Endeavor loves bragging about how much money it makes. No doubt the second-quarter revenue reports will dazzle shareholders of TKO, the unifying brand that houses both UFC and WWE. According to a report from Variety, the UFC 300 and UFC 303 events “busted through expectations” — alongside WrestleMania 40 — to bag another $851.2 million. As a result, parent company Endeavor raised its 2024 revenue target to a range of $2.670 billion-$2.745 billion.

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.

UFC Vegas 95 in chaos: Three fighters miss weight, adding to ‘Worst Card of the Year’ claims

Fight fans who tuned in to Rough N’ Rowdy 25 on Friday night got more than they bargained for. In fact, they witnessed a real-life police arrest inside of the ring. On Friday, Barstool Sports hosted another installment of its Rough N’ Rowdy boxing event. For those who have never seen one of these, it’s a circus. The fights usually involve inexperienced, out-of-shape fighters who swing for a knockout from the opening bell. It’s certainly compelling action to watch, but nothing that’s overly impressive.
