz falls in that category and according to him, he wants another chance to revel in the excitement of prom season.

The 39-year-old rapper has opted to stray from his controversial takes on pop culture, including his recent attention to the emojis with two fathers with their son, and instead suggested that he host an adult prom.

It isn’t a far-fetched idea as adult prom events have been widely successful, but we can only imagine what a Boosie Badazz party would be like.

“I never been to prom I always thought that was weak sh*t frfr,” Boosie wrote. “I’m like dam almost everybody been to prom except me [shrug emoji] now I wanna go smh [smiling emoji with sunglasses] I think I’m about to do a Adult Prom that sh*t a be fly. Any Celebrities that’s down for it comment let’s go r [two 100 emojis].”

It’s unclear if Boosie’s peers have answered the call, but the Lousiana icon does know how to put on successful events. Let us know if you think Boosie can pull this off and who should perform at the hypothetical prom.
