Reddit, Inc. (NYSE:RDDT) may be willing to walk away from roughly $60 million a year to stop Google from turning its discussions into answers that users never leave Google to read. The companies are negotiating a renewal of their 2024 data-licensing agreement, and Reddit has discussed ending Google's access to its content for AI use, the Wall Street Journal reported on July 22. Reddit, Inc. (NYSE:RDDT) fell 8.7% after the report, its worst session since March, according to Barron's.
Google can find generic product descriptions and technical explanations all over the web. Reddit is useful because its users argue about whether a product is actually good, describe unusual problems and update old advice. Those conversations answer queries for which polished corporate pages are nearly useless. Reddit can reasonably demand more money or limits on how that material appears in Google's AI products.

Walking away would carry a cost beyond the licensing check. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), through Google Search, also sends people to Reddit, where their visits can be turned into advertising revenue. If an AI answer already quotes the useful part of a discussion, however, that referral relationship becomes less valuable. Reddit is effectively being asked to keep supplying an input that may reduce the traffic Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) sends back.
The $60 million payment is not large enough to make the decision on its own. Reddit generated $663 million of revenue in the first quarter, of which $625 million came from advertising and $39 million from other sources, including data licensing. Google would lose a frequently updated source of human answers. Reddit would find out how many users seek it out and how many arrive only because Google placed a link in front of them.

Chelsea Handler had one immediate question after seeing Joe Rogan placed at the top of Forbes' 2026 ranking of the highest-paid podcasters: who is paying him an estimated $82 million?
The comedian challenged the figure beneath an Instagram post promoting the list.
She argued that the money would be better directed toward veterans or children before criticizing the information Rogan shares with his enormous audience.
The $82 million figure is not a disclosed salary or a single payment from Spotify. It is Forbes' estimate of the pretax podcast-related earnings generated by Rogan or his business between June 2025 and June 2026.
"WHO IS PAYING JOE ROGAN 82 million?" Handler wrote beneath Forbes' Instagram post. "Give that to our vets, or our children!!!" She then accused Rogan of being "completely uninformed" and mocked what she characterized as his habit of casually retreating from inaccurate statements.

Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP)'s Big Boy 4014, the world's largest operating steam locomotive, has been touring the country this summer, and grown adults keep tearing up when they see it. CEO Jim Vena said the tour east of the Mississippi wouldn't have been possible without one thing: the railroad operating firm's pending merger with Norfolk Southern, since Union Pacific's own tracks run west of the river. In part, the nostalgia tour is a goodwill campaign for the biggest deal in the company's history.
On the business itself, Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP) reported a strong quarter. Revenue rose 12% to $6.86 billion, beating the $6.71 billion expected, and adjusted earnings came in at $3.41 a share versus $3.24 expected. The company raised its full-year guidance to high-single-digit earnings growth, up from mid-single digits. The stock rose about 2% in premarket trading. Costs rose too; operating expenses climbed 13% to $4.1 billion, mostly from a 63% jump in fuel costs linked to the Iran war.
Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP) is trying to buy Norfolk Southern in a deal now valued around $71.5 billion, down from an earlier $85 billion price tag as terms have moved with Union Pacific's stock. It would create the first coast-to-coast U.S. railroad. The day before earnings, Union Pacific settled with Canadian National Railway, a major opponent that had been pushing regulators to demand more information. CN will drop its opposition in exchange for expanded Midwest access and a stake in two jointly owned terminal railroads. Vena called it proof the firm is "ready to move forward in the regulatory process." The deal still isn't approved, though. The Surface Transportation Board (STB) paused its review in May and just this week ordered Union Pacific to make employee-impact data public. Rivals BNSF and Canadian Pacific Kansas City are still lobbying against it, and some shippers and state attorneys general remain opposed. The companies still expect to close the deal in the first half of 2027.
That raises a real question. Is this merger clearing its last real hurdles, or did the CN settlement just remove one opponent out of several?
The core business (Union Pacific's actual railroad operations) is performing well on its own, guidance beat and rose, and pricing power held up despite surging fuel costs. The CN settlement removes a credible opponent and comes with political tailwinds too: Trump has publicly backed the merger and replaced a regulator who could have opposed it. Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP) and Norfolk Southern say the deal would save shippers $3.5 billion a year and remove 2.1 million trucks from the road. Wall Street responded fast: Baird, RBC, and JPMorgan all raised price targets this week, with RBC citing the CN deal directly as strengthening the merger's case.

Hilaria Baldwin says accusations that she married Alec Baldwin for his wealth initially hurt because they did not reflect the precautions she took at the beginning of their relationship.
During an appearance on SiriusXM's Page Six Radio, the former yoga instructor acknowledged why their circumstances attracted suspicion.
She was 27 when she met the 52-year-old actor, who was already wealthy and internationally famous.
Hilaria said she nevertheless rejected Alec's early attempts to buy her things because she wanted to determine whether the relationship would remain appealing without the financial security he could provide.
Hilaria recalled living in a small New York City apartment with an unpredictable heating system when she met Alec in 2011. Her laptop worked so poorly and became so hot that she sometimes placed her hands around it for warmth at night.

Panthers rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell's season is officially over.
The Panthers announced that Brazzell has been placed on injured reserve as a result of the knee injury he suffered at practice on Wednesday.
Brazzell will have surgery to repair his lateral collateral ligament. A third-round pick from Tennessee, Brazzell was a first-team All-SEC sedection last year who was expected to make an impact as a rookie, but now he'll spend the year rehabbing to prepare for the 2027 season.
With their open roster spot, the Panthers signed tight end Chamon Metayer, who originally signed with the Steelers as an undrafted rookie in April but was cut by Pittsburgh in June.

There were fans on hand for training camp practice for the first time. And they were treated to the direct sun side of the field. The players, on the other hand, see the direct sun every day, and the 95 degree morning heat that comes with it. That didn't stop them from putting some good looking product on the field, though.
Here are a few standouts from today.
He was absolutely dealing. Perfect passes perfectly placed all day, leading to some great catches that seemed near impossible for defenders to get to. This included dime ***** in the back left corner of the end zone to Brock Bowers and the back right corner to Tre Tucker. Then a tight fit ball to Jack Bech in the back of the end zone.
Two days in a row now Brock has been among the standouts. His first great catch came on a deep crossing route from right to left, leaving Isaiah Pola-Mao with no chance at it. Later Brock gave rookie Zeke Masses a welcome to the NFL moment, beating him on a corner route for a touchdown.
The first play Bech made was a nice block on a run out to the left. Then in red zone sessions, he beat Eric Stokes in the back of the end zone for the score.

After a miraculous division-clinching win in the final moments of their Week 18 games against the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have a much different look to them in 2026. For the first time since 2007, they will have a new head coach at the helm in Pittsburgh's own Mike McCarthy. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has returned for his second season with the team for what he is certain will be his final season in the NFL.
Despite retaining many of the key pieces that led them to a 10-win season last year, FanDuel Sportsbook projects the Steelers to have their first losing season since 2003. Their win total has been placed at 7.5. Do you have faith in McCarthy and Rodgers to lead the Steelers past their win total? Here are the teams that stand in their way.
Week 1: vs Green Bay Packers – Thursday 8/13, 7 PM CBS/KDKA
Week 2:vs New York Jets – Friday 8/21, 7 PM CBS/KDKA
Week 3: @ Buffalo Bills – Thursday 8/27, 7 PM CBS/KDKA

We'll keep track of every time a Dodgers player is optioned to the minor leagues during the 2026 season.
Details on these transactions can also be found on our 40-man roster tracker, but here we will chronicle every specific time a player gets sent down, relative to the limits set by MLB.
Major League rule 7(d) states that a player cannot be optioned to the minors more than five times during a single season. If a player who has been optioned five times is called back to the majors, they cannot be sent back down to the minors without being placed on waivers first.
For purposes of this rule, only options after opening day count. So anyone sent down during spring training won't have that count against the limit of five.
In 2025, as one example, reliever Will Klein was optioned to the minors five times during the regular season, first with the Seattle Mariners and then with the Dodgers.

The NFC South has become one of the NFL's most competitive divisions in recent years, but Bleacher Report isn't convinced it's one of the league's best.
In a preseason ranking of every NFL division, Kristopher Knox placed the NFC South eighth, making it the lowest-ranked division heading into the 2026 campaign. The ranking factored in last season's results, offseason additions and departures, and each team's placement in Bleacher Report's latest power rankings.
Knox acknowledged that every team in the division has reasons for optimism. He pointed to Atlanta's additions of head coach Kevin Stefanski and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, New Orleans continuing to build around young quarterback Tyler Shough, and the Buccaneers addressing their pass rush by signing Al-Quadin Muhammad and drafting Rueben Bain Jr.
Tampa Bay also found itself on the list of the division's biggest offseason losses. Knox highlighted the departures of longtime franchise cornerstones Lavonte David, who retired, and Mike Evans, who left in free agency, as significant changes for a team looking to reclaim the NFC South crown after its four-year run at the top of the division came to an end.
Despite ranking the NFC South last overall, Knox doesn't believe the race will lack intrigue. He noted that Carolina, Atlanta, Tampa Bay and New Orleans all have a realistic path to contention if their quarterback situations develop as hoped. He also pointed out that the Buccaneers looked like one of the NFL's hottest teams before injuries derailed their season, leaving them with an opportunity to win the division until the final week of the year.

Tony Romo, the former NFL quarterback and top CBS television ******* yst, has reportedly been placed "on leave" by CBS following his OWI arrest after a golf tournament in Milwaukee.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news July 31, eight days after Romo was pulled over and taken into custody by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office on suspicion of operating his vehicle while intoxicated. Full videos of the arrest and subsequent field-sobriety tests have been released.
Schefter also wrote that, for now, another Wisconsin high school alumnus will take Romo's place in the lead booth – Pewaukee High School and University of Wisconsin legend J.J. Watt.
Romo received a citation for refusal to take a test for intoxication and failing the field sobriety test. In Wisconsin, a first-offense OWI is a traffic violation and typically carries a fine.
Romo was pulled over on Interstate 43 just south of the Marquette Interchange after participating in the Wisconsin Amateur golf tournament in West Bend during the weekend.

LONDON (AP) — Chelsea was fined 10 million pounds ($13.4 million) and given a suspended two-window transfer ban on Friday after appealing penalties for breaching English Football **** ociation agent rules.
The club was initially given a suspended six-point deduction along with the fine but the points penalty has been replaced by the suspended transfer ban.
The FA confirmed the sanctions on the west London club, which admitted to 74 breaches in total of FA regulations covering agents, working with intermediaries and third party investment in players.
The club owners self-reported the breaches to the soccer authorities in 2022, when they were in the process of buying Chelsea from Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.
The six-point deduction, suspended until June 30, 2027, was imposed by the independent commission which initially heard the case. But the club appealed against that. An appeal board instead replaced the points penalty with the suspended two-window transfer ban.

Arguably the best part of training camp starting, outside the obvious sight of an oasis in the all-too-long football desert of summertime, is that we finally start to get real stories and storylines to discuss. We largely get to move on from the never-ending narratives of the true offseason.
Which is what makes Joe Buck's recent comments on ESPN's Get Up that much funnier.
We know all about the hype the Los Angeles Rams are getting this offseason. They're the Super Bowl favorites according to all the major sportsbooks, reigning MVP Matthew Stafford is being placed near the top of nearly every preseason quarterback ranking, they improved their weaker side of the ball by adding the best defensive player in the league and a multi-time All-Pro at cornerback. The good news has almost been overwhelming, and the Rams are justly being placed on a pedestal for all of it.

Another Louisville Kings wide receiver is heading back to the NFL.
Kaden Prather is joining the Green Bay Packers on a one-year contract, according to a report Thursday, July 30, from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on X, formerly Twitter.
The 23-year-old Maryland graduate appeared in 11 games during the Kings' run to a United Football League championship, logging 10 receptions for 149 yards.
The Buffalo Bills selected Prather in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft after he caught 56 passes for 624 yards and four touchdowns for the Terrapins as a senior. His time with the team was short-lived, however, after a hamstring injury sidelined him for a large portion of training camp.
The Bills waived Prather last August. He was subsequently placed on injured reserve.

Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback who serves as the lead ***** yst for the network's No. 1 NFL broadcast team, was arrested on July 23 on suspicion of driving under the influence.
"Tony Romo is on leave from his role at CBS Sports until further notice," the network said in a statement released Friday, July 31.

A deputy saw an open alcoholic beverage "on the passenger side of a vehicle."

Otto Lopez, Gleyber Torres Among Infielders Connected to Red Sox Ahead of MLB Trade Deadline originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
When the Red Sox acquired Curtis Mead from the Nationals, they helped boost their lineup ahead of the 2026 MLB trade deadline. However, Mead's injury in his Boston debut may have changed the team's deadline plans once again.
On Thursday, interim manager Chad Tracy said Mead's "non-displaced fracture" in his left wrist will not require surgery, so the Red Sox won't be ruling him out for the rest of the season, per MLB.com. Still, his injury means that another infield acquisition could be in play for Boston.
The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Will Sammon and Katie Woo reported Friday that the team is eyeing "additional infield help," including some former All-Star names.
The Red Sox have expressed interest in Marlins infielders Otto Lopez and Xavier Edwards, per The Athletic. With the Red Sox reportedly eyeing a shortstop, either player could be capable of playing the position.

Tony Romo has been placed on leave by CBS Sports "until further notice" following his July 23 arrest in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence.
J.J. Watt will replace Romo during the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback's absence and work alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson.
Romo, 46, was stopped going southbound on I-43 and "performed poorly on SFSTs (standard field sobriety tests)," according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office's arrest report.
He has a court date set for Sept. 21.
Romo has been CBS Sports' lead NFL ***** yst since 2017 following his retirement from the league. He spent his entire 13-year playing career with the Dallas Cowboys, rising from an undrafted free agent to a four-time Pro Bowl selection and the franchise's all-time leader in touchdown passes.

CBS Sports placed Tony Romo on leave Friday morning, "until further notice," in its first public statement since his OWI arrest in Milwaukee last week
"Tony Romo is on leave from his role at CBS Sports until further notice," the network said in a statement.
Awful Announcing has learned that JJ Watt will join Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson as the network's lead NFL broadcast team during Romo's absence, with CBS set to release the rest of its NFL on CBS roster at a later date.
Boomer Esiason told his radio audience barely a day earlier that he didn't expect CBS to comment on the situation at all, a read that lined up with how the network had handled things all week. The Daily Mail had reported days earlier that CBS executives had already closed ranks around Romo, with one source telling the outlet, "I don't want to act like it's not a big deal, because it is. But it's not going to get him fired." A second characterized the arrest as a "lapse in judgment" rather than anything approaching a fireable offense, noting Romo had reached out to his bosses almost the moment it happened.
Romo was pulled over on Interstate 43 in Milwaukee County on the night of July 23, hours after competing in the Wisconsin Amateur Championship, and taken into custody after performing poorly on standardized field sobriety tests. Body camera footage of the stop later surfaced on TMZ, including Romo's own reaction to the test results.

"Tony Romo is on leave from his role at CBS Sports until further notice," the network said in a statement.
Awful Announcing has learned that JJ Watt will join Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson as the network's lead NFL broadcast team during Romo's absence, with CBS set to release the rest of its NFL on CBS roster at a later date.
Boomer Esiason told his radio audience barely a day earlier that he didn't expect CBS to comment on the situation at all, a read that lined up with how the network had handled things all week. The Daily Mail had reported days earlier that CBS executives had already closed ranks around Romo, with one source telling the outlet, "I don't want to act like it's not a big deal, because it is. But it's not going to get him fired." A second characterized the arrest as a "lapse in judgment" rather than anything approaching a fireable offense, noting Romo had reached out to his bosses almost the moment it happened.
Romo was pulled over on Interstate 43 in Milwaukee County on the night of July 23, hours after competing in the Wisconsin Amateur Championship, and taken into custody after performing poorly on standardized field sobriety tests. Body camera footage of the stop later surfaced on TMZ, including Romo's own reaction to the test results.

Chelsea were fined £10 million ($13.4 million) and given a suspended two-window transfer ban on Friday after an appeal hearing into sanctions imposed for multiple breaches of Football ******* ociation rules.
The Premier League club were initially given a suspended six-point deduction along with a fine, but the points penalty has now been replaced by the suspended registration ban.
The club had admitted to 74 breaches of FA regulations covering agents, working with intermediaries and third-party investment in players.
Owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital self-reported the breaches to football authorities in 2022, when they were in the process of buying the club from Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.
The six-point deduction, which was to have been suspended until the end of June 2027, was imposed by the independent commission that initially heard the case but the club appealed against that sanction.

Al-Ahli boss Matthias Jaissle is the surprise favourite to succeed Eddie Howe - who is expected to leave his role with immediate effect - as Newcastle head coach - and he would arrive with a strong recent record of success.
Former Red Bull Salzburg boss Jaissle took his first coaching steps as ******* istant manager of Danish club Brondby between 2017 and 2019. He then took over Salzburg's under-18 academy team before becoming a head coach for the first time at Liefering in Austria's second tier.
He guided them to a second-placed finish, the club's joint-best position, and that achievement helped him become Salzburg manager in 2021, replacing Jesse Marsch, who would later manage Leeds United in the Premier League and then Canada at the 2026 World Cup.
In two seasons with Salzburg, Jaissle won the Austrian Bundesliga twice and also the Austrian Cup.

Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones were seemingly involved in an on-pitch argument on Thursday, potentially relating to Liverpool's captain's armband.
During Liverpool's 1-0 win over Wrexham in a pre-season friendly, which played out at Yankee Stadium in New York, Szoboszlai was replaced after providing the **** ist for Rio Ngumoha's goal.
Szoboszlai removed the captain's armband as he exited the pitch, handing it to Kostas Tsimikas, who had come on at half time, and the pair were involved in a heated conversation with Jones after the final whistle.

While it is unclear what exactly caused the confrontation, many fans have speculated that Jones was frustrated at Szoboszlai's decision to make Tsimikas captain, based on the young Scouser's gestures.

It's time for the first look at the 2026-27 Ohio State men's basketball team.
The Buckeyes cap off summer workouts with two exhibition games in Puerto Rico. They are part of an eight-day trip that also features a stopover in Miami for one day of practice. The level of competition Ohio State will face when it plays against teams labeled Equipo 1 and Equipo 2 on August 2 and 3 in San Juan remains to be seen, but these games will provide the first glimpse at how third-year coach Jake Diebler's team is coming together before fall practice.
Diebler is expected to liberally rotate through his 14-man roster during the two games, giving everyone from the team's leading returning scorer in John Mobley Jr. to work-in-progress freshman center Vuk Lazarevic opportunities to show what they can do.
As The Dispatch prepares to head to Puerto Rico, here are six things to keep an eye out for.
Bruce Thornton's contributions won't be easily replaced, but his heir apparent in the backcourt is University of California transfer Justin Pippen. The Buckeyes brought him in via the transfer portal with hopes of pairing him with junior John Mobley Jr., who averaged 15.7 points per game and went through the NBA draft process before opting to return.

It's a tough job. But somebody's gotta do it.
Step right up, Michele Meyer-Shipp.
Nearly five months ago, Meyer-Shipp replaced Rod Graves as executive director of the Fritz Pollard Alliance (FPA), an independent organization that promotes and monitors minority hiring for head coaching roles and other high-level positions in the NFL.
Yeah, that NFL. The one where Black coaches were 1-for-18 in landing the top jobs over the past two hiring cycles. The one that is a defendant, along with several teams, in a class-action lawsuit brought forth by Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores and two former coaches alleging racial discrimination. The one under attack from the Florida attorney general, aiming to wipe out the Rooney Rule, which ties so closely to the FPA's mission.
The challenges for Meyer-Shipp come from multiple directions, with multiple layers, against the political winds of the anti-DEI movement pushed by the highest levels of government.

It's all starting again! To kick off the new ADMIRAL Women's Bundesliga season, SpG Südburgenland/TSV Hartberg will be visiting the Red Bull Football Academy, where – as in the previous season – all matches can be attended free of charge. Kick-off is on Saturday at 14:30 CEST.

With their usual ambitions and some new faces, our FC Red Bull Salzburg Women, led by captain Katja Wienerroither, are heading into their new campaign with confidence. In addition to the already announced new signings, Lena Triendl is joining us. The Tyrolean native won the double last season with FK Austria Vienna, providing twelve goal contributions in domestic football.
Our team were drawn to face SV Telfs in the ÖFB Women's Cup on the first weekend of September. Before that, however, the first league matches are on the agenda. Lilla Sipos, the star player of the past Bundesliga season, has left Burgenland for Sturm Graz – a setback for the bottom-placed team in the 2025/26 season, who only remained in the Austrian top flight due to severe financial difficulties at Neulengbach.
Dusan Pavlovic's team is aiming to add another chapter to their success story after last season's achievements – qualifying for the Championship Group and reaching the Cup Final. The upcoming match against the combined team is a welcome opportunity as we scored more goals against them than any other opponents in 2025/26 (with a 5-2 and 4-2 win). The match will be broadcast on both ÖFB TV and Laola1, the new media partner of the ADMIRAL Women's Bundesliga. Florian Grabner will referee the clash.

The Manchester Bee has been part of the DNA of our city for almost 200 years and is an iconic symbol for Mancunians.
Club News
Stylish, striking and a source of great pride, the first official ******* ociation came when Manchester was granted its coat of arms in 1842, with seven bees placed on a globe above the shield.
The bee – specifically the worker bee – conveys the city's industry, togetherness and hard work, while the globe reflected Manchester's importance as a global trading city.
During the Industrial Revolution, Manchester took the lead in terms of mass production leading to comparisons with the worker bee and the hive of activity, with factories filled with hard working individuals that helped make the city into not only a northern powerhouse, but a world industry leader during the 19th century.

Since the 2025-26 season ended, Manchester City has seen a host of leadership and experience depart the club. Pep Guardiola stepped down as Manchester City's manager. He has been replaced by Enzo Maresca. Bernardo Silva, Nathan Ake and John Stones have also departed the club. Their departures, coupled with Pep Guardiola's, create a void in terms of leadership and experience in the City squad. Heading into the 2026-27 season, Manchester City do need a new crop of leaders to rise to the fore.
Last season, Pep Guardiola named Bernardo Silva as the Manchester City captain with Ruben Dias, Rodri and Erling Haaland completing Manchester City's leadership group. Of those four players, Bernardo Silva is now a Real Madrid player. There are doubts that surround the future of Rodri. Erling Haaland and Ruben Dias do look to be the standout candidates to become the next captain for Manchester City.
Outside of Haaland, Dias and Rodri, if he stays, Manchester City do need other players to step up and become leaders. It is time for other players to fill the void left behind following the loss of bonafide leaders and experienced players. Gianluigi Donnarumma looks to be a prime candidate to step up as a leader for Enzo Maresca's side. As does Marc Guehi. Both players have been leaders throughout their careers and could make a step up in this regard for Enzo Maresca.
Josko Gvardiol and Phil Foden are two other players who have the potential to be leaders in Manchester City's new era. Foden is now a seasoned professional and knows intimately the high standards demanded at City. Josko Gvardiol has signed a long-term contract extension and the natural progression for him is to become a leader for his team. Foden and Gvardiol are two players who seem primed to step up as leaders and hopefully other candidates will emerge during Manchester City's preseason tour of Asia.
Manchester City do need a new crop of leaders to emerge for the 2026-27 season and beyond. The standards expected at the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders have been established by Pep Guardiola, Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Nathan Ake and the club legends that have departed before them. To carry on those standards, City will need a new batch of leaders to emerge. It is a crucial element of any team and the sooner that Manchester City's next crop of leaders reveal themselves the better it will bw for Enzo Maresca's side.

Muay Thai, a combat style with roots in close-quarter fighting from 7th Century Southeast Asia, has evolved over two millennia into a brutally effective means of self-defense. Today, it's often called "the Art of Eight Limbs." The wealth of diversity that started flourishing in Northern California in the wake of the Vietnam War meant that an array of Muay Thai masters were now living and teaching in cities from San Francisco to Stockton. Gyms fine-tuning the method's array of punches, kicks, knee-strikes and elbow-strikes have become plentiful enough – including in Northwest Nevada – that a robust competition circuit has become increasingly popular in the Sacramento Valley. On Saturday night, Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, working with World Fighting Championships and Rising Stars Muay Thai, will bring the first-ever, lightning-placed Muay Thai throw-down to the Yuba-Sutter Region.
The action starts at 7 p.m.
The night's main event is a championship match between Antonio Martinez (12-4) of Monster Muay Thai in Flagstaff, Arizona, and Eddie Abasolo (11-7) of Combat Sports Academy in Dublin, California. The winner will walk away with the WFC Professional Muay Thai Championship.
The co-main event will see undefeated Garrett Boyer (5-0) of Vital Force Muay Thai taking on Sacramento's Alberto Montano (11-2), with the victor getting crowned both the WFC Amateur Muay Thai Champion and Rising Stars Muay Thai Amateur Champion.
Organizers say the professional undercard features several compelling matchups, including Caley Scott (0-1) of Omni Movement taking on Sacramento's Cy Hanson (0-0) of Sit Thongsai, as well as undefeated Joe Kimbrough (4-0) of Black Flag Kickboxing facing hometown fighter Marcos Jimenez (1-0) of Collective Combat Academy.

Ford stock rose sharply on Wednesday morning after the Detroit automaker reported mixed second-quarter results and raised its full-year guidance, earning a quick upgrade to buy from Citi.
The ****** yst's note cited improving momentum and placed a price target at 20, 34% above where Ford stock ended Tuesday. Shares of Ford (F) were up around more than 7% in Wednesday's premarket trading, according to MarketSurge.
Ford reported revenue fell less than expected, down 3.8% to $48.3 billion vs. views for $47.2 billion. Net losses ballooned from $36 million last year to $1.3 billion.

North Carolina football opens fall training camp Thursday as the Tar Heels begin preparations for the 2026 season under head coach Bill Belichick.
The start of camp also comes as UNC navigates an off-field issue involving general manager Michael Lombardi. The school announced Monday that
Lombardi had been placed on leave but didn't provide a reason, noting that employees and athletes aren't permitted to address the topic "as is standard procedure with personnel matters."
University leaders said their focus remains on the football program and its student-athletes as an investigation involving the program's general manager continues.
"I'm disappointed that we're talking about this," Chancellor Lee Roberts said. "We should be focusing on our student athletes and on their success on the field ... so it's distressing to me and everyone else in the administration entrusted with leadership at this remarkable university, that this is something that we have to have to spend time on."
