Cain Velasquez

Cain Velasquez was arrested on Monday following an altercation that took place in San Jose, California.

According to online reports it has now been revealed that Velasquez had been taken in due to a potential attempted murder charge after he shot at a car with three individuals in. One of the men inside the vehicle has recently been accused of molesting a close relative of Velasquez.

The accused man is Harry Eugene Goularte, who is also based in the California area, living at a home-day-care business that is run by his mother. According to online sources, court documents have revealed the alleged abuse to the individual may have occurred on over 100 separate occasions.

Goularte was arrested on Friday for a felony count of “a lewd and lascivious act with a child under the age of 14.” However, Goularte would end up being released later despite objections from the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office.

Cain Velasquez Update

The incident allegedly took place three days following the release of Goularte. Online reports such as The Mercury-News have mirrored the statement that Velasquez began to open fire at a car carrying Goularte but instead struck another individual who was in the vehicle with him. The man who was hit was allegedly Goularte’s stepfather, who is expected to make a full recovery.

The identity of the third individual in the car is still unknown.

At this current time, Velasquez is being held in the Santa Clara County Main Jail without bail for attempted murder, with an arraignment scheduled to take place on Wednesday, per online records. There have been no announced charges put forward at this time

Adonis Lattimore

Adonis Lattimore, born without his right leg and with a partial left leg, has scored the Class 6 Virginia Beach State Wrestling Championship in his native Virginia. 

Lattimore, a congenital amputee, who was also born with a single finger on his right hand, attends Landstown High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia – clinched the Class 6 state wrestling championship at the 106lbs division last weekend. 

Receiving coverage for his incredible achievement in his native Virginia, Lattimore insisted that a positive and continued work ethic can help people reach their goals and make their dreams come to fruition.

Adonis Lattimore insists that he has “no excuses” in an attempt to make his dreams a reality

“I’ve been dreaming of this since I knew what it was, and to finally have it happen is just – I don’t know how to explain it. Really, if you won hard, you can do anything – even win a state championship without legs,” Adonis Lattimore told The Virginian Pilot. 

32-7 as a wrestler at Landstown High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Lattimore managed to secure his first state wrestling championship win with last weekend’s success. 

Lattimore, 17, explained during an interview with WAVY 10 that his victory in the state wrestling championship was just a “blur” for him, before revealing he had the goal of winning the state title for six years during an interview with ABC 7 News after his state championship win. 

“(It’s) pretty motivating just to prove them wrong,” Adonis Lattimore said. “And just to prove to myself that I can do anything I set out to do.” (Transcribed by Bloody Elbow)

Lattimore’s appearance in the state wrestling championship final came against the Korian Tran of Lake Braddock High School, beating his opponent with a score of 5-1 in the state final. Lattimore has reiterated a common phase throughout his wrestling run despite his congenital amputation: “no excuses”.

Miesha Tate

Former UFC bantamweight champion Miesha Tate has won Celebrity Big Brother. The competition included the likes of Lamar Odom, Chris Kattan and Shanna Moakler amongst many other guests. The participants would live in the same house for three weeks to compete in challenges before beginning to vote each other out.

Miesha Tate started out strong in the competition, winning the first challenge and putting her in a position to place two people up for eviction. Throughout the competition, Tate looked like one of the stronger members so it was no surprise when she won in the final via a vote of 7-1 to claim the $250,000 prize.

Miesha Tate Vs. Lauren Murphy.

Despite taking time away for the show, Tate is still as focused as ever on her MMA, and she will need to be given her next challenge comes in the form of Lauren Murphy in May.

Tate returned to the sport after being away for five years to TKO Marion Reneau in her return fight. She would then go on to lose a decision to Ketlen Viera before making the decision to change weight classes.

‘Cupcake’ had success in her current weight class, following her failed first attempt at securing the bantamweight title Tate would acquire a four-fight winning streak to earn herself another shot. Late in the 5th round, Tate sank in a rear-naked choke which would force the champion at the time Holly Holm to tap.

Her opponent currently sits at #3 in the flyweight rankings and will be looking to bounce back from her TKO loss to division champion Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 266. Prior to that loss, Murphy had accumulated a five-fight winning streak which included the likes of Andrea Lee, Roxanne Modafferi, and Joanne Wood.

MMA Press Conference

In what seems to be becoming a familiar theme a Russian MMA press conference crumbled into chaos when two fighters began going at each other live in the studio.

In the video which has gone viral, a man can be seen attacking another fighter after tempers flared on stage. One of the men initially begins to walk over towards another one of the men sitting down on the stage.

Before you know it the man walking over swung at the man sitting down as a fight began to break out. Security was quick onto it and got onto the stage to stop anyone from getting seriously hurt or injured. After taking a quick look viewers could see the shock in members of the audience’s faces after having just seen this unfold in front of them.

This isn’t the first MMA promotion to experience this kind of issue with it becoming a regular occurrence among some amateur organisations. However, there is a serious need to crack down on any violence occurring before they fighters’ step inside the cage.

The video can be found here.

Need For Security At MMA Press Conferences

Although some pushing and shoving at a press conference would seem normal to most as not long after the two facing off against each other will step inside a cage to try and take the other man’s head off. There does need to be more done to prevent MMA fighters from having these altercations.

UFC President Dana White spoke on this issue following the incident with Jeremy Stephens and Drakkar Close which saw the pair’s matchup cancelled due to an injury picked up by Klose at the press conference.

“There is a rule,” White said. “That’s why we’re there. Sean Shelby missed that one. Sean and I see this thing differently. I saw it on social media and called him immediately. “I saw the thing happen on social media and I called Sean and I was like, ‘Where was your head on that one?’ He was coming in hot and it’s Jeremy Stephens, he’s a savage.

“I mean, we’re not standing there to look good and take pictures. We’re there to make sure that doesn’t happen.” (Transcribed by Dailystar.com)

Sean Strickland Karma RX

Sean Strickland isn’t wanting to date anyone whilst competing in the fight game but has his eyes set on someone for when he retires.

The outspoken middleweight was voicing his opinions on his social media when adult film star Karma RX took a particular liking to the #6 ranked contender. Karma responded to the post saying:

It wasn’t long before MMA fans clued into what Karma’s profession was and before she knew it the adult film star was bombarded by a ton of overwhelming fans, which could’ve made her realize she had made a mistake.

The conversation would continue with the pair going back and forth with Karma admitting that ‘well, this has gone horribly.’ Strickland responded once again saying ‘Your bio really speaks to me…me too…me too lol,’ to which seemed to be received well by Karma.

Sean Strickland then asked the big question, which again given the response should leave the fighter feeling hopeful.

Sean Strickland Provides Update on Karma RX

After besting Jack Hermanson over five rounds at UFC Vegas 47, Sean Strickland was quick to provide an update on his and Karma’s relationship which had clearly caught the eye of a few fans following their Twitter conversation.

“Oh, you’re talking about my girl Karma. Ugh, you’re going to get me in trouble. No, one of these days, maybe when she retires and I retire, we’ll get it going. 

“But I mean, how do you—girl fuckin’ sucks d*ck for a living, bro. What do you say? Like, she just got a bunch of dudes cummin’ in her and you’re like, ‘Hey, wanna go on a date, babe? Wanna go get a steak dinner? As she’s cleaning off her lip.”

“But I will say one thing. Let me compliment my girl fuckin’ Karma. I wanna give her a compliment,” Strickland added.

“That girl’s life was way fu*kin’ harder than me. And yeah, she does suck a little d*ck, but at the end of the day, that fu*kin’ b*tch makes more money than me, you, and the man with the gay haircut. I mean, in all fairness, she should be a meth addict in a fuc*kin’ dumpster. So a lot of people hate on Karma, but at the end of the day, man, girl’s fu*kin’ doing well for herself.” (Transcribed by middleeasy.com)

Given his latest comments maybe it wasn’t meant to be after all, but that does not change the fact that Sean Strickland remains one of the most unique fighters if not people to ever enter the UFC.
