Following the match, Ulberg declared, “I’m coming [for the belt].”
Ulberg consistently advanced and stifled Reyes’ punches throughout the main event fight.
With less than a minute left in the opening round, Ulberg took his opportunity and unleashed a massive right hook that knocked the American to the ground, putting an end to the fight.
Reyes’ (15-4 MMA) defeat on Sunday ended his three-fight winning streak, and Ryan Spann had his first knockout/technical knockout (KO/TKO) loss since November 2022.
Reyes and I had the opportunity to box him, but he felt the power too early, and I saw in his eyes that he didn’t want to feel that again, so I went with the two and dropped him, according to Ulberg.

Lisa Marie’s shocking revelations about her son’s suicide have been shared by Priscilla Presley.
Lisa Marie’s son, Danny Keough, and Benjamin, who was also her ex-husband, died at the age of 27, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. On July 12, 2020, shocked authorities discovered him at the family’s home in Calabasas, California. His family at the time described the news as “devastated” and said they were shocked.
Following Benjamin’s death, Lisa Marie made the decision to keep his body at their family home, on dry ice, in order to be “in control” as the world was at the time gripped by the coronavirus pandemic. Riley Keough said that Lisa didn’t want others to have access to his body so they couldn’t “mess with it”.
Priscilla has now revealed how the family became aware of the shocking news in her bombshell memoir Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis. Lisa had allergies at home, so the family moved into the Beverly Hills Hotel in the summer of 2020.
But Benjamin was sacrificing his time so that he could see Diana Pinto, his girlfriend, while staying at the lavish hotel and the family home. They celebrated Diana’s birthday on July 12 with a party that lasted until early in the morning. However, Priscilla claims that what followed may have different recalls.
Some claim Ben and Diana got into a fight before using the bathroom, while others claim he grabbed a beer and left without getting back. She claims in her memoir that a woman allegedly yelled, “Don’t do it!” before a gunshot was audible. What is clear is that Ben’s friends accidentally discovered his dead body next to a gun as they attempted to break into the bathroom.
Riley, Ben’s sister, was the first to learn about the news, though. Before the news was leaked on social media and to the press, Lisa’s assistant wanted to tell the family about it. She didn’t want to tell Lisa, though. Riley’s phone rang shortly after 5am.
Your brother “shot himself in the head,” he claimed! Riley is alleged to have been told by Lisa’s assistant frequently. She contacted her father, Danny and Priscilla to let them know, and she also made the decision to travel directly to the Beverly Hills Hotel to the Beverly Hills Hotel. Lisa was all I could think about, and she would never recover from this. I didn’t understand how she could live it up to it,” Priscilla wrote.
She continued, stating that after the body of Benjamin was removed for an autopsy, the investigation was quickly brought to a close. Sharing your grief with the public is one of the most challenging aspects of being a celebrity, she continued.
Lisa’s manager at the time stated on behalf of the late singer that she was “fully heartbroken, inconsolable, and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her oldest daughter Riley and her 11-year-old twins.” That boy was adored by her. She had a lifelong love for him.
At the 40th anniversary of Elvis’ passing, he was joined by his family during a Graceland vigil before his death. In order to transport Benjamin’s body to her home, Lisa Marie sought the assistance of a kind funeral director. She was forced to keep the room at 55 degrees while making the decision to place his final rest at the family’s Graceland estate or in Hawaii.

That was a component of why it took so long, Lisa Marie wrote in her own memoir, which was made public after her passing. I spent a lot of time with him, taking good care of him, and keeping him there. Anyone else would be scared of having their son there like that, in my opinion. not for me, though. I was so blessed to have the option to continue raising him, but it took some time to adjust so I could accept to put him to rest.

The rarely used envelope rule may be applied on Sunday’s Ryder Cup final day at Bethpage Black in New York due to Viktor Hovland’s neck injury.
Following Hovland’s victory over Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley in the Saturday morning foursomes, the issue became public.
The Norwegian made up Tyrrell Hatton to take Matt Fitzpatrick in the afternoon fourballs, but he withdrew.
On Saturday night, he had an MRI to assess the extent of the problem.
For the past two months, I’ve had some issues with a neck injury intermittently, according to Hovland.
“I’m going to get some treatment, and I’ll probably be okay for the singles.”
At 19:03 BST, Hovland will face Harris English in the final singles match, but if he is unable to play, the envelope rule will apply.
The envelope rule: what is it?
A sealed envelope with the name of one player is also provided when the two captains submit their Sunday singles lineup.
If a rival player’s withdrawal from the first singles match was more than 30 minutes prior to the start of the match was due to illness or an injury, the player named in the envelope would miss the singles.
Each side would receive half a point because the two players would be regarded as a pair.
A player’s match is forfeited if they withdraw less than 30 minutes before the first singles match begins.
A team captain must immediately notify the opposing captain and chief referee of any potential illness or injury to one of his players.
The names on the envelopes are only used names that are revealed.
In the event that a player had to withdraw after testing positive for Covid-19, an additional envelope was used at the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straights.
What would the actual application of the rule be?
What happens after Hovland is withdrawn depends on the recipient’s name in the envelope.
And whoever is named would not be able to win a singles match.
If Hovland’s scheduled opponent, English, were to enter the envelope, the match would be straightforward and tiebreaker.

Has the envelope rule previously been applied?
Since its introduction in 1979, the envelope rule has only been used twice to include players from all over Europe.
American Steve Pate was hurt in a car crash on the day before the event in 1991. Although he was able to play on Saturday, he was deemed unable to compete in the Sunday singles.
As the US won 1412-4312, English rookie David Gilford was the one who missed out on the Europe envelope when the US opened it.
Two years later, a toe infection prevented Europe’s Sam Torrance from playing on Sunday.
Surprise player: American Lanny Wadkins, who won 2112 points in eight Ryder Cups, was eliminated. Later, it became apparent that he had agreed to step down in order to prevent a more inexperienced player from having the opportunity to play. That Ryder Cup was won by the US 15-13.

At least 39 people were killed and 40 were hurt in a rally for a well-known Indian actor-turned-politician in Tamil Nadu, according to the state’s chief minister, MK Stalin, in Karur, the district where the incident took place on Saturday.
Vijay, one of Tamil Nadu’s most well-known actors, who only uses his first name, addressed the rally, which officials estimate had gathered tens of thousands of people.
According to local officials, a group of Vijay’s supporters and supporters fell as he addressed the enthusiastic crowd, causing the crowd’s enrage.
Vijay expressed his condolences shortly after the tragedy.
He posted on X, “My heart is shattered.” I “am writhing in indescribable, indescribable pain and sorrow that words cannot express.”
The “unfortunate incident” was described as “deeply saddening,” according to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Vijay left acting in 2024 and founded his political party, despite the uncertainty over whether he intends to run for office.
At the UN General Assembly, Sergey Lavrov, the country’s foreign minister, warned the EU and NATO that any aggression against Russia would result in a “decisive response.” He argued that Russia is prepared to react if provoked, but that it has no intention of attacking the West.
