A UFC fighter was awarded a one-of-a-kind performance bonus after being bitten by an opponent during a fight. Following the bout‚ UFC President Dana White decided to double that bonus after he saw how the fighter celebrated his victory.Flyweight fighter Andre Lima remained undefeated after a fellow undefeated fighter‚ Igor Severino‚ sullied his record via disqualification for biting Lima on the bicep about halfway through the second round. "He bit me while I was trying to take him down‚ as you can see‚" Lima told the UFC through a translator after the fight.Lima explained the importance of the victory due in part to the fact that one of his coaches had actually paid his rent throughout his training camp."I went down‚ but I got back up‚ and as I was getting up I yelled because I felt pain‚ a very sharp pain‚ and I really thought that the fence had gotten into me. I thought that’s what happened‚" Lima said‚ according to BJPenn.com. "I started yelling‚ ‘Ouch‚ ouch‚ ouch‚’ and they started looking at me. I don’t know what’s happening‚ but I really thought it was the fence because there was absolutely no way that he would bite me‚ especially because the fight was going back and forth." Andre Lima picks up the win over Igor Severino due to a DQ from Severino‚ who bit Lima\u2019s arm \ud83d\ude33 #UFCVegas89 — (@) Severino was fired by the UFC following the fight‚ while at the same time Lima was awarded $25‚000 by the company's president.

This was followed by an unexpected award to Lima for the inaugural "Bite of the Night" bonus."Tonight's [Bite of the Night]💰💰‚" the UFC wrote on Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by UFC (@ufc) After learning about his bonus‚ Lima decided to commemorate the bite mark on his arm and actually had the wound outlined with a tattoo."I Got F**king Bit Bonus‚" Lima's tattoo read.

"Now I'm giving him 50k. This is AWESOME!" 50k \ud83d\udcb4 — (@) "Those were two up-and-coming undefeated fighters‚" White reportedly told writer Kevin Iole.

Gen Z – those born between the years 1997 and 2012 – get a bad rap. They’re often characterized as lazy‚ entitled‚ chronically anxious tech addicts. And while there may be some truth to that stereotype‚ statistics show that Zoomers are actually better than we’ve been led to believe. Isabel Brown‚ a Gen Z author and conservative voice‚ shared some pleasantly surprising news with Dave Rubin about America’s most challenging generation. Due to smart devices and advancing technology‚ modern society has adapted to be heavily virtual‚ and apparently Gen Z is tired of it. “Gen Z is saying‚ ‘You know‚ we want a little bit more than that. We want more substance; we want more purpose‚'” says Isabel‚ adding that “dating is maybe the best example of what that looks like.” “There are several articles that have come out in the last few months about how Match‚ the group which owns Tinder and Hinge and several other competing companies‚ is freaking out about how to retain Gen Z as a customer base because 90%+ of us say we’ve had horrible experiences on the app‚” she explains. But online dating isn’t the only table Gen Z is turning. “Gen Z women are overwhelmingly throwing away our birth control because no matter where you fall in the partisan political spectrum [and] no matter what your intimacy life looks like‚ we realize we're feeling really sick‚ and we're slowly poisoning ourselves in the process‚” says Isabel. But this next statistic might be the most shocking. According to “a study that just came out‚” “93% of us … still want to get married‚” she tells Dave‚ adding that this is most surprising because we’re currently living “in a time where we have the lowest marriage rate in American history.” Further‚ despite what we’ve been told‚ “Gen Z is actually breaking more conservative than at least the two previous generations‚” which is the crux of Isabel’s newest book‚ “The End of the Alphabet.” “When I say [conservative]‚ it doesn’t necessarily mean the red MAGA hat‚” she says. Rather‚ it means “ culturally embracing traditional values.” “What does every young generation have in common throughout all of human history?” she asks. “We want to rebel against the people who came before.” For Zoomers‚ “‘sticking it to the man’ is quite literally believing there is such a thing as objectivism. It means wanting to get married instead of sleep with as many people as humanly possible and follow the advice of the manosphere or the radical feminism community. It's wanting to have kids in a society that's begging you ‘don't have kids for the sake of your career‚ for the sake of the environment‚ for the sake of your personal life.”’ Even the hustle and bustle of city life‚ which generally attracts a younger crowd‚ is becoming less desirable. Studies show that “we’re moving out of big cities” because “we want more suburban or rural areas to reconnect with nature‚” says Isabel‚ adding that younger generations are also “eating real food in a time where everything is hyper-processed or full of chemicals or even grown in a laboratory.” But perhaps most shocking of all is that Gen Z is embracing the idea of a higher power again. To hear more about this unexpected renewed interest in God despite “our hyper-atheistic society‚” watch the clip below.

Boeing announced that CEO Dave Calhoun and other top executives will step down as part of a management shake-up prompted by safety and quality concerns over a mid-flight door panel blowout earlier this year‚ CNBC News reported.Calhoun told Boeing employees on Monday that he would leave the company at the end of 2024."As you all know‚ the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 accident was a watershed moment for Boeing‚" Calhoun wrote. "We must continue to respond to this accident with humility and complete transparency. We also must inculcate a total commitment to safety and quality at every level of our company.""The eyes of the world are on us‚ and I know we will come through this moment a better company‚ building on all the learnings we accumulated as we worked together to rebuild Boeing over the last number of years‚" Calhoun added.He told CNBC that the decision to step down was "100%" his own.Calhoun took over the position in January 2020 after two plane crashes — one in 2018 and another in 2019 — prompted the company's board to fire his predecessor‚ Dennis A. Muilenburg. The crashes‚ which killed all on board‚ were caused by issues with the planes' flight stabilization feature.Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stan Deal also retired from the company‚ effective immediately‚ amid the management overhaul. He has been replaced by Stephanie Pope‚ Boeing's chief operating officer.Additionally‚ the chairman of the board‚ Larry Kellner‚ will resign and not seek reelection in May. Steve Mollenkopf‚ a Boeing director‚ will replace Kellner and lead the board in selecting a new CEO.In February‚ Deal told NBC News that the manufacturer had removed Ed Clark‚ the head of its 737 Max program. Clark managed Boeing's Renton‚ Washington‚ facility where the assembly of the Alaska Airlines plane involved in the January mid-flight panel blowout was assembled. At the time‚ Deal called the management reshuffling part of Boeing's "enhanced focus on ensuring that every airplane we deliver meets or exceeds all quality and safety requirements."The National Transportation Safety Board informed the Senate Commerce Committee earlier this month that Boeing is "unable to find records" for repairs made to the airplane that experienced the panel blowout. Before delivering the aircraft to Alaska Airlines‚ the plane underwent rivet repairs‚ which required the door panel to be temporarily removed."To date‚ we still do not know who performed the work to open‚ reinstall‚ and close the door plug on the accident aircraft‚" NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy wrote in a letter to senators. "Boeing has informed us that they are unable to find the records documenting this work."Boeing has repeatedly stated that it is cooperating with the NTSB's investigation into the incident."With respect to documentation‚ if the door plug removal was undocumented there would be no documentation to share‚" Boeing said.Like Blaze News?

As debates rage over the TikTok bill‚ which would force the app’s Chinese parent‚ ByteDance‚ to sell the app‚ people find themselves conflicted. On one hand‚ TikTok allows China to collect and store Americans’ data‚ which could pose a national security threat. Further‚ it paves the way for Chinese propaganda to be fed to the American people. On the other side of the argument are those who cite the First Amendment as proof that a ban would be unlawful. It would also kneecap millions of businesses and influencers who depend on the app for revenue. So what’s the right answer? Here’s what four comedians have to say. “I don’t think it’s a good platform. I don’t think it’s healthy for people‚ but the only reason they want to ban it is because they can’t monetize it in that short amount of time‚” says Matt McClowry‚ who ultimately thinks the app “shouldn’t be banned.“ Dave Landau agrees – “There’s nothing behind [the ban] that is ... reasonable‚” especially considering that “[China is] already taking our information” via other data sources. Bridget Phetasy speculates that those in government who are pushing the ban are just threatened that China has some control over the narrative – “We are the ones who will be in control of the propaganda here‚ not you‚ China‚” she mocks. “I don’t want it banned‚” says ¼ Black Garrett‚ because “[TikTok users] are just gonna flock to Twitter.” “Somebody had a really funny underrated joke on Twitter‚ and they said‚ ‘[A ban] will solve the fast food worker shortage‚”’ laughs Bridget‚ adding that food servers will be “popping and locking” while you’re trying to order. “Can I get a number two when you’re done twerking?” laughs Dave. However‚ censorship is another thing to consider. “Literally‚ one in every two videos I post ends up getting taken down‚” says Dave. “You just have this AI robot arbitrarily deciding things are inappropriate‚ which is how we're gonna all die‚” says Matt.

ABC News anchor Jonathan Karl got more than he bargained for on Sunday when he asked Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) about potentially being selected as Donald Trump's running mate.Last Thursday‚ Rubio said it would be an "honor" to serve as Trump's vice president‚ a comment that Karl could not understand."Really?" he asked Rubio.Rubio explained that he believes "anyone who is offered the opportunity to serve this country as vice president should be honored by the opportunity to do it." For anyone who loves his country‚ that's a standard and reasonable answer. And yet‚ Karl was bewildered that Rubio would take the job — because of Jan. 6‚ of course."The reason I asked — I mean‚ look what happened to the last guy‚" Karl said. "I mean‚ a mob stormed the Capitol‚ literally calling to hang Mike Pence."Rubio‚ however‚ was not in the mood for the media's petty political games and reminded Karl that America under President Joe Biden is much different from America under Trump."When Donald Trump was president of the United States‚ this country was safer. It was more prosperous‚" he said. "I think the country and the world was at a better place when he was president‚ and I would love to see him return to the White House compared to the guy who's there now‚ Joe Biden‚ who’s been a disaster economically."Look at the world. Every single day we wake up to a new crisis‚ to a new conflict‚" he continued. "Everything has gone on fire since the time Joe Biden took over. Afghanistan's gone down. Ukraine has been invaded. Now‚ the Philippines and the Chinese are on the verge of something bad happening every single day. Not to mention the threats to Taiwan. And we have this blowup in Haiti going on in our very own hemisphere. We wake up every single day‚ terrorist attacks‚ 9 million people across the border. That’s what matters to me." — (@) The strong defense of Trump left Karl stammering and defensive."But — but — but you're — but — I mean — I mean you're not suggesting that’s all happening because of Biden and everything?" the ABC News anchor followed up."Absolutely I am‚" Rubio confirmed."But — well‚ let me —" Karl stammered again."Absolutely I'm suggesting it’s happening because of Biden. He's president‚ and his weakness and his —" Rubio confirmed."Just because of Biden that — that Russia invaded Ukraine?" Karl followed up."Absolutely‚" Rubio said once more. "I mean Putin is sitting there saying‚ 'These guys can't even stand up to the Taliban and they have to fly people hanging off the wings of these airplanes. Now is the time to go.'"For some reason‚ Karl felt the need to continue bashing Trump. He claimed the former president wants a deal in the Ukraine war that "effectively gives Putin what he wants in Ukraine." But Rubio quickly called out that falsehood."That's not true‚" Rubio said. "What he has said is he wants the conflict to end‚ which is striking to me that people — why wouldn't people want peace?"Karl‚ however‚ did not answer that question. Instead‚ he shifted the interview to an entirely different topic.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Microsoft has devised a system to massively reduce the amount of VRAM required by ray tracing in games‚ potentially meaning that we don’t need to keep piling more and more memory onto future graphics cards. If it gets implemented into plenty of games‚ it could be good news for owners of Nvidia and AMD graphics cards with less than 12GB of memory‚ as these often struggle with the demands of ray tracing in today’s games‚ even when the GPU can keep up.
