UFC star Dominick Reyes made quick work of Nikita Krylov on Saturday night in a light heavyweight bout at UFC 314 and paid tribute to President Donald Trump.

With about 2:39 left in the first round, Krylov leaned forward to jab Reyes. He leaned too far forward and got caught. Reyes hit him with a left and Krylov folded. He got Krylov on the ground with hammer fists twice before the referee came over and stopped the fight.

Reyes then ran over to Trump, who was sitting with Dana White, Elon Musk and others near the cage, pointed at the president and bowed.

It was Reyes’ third consecutive win. He knocked out Dustin Jacoby last June and then Anthony Smith in December. Before that, he was on a four-fight losing streak with losses to Jon Jones, Jan Blachowicz, Jiri Prochazka and Ryan Spann. Emotions were running high after the fight.

"It sucked," a teary-eyed Reyes said of his losing streak, "but my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, my faith in myself and my family, it kept me grounded, it kept me here. I’m still here fighting. Anything that’s going on in your life, guys, just keep fighting. Never give up. You go down, get up again. Just keep going. There are brighter days ahead. Jesus has your back."

Reyes said in his post-fight press conference it was a "dream-come-true fight."

"I got to represent America in front of my president," Reyes said, via MMA Junkie. "He was rooting for me and then he told me how proud of me he is that I’m representing the country. Since I was a small child, I always wanted to meet the president. It’s always kind of been something I wanted, and I finally got to do it as an athlete, and it goes down as another night I’ll remember for the rest of my life."

The president received a raucous ovation as he entered the Kaseya Center.

"Somewhat legendary," Trump said of the roar from the crowd. "It was legendary. It’s a great honor to have that kind of ovation, really because it says we’re doing a good job. If we weren’t doing a good job, we’d get the opposite."

UFC star Conor McGregor was sued on Tuesday over sexual assault allegations stemming from a bathroom incident at the Kaseya Center during a Miami Heat NBA Finals game in 2023.

The woman, who is described as a 49-year-old senior vice president at a Wall Street financial firm, alleged that McGregor assaulted her in the bathroom in Miami during Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 9, 2023.

Her lawyer, James Dunn, filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida.

"My client has thought long and hard about the decision to pursue this civil case, and is fearful of the effect it may have on her job on Wall Street," Dunn said. "Nonetheless, her main goal in filing this suit is to raise awareness and encourage others to report sexual assault."

Prosecutors said in October 2023 that McGregor would not face criminal charges over the alleged incident.

Barbara Llanes, McGregor’s lawyer, spoke out about the new lawsuit in a statement to Irish Legal News.

"After a thorough investigation at the time, the State’s Attorney concluded that there was no case to pursue," she said. "Almost two years and at least three lawyers later the plaintiff has a new false story. We are confident that this case too will be dismissed."

The lawsuit alleged that staff and security at the arena "had actual knowledge of the wrongfulness of the conduct" and failed to protect her adequately enough. The suit also accuses staff of overserving McGregor despite having a "chargeable knowledge of a heightened risk of battery being carried out."

McGregor was at the game to promote a pain-relief product. He struck the Heat’s mascot Burnie and attempted to "spray" the character as he was getting taken off the court.

The woman alleged that she was led to a men’s room by a person in McGregor’s entourage, and the assault took place.

A Heat spokesperson told The Associated Press that the team does not comment on litigation.

Tim Kennedy, a Green Beret and former UFC star, revealed in a social media post late Friday that he had once been partnered in a military reality television competition with the suspect involved in the Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion. 

In a post on Instagram, Kennedy shared that more than a decade ago he competed in the History Channel’s "Ultimate Soldier Challenge" alongside Matthew Livelsberger, a U.S. Army service member from Colorado.

"13 years ago I competed in a shooting competition on History Channel called ‘The Ultimate Soldiers Challenge.’ My partner in this competition was Matt Burg (aka Matt Livelsberger). Last night when I saw old photos of him on the news, I put together that it was the same guy."

Kennedy said in the post that he was "flabbergasted" to learn that Livelsberger was the driver of the Tesla Cybertruck that blew up outside Trump International Hotel Las Vegas on New Year's Day.

"He was a sincere, hard-working, talented, and competent Special Forces operator. I am flabbergasted and heartbroken to hear the news," he continued. "None of this makes sense and I, like many others, are confused and want answers." 

Police said Livelsberger, 37, was shot in the head in what police believe was a self-inflicted gunshot prior to the detonation of the vehicle. He was identified by his tattoos, credit cards and a military identification found with him. 

Livelsberger was a U.S. Army special operations soldier who had several addresses associated with him and was on leave from Germany, where he was serving with the 10th Special Forces Group.
