With cameras not allowed at former President Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York, live news blogs are coming into their own as an important news tool

Hello, friends. Welcome to game number 80. And it's another must-win game
This is the UFC 300 live blog for Alex Pereira vs. Jamahal Hill, the middleweight title fight this Saturday in Las Vegas. One of the most remarkable stories in MMA the past few years, Pereira is one of only nine fighters to ever hold gold in two UFC divisions, despite only joining the promotion in 2021. The former Glory kickboxing champion won the middleweight title over Israel Adesanya in 2023, and then after losing the belt in their rematch, moved up to light heavyweight wheere he was able to...
This is the UFC 300 live blog for Weili Zhang vs. Yan Xiaonan, the strawweight title fight this Saturday in Las Vegas. A two-time strawweight champion, Zhang is currently the No. 1 pound-for-pound female fighter in the world according to the MMA Fighting Global Rankings. Originally winning the title with a dominant performance against Jessica Andrade, Zhang lost the belt to Rose Namajunas just one fight later. She then reclaimed the belt by dominating Carla Esparza at UFC 281 and successfully...
This is the UFC 300 live blog for Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway, the “BMF” title fight this Saturday in Las Vegas. One of the most exciting fighters to ever step into the cage, Gaethje solidified his action-fighter legacy by claiming the vacant “BMF” title with a knockout win over Dustin Poirier in their rematch at UFC 291. That win was supposed to set Gaethje up for a lightweight title shot against Islam Makhachev, but when the UFC came calling to fight Holloway at UFC 300, “The Highlight”...

One of the most...
This is the UFC 300 live blog for Jiri Prochazka vs. Aleksandar Rakic, the featured prelim fight this Saturday in Las Vegas. Making his UFC debut in 2020, Prochazka immediately made waves with a pair of highlight reel knockout wins over Volkan Oezdemir and Dominick Reyes. That earned Prochazka light heavyweight title shot against Glover Teixeira at UFC 275, and he was able to capitalize, submitting Teixeira in the final minute of one of the greatest fights of all time. A shoulder injury forced...
This is the UFC 300 live blog for Holly Holm vs. Kayla Harrison, the featured women’s bantamweight prelim fight this Saturday in Las Vegas. Already an International Boxing Hall of Famer, Holm’s future seems destined for the UFC Hall of Fame as well. The former women’s bantamweight champion became a household name with her knockout win over Ronda Rousey in 2015, as has been a main event staple ever since, but at 42, it’s fair to question how much “The Preacher’s Daughter” has left in the tank. A...
