Jon Jones Appears To Take Shots At Khabib Nurmagomedov Following UFC 254

“Until I take that heavily crown, I grant you the spot. Enjoy Champ,” Jones wrote on Twitter. “15 world titles, numbers don’t lie.”

Jones’ perceived animosity stems from the belief among many UFC fans that Nurmagomedov’s most recent win solidifies him as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

UFC president Dana White said as much prior to Nurmagomedov’s fight against Justin Gaethje: “If he beats Justin on Saturday, I think he’s the number on pound-for-pound fighter in the world and on his way to GOAT status.”

“I want to congratulate Khabib for an outstanding career. I know he made his father along with millions of fans around the world incredibly proud today. May God continue to bless him on his journey,” he continued to say on Twitter. “Definitely a powerful moment, but my logic is definitely not clouded.”

After his fight, Nurmagomedov announced his retirement from fighting: “This is my last fight, there’s no way I’m going to be back without my father,” he said, referring to the passing of his father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, who passed away earlier this year after a battle with COVID-19.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
