But despite winning the Champions League and the Euro 2016 in the summer, Cristiano Ronaldo has been facing issues with his fitness in the last couple of months. The European player of the year has failed to score in his last two consecutive appearances for Real Madrid and was unhappy when substituted by Zinedine Zidane in the 2-2 draw with Las Palmas at the weekend. But despite the problems, Thomas Tuchel has warned his upcoming Dortmund side from the three-time Balon d’Or winner and his teammates....

While the English club should overcome Anderlecht, the double-headers against the Turkish Super Lig runner up and Germany’s vice champion, against which the Gunners were beaten at home in last season’s group stage, will leave Arsene Wenger under no illusions as to the tough task ahead. The over familiarity involved in Champions League draws is stifling to say the least. While Arsenal meets Dortmund for the third pair of fixtures in four seasons, Chelsea and Schalke are also well acquainted already following last season’s pair of Blues victories....

The UFC knows fans want to be entertained, chief operating officer Lawrence Epstein told Sporting News. MORE: Ranking the greatest UFC villains ever Nobody, but nobody, sells a fight better than McGregor, the featherweight champion who’ll headline the UFC 205, the first-ever card at Madison Square Garden (The prelims start at 7 p.m. ET on FS1; pay-per-view starts at 10 p.m. ET). The wild star from Dublin is a “force of nature,” Epstein said, and his entertaining media appearances draw comparisons to Muhammad Ali....

For the second year in a row, Amanda Nunes headlines but this time as the champion. She is putting up her women’s bantamweight title in a rematch against Valentina Shevechenko. In the co-main event for the interim middleweight title, Robert Whittaker goes up against Yoel Romero. At UFC 200, Nunes (14-4) defeated Miesha Tate to become the champion. The Brazilian capped off her historic 2016 at UFC 207, knocking out Ronda Rousey....

The victor will earn much more than a gold belt; she’ll also gain the distinction of being the best women’s fighter of all time. Justino, 32, is unbeaten in her last 18 fights, with 16 of the wins by knockout and 10 of those coming in the first round. Fight fans believe that because she hasn’t lost since her debut in May 2005 and has been so dominant in the Octagon, she must not have faced many quality opponents....

The fight came about when featherweight champion Max Holloway had bow out of his scheduled title defense against Frankie Edgar due to leg injury. The UFC needed a main event and came calling to Cyborg and Kunitskaya. People quickly dismissed the notion of the former Invicta FC bantamweight champion of pulling off the upset. The odds have reflected such, as of Friday morning bookmaker.eu has installed Cyborg as -1900 favorite and Kunitskaya at +1025....

Entering 2018 off a controversial submission loss to Kevin Lee the previous summer, the first 363 days of the year were filled with stress, self-doubt and a series of challenges. In April, he was injured during Conor McGregor’s infamous rampage in the bowels of Barclays Center, which forced his fight with Anthony Pettis to be postponed. The day before they ran it back at UFC 226, Chiesa missed weight, telling the reporters in attendance for the early morning scale session that his days at lightweight were done....

While the UE Fits have been available in the US for a good while (for $199), the firm is now launching them in the UK, Canada, and Europe (France and Germany). These are the “world’s first truly wireless custom fit earbuds shaped to consumers’ unique earprints in under 60 seconds.” That’s a strangely specific claim, but we’ve still not seen much like this on the market beyond Snugs, and especially not with such a simple at-home moulding process....

These two distros are aptly favored, as they both continue to offer a series of unique features to the end-users. Nonetheless, it is an apparent battle, and there can only be one winner. Here’s a detailed comparison between MX Linux and Ubuntu. System Requirements MX Linux To install MX Linux, you need a CD/DVD drive. You will have to configure your system BIOS to boot from that drive. Alternatively, if you have a live USB, you can configure your BIOS to boot directly from the USB....

UK pricing and availability Design and build Despite the unique look when compared to other high-end Bluetooth speakers, you’d be forgiven for mistaking the UE Megablast with its predecessor, the Megaboom. After all, the two speakers generally sport the same cylindrical design and weaved mesh speaker grille, but there are subtle differences between the two that make all the difference. First up, the UE Megablast is the largest speaker in the Ultimate Ears range, measuring in at 237 x 88 x 88mm....

Makers of one of the world’s most popular browsers, Mozilla did have solid support from a number of phone manufacturers and wireless carriers for its upcoming Firefox OS. And things would have gone great for it too, if it hadn’t been for the entry of open source with Ubuntu into the extremely competitive mobile OS world. Canonical unveiled the developer preview version of Ubuntu Touch for Phones and Tablets at MWC....

The Controversy Over Firefox Snap in Ubuntu 22.04 In previous Ubuntu versions, Mozilla Firefox was a .deb package as part of the APT package management system used in the Debian and Ubuntu family of distributions. With 22.04, Firefox is now a Snap package. Snap is an alternative package management scheme developed by Ubuntu developer Canonical. With Snap, programs can be distributed with all their dependencies in one large package. This is in contrast to the traditional practice of shipping programs by themselves and leaving it to the distribution’s package managers to include the shared libraries these programs rely on....

In fact, to aid students and furloughed workers, Coursera (opens in new tab) offered free classes for nearly a year. They also partnered with universities to provide credit-based, certified courses at a discounted rate. Udemy (opens in new tab), on the other hand, provided an open platform for anyone to start their own courses, helping people share their skills and knowledge while making a living out of teaching online. Now that in-person classes are opening up again, MOOC platforms like these have continued improving the quality of classes they offer to retain learners....
