Sony is now searching for a new Director in lieu of Trachtenberg, though the company is confident that they’ll have a replacement by the end of Summer. Luckily, the Uncharted movie still hasn’t entered production yet. This means that Trachtenberg’s replacement won’t inherit someone else’s creative vision, which can often lead to a jumbled product - both in films and in games. That being said, even Neil Druckman approved of Trachtenburg as Uncharted’s Director, and it’s pretty disappointing not having him on the project....

In the tweet, Petr Yan asked Dillashaw how his recovery is going after the No.2-ranked contender injured his knee during his return fight against Cory Sandhagen. Given his latest remarks, it’s safe to say ‘No Mercy isn’t the biggest fan of Dillashaw and is continuing to pursue a future fight with the former champion. Dillashaw made his return to the UFC in July after serving a two-year suspension following a positive EPO test....

T-Wood has not returned to the Octagon ever since dropping the Welterweight Championship to Usman in March and the former Champion recently revealed how the loss affected him during a chat with the fans on Instagram. The surprising defeat to Woodley was a humbling experience and put him back on the grind, which reignited the fire that was prevalent when he was a prospect in the Welterweight division.

In case you didn’t know… During his lengthy absence from MMA, Conor has had no shortage of run-ins with the law. McGregor infamously attacked and vandalised a bus full of UFC competitors prior to UFC 223, which led to the Irishman having to appear in court multiple times and a period of community service. McGregor has been absent from active competition since losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October of last year, but rumours of his imminent return to action had been growing over the last few weeks....

Justin Gaethje ultimately won, using a combination of vicious leg kicks and clean boxing to outpoint Michael Chandler over three rounds. However, both men’s stocks rose exponentially after the fan-pleasing main card opener. Over the 15-minute duration, Chandler certainly received more of the damage than ‘The Highlight’ did. However, it has since come out that it is primarily cosmetic damage and Chandler has no long lasting injuries. ‘Iron’ recently posted a video to his Instagram in which he stated he is wearing a frozen mask in order to aid the healing of his virtually unrecognizable face, with the hope that his son will be able to see him again....

Dana White says the UFC has left Khabib alone for the time being Dana White started off by saying that the news was terrible and that the UFC knew how close Khabib was to his father.

Prior to his win over the Swiss, Prochazka dominated the Rizin scene where he has defeated the likes of C.B. Dollaway, Fabio Maldonado, and Muhammed Lawal. The Czech fighter finished all three of the mentioned opponents either via TKO or KO....

The musicals share several unfortunate traits, not least the belief that assaulting the senses is the same as engaging them. Both stack the deck with pre-show gimmicks-vintage ’50s tunes blasting inside and outside the “Grease” theater, roulette wheels and slot-machine sound effects at “Wherehouse” (the bordello has migrated to Las Vegas, where it sells stock to pay off an IRS debt). Both repeatedly interrupt the action with annoying stand-up comics, apparently to distract from the torpid plot development....

While many gamers may not think about how their favorite video games intersect with charitable causes, it’s important to remember just how many people play games. Well over 3 billion people worldwide play video games regularly, which means that many gamers are also struggling with mental health issues, cancer, and other challenges. Sometimes philanthropy in games is as straightforward as using video games to raise money; in other circumstances, it can come from some surprising places....

Ukrainian Security Service (SSU) made the announcement on Monday, according to a translated press release, that a network of five Russian bot farms had been shuttered.

The fake accounts went about their goal by presenting misinformation about the Russian army’s success and the failures of the Ukrainian resistance....

The announcement came after more than 10 million Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes and more than 3....
