In a brutal fight that was the co-main event of Saturday’s Fight Night in Las Vegas, Scotland’s Chris Duncan defeated Poland’s Mateusz Rebecki by unanimous decision.
At the conclusion of the match, Duncan’s favor was awarded a score of 29-28, 29-28, and 30-27.
The result brings the 32-year-old’s professional mixed martial arts record to 14 victories and two losses.
Duncan was also on the receiving end of some punishing shots from Pre-Fight favorite Rebecki throughout the entire fight.
Who won’t quit, according to Duncan, is unbeatable. “I don’t quit.
I’ve endured everything, I say. You wouldn’t understand what I was through as a young child.
He remarked to his swollen face, “See this, this is nothing.” “It’s painful what I went through as a child.” Nothing about this is superficial.
Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki first fell in love in 2023 while living in the Love Island villa, but the pair recently broke up after two years of dating.
Love Island star Whitney Adebayo has claimed her ex-boyfriend Lochan Nowacki ‘called her skin dirty’ during their relationship in an explosive TikTok post – which Lochan denies. Whitney, 27, posted a TikTok in which she made the claim, but later deleted the post after it went viral on the platform.
However, she has since shared the post once again, with Lochan sharing his own response to the allegations. The former flames met on Love Island in 2023, before finishing up in seventh place on the series.
The pair continued to date outside of the villa until earlier this year when they split. It comes after Cat Deeley found moving back to the UK ‘really hard’ before split from Patrick Kielty.

Whitney has now made an outrageous claim about Lochan while they were together on TikTok following their split. Whitney poses in a stunning, bright pink strapless bikini on a beach in Barbados in the post where she makes the allegations. She captions the first image, “You look happier,” in the top photo.
In the second photo, she is looking at the camera while lying on a beach. “Thanks! ! ” she wrote on top of the second image. He used to call his skin “dirty,” and I eventually wed a pink, glittering heart emoji. Whitney also shared more bikini-themed photos with herself.
Whitney’s sister then posted to defend her sibling against some criticising her for making the allegation. Liz shared a screenshot of an alleged WhatsApp conversation, which appears to be with Lochan and dates back to August 18, 2024.
Please speak to her if she is completely dry and makes me feel awful, but I never said that because I thought her skin was dirty and I felt sick. She is so awkward that she can’t look at me in the same way. Liz, I’m not sure what to do.

Writing on top of the screengrab on her Instagram story, Liz said: “The fact that evidence is needed is absurd to me why can’t women speak and be heard? I’m tired of seeing people constantly paint my sister as this person and jumping on the ‘hate Whitney’ bandwagon.
It is vile to me that she endured such hardships and that it took so long for her to heal and share her truth to be shamed. We’ve all stayed in positions that didn’t work for us as women, but when you do, you really start to become a woman.
She concluded her criticism of her message by saying, “Be kind and give grace.”

Since then, both Whitney and Lochan have posted videos to address the accusations on TikTok. Lochan posted a five-minute video on the platform to defend himself. He said, “I don’t even know where to start this really.”
He stated that he and his family are “devastated and upset” about the allegations but that he felt “no choice” but to address them on his own social media account.
Whitney has since spoken about the situation, and Lochan goes into great detail about it. He claimed that Whitney started showing off her new nails a year into their relationship.
She obfuscated and said, “My hands are so clean, yours aren’t,” and she obfuscated. And I responded, “No, they’re not,” he said.
It was an off-the-cuff remark, but I was just annoyed that she had her hands in my face. She looked at me shocked and said, “You’re calling me dirty. That surprised me, I must say. I felt insulted by my girlfriend’s calling me a racist because she knew I would never say that.
I want to say that I’ve never called someone’s skin dirty, but I’ve never. That is the most upsetting statement in my opinion.
Lochan then discusses the accusations against him before stating that he later messaged Whitney’s sister to try to resolve the situation.
In a sincere Instagram video about her life in April of this year, Whitney revealed her breakup with Lochan. Whitney said, “It’s strange how you can wake up one day and decide everything you once loved wasn’t enough.” This voiceover was a supplement to a video of what she’s been up to recently.
“Hi, my name is Whitney, and I’ve chosen to be her today. After a cold, dark winter, I used to adore the spring, the warmth, the light, and the sense of life returning. However, April 4th this year seemed like a cruel reminder of the chill of winter. He made the decision to stop choosing us and to stop choosing me. And I was soon found myself by myself.
Whitney has also posted a video to TikTok, but it only lasted five minutes, compared to Lochan’s. She addressed the allegations in a previous post, saying she finds it difficult to focus on the camera because she doesn’t like to discuss her “feelings.”
She states, “This is for women, and especially my black women who don’t feel like it will be heard. Give me an example, and I’m sure you can relate to your story because you never know when something important might come up.
D’Tigress, a Nigerian women’s basketball team, qualified for the final of the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket, marking their fifth consecutive appearance at the tournament’s climax, according to President Bola Tinubu.
The President praised the team’s resilience and dominance following their “hard-fought 75–68 victory” over arch-rivals Senegal at the Palais des Sports de Treichville in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire in a statement released by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The President praised the team for defeating Senegal for the seventh consecutive time and advancing to the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup qualifiers, saying, “This was more than a semi-final. It was the final before the final.”
“I have observed D’Tigress consistently displaying the qualities that have earned respect for our players and coaches around the world,” he said. “I have observed the discipline, focus, and team spirit that he has consistently displayed throughout this tournament.

Rena Wakama, the team’s head coach and the first woman to lead the side, received special praise from President Tinubu for her inspiring leadership both as a former player and tactician.
Her leadership, according to the President, “continues to propel D’Tigress toward new heights in this highly competitive sport.”

As they continue to fight for a fifth consecutive AfroBasket title and further international success, President Tinubu reassured the team of his unwavering support.
In a fiercely contested match on Saturday, D’Tigress came out of behind to defeat Senegal 75-68. At the start of the fourth quarter, the reigning champions made a strong comeback to win.
Cierra Dillard of Senegal led the team in the third quarter, scoring 26 points, seven rebounds, and three assists.
Ezinne Kalu, who had 19 points, made a crucial steal and basket to close the gap, as Nigeria responded. Nigeria rose to 69-66 after Victory Macaulay’s crucial hook shot. In the final three minutes, the team won with a score of 10-3.
Former Wallabies captain Stephen Moore claims that Australia has won over many fans since the British and Irish Lions Test series.
Australia won the first Test 22-12 in Sydney before the tourists’ final test, which would have prevented them from winning the series by 3-0, before coming within one last-gasp Lions try of winning the second.
After failing to reach the knockout stages of a rugby world cup for the first time in their history in 2023, Australia, who is currently ranked sixth in the world, are rebuilding.
A declining interest in rugby union has been attributed to the country’s poor national team and the continued rise of rugby league and Australian rules football.
The hosts have not defeated the Lions in a series since 2001, but the match in Sydney attracted more than 80 000 spectators, with 90 and 307 playing in the second Test at Melbourne Cricket Crowd.
According to Moore, “I know it sounds odd because we lost the series,” but “I believe the team will emerge from this series in better shape than they did when they first started,” Moore said on the BBC’s Rugby Union Weekly podcast.
“Enhanced reputations both individually and as a team. The Wallabies’ ability to play a significant role in the series will be admired by those who watch those games both on and off the TV.
In the past three weeks, the Lions have won many fans back, despite winning – they deserved to win.
Our shop window is dedicated to the Lions’ tour and the Test matches. That’s our chance to fill stadiums and stir up discussion about rugby.
Hugo Keenan’s last-minute try gave the visitors an 18-point lead in Melbourne, but Australia showed significant improvement from Brisbane’s first half, when they did not appear even remotely competitive.
In the final test of the series on Saturday, the hosts never lost, and the hosts held the lead for 79 minutes in Melbourne.
Rob Valetini and Will Skelton, both of whom had injuries, both showed that depth was a key factor in the absence of their first Test.
After struggling for form, prop Taniela Tupou, who has been capped 59 times, was not chosen for the first two Tests.
Former Australia captain Moore continued, “We still have a long way to go with our domestic structure.”
You can see why Ireland’s centralized model is so important, and I believe we need to follow that strategy to ensure that our best players are managed effectively so they can be perfect for the Lions series’ opening game.

With only one game of Fiji to prepare for the series, Schmidt’s team was criticized for releasing his stars for warm-up games against the Lions.
After that game, first-choice fly-half Noah Lolesio was expelled from the entire series, further highlighting the Lions’ lack of depth in his place, with Tom Lynagh, 22, making his third and final three Test starts against them.
The slow start to the series was costly, despite possible injuries, and Alex Cuthbert, a former British and Irish Lions traveler, disagreed with Schmidt’s strategy.
“You have to wonder how Australian rugby prepared for this tour. They’ve known it would arrive for a year, Cuthbert told Rugby Union Weekly.

Fans of Harry Potter believe they have found a “major flaw” in the series because Potterheads picked apart the rules from a game that was prominently in the first books by J. K. Rowling.

Fans of Harry Potter believe that one of the series’ biggest moments is lacking, which is a “major flaw.” Fans are unsure whether a “huge error” will be corrected in the upcoming HBO remake of the J. K. Rowling book series, which was spanned eight films.
Fans of Harry Potter took to Reddit to discuss the problem, which dates back to the first two books. Fans believe they have found a significant issue with the fictional game Quidditch after posting an “unpopular opinion” on the r/HarryPotter subreddit.
The Harry Potter series frequently includes the game Quidditch, which features two teams of wizards attempting to score points by scoring various balls through three hoops. However, some people have reservations about the Golden Snitch, a crucial plot point and component of the fictional game.
What would otherwise be a great sport to watch is completely destroyed by the golden snitch’s rule and function, according to one user.
Imagine if every basketball game had a player out in the parking lot attempting to catch a frog for victory. When you watch a fantastic gamer go neck and neck, the buzzer sounds halfway through. Ramirez has just gotten the parking lot frog since the game is over. “
Some of Harry Potter’s biggest fans are of the same opinion. Quidditch is marketed as a mock sport, according to one user, who was quoted as being “unpopular.”
Another fumed: “It fit the early series much better, back when it was more of a fairy tale world and hadn’t become too self-serious with its world building.”

A third shared that Quidditch was created as a mockery of sports when the books were intended to be more whimsy than realistic. So it becomes absurd that it is a game.
Quidditch initially gained the support of fans of the series despite the ostensible mockery of sports. The Golden Snitch capture would not necessarily mean the game would end, but other fans were keen to make the point.
You don’t win if you get the snitch, a user said. It’s 150 points. If you’re getting slaughtered, it’s to balance the situation.

The game is “locked up when it is caught.” It’s a strategy to “hold off” catching it in some circumstances.”
Another remarked, “Unpopular opinion: this is how basketball feels already. When the timer runs out, the team that had the lead at the time simply takes turns being in the lead. It’s similar to a two-hour eeny-meany-meiny-moe game.
