If It Bleeds ( book ) … Stephen King
“If It Bleeds, it leads,” the old news trope goes, but what if it bores? That’s the problem with this book; a set of Stephen King novellas à la Full Dark No Stars, Four Past Midnight and Different Seasons. The worst is The Life Of Chuck; a fictional biography about a man I couldn’t care less about.
The best is Rat, which seems like it’s going to be a decent story; the headline here reads something like Novelist With Flu Stuck In Cabin During Killer Cyclone; until its ridiculous title character comes into play. It’s Stephen King’s preference for the strange and supernatural that ruins this one.
Mr Harrigan’s Phone, about a boy gifting a dying “luddite” with an iPhone, plods along drearily, though John Harrigan is probably the most interesting character If It Bleeds has to offer. The silly title bit, which stars Holly Gibney and follows The Outsider, is about a shapeshifting news reporter.

video review : Maycee Barber versus Hannah Cifers at UFC Fight Night
Turn your head during the break unless you want to see Hannah Cifers disgustingly spitting saliva and blood onto a Bodyarmor towel. That also serves as a metaphor for the beating she takes, which, to her credit, doesn’t really happen until Round 2.
When it comes to size and strength, Cifers is outmatched as Maycee Barber, who also has an advantage in speed and footwork, hops about sexily landing head kicks and elbows. Once she gets Cifers down and in deep water, the shark attack begins.

audio review : Blood On The Floor ( song ) … Vee Tha Rula ( featuring Syne )
Syne sounds epic here. Assuming his parts are an original composition, I have to give him credit for presenting to the world something that has always been somewhat of a rarity; a rap song with a good chorus.
The raps themselves; two verses from frontman Vee Tha Rula; are gangsta, along with the beat, but Syne steals the limelight. “Bitch, when I squeeze,” he warns in reference to his gun, “I’ma leave the clip empty.”

video review : Nate Diaz versus Conor McGregor at UFC 202
It looks like Conor McGregor’s going to outclass and definitely outkick Nate Diaz easily during the first couple of Rounds of this rematch. That is until he starts to get tired and Diaz puts the pressure on him.
It’s a damn close fight; McGregor comes back with a second wind in the fourth; and it would be hard to argue with a decision victory for either guy. McGregor gets it though, thanks to his early domination.

At The Ruthless Billionaire’s Command ( book ) … Carole Mortimer
Neither Billionaire Gregorio De La Cruz nor the woman he’s enthralled with; a defiant beauty named Lia; are particularly likeable. He’s too pushy. He pursues her like a stalker even as his advances are angrily rejected. She’s too gullible. She eventually gives in and blames him for her caving to her own lustful temptations.
It’s up to the plot of the novel, Presented by Harlequin via Carole Mortimer, to keep the pages turning. That it does, if barely so, from the prologue, which takes place at Lia’s father’s burial; crime and corruption are underlining themes in this story; to the fairy tale epilogue, the latter bit of which is too mawkish for my tastes.

video review : Conor McGregor versus Nate Diaz at UFC 196
“There is one thing we also should consider and that is the wrestling of Nate Diaz,” Joe Rogan says after a brief exchange about stances, “His submission game is very very highly respected.” The “very/very/highly” bit makes it a ridiculous overstatement, but, as Diaz goes on to prove, the gist is correct.
Conor McGregor has the advantage on the feet; his movement and striking is on a higher level; but Diaz lands a hard punch in the second round, which flips the momentum of the fight. McGregor eventually goes in for a desperate takedown and ends up getting caught in a guillotine choke.
