A rematch almost five years in the making, Kevin Lee is eyeing redemption against ‘Raging’ Al on December 15 with a potential title shot on the horizon for Lee if he gets his hand raised in this classic rematch. The First Fight Kevin Lee and Al Iaquinta first faced each other at UFC 169 on Feb 01, 2014 when Lee made his octagon debut against the much experienced Iaquinta in his hometown of New Jersey....

Leeson, 28, admitted to altering documents in a desperate bid to conceal losses of more than $1 billion on derivatives trades. His Singapore defense attorney, John Koh, said Leeson went all-out to cooperate with the investigation in the hope that he would earn a lighter sentence. In doing so, he may have implicated some of his superiors – a former managing director had his passport confiscated–and with time off for good behavior he could be out in a few years....

Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs: The 2013 NBA Finals. Is this what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Technically, as the Indiana Pacers stretched them to the limit, we saw that this Heat squad isn’t exactly unstoppable. And for all their failures in the playoffs over the recent years, we witnessed that the Spurs haven’t been immovable either. But what we are about to witness is going to be one of the closest Finals matchups in recent memory, between two incredibly talented teams....

In fact, he is currently putting together a show in Puerto Rico called Fight Forever: A Tribute to Bret Hart. Mr. Savinovich elaborated on why this tribute is happening: Naturally, since I had access to the man who’d been around for the rise of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and John Cena, I asked him if there could be breakout Superstars in the WWE roster of today: He would go on to pick out a handful of names that he believed had promise....

Notably, Life Is Fine had debuted at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, giving Paul his first ARIA #1 album in his long career. In addition, at last year’s ARIA Awards — Australia’s equivalent to the GRAMMY— Kelly took home Best Male and Best Adult Contemporary Album, along with Best Cover Art and Engineer Of The Year. These results gave Kelly a remarkable 14 ARIA Awards out of 51 total ARIA nominations from over the years....

LEGO is officially working on a massive LEGO Super Mario The Mighty Bowser (71411) set. Built from a substantial 2,800 LEGO pieces, the result is a massive interactive Bowser LEGO figure and a platform with flaming columns for him to stand on. The Mighty Bowser will officially go on sale on October 1 and is priced at $269.99, a price to match what was clearly a substantial amount of work to design it....

Unfortunately for fans that have been looking forward to the new release, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has been delayed out of its previous spring 2021 release. Developer Traveller’s Tales has assured fans that updates on the game will come out as soon as they’re available, but after a string of delays before this most recent one, things are beginning to look bleak. The most concerning thing of all is the fact that now, there’s a chance that LEGO fans will go without a new release for two years in a row....

The Skywalker Saga’s Jedi and Sith have clearly gotten a lot of love from the developers, based on the variety of Force powers they can use to influence their opponents, as well as the flashy combos that players can apparently string together with the right button combinations. Perhaps more importantly, though, The Skywalker Saga’s gameplay overview provides concrete evidence that other classes of combatants are getting some major upgrades in The Skywalker Saga too, letting non-Force wielders keep up with Jedi and Sith in combat....

Nathan Lyon’s seven-for helped remove the hosts for 305, with Warner and Handscomb grinding out fifties to get Australia to stumps down just two wickets and trailing by 80 runs. Expansive opener Warner was unable to find the boundary with the frequency he is used to, making just four in total and having to wait 74 balls between his second and third. The pair were visibly fatiguing in the sweltering, humid conditions but managed to get to close of play with an unbeaten 127-run partnership and coach Lehmann commended their efforts....

In a match rearranged following the tragic death of Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in October, Claude Puel’s side were held to a 0-0 draw by struggling Southampton at the King Power Stadium. But in the shoot-out, Manolo Gabbiadini’s effort was saved by Danny Ward before Nampalys Mendy bagged the winner for Leicester. It was Leicester’s first home victory since Vichai’s helicopter crashed outside the club’s stadium just days before they were scheduled to face the Saints in the fourth round tie....

Lenco’s LS-50LED BK offers a handy alternative to that outlay, a decent turntable with two integrated speakers, RCA line output, and an additional USB output you can use to digitize your vinyl collection. And with integrated LED lighting and a stylish design, the LS-50LED BK brings a tidy and budget-minded audio package to the table. But how does it stack up? Is the Lenco LS-50LED BK turntable worth using?...

When the sinus cavities are cut off from air and are unable to drain, an environment in which germs can grow and thrive is created. In many cases, especially those of acute sinusitis, the blockage is caused by swelling of nasal tissues and excess or thick mucus. Acute sinusitis lasts four weeks or less. Chronic sinusitis lasts three months or more. Sometimes chronic sinusitis is not caused by mucus but by tissue that blocks off the sinus cavities and prevents them from draining....

Cedar’s award is one of the highest honors ever bestowed on an Israeli director. Until recently, film was not considered a high priority by the country’s cultural establishment. But over the past five years, more funding has been allocated to the industry—and it’s paying off. Last year a Palestinian-Israeli co-production, “Paradise Now,” reaped a Golden Globe for its provocative presentation of suicide bombers; two other films, “Sweet Mud” and “The Bubble,” received accolades at this year’s Sundance and Berlin festivals....

Lebanese Health Minister Hamad Hassan first informed reporters that the country’s ministers had collectively resigned in a decision formally announced later Monday in a speech by Prime Minister Hassan Diab, who himself was to forfeit his position. The departure of Diab, backed by technocrats and the Hezbollah party, would reopen a vacuum for the premiership in a country whose leaders are carefully chosen based on a sectarian power-sharing system....

So in order to repay them, he got his neighbors a bunch of cupcakes. MORE: Maverick Carter talks LeBron | James tours China Yes, those are “Just a Kid from Akron Cherry Cola” and “Homecourt Chocolate Chunk” cupcakes. Unfortunately, we do not know what bakery made these. But we have to imagine it was Carolina’s Cupcakes, the local bakery that beat every major news outlet to the LeBron to Cleveland scoop....

LeBron James tips Kyle Kuzma for a leap with LA Lakers It’s fairly common for players to hype up their teammates prior to the beginning of a new campaign. But when the player throwing praise is LeBron James, you know that it’s more than just a mere act of appeasement. The onus is now on Kyle Kuzma to deliver for the LA Lakers during the 2020-21 campaign. LeBron James’ comment is not just his belief in Kuzma but also a statement of expectation from the power forward....

Wednesday marked four weeks since the NBA halted the season on March 11 after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert became the first player to test positive for coronavirus. While league commissioner Adam Silver said last month all options were on the table as far as the NBA resuming operations was concerned, James suggested the prospect of not completing the season would be difficult to digest from a personal standpoint....

As James went up for the layup, he stepped on Derrick Rose’s foot, rolling his ankle in the process. LeBron was on the court writhing in pain for a few moments before getting up and off the court on his own power. After a brief respite, James returned to the game. The Cavaliers could ill afford to lose another player, let alone James. Kevin Love is out for the remainder of the playoffs due to a shoulder injury, and Kyrie Irving is playing despite a foot injury causing him much pain....
