Zane Simon & Eddie Mercado are here to breakdown this Saturday’s, July 24th, ‘UFC Vegas 32: Cory Sandhagen vs. T.J. Dillashaw’ event. The guys will have hot takes, possible next fights, as well as reactions to the overall event. Bloody Elbow fight experts, Zane Simon & Eddie Mercado, are here tonight – Saturday, July 24th., 2021, to breakdown the UFC VEGAS 32: ‘Cory Sandhagen vs. T.J. Dillashaw’ Fight Night event, which was broadcast from the cozy confines of the APEX Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The guys will have hot takes, possible next fights, as well as reactions to the overall event in the player above, or on our Bloody Elbow Presents YouTube Channel and BE Presents Podcast Network. (SPOILERS…)
The UFC showcased a Bantamweight bout between BJJ artist, Cory Sandhagen and T.J. Dillashaw, who favors Muay Thai mixed in with his BJJ tonight. ‘The Sandman’ was ranked #2 and was on a two-fight win streak, having defeated both Frankie Edgar and Marlon Moraes during the past year. Dillashaw was making his comeback to the Octagon with no signs of ring rust after his 2-year suspension from 2019 to 2021 for testing positive for the performance-enhancing drug, recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO). Despite Dillashaw’s prolonged absence from the division, he still holds the all-time UFC bantamweight records for wins (12), finishes (8), knockouts (7), title fight wins (5), fight night bonuses (8), knockdowns (9), significant strikes landed (1,004) and total strikes landed (1,340).
Main Event Outcome: After a murderous contest that went on for five gruelingly close rounds, Dillashaw emerged victorious, despite a gnarly gash in his brow, in what turned out to be another controversial decision tonight; this one Split. Dillashaw: (48-47 x2, 47-48). It was such a close fight it was terribly hard to call, and the result was widely debated on social media immediately following the conclusion of the fight. Dillashaw managed to make it through despite some first round knee issues as well. What a comeback!

“I had him hurt a number of times, I wasn’t hurt at all. I dunno man. I should have done better.” – Cory Sandhagen #UFCVegas32— Bloody Elbow (@BloodyElbow) July 25, 2021

“Daddy’s getting that belt easy. Easy money for that belt right now.” – Dillashaw calling for the title shot. #UFCVegas32— Bloody Elbow (@BloodyElbow) July 25, 2021

Official UFC Vegas 32 Main Event Scorecard via @UFCNews

Our co-main event was slated to be a women’s bout between Aspen Ladd and Macy Chiasson, but we lost it a couple days ago due to Chiasson’s withdraw based on an injury. Our main card Bantamweight bout between up-and-comer Kyler ‘The Matrix’ Phillips and Veteran Raulian Paiva was bumped into the co-main slot at the last minute. The UFC newcomer, Phillips, was on a 4-fight win streak; while the Brazilian Paiva had a 2-fight win streak going for him, out of his 23 matches fourteen of them went to decision.
Co-Main Event Outcome: In a brutal, valiantly fought bloody battle, Paiva took out ‘The Matrix’ in a highly controversial majority decision, despite both fighters seeming tired after the first round. A lot of heart from both men went into this bout. For a last minute co-main filler, this fight did not disappoint. Surely this takes home FOTN honors, and goes down in the books as an instant classic.

“I didn’t come to America to play games.” – Raulian Paiva #UFCVegas32— Bloody Elbow (@BloodyElbow) July 25, 2021

Also on the main card, we had Featherweight veterans Darren Elkins vs. Darrick Minner, ladies Flyweights Maycee Barber and Miranda Maverick, and Bantamweights Adrian Yanez vs. Randy Costa.

My gut says Minner, but I picked Elkins just because he’s been super hard to sub all career and Minner has, in the past, gassed hard. But if Krause has really retooled his game, that might all be different now. Still, kind of fight Elkins used to win every time. #UFCVegas32— Bloody Elbow (@BloodyElbow) July 25, 2021

Notable Outcomes: Yanez had no problem handing a defeat to Costa a couple minutes into the second round via combo punches, in such a marvelous fashion he took home a bonus for his performance tonight. Barber and Maverick went the distance, ending up with a controversial Split Decision victory going to Barber (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). Mainstay Darrin Elkins took out Darrick Minner with Strikes from the Top in the second round.

Another round for Maverick. Barber needs to make it ugly, because she’s doesn’t seem to be able to out-technique Miranda anywhere#UFCVegas32— Eddie Teach (@TheEddieMercado) July 24, 2021

“Some of these guys have all the athleticism in the world. Me man? I’m tough and I keep coming.” – Darren Elkins #UFCVegas32— Bloody Elbow (@BloodyElbow) July 25, 2021

Four out of our six prelim bouts ended with some wicked finishes, two of them in the first round, the others in the second; each well worth going back to catch a glimpse of if you missed them.

Trust Wallet integrates Apple Pay to streamline cryptocurrency purchases

Individuals can now buy crypto on Trust Wallet using Apple Pay. The feature is currently available in more than 45 countries. Such updates reduce entry barriers into the crypto and blockchain world.

Trust Wallet integrates Apple Pay to streamline cryptocurrency purchases

  • Individuals can now buy crypto on Trust Wallet using Apple Pay.
  • The feature is currently available in more than 45 countries.
  • Such updates reduce entry barriers into the crypto and blockchain world.

Trust Wallet, one of the reputable digital asset wallets, has made another step toward promoting cryptocurrency adoption.

It has confirmed adding Apple Pay today, November 27, on X, allowing individuals in more than 45 countries to purchase their favourite virtual tokens within seconds.

Notably, the new feature promises an enhanced experience for new and existing users. The announcement read:

Trust Wallet has integrated Apple Pay. Buy your first crypto in seconds. Available in 45+ countries.

Indeed, purchasing digital tokens has been challenging for newbies, with lengthy verification procedures, numerous account setups, and limited payment methods often discouraging them.

Trust Wallet wants to address this challenge. With the integration of Apple Pay, it aims to make digital assets more accessible than ever, as individuals can now buy their “first crypto in seconds.”

How to get started

Depositing funds in a Trust Wallet account using Apple Pay is straightforward.

Users only need to open the app, visit the ‘Fund’ tab, and choose Apple Pay as the desired payment option.

Everything takes a few taps, mirroring the smooth experience when using Apply Pay for day-to-day purchases.

Most importantly, Trust Wallet benefits from Apple Pay’s credibility and security features, which include Touch ID, encrypted payments, and Face ID.

That promises streamlined crypto purchases that don’t compromise user safety.

Trust Wallet expands footprint globally

The team confirmed that users in more than 45 countries can access the Apple Pay transaction option.

Trust Wallet is lowering barriers to joining crypto, which will likely make it an entry point for millions who have struggled to access the digital assets market.

Individuals in jurisdictions with limited options to participate in the cryptocurrency industry now have a swift and secure option.

TWT price outlook

Trust Wallet’s native token remained somewhat muted in the past 24 hours.

The alt is trading at $1.08 after a slight 0.09% uptick on the daily price chart.

TWT has consolidated over the past week after losing nearly 15% in the last 30 days, influenced by broader selling pressure.

Meanwhile, TWT has underperformed the broader market today.

CoinMarketCap data shows the value of all cryptocurrencies increased by more than 3% the last 24 hours to $3.12 trillion.

Bitcoin is trading at $91,480, pumping the altcoin space as risk-on sentiments surfaced.

For now, Bitcoin should reclaim the key zone between $93,000 and $94,000 to shift its near-term trajectory to bullish.

That can support steady upswings towards the $100,000 psychological market.

However, a sudden selling wave will see it retracing to the ‘new’ liquidity region at $85,000 – $86,000.

Orléans community grapples with closure of EarlyON playgroup

The Charlemagne EarlyON Child and Family Centre is the second such facility operated by the Ottawa Catholic School Board in Orléans to close since September.

Article content

With a long-running Orléans playgroup set to close at the end of November, many families are worried about a growing gap in free early-learning programs in Ottawa’s east end.

Article content

The Charlemagne EarlyON Child and Family Centre, which operates out of St. Peter Catholic High School, has announced it will shut its doors on Nov. 30. The free drop-in playgroup offers learning programs for children up to six years old.

For Dominique Patnaik, who has attended the play group for three years with her two daughters, the closure comes as an unexpected blow.

“Everybody felt it because it is such a big part of our weekly lives, and it’s provided us with so much … that we all feel like there’s going to be a hole in our lives when the centre closes,” Patnaik said.

Article content

The Ottawa Catholic School Board said it made the decision to close the EarlyON program after determining the space was needed for classrooms to support enrolment growth at the high school.

Article content

“Families have shared how meaningful this program has been for their children and for their sense of community, and we recognize the worry this has created for those who use the centre,” the school board wrote in a statement.

Article content

The Charlemagne centre is the second OCSB-operated EarlyON facility in Orléans to close in recent months. Another program at Divine Infant Elementary School shut down in September.

Article content

Until now, Orléans centres offered as many as 57 hours of weekly English or bilingual playgroup sessions. With the closures of the two sites, parents estimate this will drop to just 15 hours weekly.

“We’re very concerned that there will be no alternative for a lot of parents and young children to go to different playgroups,” said Claudie Larouche, a parent who is helping organize efforts to try to save the Charlemagne playgroup.

More than 1,100 people have signed a petition urging the City of Ottawa and the Catholic school board to preserve the playgroup, if not in its current location, then in a suitable space nearby.

Article content

Pressure on remaining playgroups is expected to intensify. While another EarlyON centre remains open nearby on Centrum Boulevard, Patnaik said demand was already greater than capacity, with parents lining up outside before programs begin.

Article content

Larouche added the remaining sites may also be less accessible for families who rely on public transit.

For many families, the Charlemagne EarlyON played an especially vital role because of its supportive staff, daily drop-in schedule and baby class offerings.

Twylla Hodgins said Charlemagne centre staff gave her the resources to seek support from a speech-language specialist for her granddaughter.

Article content

Orléans-West Innes Coun. Laura Dudas addressed the playgroup closure in a social-media post on Tuesday, stating she confirmed with the head of children’s services at the City of Ottawa that funding previously allocated to the closed centres would stay in the east end.

Article content

“Their short-term goal is to maintain access to these vital programs as quickly as possible by increasing capacity at a nearby EarlyON locations so families continue to have access to these high-quality programs and resources,” Dudas wrote.

Article content

She added the city was also exploring longer-term solutions to keep playgroup services in the east end and would consider proposals for new locations in the new year.

Article content

But, for parents such as Patnaik, the need to fill the gap created by Charlemagne’s closure is immediate.

Article content

“Even if another centre opens up in six months, that’s six months of parents having to pivot and trying to find something to do,” she said. “I think it’s going to have a detrimental impact. We need a solution right away.”
