Eminem Premieres New Music Video for “Higher”: Watch
Eminem is in #SurvivalMode in his new music video for “Higher”. The clip for the Music to Be Murdered By single debuted Saturday afternoon ahead of the rematch between Justin Poirier and Conor McGregor at UFC 257. Watch it down below. As The Detroit Times points out, “Higher” has become something of an anthem in the sports world as of late, recently appearing in an ESPN advertisement for the College Football Playoffs national championship game. Of course, Eminem is no stranger to the ring; 2015 boxing drama Southpaw was inspired by Marshall Mathers and featured original music from the rapper.

Jake Paul Calls Out Conor McGregor & Dana White, But Nate Diaz Responds
Source: Mike Roach / Getty Ever since turning Nate Robinson into the butt of many jokes and even an online challenge, Jake Paul‘s really been feeling himself something ridiculous. It’s gotten to the point where the YouTube personality has been talking ish to UFC icon and former champion, Conor McGregor and not only challenging him to a fight but even offered the Irish arse kicker a $50 million purse to get it done. Taking to IG to call him out for “ducking” him (uh-huh), Paul went for the jugular and called him a “c*nt” and even called his wife a “4” on a scale from 1 to 10. Accusing McGregor of being scared of losing to a YouTuber, Paul went on to call out UFC’s head white man in charge, Dana White by calling him a “p*ssy” and a “bald b*tch!” While this seems like all showmanship and/or o...
UFC: Israel Adesanya to fight Jan Blachowicz next
UFC star, Israel Adesanya, can expect to get back in the Octagon fairly soon, though it won’t be to defend his middleweight title. UFC President Dana White told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that Adesanya will move up to light heavyweight to face Jan Blachowicz. White and Adesanya reportedly spoke about the move Friday with the undefeated Nigeria-born New Zealander on board to switch weight classes. Adesanya was spotted at UFC Fight Night 181 in Las Vegas on Saturday and had a small back-and-forth with middleweight Kevin Holland after the latter defeated Charlie Ontiveros via technical knockout. Holland appeared to call out Adesanya for a shot at the title after winning four straight bouts in 2020. It appears such a fight will have to wait—as will any potential middleweight title fight, which White...
