Recommended Videos But this time, the UFC star wasted no time ripping into Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. Even stranger, the former UFC interim welterweight champion didn’t even wait for a question from the media in attendance to go off on the NBA legend. After walking into a news conference on Thursday, Covington sat down and cut right to the chase — addressing an old Instagram Live video of James talking to disgraced music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs about his now-infamous “Diddy Parties.” “I’m gonna start this off, you know, since I’m the man of the hour, man of the show,” Covington said. “I want to ask Lebron what does he mean by, ‘There’s no party like a Diddy party.’ I truly want to know.” That’s not all the outspoken Covington wanted to inquire about, either. WARNING: Explicit language UFC fighter Colby Covington slammed LeBron James for enjoying Diddy's parties, questioning how many he attended and if that's why he left social media. Covington called LeBron a "pathetic excuse of a human being" and wished for him to share a cell with Diddy. pic.twitter.com/ys4YB2f7zm “Not only that, LeBron, how many Diddy parties have you actually been to? I’m really curious to know. And is that the reason you left social media because all the backlash you were getting for going to so many Diddy parties?” The clip that the UFC star is referring to features James talking with Diddy in which LeBron says “Ain’t no party like a Diddy party.’ LeBron on IG live with P. Diddy “Ain’t no party like a diddy party.” 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/MuEbwbkLqS “It’s pathetic, man,” Covington added. “People think this guy is a role model. He wants to defund the police, the most patriotic people in America, serving and protecting our country. “LeBron, you’re a f***ing scumbag and I hope you get locked up in the same cell with Diddy.” Combs has been charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution in a federal indictment unsealed Sept. 17. Authorities alleged Combs ran a criminal enterprise through his business and he would frequently have “Freak Offs,” described as “elaborate produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded,” according to an indictment. James has come under fire since the video resurfaced, as well as for the poor performance of the Lakers. Last month, he announced that he was going to take a break from social media. On Wednesday, James was excused from practice for personal reasons, coach JJ Redick said. James recently was confronted by an NFL fan who accused him of attending Combs’ parties before security intervened. It’s unknown whether James had attended any of Combs’ parties in the past. Covington, who is 17-4 in his UFC career, is set to fight Joaquin Buckley this Saturday in Tampa. Covington lost his previous fight at UFC 296 against Leon Edwards and is 2-3 in his past five fights, with his most recent win coming against Jorge Masvidal in March 2022. RECOMMENDED VIDEO
The Dow rocketed to a fresh record Friday, extending a post-election US equity rally while the euro retreated against the dollar following weak eurozone data. The blue-chip index piled on one percent to end the day at 44,296.51, narrowly overtaking a record set earlier this month. Major American indices have been at or near record territory since the US election, with investors betting that President-elect Donald Trump's program of tax cuts and regulatory scale-back would more than offset the drag from expected tariff increases. "The trading most of this week has been influenced by the growth agenda," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Cresset Capital Management. Market watchers have been cheered this week by a broadening of the rally beyond the tech names that dominated earlier in the year. The dollar also continued to strengthen, reflecting less certainty about additional Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and the US currency's status as a haven asset amid escalating tensions in the Russia-Ukraine war. The euro was also battered by a closely watched survey showing contractions in November business activity in the eurozone. The HCOB Flash Eurozone purchasing managers' index (PMI) published by S&P Global dropped to 48.1 compared to 50.0 in October, the most marked rate of contraction in 10 months. Any reading above 50 indicates growth, while a figure below 50 shows contraction. "Things could hardly have turned out much worse," said Cyrus de la Rubia, chief economist at Hamburg Commercial Bank. "The eurozone's manufacturing sector is sinking deeper into recession, and now the services sector is starting to struggle after two months of marginal growth." But as the euro fell both Paris and Frankfurt stocks managed to recover their losses and advance. "The eurozone data has increased the chance of more rate cuts from the ECB next year," said Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB, as well a cut of 50 basis points next month. "Investors have been jolted into recalibrating interest rate expectations on the back of this bleak economic news," she added. London managed to gain 1.4 percent despite data showing that retail sales figures for October undershot forecasts, as the pound fell against the dollar. In Asia, Tokyo climbed as the government prepared to announce a $140 billion stimulus package to kickstart the country's stuttering economy. However, Hong Kong and Shanghai sank on a sell-off in tech firms caused by weak earnings from firms including Temu-owner PDD Holdings and internet giant Baidu. Bitcoin set a new record high above $99,500 Friday, before easing back slightly. The leading digital currency is expected to soon burst through $100,000 as investors grow increasingly hopeful that Trump will pass measures to deregulate the crypto sector. Bitcoin has soared more than 40 percent since the Republican's election victory this month and has more than doubled since the turn of the year. The recent surge has also been "driven by news that Trump could set up an official crypto department that would sit in the heart of US government," said XTB's Brooks.

Economy stagnates as businesses give ‘thumbs down’ to budget
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Right when the Los Angeles Rams' offense has dropped into a disconcerting slump, their defense has held three straight opponents under 10 points for the first time in decades. Although the Rams (10-6) are closing in on an NFC West title and another playoff berth with a five-game winning streak, the way they're doing it makes their postseason prospects quite unpredictable. The methodology has been strange, but the results are not: After holding off Arizona 13-9 on Saturday night, Los Angeles has won nine of 11 and is very close to claiming its fourth division title and sixth playoff berth in coach Sean McVay's eight seasons. “I’m proud of this group and the way they battled back,” Matthew Stafford said. “A lot of people doubted us, and a lot of people wrote us off at 1-4. To be able to sit here with our record what it is right now, I feel proud of this group.” The Rams hadn't held three straight opponents to single-digit scoring since 1975, but rookie coordinator Chris Shula's defense has done it with a strong front and a little luck on the back end, including the last-minute interception by Ahkello Witherspoon on a pass that deflected off star Arizona tight end Trey McBride's head at the goal line. Kyler Murray threw it before McBride was probably ready because Shula had called a zero blitz on first down at the Los Angeles 5. “I want to make more plays to make sure they don’t have to do as much as they did (against Arizona), but I’m proud of them,” Stafford said of the Rams' defense. "It’s awesome to watch where they were in training camp to where they are now. Shula is doing a hell of a job. We all knew he would. Those guys are playing hard for him.” But the Rams have scored more than 21 points just once during their five-game winning streak, their longest since their Super Bowl championship season in 2021. They’ve managed only three touchdowns in their last three games while scoring fewer than 20 points each time out, although that stretch includes games played in the rain (San Francisco) and in subfreezing temperatures (New York Jets). Against the Cardinals in Inglewood's ideal weather, the Rams’ offense still produced one TD, a season-worst 12 first downs and only 257 total yards — 139 fewer than Arizona. The running game struggled again, as it often does when all five starting offensive linemen aren't healthy, while the entire roster aside from Puka Nacua combined for just seven receptions for 60 yards — a surprising number for a McVay offense. “I don’t think there’s one thing I can point to,” McVay said Sunday. “I could go on and on about some of the things, starting with me, but then also about our execution in terms of getting connected in the run game, targeting the right way, making sure that the ball is going where it should go, and guys that I know are capable of playing the way that we’ve seen. If they do that, then I know that it’s not as far as sometimes it can feel like. But ultimately, we’ve got to do it.” What's working The young front four remains the strength of the defense. Jared Verse had a tremendous game on the edge against Murray and Arizona's running game, while fellow rookie Braden Fiske and second-year pros Kobie Turner and Byron Young all recorded sacks. What needs help The Rams again failed to establish the running game despite never trailing Arizona. Kyren Williams got his second-fewest carries of the season (13, with just five in the second half), while rookie Blake Corum was barely involved. Los Angeles' 3.9 yards per rush is the second-lowest mark in the NFL even though Williams began Sunday third in the league with 1,299 yards. Stock up Witherspoon not only made the game-saving interception, but the eight-year veteran who went unsigned until September also has seized the starting cornerback job from Cobie Durant, who didn't play on defense against the Cards despite being healthy again. McVay said Witherspoon's play during Durant's brief injury absence resulted in the change. Stock down Cooper Kupp had one catch against Arizona, and he has just 12 receptions in the past five games, matching the least productive five-game stretch of his eight-year career. Stafford has said the Rams need to get their Super Bowl 56 MVP more involved, and Kupp says he's healthy — yet it isn't happening. Injuries McVay believes the Rams stayed healthy outside of a stinger for rookie safety Kam Kinchens, but they felt the absence of RT Rob Havenstein, who injured his shoulder last week during an unpadded practice. Backup Joe Noteboom committed three holding penalties and got beaten repeatedly. Key number 4 — Stafford's consecutive games without taking a sack. That's the longest streak of his 16-year career, yet he has only one 200-yard passing game in that stretch. Next steps The Rams began Sunday preparing as if they'll play the Seahawks (9-7) next Saturday, although the game could happen a day later. McVay won't show his cards, but if the Rams have clinched, they seem likely to rest several regulars for the playoffs. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL Greg Beacham, The Associated Press

ATLANTA (AP) — Jalen Johnson scored 28 points and the Atlanta Hawks closed out a four-game homestand, winning a third straight contest, 120-110 over the Miami Heat on Saturday. Trae Young added his 22nd double-double of the season, with 11 point and 15 assist, and De’Andre Hunter scored 26 points in his 14th consecutive game with at least 15 points coming off the bench. Tyler Herro scored 28 points and dished out 10 assists and Bam Adebayo added 17 points and 10 rebounds. It was the Heat’s fourth game in a row without star Jimmy Butler , who sat out for what the team called “return to competition reconditioning.” Takeaways Heat: Miami lost despite five players finishing with double-digit point totals. The Heat shot 44.4% from the field, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a Hawks team that hit over half of its shots, 51.2% from the field. Hawks: Johnson has been on an offensive tear in his last two games. He finished two points shy of his single-game career high of 30 points, set in his last game, on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. Hunter also finished just one point shy of his single-game career high of 27 points. Key moment After a close first half that featured nine lead changes, Atlanta seized control early in the second half. With five minutes to go in the third quarter, Atlanta’s Garrison Mathews and Hunter hit back-to-back 3s to give Atlanta an 81-72 lead, their biggest of the night, and forcing a Miami timeout. Key stat Young finished one assist shy of a franchise single-game record for assists against the Miami Heat, set by Mookie Blaylock in 1993. Up next The Hawks begin a six-game road trip in Toronto on Sunday, while the Heat visits the Rockets on Sunday. ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBABeijing, China, Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In the crypto world, where narratives shape markets and cultural relevance fuels growth, meme coins have carved out a unique niche. While $PEPE reigns as the largest meme coin in the West, with a staggering valuation of $10 billion, the East has its own contender: $BIAO. Currently valued at just $20 million, $BIAO holds the potential to not only bridge this valuation gap but also become a global sensation. The Rise of Media-Driven Coins Crypto markets often thrive on media-driven narratives. We've seen it before with $PEPE's meteoric rise, fueled by online hype and cultural resonance. Stocks like GameStop ($GME) surged in Q2 due to media attention, and other tokens have followed similar trajectories. The success formula is clear: when media and social platforms converge, they create a frenzy of speculation and investment. Why $BIAO Stands Out $BIAO isn't just another meme coin-it's a cultural phenomenon in the East, mirroring $PEPE's role in the West. With a strong narrative foundation as "China's Pepe,” $BIAO is uniquely positioned to capitalize on both cultural identity and global market trends. Moreover, speculation about China's shifting stance on cryptocurrency has dominated conversations throughout 2024. Over the past two weeks, China has made significant moves, including unbanning various technologies and recently cutting crypto taxes for hedge funds. These developments suggest a warming attitude toward crypto, with many anticipating a full unbanning in Q4. The Opportunity Ahead When China officially embraces crypto, the resulting media coverage is expected to flood crypto-focused social platforms and news outlets. This will likely spark massive FOMO (fear of missing out) among investors, especially for tokens with strong ties to Chinese culture. $BIAO, as the region's premier meme coin, could become a focal point of this movement. With a population of over 3 billion in the East, the potential for $BIAO is monumental. Investors are essentially front-running a wave of interest that could see $BIAO achieve valuations reminiscent of $PEPE's success. Announcement We are thrilled to announce that BIAO has officially partnered with Wintermute, a leading global market maker in the cryptocurrency industry. This strategic partnership aims to enhance BIAO's liquidity, optimize market efficiency, and strengthen its ecosystem to provide an unparalleled trading experience for our community. By joining forces with Wintermute, we are taking a significant step towards achieving our mission of becoming a prominent player in the crypto space. Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey together! Conclusion As the East's biggest meme coin, $BIAO stands at the crossroads of cultural significance, media-driven hype, and evolving regulatory landscapes. For those willing to recognize its potential, $BIAO represents more than just a speculative play-it's a chance to ride the wave of a global meme coin revolution. Now is the time to watch closely, as $BIAO's narrative unfolds and the East's crypto market steps into the spotlight.
