Pity poor Dricus du Plessis, the blameless pariah of UFC 319
Dricus du Plessis got about six words into his first answer to the first question at Thursday's pre-fight press conference to promote Saturday's UFC 319 in Chicago. Then the boos shut him down. This poor guy. We don't say that often about the reigning champion in any combat sport. But my god, the look on his face at first. After a few seconds of this he managed to roll with it, laughing it off and letting the crowd have its fun. But those first moments? When he realized the crowd in Chicago was apparently all the way in the corner of undefeated challenger Khamzat Chimaev and passionately aligned against him? My friends, there was a look of surprise and a little bit of pain on the man's face. And when he decided to set the mic down and see just how committed to this bit the press conference crowd really was, it went nearly a full minute before UFC CEO Dana White spoke up to break the spell. If you're DDP in that moment, don't you have to wonder exactly what it is you ever did to these people? Was it winning his first six UFC fights — five of them inside the distance — before claiming the 185-pound title? Was it beating Sean Strickland twice with a submission win over Israel Adesanya, arguably the best middleweight of the last 10 years, sandwiched in between? Was it continually showing up when called upon, facing all comers and generally refraining from embarrassing the sport the way a few of its most established stars have? Maybe his crime is much simpler than that: He's not Khamzat Chimaev. You might not think that Midwestern fight fans would be all-in for a Chechen boogeyman with an Abe Lincoln beard, but they are. The same appears to be true for much of the UFC fan base as a whole. People love this man of few words, about 25% of which are some combination of 'smash' and 'brother.' He shows up with this malevolent grin, like the neighborhood's most worrisome kid getting ready for another wonderful day of pulling the legs off insects. Every person his eyes fall upon, it's like he's automatically doing the math in his head to determine what it would take to lift them off their feet and move them somewhere unkind. Of course fight fans go for that. How could they not? And the fact that he's felt like a champ in waiting for the last several years only increases the gleeful anticipation now that he's on the eve of finally getting his shot. But poor, poor DDP. All he's done is show up and win and still we refuse to believe in him. Every fight it's the same story. OK, we tell ourselves, he might have won the last one. But this one? Surely this is where it stops. Then he hurks and jerks his way to another victory while looking like an alien who's still learning to work the controls on his human suit and we tell ourselves that's all well and good but the next time he won't be so lucky. But this time. Against the terrifying and undeniable force that is Khamzat the Cruel. This time he's in for it, man. We're sure of it. All of which should force us to stop and ask, purely as a fun little thought experiment: What if that's wrong? What if the guy who's cashed as an underdog in three of his last four fights goes out there on Saturday night and does it again? For one thing, it'll crush the spirits of a lot of those gleeful boo-birds who showed up to the press conference. It will also give him victories over every middleweight we've ever branded as 'elite' since the end of the Anderson Silva era. Maybe (just maybe) it will even force us to treat the man with some damn respect. Because, really, what will there be left to say? What could we possibly hate on him for then? The MMA world is looking at him right now like he's a cow being marched off to a highly entertaining ritualistic sacrifice. If he turns out instead to be a bull that gores his way to bloody freedom, wouldn't we then have to admit that we were wrong? I know we hate doing that. But I just don't see any other choice if du Plessis leaves Chicago with the UFC middleweight title still part of his carry-on luggage. Those same people who dedicated a minute of their lives to shutting the man down with boos on Thursday will owe him an ovation that's at least twice as long if he's still standing on Saturday.

Bob Odenkirk Still Does His Own Stunts in 'Nobody 2' After His Heart Attack — But There's One Big Rule (Exclusive)
NEED TO KNOW Bob Odenkirk speaks to PEOPLE exclusively in the video series My Life in Pictures In his new action-comedy Nobody 2, sequel to the 2021 hit Nobody, the Emmy winner does his own fighting Other stunts, he says, are off the table: 'They don't let me fly through the air' Yes, Bob Odenkirk does his own stunts. Well, almost all of them. 'I do my own fighting. But they don't let me fly through the air," reveals the 62-year-old actor-producer in PEOPLE's My Life in Pictures video series, while discussing the sequel to his 2021 action-comedy Nobody. The powers that be behind Nobody 2 (in theaters today) are 'not dumb,' he quips, when it comes to stunts like high falls or being attached to wires. 'I've had a heart attack,' says Odenkirk. 'I am 62.' It was before that 2021 heart attack, a near-fatal incident on the set of his hit drama Better Call Saul, that Odenkirk decided to take on the action genre with Nobody's director Ilya Naishuller and writer Derek Kolstad. 'This is another strange journey from my career,' he says, looking at photos from decades in and out of the spotlight. 'I had this strange notion that I could do action. I was in pretty good shape.' Saul Goodman, he adds, was 'a character who was never quitting, clever and had a real heart driving him. And I thought, 'All I gotta do is add the fighting to it, and I'm willing to train.' So I trained for years and I found some people who were foolish enough to back me at Universal Studios. And we made a 'big-little' film called Nobody.' Its sequel, from director Timo Tjahjanto, reunites the Emmy winner with costars Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, RZA and more. It adds Colin Hanks, John Ortiz and Sharon Stone to the action-packed world of Odenkirk's Hutch Mansell, a government assassin-turned-family man. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 'I love doing the stunts,' admits the comedy veteran. 'The stunts are the closest thing to sketch comedy of anything I've done because there's something about pulling it off. You do the stunt, you have the choreography, you change it, you modify it, you invent things, and then you go behind the camera and watch it. And when it works, everyone laughs.' Odenkirk is aware that Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise — one year older at 63 — 'does his own stunts,' he says. 'I know, I know. Tom, good for you.' He adds, 'I'm probably not in as good a shape as good, ol' Tom Cruise.' Nobody 2 is in theaters now. Read the original article on People

Humanoid machine face-plants at China's inaugural ‘robot Olympics'
A robot drew cheers from the packed crowd at China's inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games — until it spectacularly face-planted and had to be hauled off stage by two real people. The pratfall during Thursday's opening ceremony in Beijing offered a fitting window into the limitations of the machines during the three-day showcase of robotic ambition. More than 500 humanoid robots from 280 teams across 16 countries gathered to compete in everything from soccer to sprinting, with mixed results. 4 A humanoid robot face-plants at China's first World Humanoid Robot Games, prompting two humans to carry it off stage. ABC Teams from the United States, Germany, Japan and Brazil brought their mechanical athletes to compete alongside Chinese universities including Tsinghua and Peking, plus three ambitious middle schools. But the robots had other plans. During soccer matches, four mechanical players crashed into each other and collapsed in a tangled heap of metal limbs. In the 1,500-meter dash, one sprinting robot suddenly toppled mid-stride at full speed, drawing gasps and unexpected cheers from the crowd, who paid between $25-$80 to witness the future of artificial intelligence. 'We come here to play and to win. But we are also interested in research,' said Max Polter from Germany's HTWK Robots football team, affiliated with Leipzig University of Applied Sciences. 'You can test a lot of interesting new and exciting approaches in this contest. If we try something and it doesn't work, we lose the game. That's sad but it is better than investing a lot of money into a product which failed.' 4 While several robots took a spill and needed help getting up, many managed to recover on their own. ABC The opening ceremony mixed genuine technological achievement with comedic mishaps. Robots danced to hip-hop music, performed martial arts and played musical instruments including keyboards, guitars and drums. Some executed backflips and celebratory cheers like real athletes, while others demonstrated soccer skills and boxing moves. One robotic soccer player managed to score a goal after several attempts, causing the humanoid goalkeeper to dramatically fall to the ground in apparent despair. Another player tumbled but impressively stood up without human assistance, earning applause from spectators. Despite frequent falls requiring human helpers to right the toppled machines, many robots demonstrated the ability to recover independently. 4 A mechanical sprinter runs during the event, drawing gasps and cheers from the Beijing crowd. WU HAO/EPA/Shutterstock Organizers emphasized that these public failures provide valuable data for developing practical applications in factories and assembly lines. Soccer matches help train coordination abilities that could prove useful for collaborative manufacturing operations requiring multiple robotic units to work together, commentators explained. China is pouring billions into humanoid robotics as the nation confronts an aging population and escalating technological competition with the United States. The country has staged multiple high-profile robotics events recently, including what it claimed was the world's first humanoid robot marathon and the opening of retail stores dedicated to mechanical workers. 4 A humanoid boxer squares off in the ring, showcasing China's AI-powered robotics ambitions despite frequent mechanical mishaps. WU HAO/EPA/Shutterstock Morgan Stanley analysts noted a surge in public attendance at recent robot conferences compared to previous years, suggesting widespread Chinese embrace of what experts call 'embodied intelligence.' A government official quoted in the state-run People's Daily declared that every participating robot 'is creating history' during the event. Whether that history involves graceful athletic achievement or spectacular mechanical failures remains to be seen. With Post Wires
