UFC fight library vanishes from ESPN platforms in the middle of billion dollar negotiations
And poof, it's gone.
In the middle of a tenuous television rights negotiation where the UFC is looking to get up to $1 billion dollars to broadcast their 40-plus events per year, ESPN+ pulled the rug on those looking to watch some old fights.
Nearly every UFC event from UFC 308 (Oct. 26, 2024) and prior has been completely scrubbed from both their mobile app and desktop website.

A source close to the situation believes this is a part of an ongoing technical issue rather than a maneuver against UFC or anything related to their television broadcast negotiations.

Ben & Jerry's rips Israel for ‘genocide' in Gaza amid fight with parent company Unilever
Ben & Jerry's stoked controversy on Thursday after its independent board issued a statement labeling the conflict in Gaza a 'genocide' — placing renewed strain on its already tense relationship with parent company Unilever. 'We stand with all who raise their voices against genocide in Gaza—from petition-signers to street marchers to those risking arrest,' the left-leaning ice cream maker's board said in a statement that was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. 'When humanity is at stake, silence is not an option, now is the time to speak truth to power.' Advertisement 4 Ben & Jerry's stoked controversy after its independent board issued a statement labeling the conflict in Gaza a genocide. In Pictures via Getty Images The statement marks one of the most forceful corporate condemnations of Israel's conduct in Gaza since the conflict began, and could further deepen the divide between Ben & Jerry's progressive board and the more cautious multinational that owns it. Ben & Jerry's has long used its brand to champion progressive causes. In 2021, it stopped selling ice cream in Israeli-occupied territories, citing inconsistency with its values — a move that triggered backlash, shareholder divestment and legal disputes with parent company Unilever. Though the matter was settled in 2022, a new lawsuit alleges Unilever has again tried to silence the brand's support for Palestinian rights. Advertisement Unilever on Thursday quickly moved to distance itself from the board's remarks. 'The members of Ben & Jerry's social mission board do not speak for anyone other than themselves,' a Unilever spokesperson told the Journal on Thursday. 'We call for peace in the region and for relief for all those whose lives have been impacted.' Advertisement The response is the latest indication of a longstanding and fraught dynamic between the Vermont-based brand and its London-based owner. 4 An Israeli soldier stands on a tank as it is taking position in front of the northern Gaza Strip on March 18. Getty Images Last month, Unilever said it had no intention of selling Ben & Jerry's — despite a bid by the founders of the popular ice cream brand to buy back the company. Unilever also recently threatened to cut its $5 million annual funding to the Ben & Jerry's Foundation unless it agrees to a fast-tracked audit of its donations, escalating tensions over the brand's progressive activism. Advertisement In March, Ben & Jerry's accused its corporate owner of ousting the ice cream maker's chief executive over the brand's anti-Trump political activism. When Unilever acquired Ben & Jerry's in 2000, the deal included a unique arrangement: the company's independent board retained authority over the brand's social mission and marketing. That unusual structure has led to numerous public clashes in recent years, particularly over the Israel-Palestinian dispute. 4 A woman holding a baby cries as Palestinians check the site of an overnight Israeli strike in the central Gaza Strip on Friday. AFP via Getty Images In legal filings, Unilever has criticized the board's 'decision to continue to embroil B&J's and Unilever in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one of the most divisive and polarizing topics of our time.' Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen made headlines earlier this month when he and other activists disrupted a Senate health committee hearing. As he was removed by security, Cohen shouted: 'Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US.' The latest statement comes amid renewed scrutiny of Unilever's ice cream division. Advertisement The company recently announced plans to spin off its ice cream business entirely in order to streamline operations and focusing on higher-growth areas. Analysts have noted that Ben & Jerry's activism — and the backlash it frequently generates — has added complications for the broader Unilever brand. 4 Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen was removed by Capitol Police on May 14, 2025, during a Senate Health Committee hearing on the Department of Health and Human Services budget. REUTERS Tensions between the two entities reached a boiling point in 2021 when Ben & Jerry's announced it would stop selling its products in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem — citing inconsistency with its values. Advertisement That decision prompted legal and financial consequences for Unilever, which was accused of violating anti-boycott laws in several jurisdictions. The backlash led to lawsuits, sanctions and the withdrawal of hundreds of millions of dollars in Unilever stock, according to a March legal filing by the company. In response, Unilever sold its Ben & Jerry's business in Israel to a local distributor — an effort to ensure continued sales across Israel and the West Bank. Advertisement Ben & Jerry's then sued its parent company, alleging that the sale breached the terms of the acquisition agreement and undermined the board's control over social impact decisions. The Post has sought comment from Ben & Jerry's and Unilever.

Seattle Mariners Firm In Weekly Power Rankings Despite Another Key Injury
It was not supposed to be this way for the Seattle Mariners. On paper, their starting rotation was one of, if not the best, in MLB. Now, just over the first quarter mark for the 2025 season, three members of that rotation have spent time on the injured list, with Bryce Miller the latest to join those ranks. So far, it has not done much to hurt the team's overall performance. They enter Saturday with a 24-19 record, leading the American League West by one game over the Houston Astros. Advertisement Despite the injuries, it has been a strong start to the year for the Mariners, and the latest weekly power rankings from ESPN have the team ninth in MLB, staying put from where they were in last week's rankings. "A Mariners team that enjoyed a remarkable run of health from its starting pitchers last year placed another one of their starters on the injured list Wednesday," writes Alden Gonzalez of ESPN, "when Bryce Miller was diagnosed with a bout of elbow inflammation, joining George Kirby and Logan Gilbert on the shelf. The news came on the heels of a recent four-game losing streak -- which followed an 8-2 stretch. It emphasized something we should have probably learned by now -- that nobody is going to run away with the American League West this season." Seattle has had to dig into their pitching depth to make things work in the rotation this year, but have gotten key contributions from Bryan Woo, who is emerging as a legitimate ace, and rookie Logan Evans. Advertisement Evans made his fourth career Major League start on Friday night, pitching six shutout innings against the San Diego Padres while striking out three and only walking one. He carries a 2.57 ERA across his first 21 innings at the top level of baseball. The season so far has been a good one for the Mariners. If their pitching can get much healthier down the stretch, the AL West will be theirs to lose.
