🚨 Paddy Pimblett on UFC Lightweight champion Ilia Topuria.
“No one would know Topuria if it wasn’t for me. He made himself famous off the back of my name. He’s so fake like half of his followers. It’s proven half of his followers on Instagram are bots. He’s just a McGregor copycat. He’s not even Spanish, he’s not even Georgian; he was born in Germany. He’s German.”

🚨 US President Donald Trump has pardoned Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, who had served a four-month prison sentence for violating US money laundering laws. The decision follows Binance’s $4.3 billion fine after a US probe found it enabled users to bypass sanctions. The pardon has sparked debate over the Trump administration’s growing ties to the cryptocurrency industry especially amid the Trump family’s own crypto investments. The White House defended the move as correcting Biden-era overreach while Zhao expressed gratitude and Binance celebrated the decision as “incredible news.”
