When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

Conor McGregor is posting cryptic things on his social media account again, suggesting that perhaps there’s a rift growing between him and the UFC.

McGregor didn’t fight through the pandemic because the gate he draws is too much for the UFC to sacrifice. The promotion decided not to apply for a USADA exemption to allow Mac to fight in 2023, even though his injury certainly met the standards for ‘exceptional circumstances.’ They left him unbooked til halfway through 2024, and they may not rebook him til 2025.
