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.

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.

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.

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.
