Conor McGregor Teases UFC Comeback (Yet Again) Amid Skepticism: WATCH
Conor McGregor, 37, announced he's undergone drug testing, aiming to re-enter the UFC after a leg break over four years ago. Another year, another Conor McGregor comeback update. Oh well, given the Irishman's history, take it with a pinch of salt. On Tuesday, the former UFC star announced that he has undergone drug testing—an essential step toward re-entering the UFC's anti-doping pool and making a sanctioned return to the Octagon. McGregor posted a video to social media wearing only his underwear and training, as he pointed to a small bandage near his shoulder, claiming it was from his first blood test in the process of getting cleared to fight again. 'I gave my first blood test, that's the plaster on my shoulder. I am ECSTATIC! I'm in SHAPE!" he wrote in a caption accompanying the video. Conor McGregor says he's officially back in the UFC's testing pool 👀'I gave my first blood test, that's what the plaster is on my shoulder. I am ECSTATIC! I'm in SHAPE!" 🎥 @TheNotoriousMMA — Championship Rounds (@ChampRDS) July 30, 2025 In the same flurry of posts, McGregor—sporting a mohawk—shared a video of himself shadowboxing, appearing lean and well-conditioned. McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) has not fought since suffering a leg break in his second consecutive loss to Dustin Poirier—an injury that took place more than four years ago. He was expected to return against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024, but withdrew due to a fractured baby toe. Now 37 years old, McGregor (yet again) appears eager to finally make a comeback. One potential target: a rumored UFC event at the White House, teased by U.S. President Donald Trump as part of the 250th anniversary celebrations of American independence on July 4, 2026. More Headlines Outside the Cage Than In It For McGregor In recent years, McGregor has made more headlines for his legal troubles and online antics than for anything fight-related. His rap sheet includes a sexual assault liability conviction, multiple assault allegations, and a steady stream of social media controversies. Despite years of hints, promotional hype, and statements from UFC CEO Dana White, McGregor has remained far from a true return. So, is this the time McGregor finally steps back into the cage? Well, fans have grown wary after years of unfulfilled promises. So, you be the judge. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

The Summer I Turned Pretty just got its most twist-the-knife-in-your-heart episode
Weddings are supposed to bring people together, but in 'The Summer I Turned Pretty', this one is tearing hearts apart. The latest episode of the series opens with Belly and Jeremiah planning their big day, but instead of bliss, what follows is a quiet storm of broken bonds, unspoken pain, and the kind of heartbreak that lingers long after the credits and her mother, Laurel, are no longer on the same page. And if you've ever been to a place where your mother looks at you and just doesn't understand, you'll feel every second of their fallout. It's not just about the wedding. It's about growing up. About choosing a path your mum never imagined for you. About the aching silence between two people who used to be inseparable. Laurel doesn't hate Jeremiah. But she sees what Belly can't, or won't. The doubt. The history. The ghost of another boy still lingered like a shadow in every room. Conrad. Conrad, you guys!Now let's talk about him. Because this wouldn't be 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' without Conrad Fisher silently falling apart behind his perfect jawline and sad, sad eyes. He doesn't throw a fit or make things about himself. That would be too easy. Instead, he suffers in silence. The kind of silence that screams. Every glance at Belly and Jeremiah is a tiny betrayal. Every smile he forces is a heartbreak buried just beneath the the kind of pain that's almost worse than a breakup - watching the person you love choose someone else, every single day. Watching them build a life you once dreamed of, and pretending like it doesn't still kill you. That's the tragedy of unrequited love; it doesn't leave scars, it carves you the mother's pain?This episode doesn't thrive on drama, it thrives on truth. On the complex, messy, beautiful sadness of growing up and growing apart. Of watching your child become someone you don't fully recognise. Of loving someone so much, it hurts to let them go. Of knowing, they may never come not just Belly's story any more. It's her mother's. It's Conrad's. It's every person who's ever had to smile through heartbreak, or walk away when they wanted to if you're watching this week's episode thinking, 'Why does this hurt so much?' It's probably because it's supposed to. Love isn't always loud. Sometimes it's a whisper. A look across a crowded room where everything is different honestly? That kind of heartbreak hits harder than any plot twist ever latest episode of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3' is available on Prime Video. The season's finale is expected to be released on September 17.- Ends

Director Pawo Choyning Dorji interview: On Bhutanese modernity and echoes of Edward Yang in ‘The Monk and the Gun'
There's a poster of A Brighter Summer Day hanging in Pawo Choyning Dorji's home. It's a tribute to the late Edward Yang, but also something far more personal. 'The little girl in the film,' he tells me, 'Chang Chen's little sister... that little girl is my wife.' There's something almost sacred in the intimacy of this little aside during our conversation that caught me by surprise. And yet it seems quite fitting. The Taiwanese auteur's legacy of stillness, his emotional patience, and the manner in which he held memory and modernity in the same breath — all feel strikingly alive in Pawo's oeuvre of cinema. It's an inheritance Pawo carries with grace, if not intentionality. 'I never went to film school,' he says. 'I studied political science.' It was precisely this confluence — studying politics in the U.S. during the invasion of Iraq while watching his homeland, Bhutan, gently usher in a democratic transition — that sparked something deeper in him. 'American students would say, it is the duty of America to give democracy to people who don't have it... the gift of democracy,' he recalls. 'I was from a country where we were literally gifted democracy. But we didn't ask for it. We didn't fight for it. There was no revolution, no war, and yet we weren't necessarily ready for it. I don't even know if we're ready for it now.' That tension between the 'gift' and the cost, between imposed modernity and lived tradition, is the soul of The Monk and the Gun, Pawo's latest political satire. On paper, it's a farcical telling of a monk in Bhutan tasked with finding a gun during the country's first national election. But beneath the comedic conceit lies some crushing insight into how nations rich in an inner life, like Bhutan, have risked spiritual amnesia in their pursuit of 'prosperous' external systems. 'When I premiered the film in Bhutan,' Pawo says, 'people were crying. I never expected that. I thought I made a satire. But for Bhutanese audiences, it was something else. One person told me, 'This reminded us of how, in the pursuit of something we thought we needed, we lost something we already had.'' He continues, 'That's not something I would've learned in a political science class. That's something I only realised at the very end, once the audience showed me what the film really meant.' Though it's not just the political system of his homeland that Pawo interrogates. He's also reckoning with what modernity is doing to its spirit. 'If you come to Bhutan, the phallus is a very important part of our culture,' he says. 'We are a tantric Buddhist country, and everything has meaning.' In tantric thought, inhibition is the final barrier to enlightenment, and the solution seems to be more embarrassment. 'If you have water in your ears, a Bhutanese will say: put more water,' he laughs. 'You want to destroy inhibition? Put yourself in situations where you constantly feel it. You see a phallus, you feel embarrassed, you feel shy, but that's okay. Because actually, in the end, nothing exists.' Towards the end of the film, an American who arrived seeking a firearm leaves with a towering wooden phallus. 'The gun represents something foreign,' Pawo explains. 'Western, modern, but also a bringer of suffering. The phallus, on the other hand, is our tradition. This juxtaposition is no accident. Both are 'phallic, '' Pawo says with a half-smile. 'Both are masculine. But one represents fear, and the other represents freedom.' More regretfully, the one native to Bhutan is disappearing. 'Growing up, they were everywhere. But as we became more modern and Westernised, we began to feel embarrassed by them, and so they vanished. The very thing that was supposed to help us transcend inhibition became the source of it.' In Pawo's Bhutan, these symbols are never inert and ripple outward personally, politically, and metaphysically. Yet, the road to manifesting these stories onscreen is anything but seamless. The Bhutanese film industry, as he tells me, is nascent, bordering on non-existent. His Oscar-nominated 2019 debut, Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom, was shot with a single camera and no electricity. 'It was a solar-powered film,' he says, laughing. 'Even now, with more recognition, we still truck every piece of equipment in from Delhi.' Still, Bhutan offers Pawo something few other places could as a spiritual ground to stand on, even as his gaze grows more global. Recently, he contributed a segment to Tales of Taipei, a collaborative anthology film about life in the Taiwanese capital. 'In Bhutan, we roll out of bed at eight, make coffee, then discuss what to shoot that day. In Taiwan, the crew was on set at 3 or 4 in the morning. It was quite intense, but also very professional.' Still, Taiwan isn't foreign terrain for Pawo. His wife and children are Taiwanese and he calls it a second home. In fact, his entire aesthetic sits at a confluence of worlds: East and West, past and present, tradition and transformation. He cites Kore-eda for his realism, Tarantino for his audacity, and, most meaningfully, his own spiritual and creative mentor, Dzongsar Khyentse Norbu. 'He was the one who saw I was a storyteller before I knew it myself,' Pawo says. 'His films are deeper, more philosophical, and I once told him my films would be more cheesy in comparison. And he said, 'Well, if cheesy is done right, it works.'' Indeed, 'cheesy' might be the last word anyone would use to describe Pawo's films. His frames feel like paintings. His stories take their time. And his humour, like his politics, comes from deep within. Pawo tells me, 'You will never see your own eyelashes because they are so close to you' — something the Buddha once said. The thought felicitously explains why his films often turn inward, searching for what's been missed in plain sight. While the world rushes to look outward, to see farther, Pawo seems more preoccupied with what we've stopped noticing up close. Perhaps that's where the spirit of Edward Yang lingers most clearly in his films. In the tenderness to look at one's own culture, to question it without cruelty, and to hold its contradictions and absurdities with care. To see clearly. Even especially, when it's your own eyelashes in the way. The Monk and the Gun is currently available to stream on MUBI
