She said: "All the respect to my opponent, I feel so great, I feel so prepared, it makes me smile because … I was there in the fight doing my best, that's what made me smile the whole time."We all knew that she was very tough," Nunes added. "I'm a very smart fighter, I saw right away that I had an advantage on the feet with her and on the ground as well."Nunes, now the first fighter to defend championships in two weight classes at the same time, has the most wins in women's UFC history, and has the longest win streak in women's UFC history."I proved it once again — I'm the best on the planet right now," she said.

They flourished, building dozens of synagogues and several yeshivas. By the 1960s, Crown Heights became increasingly Black. While other white groups left the area, the Lubavitchers stayed.But racial tensions simmered for decades.On August 19, 1991<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=when+were+the+crown+heights+riots&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS822US822&amp;sxsrf=ALeKk01MqmNF9BSbfsQxE5Y2ThY_d7dNbA:1591739188351&amp;tbm=isch&amp;source=iu&amp;ictx=1&amp;fir=ACRwlAcqDSJ7uM%253A%252C6Lm56xRqlILQuM%252C%252Fm%252F0475zd&amp;vet=1&amp;usg=AI4_-kTVpN7I8BNFbOrHldvdC_UV-7YCWg&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi92pXH2vXpAhVTVTABHVK-CLMQ_B0wAXoECAYQAw#imgrc=ACRwlAcqDSJ7uM:CLMQ_B0wAXoECAYQAw#imgrc=ACRwlAcqDSJ7uM:"></a>, Gavin Cato, the 7-year-old son of Guyanese immigrants, was struck and killed by a car in Lubavitch Rabbi Menacham Mendel Schneerson's motorcade. Rioting broke out and lasted three days.<div type="image" title="Hasidim confront police officer during riots in Crown Heights in 1991." height="683" width="1024" msid="76293171" hostid="261"></div>During the unrest, a rabbinical student was killed by Black rioters and both Jews and Blacks were injured. Jewish stores were looted, cars were set on fire, and homes were damaged.It took more than 1,800 NYPD officers to quell the rioting, which resulted in over 120 arrests and $1 million in property damage.Many Blacks felt police gave preferential treatment to Jews — the driver who killed Cato <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1991/09/06/nyregion/grand-jury-doesn-t-indict-driver-in-death-of-boy-in-crown-heights.html">was never indicted</a>— while Jewish residents saw the incident as a modern-day pogrom.Dedicated efforts on both sides have led to improved relations in the decades since. But de facto segregation is still in effect.Today African Americans and Jews share the same streets, but live separate lives. Few Lubavitchers shop at stores owned by people of color, and Kosher stores rarely have non-Jewish clients.<div type="image" title="Crown Heights Chabad Hasidic march Black Lives Matter" height="3009" width="4514" msid="76293172" hostid="261"></div>The idea for Sunday's rally evolved from a WhatsApp group chat started after the first Democratic primaries by observant and formerly observant Jews who consider themselves politically progressive.It was "an attempt to make sense of this political crises," Maayan Zik, a Jewish woman of color and member of the chat, told Insider. "How would you respond to family members who talk about touchy subjects in real life and on social media?"<h2>When the <keyword id="2771111" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="black-lives-matter">Black Lives Matter</keyword> <keyword id="6354896" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="protests">protests</keyword> heated up last week, Zik thought, What if we made our own protest?</h2><div type="image" title="Crown Heights Chabad Hasidic march Black Lives Matter" height="3840" width="5760" msid="76293175" hostid="261"></div>"Through our social network, we knew that there were like-minded people who wanted to join a protest against social injustice," she told Insider. "But they were scared of getting hurt by tear gas and the general violence."Even with work, children, and the ongoing lockdown, more than a dozen members of the chat quickly mobilized.One traveled to Manhattan's B &amp; H audio-video superstore to buy an amplifier. Others picked up water bottles, masks, and other supplies.Devorah Leah Backman sent texts while potty-training her child.<div type="image" title="Crown Heights Chabad Hasidic march Black Lives Matter" height="3660" width="5490" msid="76293176" hostid="261"></div>"Once we all decided to do it we just committed to showing up on Sunday at 3," Miriam Levy-Haim, one of the organizers, said. "We made a poster and sent it out to all our friends and family and networks with the hopes they would come out too.""It was really powerful that a group of mostly working mothers pulled this off," Levy-Haim added.Another member, Ilana Spencer, said she hoped the rally would "normalize being a social-justice activist and being a visibly frum person."<div type="image" title="One of the speakers at the Talachula for Social Justice in Crown Heights." height="2976" width="3968" msid="76293177" hostid="261"></div>In her opening remarks, Zik said that, all week long, "the flame of justice is being kindled throughout the country.""I hope we cause to ascend the level of justice and outright fairness in America, particularly for the black community right now," she added.The goal of the march, Zik said, was threefold: For the Hasidic community to show solidarity with the black community, to create awareness among Hasidim about racism, and to amplify black voices."May we continue to kindle the light of justice until its flame rises by itself," she said, "and shines bright and true for every single one of us without doubt, worry, or heartbreak."<h2>Another speaker, Ephraim Sherman, said George Floyd's killing should matter to all Lubavitchers.</h2><div type="image" title="Crown Heights Chabad Hasidic march Black Lives Matter" height="3840" width="5760" msid="76293178" hostid="261"></div>"That an agent of the justice system can murder a person in cold blood doesn't just call out as a human issue, as an American issue," he told the crowd. "To me, that calls out as a halachic issue — a Jewish law issue."He hopes the march represents a new era for Crown Heights."Until now the outreach from the Jewish community to the black community was intended to 'keep the peace' and be mutually beneficial," Sherman told Insider. "Now we are trying to reach out in solidarity and allyship, expecting nothing in return. It opens the door to build real allyship with the black community to build a better tomorrow."Other speakers included Edu Hermelyn, district leader for the 43rd Assembly district, and former state senator Jesse Hamilton, who is close to the Chabad community.Felicia Gomes, who was born and raised in Crown Heights, told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhlqnaXlBzQ&amp;feature=youtu.beu.be">the Forward</a> she was just passing through when she saw the march."This is such a blessing," she said. "I've been here through riots, and different uprisings and things that went on in the Crown Heights community, between Blacks and Jews. I'm almost choked up. It's phenomenal ... to actually see the support for my community, which sometimes is a little tense."

White was ordered by Disney to cancel the original UFC 249 show on April 18 because of political pressure from California governor Gavin Newsom, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/09/sports/ufc-249-canceled.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as reported by The New York Times</a>.Speaking to <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/Sports/mma/ufcs-return-will-be-very-expensive/ar-BB12H004?ocid=a2hs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sirius XM NASCAR Radio</a> last week, White said he was ready to hold UFC 249 at the Tachi Palace in northern California on the Saturday. "I got it done — we could go," he said.White added: "I was asked to not do the event from my partners [the Disney-owned broadcaster ESPN], who I respect, so I did it."I gave them the weekend off and I'm actually at the office right now. We're back in here. We're working. I have a date now for May 9."With the sports entertainment company WWE being given "essential business" status in Florida, the path is clear for other sports leagues and organizations to operate in that state.This has led to speculation that White could take UFC 249 to a venue in Florida.On Tuesday, <a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2020/4/21/21230214/ufc-249-pay-per-view-headed-to-florida-on-may-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MMA Fighting reported that this is what is happening</a> right now.The SBNation website quoted "multiple people with knowledge of the promotion's plans," and said athletes competing at UFC 249 will be flown into Jacksonville before then being transported to a secret location.There are currently three fights planned for the card, though more bouts will likely be added: <ol><li>Henry Cejudo (c) vs. Dominick Cruz — bantamweight world title fight</li><li>Amanda Nunes (c) vs. Felicia Spencer — women's featherweight title fight</li><li>Alexey Oleynik vs. Fabricio Werdum — heavyweight fight</li></ol><h2>This is all proving "very expensive" for the UFC</h2>Should UFC 249 land in Florida, it will do so in a venue closed to the wider public.<div type="image" title="Empty UFC arena coronavirus" height="1000" width="2000" msid="75294250" hostid="261"></div>There will therefore be no revenue made from the gate (through ticket sales) and so the event's profitability will ride largely on television money from ESPN in the US, together with broadcast partners abroad."Listen I'm not stopping," White said on the Sirius radio show."I have this thing figured out. The reality is can it be done? Yes, it can be done. It's just very expensive. It's very expensive and I'm willing to spend the money to do it."My commitment is to my employees and to my fighters," White added. "I don't want to lay anybody off and I don't want fighters sitting around for a year not being able to make money, but I want everybody to be safe."Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/weili-zhang-may-soon-return-to-china-after-being-stranded-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UFC champion Weili Zhang has finally returned to China 6 weeks after being stranded in Las Vegas because of the coronavirus</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/george-stpierre-says-khabib-fight-fell-apart-because-of-ufc-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georges St-Pierre's mega-fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov fell apart because the UFC feared he'd win, then immediately retire with the championship</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/dana-whites-fight-island-will-be-ready-in-may-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dana White says his mysterious 'Fight Island' will be ready in a month, and a UFC champion has already said she'd happily live there</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/ufc-and-top-rank-boxing-consider-restarting-sports-in-florida-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UFC and Top Rank are fervently working to host events as soon as possible, and Florida may be the go-to location</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/conor-mcgregor-trainer-proposes-4-man-tourney-featuring-khabib-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A last-man-standing tournament featuring Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov has been proposed to replace UFC 249</a>Read the original article on <a href="https://www.insider.com/restarting-ufc-during-a-pandemic-is-expensive-dana-white-says-2020-4">Insider</a>

"This girl has been on steroids for so long she's not even a woman anymore. She's an 'it.' It's not good for the women's division."Days later, White refused to condemn Rousey's comments and said Cyborg looked like the former male fighter <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/24/5650344/ufc-dana-white-defends-ronda-rousey-cyborg-it-comments-wanderlei-silva-dress-mma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Wanderlei Silva in a dress."</a>Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/conor-mcgregor-too-small-for-jorge-masvidal-dana-white-says-2019-7?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor is 'p----- off' with Dana White for saying he's too small to fight Jorge Masvidal</a>In 2015, Joe Rogan, the UFC commentator and host of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2015/11/17/9749762/ufc-cris-cyborg-blasts-dana-white-and-joe-rogan-for-hurtful-dick-jokes-mma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joked that Cyborg had a penis</a>.

But now, in 2019, it has taken its toll.

"She back home, fight one kid saying things about me. I said to her you cannot fight a kid; you have to let it go."It's no good," Cyborg said. "Kids listen now. Everyone in the media. And they see the things saying your mom has a penis."Cyborg also said White's oft-made statement that she doesn't want to rematch Amanda Nunes, a dominant fighter she surrendered her featherweight championship to after a first-round knockout loss at UFC 232 in 2018, is damaging to her brand value as a fighter."There are a lot of things going on, a lot of issues, [between] me and the UFC," she said. "Everybody knows I don't have the best or greatest relationship with UFC. I don't have the best relationship with Dana White."He's bullying me around. Bullying me on the internet, and I suffer bullying everywhere because of this. He never said he's sorry to me about this. I have a daughter. I don't think it's nice."Saying I'm scared to fight Amanda Nunes. Saying I don't want to fight her. Liar. I text him after the fight saying I want the rematch. This doesn't help me grow my brand.

She told him to his face in <a href="https://twitter.com/espnmma/status/1155361919643115520" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a viral ESPN MMA video</a> that she wants the rematch against Nunes. And said in the press conference that White told her that she "cannot be mad about everything [he] says in the media."But she won't be jumping at any offers that come her way from UFC. "We're going to have to take a little time and see what is going to be better for me," she said, adding she is open to a new deal with cagefighting's leading firm."You don't have to love the boss, you just have to have respect between both," Cyborg said.
