Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) biggest pay-per-view (PPV) event is set for Saturday, July 9th at the Las Vegas T-Mobile Arena.

UFC will be hosting it’s biggest PPV event since UFC 100 in 2009. There has been a lot of speculation on whether or not Featherweight champion Conor McGregor will be fighting on the UFC 200 card, but the UFC has moved on from the McGregor drama and assigned a new fight card headliner: Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones 2.

UFC has also revealed the return of former Heavyweight champion, and current WWE superstar, Brock Lesnar, who will fight in the octagon with Mark Hunt in the co-main event. Grappler vs. Striker is a classic fight that everyone loves to watch!

After UFC 200, Lesnar is expected to resume his WWE career full time, because he is slated to headline SummerSlam 2016 in New York

UFC 200 is a star-studded PPV event. The new bantamweight champion Miesha Tate will be defending the belt for the first time against top contender Amanda Nunes.

Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar will fight for the right to hold the interim featherweight title and to be the number one contender for the featherweight title fight against McGregor. Although McGregor is no longer on the UFC 200 fight card, he is scheduled for a rematch against Nate Diaz at UFC 202.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
