Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 07 Episode 09 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a bright and sunny Tuesday morning 10 October 2023. Happy Fiji Day! Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. At the RWC2023 in France: · Australia · Portugal · Tonga · Romania · Japan · Scotland · Samoa · Georgia · Italy and · Uruguay have all gone home, so with the exception of Australia, Samoa and Japan, shouldn’t they form the basis of a global Tier Two comp? You could group the Europeans together in one pool – Portugal, Romania, Georgia and Italy with Scotland, and have Tonga, Uruguay pooled with Chile, Canada and USA. Meanwhile, Australia, Samoa and Japan join Fiji, Argentina and New Zealand in one pool, while Ireland, Wales, France, England and South Africa play in another pool in a Tier One comp. The top two from each pool clash in the semi-finals and the bottom pool finishers each year are relegated from Tier One and the Tier Two pool winners are promoted. Come on World Rugby – how about it? In rugby league: Panthers co-captain Isaah Yeo beat a red-hot field of premiership teammates to win the club’s best-and-fairest award on Wednesday night. Yeo won the Merv Cartwright Medal ahead of fellow co-captain Nathan Cleary, star centre Stephen Crichton and gun fullback Dylan Edwards. The Best and Fairest Award Winners at the Storm: Xavier Coates won the Cameron Smith Medal, at the New Zealand Warriors - Shaun Johnson won the Simon Mannering Medal, Newcastle Knights - Kalyn Ponga took home the Danny Buderus Medal and at the Sharks – Blayke Brailey won the Paul Gallen Medal. In Football: It took nearly three months – and they made plenty of magic in that time – but their bubble finally burst and it turns out Inter Miami can in fact lose with Lionel Messi on the field. After missing four games with a muscular issue, Messi returned to face FC Cincinnati at home, logging 35 minutes off the bench, but for the first time since he donned their pink kit back in late July, Messi could not hustle up any magic, and watched on helplessly as Cincy won 1-0. And with that, the Inter Miami long-shot quest to qualify for the Audi 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs ground to an inglorious end on a rainy South Florida night. In Combat sports: “This is my time and my division now,” says undefeated Aussie Champion, Tim Tszyu, as he finally gets a chance to claim and officially get his hands on the WBO Super Welterweight World title, fighting against American Brian Mendoza on the Gold Coast this Sunday afternoon. In SportsBiz: Paul Pogba – remember his crazy hairstyles at Man U? Well he was suspended in September by Juventus after returning a doping test with unusually high levels of testosterone in August. Pogba requested for the sample to be analysed again in the hope there had been an error, but the secondary analysis also returned a positive result. So Mr. Pogba is now facing a four-year ban and the cancellation of his Juventus contract. Following his initial suspension, his salary had been cut to US$44,500 from US$10.5Million a year - now that’s what I call a haircut! And that’s a wrap!

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 07 Episode 08 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a bright and sunny Monday morning 09 October 2023. Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Results from the last round of pool games at the RWC2023 in France: · Fiji 23-24 Portugal · Tonga 45-24 Romania · Japan 27-39 Argentina · Ireland 36-14 Scotland · Samoa 17-18 England · Wales 43-19 Georgia · France 60-7 Italy · New Zealand 73-0 Uruguay So the RWC2023 quarter-finals are: · Sun Oct 15 2AM Q-F1: Wales vs Argentina in Marseille 6AM Q-F2: Ireland vs New Zealand in Paris · Mon Oct 16 2AM Q-F3: England vs Fiji in Marseille 6AM Q-F4: France vs South Africa in Paris In rugby league: Penrith star fullback, Dylan Edwards has been added to the Kangaroos squad for the Pacific Championship in the wake of Josh Addo-Carr copping a two-game suspension for his involvement in a brawl at the Koori Knockout last week. Australia will play Samoa on October 14 and New Zealand on October 28. In Football: At Kenilworth Road, Micky van de Ven’s first goal for Ange Postecoglou, soon after the interval, clinched unbeaten Tottenham’s sixth win in eight league games, to sit two points clear, top of the EPL ahead of second placed Manchester City, who play title rivals Arsenal today. In Combat sports: Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico and now fighting out of Las Vegas, Brian Mendoza (22-2, 16 KOs) scored one of this year’s biggest upsets in April with a sensational one-punch knockout in round seven of the previously unbeaten Sebastian Fundora, solidifying his status at 154 pounds and capturing the interim WBC title. But undefeated Aussie Champ, Tim Tszyu says, “This is my time and my division now.” In SportsBiz: From January 2021 to July 2023, Saudi Arabia spent at least US$6.3Billion on sports, according to data from The Guardian. And what is evident is that the Arab Kingdom isn’t just targeting mainstream sports like football, boxing and golf, but investing in almost every code you can imagine – from motorsports to horseracing, mixed martial arts to handball and tennis to chess. WWE wrestling events have been held in the nation since 2014, while the Saudis have even turned their attention to winter sports, reviving the Asian Winter Games that have been dormant since 2017, with a promise to host it in 2029. When money is no object, even the weather isn’t a problem. And that’s a wrap!

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 07 Episode 07 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a bright and sunny Sunday morning 08 October 2023. Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Results from the last round of pool games at the RWC2023 in France: · Samoa 17-18 England in Lille · Wales 43-19 Georgia · France 60-7 Italy · New Zealand 73-0 Uruguay Ireland and Scotland are playing at the moment with Ireland just in front. So the RWC2023 quarter-finalists so far are: Wales France and New Zealand confirmed. Tomorrow, it’s Japan vs Argentina in Nantes followed by Tonga tackling Romania in Lille and at 7AM in Toulouse the Flying Fijians grapple with Portugal. Wales has qualified top of Pool C for the quarter-finals. Fiji needs one point against Portugal to confirm second place. If Fiji gets no points from the match, Australia will qualify for the quarter-finals as runners-up. In rugby league: “On behalf of the WWE, congratulations to the Penrith Panthers, once again winning the NRL premiership — that’s three in a row.” “The three peat is complete. You are the undisputed champion of the NRL. With such a historic achievement, the WWE thought, we need to do something really special for such a historic team.” “So what we’ve done is we’ve gone out and got the first-ever, custom-plated NRL WWE Championship belt specially for the boys. It’s on its way to you lads now,” Australian WWE superstar Grayson Waller. The Dally M Five-eighth of the Year, Ezra Mam is set to stay at Red Hill in a huge boost for the Broncos, with The Courier Mail reporting Mam has been offered a new four-year deal at A$750,000 a season, up from A$250,000 this year. In Football: Latest EPL results: Tottenham 1-0 Luton, Chelsea 4-1 Burnley, Everton 3-0 Bournemouth, Fulham 3-1 Sheffield United and Man U 2-1 Brentford. Scott McTominay was asked what his Manager had said to him as he prepared to come on as an 87th-minute substitute against Brentford. "It was very loud," said the midfielder. "The fans were roaring us on so I couldn't hear fully. He probably said something like: 'Go on and score'." Informed of this half an hour later, Erik ten Hag couldn't resist an amused smile. McTominay was wrong. "I said score two goals," said the Dutchman. Scott McTominay's introduction was a last desperate throw of the dice as United were about to suffer their third home defeat and experience three home league losses in a row for the first time since 1977. McTominay scored two in stoppage time for the 2-1 win. Finally, our SportsBiz tribute to MJ: Michael Jordan is now worth US$4.7Billion, ranking him as one of America’s 400 richest people. Now 60, MJ first stepped onto an NBA court in 1984 as a 21-year-old rookie and over 15 NBA seasons, earned US$94Million. But his lifetime product sponsorship deals with the likes of McDonald’s, Gatorade and Nike set the platform for superstar athletes today - his latest yearly royalty cheque from Nike raked in US$260Million. In August, MJ sold his majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets for US$3Billion - the second highest sale price in NBA history and more than 17 times the team’s value when he purchased it in 2010.

While Charlo got US$1.5M guaranteed and 40% of the PPV share, say US$4.5M for running all night. Finally, only in the Solomon Islands: Honiara is just a month out from hosting the biggest sporting event in the region, but controversial contracts have overshadowed the Pacific Games. The latest one being - a multimillion-dollar contract to supply toilet paper was awarded to – wait for it - a barbershop. "It's hard to see how a barbershop gets a contract and it's prompted people to ask who the other bidders were," Youth activist Regina Lepping told Pacific Beat. And that’s a wipe, I mean a wrap!

Speaking to their fans the next day, Coach Ivan Cleary, credited his team and thanked the fans for their support: “We want to be a source of community pride. I just can’t believe how many smiling, happy faces I saw last night at the ground,” Cleary said. “You guys are very lucky to have this team, these guys are awesome. I feel very fortunate to be able to lead these guys. The community of Penrith and all our Penrith crew, that’s what got us home.” Would the result have been the same if that Grand Final had been played at Suncorp? In Football: UEFA Champions League games today: Manchester United hosted Galatasaray in fact they lost to them, Bayern Munich beat Copenhag, Lens vs Arsenal, Napoli host Real Madrid, PSV vs Sevilla, Inter vs Benfica and also this morning, Leipzig are at home to defending Champions Manchester City.

Fiji has +7 dif for 10 points and so must beat Portugal next to make the quarter finals.   The Max points Wales can achieve is 19 points with a bonus point win over Georgia next Sunday.

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 06 Episode 83 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a bright and sunny Saturday 30 September 2023. Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. So we start with RWC2023: The All Blacks scored 14 tries with Aaron Smith grabbing three as they trashed Italy 17-96 in Lyon this morning. Japan’s 28-22 win over Samoa yesterday means Japan is still alive for a quarterfinal and it will come down to their do-or-die game against Argentina next (did I say Italy?), Manu Samoa has to beat England. Meanwhile, Simon Raiwalui has named his strongest Flying Fijians side to googaloo Georgia tomorrow morning. Other key games tomorrow: Australia to pancake Portugal and Tonga to toogaloo South Africa. In Rugby League: As usual, the NRL Dally M Team of the Year is stacked full of Pacific Islanders. This 2023 team is 69% PIs starting with: 1 Kalyn Ponga, 2 Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and 3 Jamayne Isaako, 4 Stephen Crichton and 5 Herbie Farnworth, 6 Ezra Mam, 7 Shaun Johnson, 9 Harry Grant, 8 Payne Haas and 10 Addin Fonua-Blake, 11 Liam Martin and 12 David Fifita and 13 Patrick Carrigan. In Football: Former Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos was the victim of a horrifying home invasion while he was away on UEFA Champions League duty with Sevilla last week. The 37-year-old, was playing against French side Lens in the premier European competition when thieves broke in, bypassing the security alarm system at his home in an estate in southern Spain, before 'terrorising' his four young children and their two nannies. In Combat sports: Canelo Saul Alvarez predicts that he will win his undisputed Super Middleweight fight against Jermell Charlo on Sunday – “It’s going to be a great fight but I’m going to win, for sure – I feel it,” he said with a smile. “I want to show him why I’m here. Why I’m one of the best.” And in Boxing Breaking News: The Gypsy King versus Ukrainian Warrior fight has finally been confirmed for megamillons more on that tomorrow. Only in the USA: If you thought the Coach Prime hype would be crashing back down to earth after last week’s 42-6 loss to Oregon, have I got news for you! With No. 8 USC visiting Colorado on Saturday, Boulder is once again the Hollywood of college football. LeBron James, Matthew McConaughey and Jay-Z top a growing list of celebrities rumored to be attending the game — Deion Sanders said the number is probably three times higher than what’s being reported. The game will air on Fox’s coveted “Big Noon Saturday” slot and could break a Pac-12 viewership record. The University of Colorado sold out of all tickets for the entire season for the first time in history, and is one of the hottest tickets in college football period. And that’s a wrap!

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 06 Episode 82 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a bright and sunny Thursday 28 September 2023. Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  So we start with our world famous tips for RWC2023 games this weekend: Uruguay to uluru Namibia, Samoa to samurai Japan, New Zealand to upthewahs Italy, Chile to bongo Argentina, Fiji to googaloo Georgia, Scotland to sasamaki Romania, Australia to pancake Portugal and Tonga to toogaloo South Africa. In Rugby League: Newcastle Knights superstar Kalyn Ponga has stormed home to win the 2023 Dally M Medal from NZ Warriors veteran Shaun Johnson by just one point. Ponga earned the maximum six points in Round 26 and with the big contenders rested in Round 27, it was enough to overhaul Johnson for the win. “It’s a pretty crazy feeling standing up here in front of so much talent… I feel honoured, humbled and very lucky,” Ponga said. In Football: Manchester United cruised into the League Cup fourth round with a 3-0 win against Crystal Palace yesterday, following Saturday’s narrow Premier League victory at Burnley. Their second successive win eases the pressure at least a little on Erik10 and his players, who have been under fire after a disappointing start to the season. In SportsBiz: More Messi Magic - FIFA is planting roots in the US, specifically in South Florida, capitalizing on a hot market stoked by Lionel Messi. Even the Argentina Football Association is building an official training facility near Miami Beach that would serve as its headquarters in the US. Now, FIFA is moving more than 100 jobs from its headquarters in Switzerland to Florida, to house the organization’s legal, audit, compliance and risk management teams. The move makes sense for FIFA, which has big business in North America over the next few years, with US, Canada and Mexico co-hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026, the revamped FIFA Club World Cup will take place in the US and the US and Mexico’s joint bid for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 will also likely be selected. Either way, FIFA will be spending a lot more time stateside — and Miami will continue to be the soccer capital of the US for the foreseeable future. In Combat sports: Australia’s Tim Tszyu says Jermell Charlo is not on the same level as world boxing’s other undisputed champions and will learn that in spectacular fashion this Sunday – when he gets knocked out by Canelo Alvarez. Charlo is moving up two weight divisions to try and dethrone undisputed Super Middleweight king Alvarez. Tszyu’s prediction is in line with Hall of Famer Oscar De La Hoya, yet at odds with legendary US coach Freddie Roach -- who told reporters in Las Vegas overnight he sees Charlo earning an upset KO.

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 06 Episode 81 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a bright and sunny Wednesday 27 September 2023. Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. At the Rugby World Cup 2023: Vaea Fifita of Tonga is suspended for four games after appearing before an independent Judicial Committee in Paris this morning, for his red card in Tonga’s RWC2023 game against Scotland in Nice on Sunday, for dangerous charging into ruck or maul. The independent Judicial Committee was chaired by Brenda Heather-Latu of Samoa, joined by former international players Leon Lloyd of England and Mike Mika of Samoa. In Rugby League: The NRL grand final teams are in with Penrith’s Ivan Cleary and Brisbane’s Kevin Walters deciding on their sides for the decider at Accor Stadium on Sunday. The Broncos have overcome several injuries scares, with Reece Walsh, Herbie Farnworth and Adam Reynolds all cleared to play. Meanwhile, Jarome Luai will soon have to choose between his beloved Panthers or moving to greener pastures. The two-time premiership winning No. 6 will hit the open market in November, with rival Clubs already lining up to sign him. Penrith have reportedly told Luai they can only afford to offer him A$800,000 per season, but the 26-year-old could attract long-term offers around A$1.2Million per season. And in Football: Taking into account, all match results from last season across all competitions, pre-season results and the current season after last weekend's results, a supercomputer has predicted how the 2023/24 Premier League will pan out as follows: Manchester City to win a fourth consecutive league title, with Liverpool finishing eight points behind in second, with Tottenham and Arsenal are tipped to finish third with Newcastle rounding out the Champions League spots. In SportsBiz: Fox appears to be choosing live college sports over scripted entertainment after ending its five-year, billion-dollar run with the WWE. In October 2024, WWE’s Friday night showcase “SmackDown” will transition from Fox to USA Network under a reported five-year, US$1.4Billion deal with NBCUniversal, which Fox had been paying US$205Million a year for the rights. In Combat sports: Top Rank CEO Bob Arum claims that former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is a bigger threat to Tyson Fury compared to his past fights with Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora. Ngannou is set to face the WBC World Heavyweight Champion in Saudi Arabia on 28 October in what will be his professional boxing debut. "Absolutely this is a more dangerous fight!" Arum told Pro Boxing Fans. "Ngannou hits harder than either Chisora or Whyte, and when you’re in with a puncher like that, and you’re not in perfect shape, that’s when you can get knocked out. Arum added, “Ngannou is a tremendous puncher, probably the best puncher in the history of the UFC. This is going to be a really interesting fight. It’s going to be fun to watch.” And that’s a wrap!

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 06 Episode 80 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a bright and sunny Tuesday 26 September 2023. Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  At the Rugby World Cup 2023: While Fiji is a big chance to make the quarter-finals, Samoa must beat Japan next to stay alive for a chance at making it too, and hope that the South American rivalry will boost rugby minnows Chile against powerhouse Argentina. Meanwhile, Ben Tameifuna’s Tongan team is doing it tough in the Pool of Death. After tough losses against Ireland and Scotland, where No. 8 Vaea Fifita had his yellow card upgraded to a red, they play the South Africans next Monday morning. In Rugby League: Debate is raging over whether the Bunker should be allowed to intervene for blatant forward passes following a howler in the preliminary final where Reece Walsh threw an obvious forward pass to Selwyn Cobbo but it was missed by the on-field officials. The Bunker cannot rule on forward passes because they are considered too subjective, but the NRL is now considering changing that rule for next season. And in Football: Marcus Rashford crashed his £700,000 Black Badge Wraith Rolls-Royce near Manchester United’s Carrington base after his team’s 1-0 win at Burnley. Not to worry fans, Rashford owns three Rolls-Royces – the one involved in the crash, a £390,000 Black Badge Cullinan and a £560,000 Cullinan Blue Shadow. Meanwhile in the laid back city of Amsterdam, Ajax fans went bananas after bitter rivals, Feyenoord had taken a 3-0 first-half lead at the Johan Cruyff Arena, sparking ugly scenes from the hardcore supporters of Ajax, who lobbed flares onto the pitch, forcing the game to be abandoned on Sunday. The unrest spilt out of the stadium, as furious Ajax fans smashed into the main entrance, prompting riot police on horseback to fire tear gas to disperse the crowd. In SportsBiz: Last weekend’s Berlin marathon saw Ethiopia’s Tigist Assefa shatter the women’s world record set in 2019 - by more than two minutes to finish in 2hr 11 min 53 seconds. The Ethiopian caught the eye not only for her startling performance and finish time but also for the shoes she was sporting, which made their debut on Sunday. The Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1 - soon to be released to the general public - will retail for around £400 and are reportedly only designed to last for one race. At just 138 grams, the ADIDAS shoe comes with a new foam design with a 39mm heel and a first-of-its-kind rocker at the front of the shoe which propels the runner forward at even greater speed while expending less energy. The only downside to the shoe’s mainstream appeal is that it is only meant to last for one race. In Combat sports: Fading Kiwi-Nigerian UFC star, Israel Adesanya, pleaded guilty to drink driving at Auckland District Court yesterday morning, in relation to an incident on 19 August – three weeks before his UFC championship fight in Sydney, against American challenger and now champion, Sean Strickland. Check this out, Adesanya’s blood test result on the night was 87mls of alcohol per 100mls of blood – what??? And that’s a wrap!

Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  All the Rugby World Cup 2023 results from this weekend: Wales 40-6 Australia in Lyon this morning, but no bonus points.

The maximum Fiji can achieve is 16 points if they win both remaining games with a bonus point. Even two wins without bonus points is enough for Fiji to go through to the RWC2023 quarter-finals. The maximum Australia can achieve is 11 points. Only if Georgia beat Wales then Fiji can top the Pool if we win both our games with bonus points. In Rugby League: So at the end of another colossal NRL season, having played 24 rounds of tough uncompromising rugby league, the 17 Clubs have been whittled down to the top two - the Brisbane Broncos and the Penrith Panthers to face off in the NRL Grand Final for 2023 this weekend. And in Football: Phil Foden and Erling Haaland struck inside the first 15 minutes as Man City extended their perfect start in the Premier League to six games, five points clear at the top of the EPL despite having Rodri controversially sent-off in a fiery 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, while Manchester United snapped their losing streak by beating Burnley 1-0. In Combat sports: Since making his UFC debut in 2020, Khamzat Chimaev has always represented Sweden since moving there at the age of 18 from Chechnya, but according to Russian media, Chimaev will no longer represent Sweden, due to the burning of the Koran there in public recently and he will now represent the United Arab Emirates. In SportsBiz: Loosely described as baseball’s version of the Harlem Globetrotters, the Savannah Bananas 2023 World Tour from California to Maine, drew more than 550,000 fans and boosted their TikTok following past 7.6 million — more than the MLB.  The Bananas also have 2.1m followers on Instagram and 1.5m on Facebook, easily surpassing the New York Yankees.  And that’s a wrap!

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 06 Episode 78 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a bright and sunny Sunday 23 September 2023. Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The latest RWC2023 results so far this weekend: England 71-0 Chile in Lille, Georgia 18-18 Portugal in Toulouse, Argentina 19-10 Samoa, France 96-0 Namibia, Italy 38-17 Uruguay and we tip Ireland to trip up South Africa in Paris later this morning. Tomorrow at 3:45AM Scotland vs Tonga in Nice and at 7AM Wales vs Australia in Lyon. Wallabies Head Coach Eddie Jones said yesterday: “Every team has matches like this during a Rugby World Cup and for this young team it is this week. We’ve prepared well, are focused on what we need to do, and we’re ready to fight.” In Rugby League: The Australia PM’s XIII escaped with a hard fought 30-18 win over the Papua New Guinea PM’s XIII in Port Moresby, with Australian Head Coach Mal Meninga praising both sides post-game as well as the PNG fans, who came out in droves to support their country yesterday. “The PNG side played really well, but I’m really proud of my guys as well. Rugby league is the winner.” In the NRL Semi-finals: The New Zealand Warriors scored first against the Broncos last night, when Dallin Watene-Zelezniak finished off a slick movement from Shaun Johnson to take an early lead. But the Broncos dominated the rest of their semi-final for a 42-12 win at Suncorp, with Reece Walsh stealing the show. Yesterday, the Panthers booked a spot in their fourth consecutive grand final after thrashing the Storm 4-38 — their biggest-ever win in a final. Powerhouse winger Brian To’o bagged a hat-trick, thanks to the smarts of Nathan Cleary and effort of Isaah Yeo. In SportsBiz: The Marshall Islands — a chain of islands in the north Pacific Ocean with just 60,000 inhabitants has formed its first national soccer team. They were the last country recognized by the United Nations without a national soccer team. So now, the Marshall Islands will receive at least US1Million from FIFA for football development. And un Football: After their Clubs spent nearly US$1Billion buying new players and superstars like Neymar and Karim Benzema, the Saudi Pro League is averaging only 8,500 fans per game, a 24% increase from last year, but much lower than the 40,000 the EPL averages. In Combat sports: Ex-UFC star, Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller has been arrested again. Miller, was arrested for the twelfth time in the last 12 years following an altercation at a West Hollywood nightclub last month. By the time Police arrived on the scene, Miller had fled, but he was arrested the following night after returning to the nightclub. ‘Mayhem’ has served time for felony domestic violence, vandalism, attempted grand theft, and resisting arrest.
