What a glorious sports day we have ahead of us. It starts off with college football in the morning, playoff baseball in the afternoon, NHL all day, and then UFC 332. Does it get better than this? It does, thanks to Caesars Sportsbook and their promo code FOXNEWSDYW, which enables new users to get 10 Double Your Winnings profit boost bets. 

There are a variety of great matches on the card tonight, and picking just one to focus on would be a challenge. The main event is always the first that stands out, and that is between Natalia Silva and Wang Cong. Those two are fighting for the Women’s Flyweight title, with both hoping to claim the belt. 

Some of the other fights on the card are between Deiveson Figueiredo and Payton Talbott in the Bantamweight division. Talbott is the heavy favorite in this one and looks to use his MMA style to secure the victory. King Green and Esteban Ribovics will fight in the Lightweight division, with the younger Ribovics expected to win. 

The Welterweight battle between Roberto Soldic and Khaos Williams might be the best of the entire card. Soldic comes in with a 21-4-0 record and has been 3-1-1 over his last five matches. However, he hasn’t fought since February 2025, and this is just his fifth match since September 2021. 

Khoas Williams is looking to cause, well, chaos for Soldic. An MMA tactician, Williams is 16-5-0 in his career, with the majority of victories coming by (T)KO. His last five matches have seen him go 3-2, with the losses being via unanimous decision and submission. He is an underdog in this fight, but he has a good chance if he can take Soldic to the mat.

No matter which fight you like best, there are plenty of options with this offer from Caesars Sportsbook. Use promo code FOXNEWSDYW to earn 10 profit boost bets that will double your winnings!

Soldic vs. Williams Method of Victory

 

Wakefield's stars of yesteryear are remembered in sepia but now the class of 2026 has added glorious colour to their success after winning a previously unfathomable Super League title.

Saturday is normally a day in October when you think about College Football, but tonight, set your eyes on the ring as UFC 332 takes place in Salt Lake City. FanDuel is giving you an extra reason to tune in with a bet $5 and get $250 offer for UFC 332. 

The main event of tonight’s card is between Natalia Silva and Wang Cong. This is a flyweight match between two women to determine who will be the title holder. Originally, it was scheduled for Silva to fight a different opponent, Valentina Shevchenko, but due to injury, she was forced to leave the match and vacate the title. With it up for grabs, we will see who comes out victorious. 

Some of the fights on the undercard are just as good and worth taking a look at as well. King Green and Esteban Ribovics are fighting in the lightweight division and looking to move up the rankings.

King Green is an experienced fighter closer to the end of his career than the beginning. He is 36-17-1 for his career with a 13-6 record by (T) KO. He has also been solid with submissions, getting to a 10-3 record. He is on a four-fight winning streak with a split decision, two KO/TKOs, and one submission win. His last two matches were won in the first round. 

His opponent tonight is Esteban Ribovics. In his career, Ribovics has gone 16-3-0 with a perfect 8-0 (T)KO mark. He is also 5-1 in submissions. His last few fights have been a bit of a mixed bag, with the most recent being a win via TKO/KO in the second round in August. Prior to that, he was 2-2 over those four matches and saw himself lose via submission and split decision, as well as win one via unanimous decision and one via split decision. 

The unanimous decision for tonight is to get in on FanDuel’s offer. They are giving you a $50 bonus bet token for a $5 wager when you bet on UFC 332. Repeat that process over the next five days and you’ll earn $250 in bonus bets.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton visits patrons at Victorio's Ristorante in North Hollywood, where they held a watch party for the CNN debate between candidates Democrat Xavier Becerra and Hilton on Wednesday night. (Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times)

A provocative, sexually suggestive ad by GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton is drawing heat from his fellow Republicans while drawing millions of viewers online.

Two young women sit on a bed, with an LGBTQ+ flag in the background, with one urging the other to try a new experience.

“I can’t believe I’m doing this,” one woman says, and the other replies. “Don’t be nervous. It’s not that bad ... Just try it. Look, give me your hand. Close your eyes, and I’ll do all the work.”

She leads the hesitant woman’s hand to mark her ballot for Hilton rather than Democrat Xavier Becerra, the front-runner in the race, and says, “Now lick it,” referring to the mail ballot envelope.

Fellow Republicans as well as several Democrats denounced Hilton over the messaging.

Two members of Hilton’s GOP “Golden Ticket” on the Nov. 3 ballot lashed out about the ad’s content.

“I emphatically denounce the use of young women as a political tool,” Michael Gates, the Republican candidate for attorney general who has frequently appeared alongside Hilton at campaign events, wrote on X. “California families deserve better, and as AG, I will fight every day to protect our girls, young women, and parental rights.”

Sonja Shaw, who is running to be the next state superintendent of schools, castigated Hilton, the state Republican party and its chairwoman for promoting the ad, which had been viewed by nearly 5 million people as of Saturday afternoon.

“Shame on you ... for reposting and cheering this creepy, weird, disturbing garbage,” Shaw wrote on X. “This is a clear example of exactly why good people are walking away from the Republican Party. As a mother and someone who has fought to protect the innocence of children, this crosses a line. We have lost our way. Embarrassing.”

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Long Beach), an openly gay member of Congress, and state Democratic Party chairman Rusty Hicks also condemned the ad.

“This is a bizarre and desperate ad from a person who has attacked the LGBTQ+ community and stands with Donald Trump,” Garcia said. “Hilton is losing and more interested in AI slop than actually talking about issues Californians care about.”

Hilton acknowledged the ad has provoked strong reactions, but it underscored the foundation of his campaign — that many Californians may be put off by his party affiliation but want change given the state’s myriad problems, such as growing unaffordability, that have taken place under a Democratic lock of every statewide office and the state Legislature.

“We’re just saying, you know, just try it,” he said in an interview. “It’s a provocative and humorous way of making a point, right? Which often the best communication does.”

He also said the ad does not conflict with his beliefs about restrictions on gender-affirming care and on youth sports because those would only apply to people who are not adults.

A spokesman for Becerra, who led Hilton 58% to 33% in a recent UC Berkeley/Los Angeles Times poll, was gleeful about the rift the ad was creating among Republicans.

“MAGA is melting down over Steve Hilton’s creepy ad because they’re finally seeing him for the sellout he really is, willing to abandon his own twisted values to get ahead,” said Jonathan Underland.

However, some conservatives who were dismayed by the message stood by Hilton’s side.

Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, a Christian nationalist, called the ad “grotesque” and said it promoted lesbianism among young women, on a Facebook Live post Saturday. However, he said he still supports Hilton over Becerra. He did not respond to requests for comment.

Hilton is scheduled to speak on Monday to a chapter of the Log Cabin Republicans, an LGBTQ group, at a brewery in Palm Desert. The organization did not respond to requests for comment.

Former California GOP chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson said that while the ad wasn’t for her, she understood the campaign’s desire to expand its reach to different voters.

“Does the ad speak to me? No. He’s not going after my vote. He already has my vote. He’s trying to think of new and creative ways to make people who wouldn’t normally feel like voting for a Republican feel safe to do so,” she said. “He’s going out of his comfort zone and going for people that wouldn’t normally feel comfortable voting for him.”

Californian Fred Karger, who made history in 2012 as the first openly gay person to run for president, had mixed views about the ad, calling it shrewd yet hypocritical. And he questioned its effectiveness.

“The audience that he’s targeting there — the hipster, young hipster, lesbian audience — probably has a 1% chance of voting for him,” Karger said. “So it’s kind of a long shot. But it is a clever ad.”

The bell is about to ring, and you’re about to lock in for a full card of fights as UFC 332 comes into action tonight. Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users a chance to take a shot on one of the matches, with a $20 bet giving you $350 in bonuses when using code FOXNEWS350. 

The main fight tonight is between Natalia Silva and Cong Wang. This is a match where the books are giving Wang a bit of an edge, but not so much that you should dismiss Silva. Wang is expected to win by decision, and it is very likely to go the distance, with a -315 line for over 4.5 rounds. 

The undercard has some exciting fights as well. One that stands out is the match between Deiveson Figueiredo and Payton Talbott. Figueiredo is looking to turn this into a wrestling match and get Talbott on the ground. He has lost four of his past five matches, so he is very much in need of a win. His last loss was by submission in May, and in January, he lost by unanimous decision. 

Talbott is more of a mixed martial arts specialist, and he has a strong 11-1-0 record. Unlike Figueiredo, Talbott has a 4-1 record over his past five matches. His last two matches saw him win via unanimous decision. He lost to Raoni Barcelos between his other two wins, which were both by KO/TKO. This is his first match this year, but it is unlikely that he will be rusty, as the books have him as a heavy favorite. 

Tonight is a great UFC card, and the books want you to get in on the action. Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users a chance to gain $350 in FanCash with a $20 bet using promo code FOXNEWS350.

Chihuahua Comando is being trained for search-and-rescue work, and helping bring a warm connection with the public

Comando may be tiny, but Mexico’s national guard is giving him ⁠a very big role.

The social scene isn't just for people anymore. Pet owners are making sure their four-legged friends get in on it. CBS's Tina Kraus takes us to a hot new hangout for pups.

UFC 332 this week features a battle for the Women’s Flyweight Championship between Natalia Silva and Wang Cong. If you want to get in on the action, you have great offers from Bet365 or Fanatics to make it worth your while. 

Natalia Silva is a 5’ 4" fighter who has a record of 20-5-1 for her career. She has a 5-1 (T)KO record and a 7-2 submission record. Her last fight was in January, and it was a unanimous decision against Ros Namajunas. Actually, her past five fights have all gone the distance and been wins by decision. She is very well versed in Taekwondo, and looking to capture the title. 

On the other side of the ring is Wang Cong. She doesn’t have as many fights under her belt, but should not be underestimated. She is a striker and will look to get as many good shots in as she can. Her last match was in July and was a victory by decision. She won the previous three fights to that one in the same fashion. Look for her to turn this into a boxing match as much as possible.

This match was originally scheduled for Valentina Shevchenko to face Silva, but due to an injury, Shevchenko had to vacate the title, and now Cong gets her shot. It should be a great match despite both having less time to prepare for each other. 

To get in on the fight, bet365 is offering users a chance to bet $10 and earn $200 in bonus bets. Fanatics is also offering you a chance to wager $20 on the match and get $350 in bonus bets when you use promo code FOXNEWS350.

Mariann Budde gained national attention for calling on US president to consider immigrants and LGBTQ+ people

Rev Mariann Edgar Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington DC who gained national attention when she called on Donald Trump to “have mercy” on the country’s immigrants and LGBTQ+ community after his second inauguration, is resigning.

Budde shared in her resignation letter that she will be leaving her post on 3 June 2028 after the consecration and ordination of the new diocesan bishop.

A South Carolina mother told investigators she could not remember the last time she gave her two young daughters food or something to drink before deputies found both children dead inside their home, according to affidavits reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Justine Marie May, 31, faces two counts of homicide by child abuse in connection with the Sept. 29 deaths of her daughters at the family's home in Ladson, outside Charleston, court documents show.

Charleston County Sheriff's Office deputies responding to a welfare check allegedly encountered May outside the home crying and "speaking incoherently," according to the affidavits.

Deputies entered the home to check on the children and found both dead, the documents state.

May told detectives the previous two weeks had been a "blur" and that she could not remember when she last fed the children or gave them something to drink, according to the affidavits.

She allegedly told investigators she believed the children died because they did not eat and acknowledged that not feeding them was neglectful, the documents state. May also said she had been the only person at the home and the children's sole caregiver during the previous few weeks.

FLORIDA COUPLE ALLEGEDLY HELD FOUR CHILDREN IN TRACTOR-TRAILER CAB FOR NEARLY SIX YEARS

The affidavits describe the children as approximately 1½ and 2½ years old at the time of their deaths.

Investigators accused May of showing "extreme indifference for human life" by failing to provide her children with basic sustenance, which they alleged was a "main contributor to their death."

Separate arrest warrants were issued for each child, charging May with homicide by child abuse under South Carolina law.

The Charleston County Sheriff's Office said deputies had made separate contact with May and the children twice in August and three times in September and reported seeing no obvious signs of concern during those encounters, according to published reports.

Their last reported visit while the children were alive was Sept. 20.

The Charleston County Sheriff's Office of Professional Standards is conducting an internal review of the agency's response, while the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division's Special Victims Unit and the Department of Child Fatalities are assisting in the investigation, according to published reports.

May was booked into the Charleston County jail on Sept. 29 and remained in custody as of Friday, according to online jail records reviewed by Fox News Digital. The records list two homicide by child abuse charges.

Lamine Yamal says he feels like Superman or Spider-Man sometimes, and Spain’s fans are starting to feel the same way about him. There is something comic book hero about what the teenager is doing right now, some super power swelling inside the nineteen-year-old. For the third consecutive game he scored inside six minutes, curling in another outrageous goal as Spain completed their World Cup homecoming in Oviedo with a 3-1 win over Czechia that leaves them a single point from the Nations League quarter finals already.

And yet in a game which seemed to have been done at half-time, when Spain led 2-0 after Rodrigo Hernandez had added the second and Lamine Yamal was withdrawn, the world champions were closer to not winning than they could have imagined. Czechia, vastly improved after the break, pulled one back through Jiri Slama on 69 and then were denied an 80th-minute equaliser when Vassilis Fotias, the referee, harshly ruled out a Ryan Naderi goal – apparently for a foul on Robin Le Normand as the free-kick that led to it was swung in.

Pope Leo XIV was looking over the Chicago White Sox pitching staff on Saturday afternoon.

The White Sox beat the Cleveland Guardians 3-0 at Progressive Field to take Game 1 of the ALDS. White Sox manager Will Venable deployed a bullpen game to begin the series, and his pitching staff was fantastic.

Grant Taylor led the way with a Herculean effort, pitching the final four innings of the game in the longest outing of his career and earning a rare four-inning save. It was the first four-inning save in a postseason game since Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. accomplished the feat in 2017 against the New York Yankees in the ALCS.

In four innings, Taylor struck out six hitters and yielded just two hits. It was a rare game where the pitcher who finished the game for the winning team pitched more innings than the starter.

Hagen Smith was the opener for the White Sox, and he was cruising until he wasn’t. After retiring the first eight batters he faced, he walked three consecutive batters to load the bases.

Venable had seen enough from Smith and turned the ball over to lefty Bryan Hudson to face left-handed hitter Chase DeLauter. Hudson escaped the jam by inducing a weak flyout from DeLauter to keep the game scoreless through three innings.

However, two batters later, the game was no longer scoreless. White Sox third baseman Miguel Vargas led off the top of the fourth inning with a line-drive single to left field, and first baseman Munetaka Murakami followed with the first postseason home run of his career.

The Japanese star turned on Parker Messick’s 93-mph fastball and crushed it 440 feet into the right-field seats, giving the White Sox a 2-0 lead. Vargas and Murakami were the first two White Sox baserunners against Messick in the game.

The Guardians threatened again in the fourth inning. Venable brought in Jordan Hicks to begin the inning, and Hicks retired the first two batters he faced before walking Nathaniel Lowe.

Venable then went to the bullpen again, bringing in lefty Anthony Kay with a runner on first and two outs to face left-handed hitter Travis Bazzana.

However, Kay immediately got into further trouble. Bazzana ripped a double down the line, and Kay then walked catcher Austin Hedges to load the bases.

Despite raising the blood pressure of White Sox fans, Kay escaped the inning unscathed, preserving the 2-0 lead by getting shortstop Bryan Rocchio to fly out to right field to end the threat.

The White Sox chased Messick in the top of the fifth inning after Colson Montgomery’s single. Messick struck out six hitters while yielding two runs on four hits and two walks in 4 1/3 innings of work.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt turned to Daniel Espino with one out and a runner on first to try to keep the deficit at two, and it worked beautifully as second baseman Chase Meidroth grounded into a double play to end the top of the fifth inning.

Kay stayed in for the bottom of the fifth inning and shut down the top of the Guardians’ order with a 1-2-3 inning.

The White Sox threatened in the top of the sixth inning after Tristan Peters singled and Vargas walked. Vogt pulled Espino from the game and brought in Erik Sabrowski.

With runners on first and second and no outs, Sabrowski struck out Murakami for the first out of the inning and then induced an unconventional double play. Tommy Pham hit a deep fly ball to left field, and left fielder Ángel Martínez leaped at the wall to make a fantastic catch before the ball reached the outfield wall.

Martínez then fired the ball back to first base to double off Vargas, who was well off the bag anticipating an extra-base hit. The White Sox challenged the call, believing the ball hit the outfield wall before Martínez caught it, but the call stood.

Venable then turned to his bullpen for what ended up being the final time, bringing in Taylor, who worked a scoreless bottom of the sixth inning.

In the top of the seventh inning, the White Sox added a key insurance run. Shortstop Colson Montgomery was at the plate with catcher Kyle Teel, who had walked earlier in the inning, on first base with two outs. With left-handed pull hitter Montgomery at the plate, the Guardians’ defense was shaded toward the first-base side of the infield.

Montgomery then hit it where the defenders weren’t, hitting a weak ground ball at just 64 mph off the bat down the third-base line. Teel, who isn’t fleet of foot, scored from first base on Montgomery’s cue shot. It was a close play at the plate, but Hedges couldn’t corral Martínez’s throw from left field, giving the White Sox a 3-0 lead.

Venable left Taylor in for a second inning of work in the bottom of the seventh, and the right-hander once again pitched a scoreless frame, frustrating the raucous Guardians crowd.

After Guardians reliever Tim Herrin kept the White Sox off the board in the top of the eighth inning, Taylor did the same with an efficient bottom half.

Vogt brought in closer Cade Smith in the ninth inning to keep the deficit at three, which he did. Vogt used his top bullpen arms to keep the game close, but it didn’t matter, as the Guardians’ offense was held scoreless. The Guardians had just three hits and drew five walks in the loss.

The White Sox will look to take another game on the road on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET, while the Guardians look to even the series.
