Israel Adesanya brushed aside the challenge of Jared Cannonier in a masterclass of technical precision at UFC 276.

The middleweight champion's clash with his American challenger never quite ignited and Cannonier struggled to lay a finger on the elusive Kiwi for large sections of the contest.

Adesanya, who thrilled fans with a homage to WWE star The Undertaker in his walkout, was too fast and intelligent for his challenger but whet the appetite for his next defence.

Adesanya was the more accurate striker and controlled the proceedings from range throughout

A giant nuclear-powered ‘flying hotel’, complete with a gym and swimming pool is set to carry 5,000 passengers in unparalleled luxury.

A new CGI video details how the AI-piloted Sky Cruise plans to remain airborne for months at a time, while also docking to take on new passengers, or to drop off anyone board.

The futuristic hybrid between a plane and hotel – which has 20 engines powered by nuclear fusion – is designed never to land.

Hashem Alghaili, who created the incredibly detailed mockup of the monster aircraft, says the nuclear-powered sky cruise “could be the future of transport”.

Designed to run 24/7, Alghaili even adds that running repairs would be carried out in-flight – a first in aviation.

And, when asked how many people it would take to fly this gigantic plane, he said: “All this technology and you still want pilots?

“I believe it will be fully autonomous”.

Despite plans for a man-less ride, the Sky Cruise will still require plenty of staff on board to be at every passengers beck and call.

The greatly detailed video also promises restaurants, a gigantic shopping mall, a gym, theatre and even a swimming pool – all in the sky.

The promotional clip also promises the human boarded UFO to be the perfect wedding venue, if you’re brave enough.

And it would be perfect as the Sky Cruise offers a panoramic hall, offering breath-taking 360 degree views of the outside.

However, despite the greatness promised, not everyone is on board with the idea.

Some have called the Sky Cruise concept the ‘new Titanic‘, pointing out a plethora of issues with its design.

The huge aeroplane would have issues taking off, and would be far from aerodynamic. Others also pointed out faults with its weight, saying that if an aircraft powered by a nuclear reactor crashed, it could destroy a city.

One nervous passenger said: “Great idea putting a nuclear reactor in something that could malfunction and fall out of the sky.”

While someone else commented “I’m sure I would be able to afford a ticket for the lowest deck with no leg space and no access to the lounge”.

And a third wrote: “Those exposed elevators are a big nope for me. Uneven drag would also like a word on those. The engines look suspiciously like jet engines, fusion reaction is used as a magic future energy source, and your animation never bothered to raise the landing gear.”

And, the massive development cost is also another concern. Some predicted that a trip like this would cost a fortune, saying: “While this is interesting concept and its is capable to built it with current technology, this thing would be super expensive and no doubt only rich would be able to book this hotel”.

Others however are keen to be the first people on board.

One person said: “Hilarious! It’s like someone got in a time machine, traveled to 2070, found a retrofuturism video based on our era (as opposed to the 1950s or 1800s) depicting what people from our era thought our future would look like.”

And a second wrote: “I would much rather prefer a nuclear airship, as the space available will be far greater, but nevertheless, the creativity behind the idea is wonderful and I hope the planners get somewhere someday.”

While many have their hopes set high for the giant hotel, the Sky Cruise is still far in the future.

Even if an aircraft like this is built one day, there are some things that can never change.

As one commenter pointed out: “I bet I still end up next to someone else’s screaming three year old for the entire trip”.
https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Hashem-Al-Ghaili-16.jpg
A full on shopping centre has been promised to be built inside the spacecraft too.

And a second smartly said: “If physics and aerodynamics didn’t exist, then this vessel might actually be able to take off.”
However, their concerns shouldn’t be anything to worry about.

This comes after Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his brother Mark made history by going to space in July 2021.

And, in October 13, 2021, William Shatner became the oldest astronaut at the age of 90 when Blue Origin launched its second successful flight to space

CAN YOU SPOT THE SLEEPING LADY?

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP. IT'S UP TO YOU

7. THE ILLUSIONISTS CLAIMED THERE'S A BABY HERE AND OTHER STUFFS

4. APPEARS TO MOVE IN A MOMENT


The design uses the 'anomalous motion phenomenon' to make it look as though the picture is moving.

3. THE BOXES ARE NOT MOVING


These boxes are clearly spinning on the spot, right? Nope! They are, in fact, totally still, with the illusion caused by the flashing background. Focusing on one of the cube's corners stops the spin so you can prove to yourself what is actually happening.

2. HOW MANY HORSES ARE HERE?

At first glance, the horses blend in so well that you nearly miss them altogether, but after taking a second look you can see that there are many in the picture.

1. WHO IS WHO? WHICH IS WHICH?

This monster turbine was on my mind before opening the thread, I loved the metal build
Driving all the base into your eardrum
This stuff was mind blowing

YorubaKing:
I'm happy for Francis. This is his last fight and he can leave the UFC and that vampire, Dana White. Dude only gets paid $600K when he can make close to N40MM in professional boxing having AJ or Fury as opponents.

meobizy:
Gane has made the heavyweight division sit up in style and performance. We have evolved from one hit knockouts to men over a hundred kilograms fighting like eighty kilogram combatants. I knew Francis would confuse the challenger with wrestling over a one hit kill, I didn’t expect him to beat Gane completely using the skill.

The outcome is terrible news for Dana White and the UFC, who are at loggerheads with Ngannou about his contract and have been in dispute for months.

The UFC president refused to enter the cage and wrap the belt around his waist, as is custom, and reportedly failed to turn up to the post-fight press conference.

Ngannou is understood to have one fight left on his contract due to a clause that extends the deal by winning a championship bout, putting both him and the UFC in an awkward position having made his intention to box Tyson Fury or another heavyweight star in a lucrative cross-over bout.

It will be fascinating to see whether the organisation come to an agreement with the champion or decide to strip him of the title in punishment.

While the problem did not seem to impede the 35-year-old particularly, he revealed the true extent of the damage afterwards, telling Joe Rogan: 'It has been a very tough training camp, very tough.

'A lot of s*** happened. Three weeks ago I hurt my knee. Tore my medial cruciate ligament completely, hurt my ACL and other stuff.'

Everything was going to plan for Gane and his coach, Fernand Lopez, who split acrimoniously with Ngannou in what formed the backdrop to much of the build-up to this showdown between former sparring partners.

But clearly the Ngannou who suffered so badly in the grappling exchanges in his first fight with Stipe Miocic is long gone.

What a frightening thought. The baddest man on the planet now has even more weapons at his disposal.

Alarm bells started ringing when Ngannou walked out at Honda Center in Anaheim with strapping on both of his knees. The commentary team admitted they had heard rumblings of an injury, that had been carefully concealed up to this point.

Ngannou revealed that he suffered major injuries to his knee before the fight but refused to withdraw from it

It was Gane who took Ngannou down for the first time in the bout but he made a fatal error, perhaps underlining his inexperience at the very top level.
The Frenchman attempted a leg lock but allowed Ngannou to reverse position and spend the majority of the round on top, leaving the judges in no doubt that the champion should retain his prize.

Most fighters, fans and pundits agreed that if the champion was going to win this fight, he would do it early, with a first or second round knockout, as he has done on his five previous meetings.

But Gane was too light on his feet, dancing in and out, not necessarily posing much of a threat himself but evading Ngannou's power punches easily and doing enough to win the first couple of rounds.
