Awkward on-air moment as Khabib Nurmagomedov snubs CBS Sports host's handshake
Image Source: Getty Images During the 2025 Champions League final, something unexpected happened on live TV. UFC superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov kindly declined a handshake from CBS Sports anchor Kate Scott, which was captured after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defeated Inter Milan 5-0. Khabib's decision was rooted in his Muslim faith, and both his team and Scott also pointed out that his lack of a handshake was different from celebrating with the PSG players after the match. Khabib Nurmagomedov's respectful refusal sparks debate In June 2025, the Champions League final took place at the Allianz Arena in Germany and PSG won 5-0 over Inter Milan. As usual, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and host Kate Scott led the coverage of the game on CBS Sports.. After the match, Khabib Nurmagomedov and streamer IShowSpeed joined them on the field. Khabib happily shook hands with the male hosts but gently declined Scott's handshake, placing his hand on his chest instead. This is because, as a devout Muslim, his faith does not allow touching unrelated women. Scott apologized on air and kept things friendly. On X, some fans praised Khabib, with one saying, 'Khabib stayed true to his beliefs, respect.' Others thought he could have greeted Scott better, as one user noted, 'He didn't even look at her at first.' The moment got people talking about faith and respect. Kate Scott's professionalism shines through Kate Scott stayed calm and professional despite the awkward moment, winning fans' hearts. She quickly said sorry on air and moved the talk back to PSG's big win, their first Champions League title. Khabib, a huge PSG fan, was thrilled to be there with his friend, UFC fighter Islam Makhachev. They even took pictures with PSG player Achraf Hakimi and the trophy.

In 2020, UFC fighter Cynthia Calvillo said Khabib doesn't train directly with women because of his beliefs, but he still shares tips kindly. Scott's smooth handling of the situation kept the show fun and focused on football. The Champions League final was a huge night for PSG, but Khabib's moment with Scott got everyone's attention. His faith as a Sunni Muslim guides him to avoid physical contact with women he's not related to, as noted by Muslim cultural sources.

The headlining bout was abruptly canceled on Saturday night, May 31, after Barber suffered a medical emergency moments before walking to the Octagon. According to the UFC broadcast team, confusion erupted after the final pre-fight promo aired and neither fighter made the customary walkout. Moments later, UFC officials confirmed Barber had experienced a medical issue in the locker room. The scheduled flyweight bout was called off, and Barber was transported to a local hospital for evaluation.

Barber missed the flyweight limit by 1.5 pounds during weigh-ins, the first time in her UFC career she failed to hit the target. Blanchfield declined to commit to an immediate rescheduling of the fight. She instead encouraged Barber to consider a permanent move to the bantamweight division.

Resident Alien Season 4 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Alan Tudyk and Sara Tomko's mystery series
Resident Alien Season 4 OTT Release Date: After months of waiting and plenty of fan speculation, Resident Alien is finally returning for its fourth season, and things are getting weirder, darker, and funnier than ever. If you've been following the story of the alien-turned-doctor Harry Vanderspeigle and his bizarre adventures in the small Colorado town of Patience, get ready to buckle up. The fourth chapter kicks off on Friday, June 6, 2025, airing at 11 PM ET/PT on Syfy and USA Network, with new episodes landing on Peacock a week later. Indian viewers can stream Resident Alien Season 4 on JioHotstar starting June 7. Previously, in patience... Season 3 left viewers hanging on multiple fronts. Harry, played with brilliant awkwardness and charm by Alan Tudyk, was trying to figure out his role on Earth. He had already aborted his original mission to destroy humanity (thankfully), but that didn't mean Earth was safe. By the finale, things were getting truly alien. We met Harry's half-alien daughter, Bridget, and watched as they both were abducted by the Greys and taken to their Moonbase. Meanwhile, back on Earth, things were unravelling. A sinister new alien species, the Mantids, made their presence known, and one of them had shapeshifted into a doppelgänger of Harry. Yes, there were now two Harrys in Patience, and the wrong one was walking around pretending to be him. Asta, Harry's closest human ally (Sara Tomko), had her own emotional rollercoaster. Her relationship with her father, Dan, and her own sense of identity were tugging at her deeply. D'Arcy, still recovering from physical and emotional wounds, was caught in her own web of regret and vulnerability. Meanwhile, Sheriff Mike and Deputy Liv continued being the unlikely, low-key MVPs of the town's law enforcement even as more strange things began happening around them. What's coming in Season 4? Resident Alien Season 4 doesn't waste time. It opens right where Season 3 ended, Harry and Bridget are prisoners on the Greys' Moonbase. They're being studied, interrogated, and ultimately forced to reckon with the larger alien threat looming over Earth. Harry manages to escape, of course, he's too clever not to, but Earth has changed in his absence. Back in Patience, the Mantid, posing as Harry, has been causing havoc. This new enemy is smarter, deadlier, and utterly devoid of Harry's fumbling humanity. As the real Harry returns, he's faced with an impossible task: convince the town that he's the real alien doctor and stop the Mantid before it does something irreversible. At the heart of the season, though, is still Harry's evolution. He's not the alien assassin he once was. He's someone, something, that cares. And that empathy will be tested like never before. Meet the cast and characters Alan Tudyk remains the heart and soul of the show alongside Sara Tomko, as Asta, who grounds the show emotionally. The returning cast includes Alice Wetterlund as the resilient D'Arcy, Corey Reynolds as Sheriff Mike, Elizabeth Bowen as the ever-curious Deputy Liv, Levi Fiehler as Mayor Ben, and Judah Prehn as the ever-sceptical Max. Stephen Root, known for roles in Barry and Office Space, is joining the mix this season as Harry's alien 'father'.
