Khamzat Chimaev is being positioned as the next big thing at 185 pounds, a protracted process that has taken much longer than expected thanks to recurring medical issues. First it was a debilitating case of COVID-19, followed by a mysterious illness that bounced “Borz” from the UFC Saudi Arabia card last June.

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.
