Jose Aldo taunts Conor McGregor on Twitter following UFC 196 loss, calls for rematch at UFC 200

UFC 196 Pre-fight Press Conference

When the 168-pound frame of UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor rolled over under the mounted barrage of Nate Diaz in the second round of their UFC 196 main event fight, and tapped out to a rear-n***d choke, one man celebrated above all others.

HIGHLIGHTS! WATCH DIAZ SMOKE, CHOKE MCGREGOR

Former featherweight champion Jose Aldo, recentlyhumiliated by a 13 second knockout at UFC 194 in December, immediately posted a taunt on Twitter:

An hour and a half later when thepost-fight press conference finally started, a reporter asked McGregor if he had a response to the tweet, as the Irishman had made a veiled reference about certain featherweight fighters "celebrating his loss."

The "Notorious" one, despite licking his wounds and giving credit to Diaz for the victory, was resolute in his disdain for Aldo:

"I just think it"s... he had an opportunity to show up here. And he didn"t. He could be sitting there... he could be sitting where Nate"s (Diaz) sitting right now. He was the first choice. He said, "anytime, any place, anywhere" and then he wasn"t anytime, any place, anywhere. Now another man gets a victory over me and he (Aldo) celebrates it. That"s the sign of a loser. That"s the sign of somebody... that"s the sign of a runner-up, you know? That"s not the sign of a champion so..."

As for whether that fight happens atUFC 200 or not, McGregor wouldn"t say. He did indicate he has no desire to take a break, despite admitting the loss is a "tough pill to swallow", and would be looking to drop back down to featherweight to defend his belt next.

"I haven"t stopped in a long time, it"s been a crazy couple of years. I"ve only really busted onto the scene and climbed all the way. But I"m still really enjoying it. I"m not tired of it. Now going back down to the featherweight division I would imagine would be what is next.I don"t know. I still feel UFC 200 is there for me."

UFC president Dana White agreed.

"I think that"s what makes sense, you know what I mean? Tonight was one of those nights... this was a fight. This was what this thing was built to be. This is what it was, you know, everything that we talked about and it lived up to everything that it was supposed to be. It was awesome."

McGregor said he does believe Aldo deserves a rematch but said the Brazilian pulls out of fights a lot, and Frankie Edgar is more reliable. Ultimately he said it will likely depend on who the fans want to see the most.

But despite those words, that doesn"t mean McGregor is done with his plans at 155 or even 170 pounds for good.

"I weighed in at 168 pounds. I didn"t make anything, I simply ate regularly so... 145 isn"t anything. It"s a cut, it"s intense but I make it and I make it every time so I think 145 will be next. I"ll defend my belt. I believe maybe Nate will fight (Rafael) dos Anjos now. I think after I defend my belt and climb myself back up I think I will get my shot at that lightweight belt once again so maybe me and Nate can do it again."

How the Kardashians are tied to O.J. Simpson"s infamous murder trial

BBC - OJ Simpson the Untold Story

Jason Merritt/Getty Images for InStyleBefore the Kardashian family had their own reality-TV show and fashion line, they were known for theirclose ties toO.J. Simpson and his slainex-wife, Nicole Brown.

Robert Kardashian, Kris Kardashian"s ex-husband and the father of Kourteny, Kim, Khlo, and Rob, was close friends with Simpsonwhen he was arrested and tried for the murder of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.

Robert Kardashian, who died in 2003, was an attorney and served on Simpson"s legal team during his 1995 murder trial.

Kim was13years oldand living with her father when Simpson moved in for a time and stayed in Khloe"s room after the killings in Los Angeles in 1994. In a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone, Kim said the experience wasbizarre.

"It was surreal, with Johnnie Cochran and Robert Shapiro and all these guys having meetings at my dad"s house," Kim said. "I definitely took my dad"s side [believing in O.J. Simpson"s innocence]. We just always thought my dad was the smartest person in the world, and he really believed in his friend."

As she"s gotten older, she said, "It"s weird. I just try not to think about it."

Khlo opened up about the experience during an episode of her show, "Kocktails with Khlo," onWednesday.

My sisters [Kourtney and Kim], who are older than me, they would be in the courtroom with my dad all the time, she said. They have more information, but even if I would get pulled over the cops hated us "cause my dad was defending O.J. Simpson.

The sister revealed the family had bad experiences with the community in LA at the time.

[Our] cars [would] get keyed, like, with guilty all over it," she said. "People would not allow us to eat at their establishments ... But cops hated us. Like if they would run our plates, we would get pulled over for anything and everything.

Ryan Murphy"s new FX show, "American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson," focuses on the murder trial and features David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian. Actors portraying the Kardashian children have appeared in a few episodes.

In one particular episode, Robert begs Simpson not tokill himself in "Kimmy"s bedroom."

According to an interview Robert did with Barbara Walters in 1996, this confrontation did occur, though Kim wasn"t in the house at the time. The interview resurfaced during a 2014 interview Kris didon "The View."

Paul wanted Kentucky to caucus, still taking Trump fire

Part 3 of the Fox News GOP presidential debate in Detroit

The Kentucky Republican Caucus on Saturday has been largely funded by Sen. Rand Paul who convinced the state party to switch from a primary format to get around a state law prohibiting someone from appearing on the ballot in multiple federal races.

Paul was seeking a second Senate term and running as a 2016 GOP presidential candidate until he suspended his campaign last month.

He tweeted a couple of photos of himself at his caucus site. A Paul spokesman says the senator will not say for whom he has cast a ballot and noted he has yet to endorse a candidate since dropping out after the Iowa GOP Caucus in early February.

In the meantime, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump sent the following two tweets Saturday morning:

Why would anyone in Kentucky listen to failed presidential candidate Rand Paul re: caucus. Made a fool of himself (1%.). KY his 2nd choice!

The other reads: To the people of Kentucky, Rand Paul didn"t want you. Not (sic) he runs back due to his presidential failure. #VoteTrump #MakeAmericaGreatAgain

OJ Simpson Frenzy Back in Full Force After Surprising Discovery

Knife Found In OJ Simpson’s Backyard

Transcript for OJ Simpson Frenzy Back in Full Force After Surprising Discovery

We move on to new questions in the murder case that captivated a nation, Los Angeles police confirming they are examining a knife found buried on O.J. Simpson"s former estate. But even if it turns out not to be the missing murder weapon, as ABC"s Matt Gutman reports tonight, the O.J. Frenzy is back in full force. Reporter: Sometimes a knife is just a knife. Tonight, law enforcement sources telling ABC news the mud-encrusted folding knife -- held by a LAPD officer for nearly two decades -- is likely not connected to the O.J. Simpson case. Still, police say they"ll continue with DNA testing on the knife. We will look at anything that we believe has any validity to either assure people that this investigation was done appropriately. Reporter: The blade, investigators believe, is too small to have savagely butchered Nicole brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1994. A lawyer for George maycott, tells ABC news a construction worker handed his client the knife in 2002 or so when he was working security on a movie nearby. Maycott allegedly alerted the LAPD about the knife, but was told the case is closed. It wasn"t. This is a double homicide that it is still open and ongoing. Reporter: The murder weapon has never been found. Police scouring the neighborhood in 1994. We did a search from the Rockingham home to the Bundy home with 150 people. We searched all the streets, the gutters, the trash, the lawns. Reporter: So, the case remains in limbo. On one side, it remains open. On the other investigators tell me, they arrested the only plausible suspect back in 1994 -- O.J. Simpson and they can"t charge him because of double jeopardy. Is Cecilia.

Dancing with the Stars 2016 a big hit

Nowa edycja "Dancing With The Stars. Taniec z Gwiazdami" już wiosną 2016

The fourth season of Dancing With the Stars for Cowley County Kids was held Feb. 28 in the Winfield High School auditorium. The annual event, sponsored by Winfield Middle School Builders Club, is a fundraiser for CASA of Cowley County.

According to DWTS sponsor Jalaine Richardson, this year"s event was almost completely organized and implemented by USD 465 students. High school student volunteers were in the dance competition, provided light and soun, or helped in other ways.

Trained dancers from local dance studios partnered with untrained dancers to compete during one dance. Featured dancing partners were Shelley Morin and Cameron Dennett; Chelo Curtis and Xavier Morris-Lolar; Isaiah Mahon and Mackenzie Minner; Kara Eastman and Rigan Stoll; Sara Minton and Adam Rush; Skylar Markley and Steele Sarnacki; Olivia McClung and Jacob Byerley; Keaton Biddle and Scott Vilayphone; Harper Bartell and Drake Hill; and Kaylie Aikins and Brett Roark. Dancers from The Edge Dance Company and WHS foreign exchange student Chia Mejia also entertained.

Emcees were Mandy Maples and coach Leland George.

"The emcees were hilarious," said Richardson.

Three judges, Jay Tate, David Hammer and Lynn Gerber, gave the dancers feedback and rated the couples on a scale from one to ten. Audience members participated in the voting, as they made their choices through text on their phones. First, second and third places were awarded along with People"s Choice (most audience votes). Refreshments were served as the results were calculated.

Mary Olson Beach also provided a video presentation of kids who had found permanent homes from foster care, thanks to CASA.

This year"s event raised $1,700 with all proceeds going to CASA of Cowley County to assist foster children through the court system.

"This was up over $500 from last year"s show," Richardson said. "The People"s Choice was done differently this year, which generated a lot of money.We had intermission after all dancers performed, and people voted with cash in jars for People"s Choice. It was amazing!"

Buried Knife Found Outside OJ Simpson Estate

LAPD: Knife Found On OJ Simpson’s Former Property | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC

Once again, a crazy story revolving around the O.J. Simpson Murder has emerged. As reported by TMZ, aconstruction worker found a knife buried on the perimeter of the former O.J. Simpson Estateestate several years ago and turned it into a LAPD officer he saw on the street.

The knife is a folding buck knife.

Sources within LAPD told TMZ that the officer who worked in the traffic division was off duty at the time, working security for a movie shoot at a house across the street on Rockingham. The officer took the knife home and kept it.

In late January of this year, after the officer retired, he contacted a friend who worked in LAPDs Robbery Homicide Division. The officer told the friend about the knife and said he was getting it framed to put on his wall. He wanted his friend to get the DR (Departmental Record) number for the Nicole Brown Simpson/Ronald Goldman murder case, which he planned on engraving in the frame.

The friend was indignant, and told his superiors. The brass was outraged and demanded that the retired officer turn the knife over, which he did.

Sources say the knife is currently being tested for hair and fingerprints. It will be moved to the Serology Unit next week, where it will be tested for DNA and other biological evidence.
