Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) Heavyweight division has everyone and their grandmother losing their minds. UFC 304 was another successful night at the office for the promotion’s lone interim titleholder, Tom Aspinall, who defended his title with a 60-second technical knockout of Curtis Blaydes in the co-main event (watch highlights). The victory gave Aspinall more title defenses at Heavyweight than the undisputed champion, Jon Jones, who hasn’t fought since he won the belt in a vacant title bout against Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 in March 2023 (watch highlights).

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
