YouTube/Link Up TV

Drake is keeping up a busy summer by releasing a new freestyle. On Saturday, July 7, Drake followed up his “Scorpion” double-album by making an appearance on Link Up TV to drop his “Behind Barz” freestyle. In the latest track, Drake reminisces about his career on the mic.

“I got way too big off “Views”/Back to the basics, I won’t lose,” he raps. “They wanna link when they got no tunes/They too worried about sellin’ out shoes.”

Many believe the line about “sellin’ out shoes” is another shot at Kanye West. He also drops the line “man start dissin’ and doing reposts” which everyone also believes goes after Pusha T, who Drake had a very public beef with earlier this year. After Drake and Pusha T released diss tracks aimed at each other, Pusha T continued to “repost” reactions from Kanye West about the feud. There is also a much less veiled line in the freestyle, which plays off of Kanye’s “Kids See Ghosts” album and mentions “P and his bro.”

Seen ’em in person, I’m seeing a ghost
They told me relax ’cause they’re taking control
Take all that shit up with P and his bro
I wish you the best, let me know how it goes

All of the information you need to listen to “Behind Barz” can be seen below.

Drake ‘Behind Barz’ Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Link Up TV, Behind Barz
Big up man like Rasheed, Joey, Tadas
Shoutout Giggs for settin’ the ting, SN1, OVO
Mm-hmm, yeah, look

[Hook 1]
You know how the paigon chit-chat goes
I like R’s and V’s and O’s
I don’t really play no tic-tac-toe
Been with Chubbs through highs and lows
We seen man last night, they froze
Wasn’t no cameras, wasn’t no pose
Just like that one time at ‘chella
Good thing man weren’t pullin’ out phones

[Verse 1]
Stay in big six six with woes
Man start dissin’ and doin’ reposts
They do anything except road
Still can’t see them after snows
I don’t have time for the wasteman jokes
Personal ting if I’m getting up close
Loyal to O ’cause I’ve taken a oath
Versace hotel and I’m taking the robes
Seen ’em in person, I’m seeing a ghost
They told me relax ’cause they’re taking control
Take all that shit up with P and his bro
I wish you the best, let me know how it goes
Wanna be free and I wanna let go
We came around and you showed us the most
I know so much sh** that I cannot expose
I keep it inside and I laugh on my own
Got all the tea and I’m hottin’ it up
I need a shade mansion, a room’s not enough
You’re droppin’ some sh** but that shit was a bust
They got no direction, they’re followin’ us
I come from a city that they never touch
Your man is a goofy and he could get brushed
I can’t name a rapper or girl that I trust
I dream about turning these yutes into dust

The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to pay-per-view on Saturday, July 7 with the biggest event of the year. UFC 226 — which takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas — is headlined by a champion vs. champion superfight that sees heavyweight titleholder Stipe Miocic putting his belt on the line against light heavyweight king Daniel Cormier.

Also on the main card is a heavyweight slugfest between Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou, an exciting welterweight scrap between Paul Felder and Mike Perry, and a lightweight contest between former champ Anthony Pettis and Michael Chiesa. Kicking of the pay-per-view is a light heavyweight bout between Khalil Rountree and Gokhan Saki

If you missed out on the action, we have you covered.

The full results and video highlights from Saturday night’s UFC 226 pay-per-view can be seen below.

UFC 226 Results & Video Highlights

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)

Champ Stipe Miocic vs. champ Daniel Cormier – for the UFC heavyweight title

Derrick Lewis def. Francis Ngannou via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)

Lewis and Ngannou came into the fight knowing that either man could end the bout at a second’s notice, so they were staying on the outside and being patient through the opening minute. Lewis was first to strike with a left kick to the body, taking advantage of an opening when Ngannou switched to the southpaw position and Ngannou whiffed on a counter.

Lewis continued to mix up his strikes, throwing a switch kick to the head of his opponent. Ngannou was able to back Lewis against the cage after throwing out his jab, but he failed to string together any combinations and the round came to an end with the crowd raining down boos. Ngannou landed just two strikes in the opening round. The start of Round 2 was much of the same, with neither fighter willing to pull the trigger. Referee Herb Dean gave a warning to the fighters for a lack of engagement, which led to Lewis picking up his pace and throwing some wild combinations as the round came to an end with Joe Rogan saying we could be on our way to “the most boring heavyweight decision of all-time.”

Joe Rogan says without a stoppage, "we may looking at the most boring heavyweight fight of all time."

Midway through the final frame, Ngannou had landed only 9 punches. The record for the least strikes landed was 23, so Ngannou was in danger of being the least active fighter in a UFC bout. Lewis unleashed a flurry looking to create some excitement, but Ngannou circled away and we were once again in a stalemate as the fight cruised to a decision.

Mike Perry def. Paul Felder via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

Both men immediately showed their willingness to take the center of the cage as promised. Unfortunately, that led to a collision of heads and immediate cut opened up on Felder’s forehead. They were swinging heavy leather wasted no time looking for a fight-ending blow.Perry was able to keep Felder at bay with some leg kicks and side kicks, but Felder was heating up and began throwing some big kicks of his own. Perry was finding his must success in the clinch, while Felder was landing the more significant strikes when they were in kickboxing range. The two men closed out with a wild exchange before Perry stuffed a takedown attempt at the bell.

Felder continued to work his kicks, but Perry was able to turn one opening into the opportunity to clinch. Once in the clinch, Perry elevated Felder above his head and slammed him to the mat. Felder bounced back to his feet, but ate a heavy elbow from Perry during his escape against the cage. The action slowed midway through the round, before Perry hurt Felder with a brutal left hook that opened a nasty cut over Felder’s right eye. The doctor looked at the cut but determined Felder could continue. When the action resumed, Perry landed a takedown and began pummeling Felder’s gruesome cut.

Ahead of the final round, Felder informed his corner that he believed he had broken his arm. Felder was struggling to put together a well-rounded attack because of his injury, while Perry was also able to capitalize on the defensive opening with more powerful lefts to the head. Perry closed the distance and locked up Felder’s waist before throwing some massive knees into Felder’s thigh. The two men took the center of the cage with just 30 seconds to go and both looked to close out the fight with an entertaining flurry in the middle of the octagon to the joy of the fans.

Anthony Pettis def. Michael Chiesa via submission (triangle armbar) – Round 2, 0:52

Pettis came out looking to be the aggressor and temporarily found himself in top position, but Chiesa was able to bounce back to his feet before engaging in the clinch. Chiesa eventually got the takedown, but Pettis immediately began threatening for submissions from the bottom with his active guard. Chiesa was able to avoid danger and kept his weight on the former champion while looking for a way to advance his position. Pettis was able to get back to his feet quickly after a dangerous upkick. Once Pettis got some room, he was able to start firing off his flashy kicks before catching a kick of Chiesa’s, landing a trip and looking for a flurry to close the round.

There's some serious bad blood in this one ..#UFC226 pic.twitter.com/A4eg5eiZkI

Pettis opened up the second frame with some heavy kicks to the body followed by a straight right hand that dropped Chiesa. Chiesa was able to avoid follow-up strikes after Pettis decided to dive for the guillotine. While Chiesa was able to avoid the guillotine, he quickly found himself stuck inside of a triangle choke. Pettis then added the arm and locked in a triangle armbar that forced Chiesa to top.

PETTIS TAPS CHIESA! PETTIS TAPS CHIESA!

Khalil Rountree def. Gokhan Saki via TKO (strikes) – Round 1, 1:36

Rountree came out patient and looking to avoid the early mistake against the much more seasoned striker in Saki. Rountree was staying in the pocket and throwing heavy leather, however, which was a dangerous strategy that played right into Saki’s game. Despite all of the pre-fight hype and belief that Saki would control the fight in the stand up, Rountree rocked Saki with a devastating left hand down the middle that sent Saki crumbling to the mat and left the arena on their feet. Rountree followed up the straight left with a flurry of ground-and-pound to cap off the stunning upset.

PRELIMINARY CARD (UFC Fight Pass & FOX Sports 1)

Paulo Costa def. Uriah Hall via TKO (strikes) – Round 2, 2:38

Both men began the bout hand-fighting and looking to find an opening in their opponent’s defense. Hall had a significant reach advantage and was content staying on the outside. Unfortunately, the action was halted in the opening round after Costa hit Hall with a groin shot. When the action resumed, Hall returned to a snapping jab that was consistently finding a home and lighting Costa up. Costa gained so momentum with a vicious strike to the body. Costa was warned for extending his fingers, before Hall returned to keeping his opponent at a distance with his jab. Costa again hit Hall below the belt and forced another break in the action before receiving a final warning.

Hall opened the second round with a well-timed shot, but Costa quickly bounced back to his feet. Hall cracked Costa with a heavy shot and the Brazilian immediately began retreating from danger. Once Costa regained his wits, he began landing some devastating shots of his own that completely turned the tide and sent Hall crumbling to the mat as the referee stepped in to stop the action.

Raphael Assuncao def. Rob Font via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Both men were feeling out their opponents in the first round as they attempted to avoid a crucial mistake in a bout that could have title shot implications in the division. Assuncao landed the first big shot of the match, scoring a 1-2 that temporarily dropped Font to the mat. Font bounced right back to his feet and began stalking his opponent. Early in Round 2, Assuncao looked to establish some dominance, landing an early takedown and immediately working to take Font’s back. On the mat, Assuncao had the clear advantage, but Font was able to slowly work his way back to his feet midway through the round. Font was unable to get off any attack as we prepared for the third round.

Font came out looking to push the pace knowing he would likely need a finish to come away with the win. Unfortunately for Font, the action was temporarily halted after taking an eye poke from Assuncao. Assuncao then landed another takedown and began stacking his opponent while inflicting damage with some ground-and-pound against the cage. Font was active looking to return to his feet, but unable to get off of his back as the fight went to the judges.

Drakkar Klose def. Lando Vannata via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Klose immediately pushed Vannata against the cage and swing for a wild spinning backfist, but Vannata countered with a takedown to temporarily get the fight to the mat. After a brief scramble, Klose returned to his feet and clinched Vannata before working against the cage. Both men continued to jostle for position in the clinch, alternating position and exchanging strikes.

Vannata picked up the pace in Round 2, while Klose was keeping the same strategy of clinching his opponent and neutralizing any flashy striking techniques. After a brief exchange, Klose opened a nasty cut over Vannata’s right eye. Klose caught Vannata with a right hand as Vannata charged in and was beginning to dictate the striking game. As the round went on, Klose continued to attack Vannata’s lead leg as damage was piling up. In between rounds, Klose told his corner that Vannata had no power left, but he was still urged to be cautious.

Klose tells John Crouch that Vannata has "no power." Crouch responds, "We're not having a contest of punching power." Always love his corner work. #UFC226

Klose continued to control the fight in the final frame, dominating in the clinch and inflicting damage against the cage. Vannata began swinging with a sense of desperation but was unable to find a home for his strikes. Vannata did manage a takedown in the closing minute and immediately began working for Klose’s back, but could not capitalize. Klose returned the favor with a takedown of his own and road out the remainder of the round in dominant position.

Curtis Millender def. Max Griffin via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Both men came out looking to push the pace, before Griffin was able to land the first takedown of the night and began working from the half guard. Millender was able to avoid hitting the mat for much of Round 2 and began finding more success in the stand up. Millender cracked Griffin with a big knee to the bottom and snapped Griffin’s head back with a straight punch, before landing a takedown and finishing the round raining down some ground-and-pound from the top. In the final frame, Griffin was working against the cage and searching for a takedown of his own. However, Millender was able to defend the attempt and returned to the center of the cage. Millender was again able to land his strikes with consistency as the duration of the round played out.

Hooker wasted no time proving how dangerous he was on the ground, immediately threatening Burns with submissions when the fight hit the mat. Once Burns returned to his feet, Hooker was able to show off his hands by cracking Burns with a heavy shot that immediately dropped Burns to the mat and forced the referee to come in to save the day as the New Zealand native scored his fourth stoppage victory in a row.

Emily Whitmire def. Jamie Moyle via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Whitmire came out as the busier striker and was using her volume to outstrike her opponent while keeping her at range. Whitmire came out again in Round 2 looking to establish her jab while controlling the center of the cage. Moyle was able to eventually close the distance and attempted a takedown, but Whitmire fought off the attempt and tried for a shot of her own. Moyle also defended the takedown and the two women separated and returned to the center of the cage. Moyle was able to finally get into a dominant position, staying in Whitmire’s chest and pressuring her against the cage while throwing shots to the body. Whitmire opened the final frame by putting Moyle on her back and immediately looked to improve her position against an active guard from her opponent. Whitmire eventually flattened Moyle out and was able to dominate from top control inside of the half guard. Moyle had no answer for Whitmire in the final round as we went to the judge’s scorecards.

Emily Whitmire picked up her first victory inside of the octagon on Saturday night at UFC 226 in Las Vegas, but it was an interaction following the fight that stole the show. Whitmire had her hand raised in victory before flipping the double-bird to her teammate, jiu jitsu ace Vinny Magalhaes.

Whitmire was unhappy that Magalhaes decided to corner her opponent, Jamie Moyle, for the fight, and unloaded during her post-fight interview with UFC commentator Joe Rogan.

“Vinny is supposed to be my teammate,” Whitmire said. “He said he wasn’t cornering against me five times. Today I showed up, saw him getting off the bus, didn’t message me or anything, so he can go f*** himself.”

UFC 226 ended on a high note after Brock Lesnar made an appearance. The WWE champion and former UFC titleholder was sitting cageside for the bout before he made his way into the octagon to confront Daniel Cormier, who scored a first-round knockout victory over Stipe Miocic to become only the second-ever fighter in UFC history to hold two titles in different weight classes consecutively.

Cormier called out Lesnar following his big win, when Lesnar came in to crash the party.

Lesnar entered the cage and then got into Cormier’s face before shoving the double-champion across the cage. People inside of the cage quickly separated the two men before a further scuffle could break out.

Here is another angle of the altercation with additional fallout between the two men:

After crashing Cormier’s moment, Lesnar grabbed a hold of the microphone and cut a WWE-style promo. Lesnar called out former UFC champion Stipe Miocic and co-main event participant Francis Ngannou as “sh**,” before offering to take on Cormier inside of the cage at a future date.

It is the obvious fight to make on all sides, but there are a still a number of hurdles that need to be cleared. There are conflicting reports about whether Lesnar has re-entered the USADA drug testing pool which is required for six months before returning to action, so a potential superfight between the WWE star and two-division champion may be postponed until 2019. Of course, if the UFC wanted to put the fight on one of the biggest stages in combat sports, they have already secured an October date for Madison Square Garden in New York City.

We will just have to wait and see.

While incredibly hard to make it as an actor, should someone manage to actually do it the payoff can be more than worth it. All these actors have been established in the industry for years, and it has been their ability to consistently crank out box office hits for decades that has resulted in them accumulating such wealth. In most cases though, it is not only their work in films that has caused them to become so wealthy, but also having strong business sense and knowing how to invest that has resulted in them landing a spot on this list.

10. Tom Hanks Net Worth: 350 million

Widely regarded as Americas dad, Tom has been getting steady and prominent roles since he first began acting back in 1980. While not the highest paid on this list, he is easily one of the most widely loved, with a quick search of his name revealing all the awesome things he has been up to over the years. With him remaining so beloved and in the public eye, his paycheck has reflected this as well with him bringing in about fifteen million for every role he stars in. This huge paycheck combined with his extreme work ethic of starring in about one to two films a year is what has resulted in him being so wealthy.


9. Clint Eastwood Net Worth: 375 million

While not as prominent as he used to be, there was a point where Clint was the leading man in Hollywood, acting as the star in some of the most iconic films ever made. He rose up with the wave of westerns that flooded Hollywood in the sixties and seventies and had the leading role in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly as well as Dirty Harry. In his later career, he has started shifting more towards behind the scenes roles and stared and directed in the critically acclaimed film Grand Torino in 2008, as well as directing American Sniper in 2014. the result of all this is, of course, his incredible wealth and despite some fairly strange remarks at the Republican Nation Convention a few years ago, the man seems to be doing quite well for himself.


8. Jackie Chan Net Worth: 395 million

Another iconic actor, Jackie Chan has had an astounding career in action comedies, and even more impressive has done all the stunts in these movies largely by himself. Starting his career primarily as a stuntman, he did work for some of the greats like Bruce Lee before eventually getting his first starring role in the 1978 film Drunken Master. It was here that he pioneered the idea of action comedies, with this new genre of films becoming an immediate hit and launching him into stardom. From here Chan went on to act, produce and direct over 150 films, each one bringing in more than the last due to him being such a widely recognized domestic and international star. Last year alone he was reported to have made around 50 million dollars, easily landing him a place on this list.


7. Sylvester Stallone Net Worth: 400 million

Having one of the most inspiring success stories there is, Sylvester Stallone came from nothing and ended up turning into one of Hollywood’s most infamous stars. Starting his career with very little luck and getting cast in only a few minor roles, the story goes that Stallone was apparently hit with a burst of inspiration and subsequently wrote out the entire script of Rocky in just three days. After having the script rejected by numerous studios, one finally took interest and even allowed Stallone to play the leading role in return for significant budget cuts. This, of course, resulted in him becoming a global phenomenon, making six more Rocky movies and of course increasing his paycheck with each one. He also went on to star in the Rambo franchise, The Expendables, and recently was in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 as well, showing just how prominent he remains even today.

The guy has done it all, working as an actor, author, producer, businessmen, investor, politician and former world champion bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger has had an incredibly wide-spanning career that has resulted in the accumulation of such significant wealth. Initially starting out as a bodybuilder, it was only after winning the Mr. Olympia contest seven times that he decided to retire from bodybuilding and pursue other interests. from here he went on to become an internationally recognized action star, with the featured role in classics such as The Terminator as well as Total Recall. All this combined with his political career as well as some smart investments in real estate are what have landed him a spot on this list. Also, as a side note, his soundboard is one of the most entertaining things on the internet and is absolutely worth 3-5 minutes of your time.


5. Jack Nicholson Net Worth: 400 million

Having an explosive career during his peak, Nicholson has played some iconic roles that have resulted in him being among the wealthiest on this list. While no longer acting anymore, it was good negotiations on his part during the pinnacle of his career that resulted in him being so wealthy. Having a fairly slow start and struggling to land roles, it wasn’t until he landed a part in the 1969 film Easy Rider that he started to gain prominence. After that, he began getting starring roles such as Jack in The Shining, and the Joker in Batman where he is said to have negotiated for a percent of the profits that resulted in a $60 million paycheck from that film alone.


4. Mel Gibson Net Worth: 425 million

Has he had a controversial career? Yes. Has he said something questionable things? Certainly. But is he still rich? Well, yes. having accumulated an incredible $425 million over his career Mel Gibson is among one of the richest working actors turned director today. Starting not in America, but Australian, Gibson worked his way into Hollywood starting with breakout films such as Mad Max and eventually staring and directing the classic Braveheart. While these films did earn him a significant profit, the majority of his wealth comes from the film The Passion of the Christ that he wrote and directed. Gibson and his production company provided the sole funds for the film and based on the $620 million returns it is estimated that Gibson pocketed $200 million of the film’s profits when it’s all said and done.


3. George Clooney Net Worth: 500 million

Often one of the first faces that comes to mind when you think of an actor, George Clooney has had a long career in Hollywood, often acting as the charismatic leading man. His huge fortune comes not entirely from acting though, but some impressive business ventures as well. In 2013 Clooney and two friends decided to start a tequila company, and five years later it had become one of the most recognized and popular brands out there. Seeing it as competition liquor giant Diageo agreed to pay somewhere around $1 billion dollars to acquire Clooney’s company, which has resulted in him being placed so high up on this list.


2. Tom Cruise Net Worth: 570 million

Arguably the face of Hollywood, Tom Cruise is one of the most successful screen actors in history, now averaging about $50 million a year from his work in film alone. He was a major success from a young age, and at just nineteen was already being featured in films like The Outsiders. His prominence only increased from there, and by the time his twenties were over he was one of the most recognizable household names in the world. His early and major success, as well as his work ethic of consistently being in one to two films a year is what explains his massive fortune.


1. Shah Rukh Khan Net Worth: 750 million

Most Americans will have no idea who this man is, so it will be especially surprised to find his name at the top of this list. That being said, Shah Rukh Khan is currently the worlds wealthiest actor, with the majority of his revenue coming from his starring roles in Bollywood films. It is not just this, but some wise investments on his part as well that have resulted in him amassing such a fortune. He is said to own numerous production studios as well have properties all over the globe, and so even when he isn’t acting as the leading man in major Bollywood blockbusters, he still has plenty of revenue coming in from other sources.

Modric makes a whopping $7.5 million (U.S. standard) as of 2018. Born in Zadar, Modrić was signed by Dinamo Zagreb in 2002 after showing promise with his hometown club’s youth team. He continued his development in Zagreb before spells on loan to Zrinjski Mostar and Inter Zaprešić. In 2015, he became the first Croatian player ever to be included in the FIFA World XI, in which he was included once again in 2016 and 2017, as well in the UEFA Team of the Year in 2016 and 2017. He has been named the Croatian Footballer of the Year six times, tied with Davor Šuker for most wins of all-time.

In the 2005–06 season, Modrić signed a ten-year contract (his first long-term contract) with Dinamo Zagreb. With the contract’s earnings, he bought a flat in Zadar for his family. He secured a place in Dinamo’s first team, contributing 7 goals in 31 matches to help win the league. In the 2006–07 season, Dinamo again won the league, with Modrić making a similar contribution, being the main provider for striker Eduardo, which helped Modrić win the Prva HNL Player of the Year award.

In the first match, against Inter Milan at the San Siro on 20 October, he exited the game early because of an injury; Spurs lost 4–3, despite the tremendous efforts of Gareth Bale. On the return match at home, on 2 November, Modrić was given too much space to move and dictate the tempo of the game. He created and assisted for the first goal by Rafael van der Vaart in a 3–1 victory. In the next match, against Werder Bremen, Modrić scored the second goal. After a scoreless draw against A.C.

Iniesta signed a new contract with Barcelona in December 2013, keeping him at the club until 2018. As vice-captain, he regularly captained Barça throughout the club’s second treble-winning campaign of the 2014–15 season, and became captain after Carles Puyol’s retirement and Xavi’s departure. Iniesta scored three times during the team’s Copa del Rey campaign, and was the man of the match in the 2015 UEFA Champions League Final, having assisted Ivan Rakitić’s opening goal in the 3–1 defeat of Italian champions Juventus at Berlin’s Olympiastadion.

With season 8 set to air on HBO in early 2019, the network has teamed up with adidas to coordinate a massive Game of Thrones UltraBoost limited edition sneaker launch. The rollout of this collection will coincide with the network programming of Game of Thrones.

Coinciding with the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, adidas will release these George RR Martin-influenced sneakers in 2019. According to Yeezy Mafia, the Ultra Boosts will represent House Targaryen, White Walkers, Night’s Watch, House Lannister, and House Stark. The early renderings from Yeezy Mafia show each sneaker has a heel label with sayings such as “Winter Is Coming,” “Winter Is Here,” “Fire And Blood,” and “Hear Me Roar.” It would be nice if the sneakers had each house’s sigil on it somewhere. Imagine strutting around King’s Landing in these shoes?

Let’s check out the collection!
