Alongside Rogan, there will be Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik. In addition to these hotshots, we will have former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier, Chael Sonnen, and Anthony Smith, who will provide insights as desk analysts during the event. The pre-fight and post-fight interviews will be taken by Megan Olivi, and the fights will be called by the legendary Bruce Buffer. With all the iconic voices coming together, UFC 314 is shaping up to be monumental. Next, let’s look at some concerning news regarding Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta.

Meta stocks plunge after UFC deal

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms recently announced a multi-year partnership deal with the UFC, which is aimed at boosting fan engagement and experience through the help of advanced technology. As Zuckerberg announced that the deal was a strategic move, Meta’s shares dropped 12% within a week worrying Zuckerberg and the other higher-ups. How? Well, because of the POTUS Donald Trump’s relentless trade war against numerous nations.

While the UFC deal highlights Meta’s focus on expanding to new horizons and diversifying their offerings, this immediate financial worry has pulled all of the focus away from the deal to remain vigilant about the storm that is yet to come. Meta’s stock is currently trading at a 23% discount compared to the analyst consensus price target of $765.07.

Khabib Nurmagomedov praises NHL player Alexander Ovechkin

“I can tell you firsthand—I know how hard it is to reach 894 goals. Reaching 895 is truly special,” said Wayne Gretzky as he celebrated Alexander Ovechkin’s 895th goal, which broke his three-decade-old record. “They say records are made to be broken, but I’m not sure who’s going to score more goals than that. Gretzky was there when the Russian ice hockey player scored his 895th goal.”

This was a major celebration—a milestone every hockey player dreams of reaching, but only a few ever experience firsthand. Alexander Ovechkin is one of those few. Former lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov took to his Instagram handle to share a photo of himself with the hockey player to congratulate him on his achievement.

During the Washington Capitals’ showdown with the New York Islanders, Alex Ovechkin eclipsed Wayne Gretzky’s milestone in iconic fashion. With 12:34 left in the second period on a power play, Ovechkin capitalized on a cross-ice pass from longtime linemate Tom Wilson, unleashing a laser past fellow Russian Ilya Sorokin to etch his name deeper into hockey history. With the record broken, what are your thoughts on his career? State your opinion in the comments below.
