Smith had earlier stated that he doesn’t like the idea of women participating in pugilistic sports, which according to Hardy, reflects his narrow-minded and archaic mindset. Dan Hardy is currently working as a commentator and an analyst with the UFC. The 38-year-old Brit was forced to retire in 2013 after he was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White. In a recent video posted on Full Reptile’s YouTube channel, Dan Hardy said that Stephen A....

Line: Kentucky -5.5, Total: 147.5 (visit our odds page for updated college basketball lines) Game outlook: The Wildcats (7-0 SU, 2-5 ATS) embarrassed the Bruins (4-3 SU, 2-5 ATS) in Chicago last year, 83-44 as 15.5-point favorites. UCLA was outscored 41-7 in the first half, the program’s lowest points total in a half ever. None of John Calipari’s starting five from that game is on this team, and bettors have to imagine the Bruins have revenge on their mind....

Though the obvious solution for this situation would be steady hands, there are games that require more movement of the handheld than others, for example Kid Icarus: Uprising. Incorporating the touch controls of the 3DS, Kid Icarus’ gameplay will some console shaking at the very least, and at the very most some heavy movement. To help combat what could be a game breaker — that is if you were expecting to play Kid Icarus in 3D — Nintendo has announced a new 3DS stand peripheral that will be shipping with the game....

Besides the sales of the highly praised Mortal Kombat X and semi-popular Dragon Ball XenoVerse, there has been a dearth of new fighting games in 2015. So far, there have only been whisperings of release dates for other in-demand titles, like the rumors of Street Fighter V coming Spring 2016, and the possibility of a Tekken 7 launch for this year. But aside from those options, there is really not much for buffs of the genre to write home about....

Game Rant’s Jeff Schille reviews Kinect Sports: Season Two Microsoft’s mega-popular Kinect enters its second holiday season armed with an ever larger arsenal of titles pitched at every corner of the gaming market. While Child of Eden and The Gunstringer, not to mention Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary’s Kinect controls, target Xbox 360’s older crowd, Kinect continues to play host to a number of family-friendly games. Leading the charge for 2011 is Kinect Sports: Season Two, but does this sequel build on the success of the original, or is it simply more of the same?...

First and foremost, Kinect Sports Rivals has received a free update that adds an impressive 24 unique stories to each of the three separate factions.

In a series of tweets, Trump replayed the message of support from Root while thanking him for “the very nice words.” The president has been accused of using an anti-Semitic trope when describing Jewish Americans who vote for the Democrats as showing a “total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.” “I happen to be Jewish by birth and 75 percent of all Jews vote Democrat, and they don’t like Trump,” Root said during his radio show, which airs on Newsmax TV (via Real Clear Politics)....

The Taliban, the militant group that ruled Afghanistan in the late 1990s, has seized control of the country again, two weeks before the U.S. was scheduled to fully withdraw its troops, who have been there since 2001. The Taliban’s latest advance has seen swarms of Afghan people make desperate attempts to flee the country in fear of what the future holds under Taliban rule. Video footage has shown some people allegedly clinging to airplanes taking off from the airport....

Former Irrational Games art director Nate Wells revealed today that he has taken up employment at Crystal Dynamics, the studio responsible for, among other things, the Tomb Raider series. Wells would not say what his role is at CD nor what game he is working on, but apparently the trees smell nice in Redwood City, CA. Wells has been a high profile member of the development community for quite some time now, so his involvement at Crystal Dynamics is sure to turn some heads....

It’s hard to boil down what fans want to see most, but more Pokemon, the evolutions of Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Fuecoco, and the region’s gimmick are all up there. In terms of Sprigatito, there have been some reliable leaks coming from Riddler Khu (one of the trustworthy leakers in the community) suggesting Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Sprigatito would become bipedal and a Grass/Dark-type. One new leak, not from Khu, seems to corroborate this if legit....

Bale is heading towards the end of a season-long loan spell at Spurs, who do not have the option to sign him outright from Madrid at the end of the season. The Welshman made headlines last week after revealing he is planning to return to Santiago Bernabeu, but has now explained that he has yet to make a final decision on where he will play in 2021-22. What’s been said?...

What Is Legend of Mana? The iconic Japanese Role-Playing Game (JRPG) first debuted on Sony’s original PlayStation console back in 1999. Despite receiving mixed reviews from Western critics at the time, it has since developed a fierce cult following and is now regarded as one of the exemplars of its genre. In particular, it is praised for its unique non-linear structure, which enables gamers to tackle quests and dungeons in a flexible manner....

In a heartfelt and personal video message, the Jeopardy! host described his one-year journey battling pancreatic cancer, which left him at times depressed and in tremendous pain. With his bodily functions failing, Trebek assumed the chemotherapy treatment would eventually kill him. Though he had his own doubts, his oncologist assured him they would be celebrating his second year anniversary of being cancer-free too; according to The Hollywood Reporter. While thanking his wife, Jean Currivan Trebek, the 79-year-old host shared what kept him moving forward, “It would have been a betrayal of other cancer patients, who have looked to me as an inspiration; a cheerleader of sorts, of living and hope....

Shortly after it was announced that Bialik would be one of the permanent hosts on Jeopardy!—along with now-ousted Mike Richards—she was soon hit with scrutiny over comments she had made in her book, Beyond the Sling, published in 2012. “We made an informed decision not to vaccinate our children, but this is a very personal decision that should be made only after sufficient research, which today is within reach of every parent who seeks to learn about their child’s health regardless of their medical knowledge or educational status,” she wrote at the time....

Lucas Leiva’s first goal since September 2010, a header from Philippe Coutinho’s left-wing corner, proved to be enough to book a fourth-round tie at home to Wolves. Klopp felt his side could have won more comfortably, with Divock Origi seeing a late penalty saved by Plymouth captain Luke McCormick, and that Liverpool should have had another spot-kick when Daniel Sturridge went down in the box. Lucas ends incredible goal drought...

Game Rant’s Jeff Schille reviews Joy Ride Turbo. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the kart racer, as measured from the launch of Super Mario Kart in 1992. Since that game’s introduction, kart racing has become a gaming staple, and nearly every successful console has been home to a signature example of the genre. Microsoft’s Xbox 360, however, stands as a notable exception to the rule. The company’s last stab at a kart racer, Kinect Joy Ride, fell flat – and understandably so....
