He’d get a win on his UFC return on January 18, then take on the winner of UFC 244’s “BMF” title fight. But that plan may have to be put on hold after an anticlimactic finish to the big bout. It was a huge night. The fight was for the “BMF” belt that was carried into the arena by none other than “The Rock”. The president of the United States himself, Donald Trump, was in attendance. Even the world championship boxing match between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Sergei Kovalev was put on hold until UFC 244 had reached its conclusion. Remarkably, the MGM Grand even managed to strike a quickfire deal with ESPN to screen the ...

Iran signs up to help Syria rebuild power grid days after US sanctioned its ‘terrorist-run’ construction sector Tehran and Damascus have signed a preliminary deal on rebuilding Syria’s power grid at a major electric systems expo, which by pure coincidence takes place in Iran just as Washington sanctioned its construction sector.

‘I like oil!’ Trump reaffirms predatory intentions in Syria as Assad calls him ‘best’ US leader for honesty Donald Trump is not trying to hide Washington’s true policies and intentions behind the doublespeak about freedom and democracy – and that makes him arguably the best US leader, Syrian President Bashar Assad has admitted. “We’ve stayed back and kept the oil,” Trump reiterated on Friday, reaffirming the main US interest in Syria and stating that less lucrative endeavors like keeping peace should be taken care of by someone else. “Other people can patrol the border of Syria... let them – they’ve been fighting for a thousand years...” I like oil!
