“No disrespect to other fighters” – Francis Ngannou claims Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira is not the biggest fight ever

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has shared his thoughts on the rumored super fight between Jon Jones and Alex Pereira. Now the PFL Super Fights Heavyweight Champion, Ngannou certainly understands the desire to face off against Jones.

Tom Aspinall, the current UFC heavyweight champion, previously claimed that Jones “ducked” Ngannou during his time in the UFC. Additionally, Jones appeared to avoid fighting Aspinall, choosing instead to fight Stipe Miocic before retiring from competition. However, ‘Bones’ seems eager to return to the octagon, with Alex Pereira potentially being his target for the upcoming UFC White House event.

Speaking to TMZ Sports, Ngannou was asked which matchup would be bigger: Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira or Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou. “You know the answer, you don’t need me for that,” Ngannou replied. When pressed for a more definitive answer, he confidently stated:

> “Biggest fight of all time can only happen with Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. No disrespect to other fighters, I respect all the fights and all the fighters, regardless of if they fight on the main card or prelim, whatever or wherever. Great fights happen everywhere. I became a world champion at the Apex.”

Ngannou also admitted that the fight would be the biggest only if held at the White House, adding a touch of humor and intrigue to the speculation.

Watch Francis Ngannou’s comments beginning at 4:00 in the interview below.

### Ngannou Shuts Down Any Hopes of a UFC Return

Although a Francis Ngannou vs. Jon Jones matchup would undoubtedly be a monumental fight for the White House event, chances of Ngannou returning to the UFC appear very slim.

Rumors of a comeback circulated earlier in the year, but UFC president Dana White dismissed the possibility following the UFC Baku event. White admitted he was not a fan of Ngannou and said it would be a big surprise if the former champion returned.

Ngannou didn’t stay silent on the subject either, posting a comeback message on X (formerly Twitter):

> “Did I say I’m ever coming back? 🤔”

With this clear back-and-forth, it remains uncertain if Ngannou will ever compete in the UFC again, but fans can still dream of what could have been the biggest fight in MMA history.

Trump Grants Sweeping Pardons to Dozens Targeted After 2020 Election [WATCH]

President Donald Trump has issued a broad pardon proclamation extending clemency to dozens of allies who faced prosecution over efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election. The order, signed and released by the White House, declares the pardons part of an effort to correct what the president called a “grave national injustice” and move toward “national reconciliation.”

“This proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 presidential election and continues the process of national reconciliation,” the document reads.

The proclamation grants “a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of presidential electors, whether or not recognized by any state or state official in connection with the 2020 presidential election, as well as for any conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in the 2020 presidential election.”

Among those named are several high-profile figures who became central to post-election investigations, including Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s former personal attorney and former mayor of New York; John Eastman, one of Trump’s lawyers involved in election-related legal strategies; and Tyler Bowyer, a senior member of Turning Point USA.

In total, the list includes more than 70 individuals. Some of the names listed in the document are Mark Amick, Kathy Berden, Christina Bobb, Joseph Brannan, Carol Brunner, Mary Buestrin, Darryl Carlson, James “Ken” Carroll, Brad Carver, Robert Cheeley, Kenneth Chesebro, Hank Choate, Jeffrey Clark, Vikki Consiglio, Nancy Cottle, James DeGraffenreid, John Downey, Jenna Ellis, Boris Epshteyn, Amy Facchinello, Bill Feehan, Carolyn Fisher, Harrison Floyd, Clifford Frost, Kay Godwin, Edward Scott Grabins, Stanley Grot, John Haggard, Scott Hall, Misty Hampton, David G. Hanna, Mark Hennessy, Mari-Ann Henry, Durward James Hindle III, Andrew Hitt, Jake Hoffman, Burt Jones, Anthony T. Moorhead, Loraine Pellegrino, Sidney Powell, James Renner, Eileen Rice, Mayra Rodriguez, Mike Roman, Rose Rook, Kelly Ruh, Greg Safsten, David Shafer, Marian Sheridan, Ray Stallings Smith III, Robert F. Spindell Jr., Shawn Still, Ken Thompson, Pam Travis, James Troupis, Kent Vanderwood, Kelli Ward, Michael Ward, and C. B. Yadav.

The proclamation notes that the pardon applies only to those whose conduct was directly related to post-election challenges or alternate elector efforts, as well as activities tied to investigating or exposing alleged voting irregularities.

In a statement posted to X, Tyler Bowyer expressed gratitude toward President Trump and others who supported those charged in connection with the post-election cases.

“I am very grateful for the support of the President and his pardon attorney Ed Martin, and the many who have looked out for us since this expensive injustice has taken place in the swing states,” he wrote. “We were targeted to sideline many of us politically. It has nearly bankrupted and caused severe trauma to many good people on this list—this is why it is important to get to the bottom of what was carried out against good faith and active citizens who took to the courts to ask questions about the 2020 election.”

While the proclamation offers comprehensive relief for those prosecuted or investigated, it explicitly excludes President Trump himself.

“This pardon does not apply to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump,” the document states. That clarification ensures that any ongoing or future legal proceedings involving the president personally are not affected by the order.

The move, however, effectively brings to a close years of prosecutions, investigations, and civil actions targeting individuals tied to Trump’s post-election legal and political efforts.

Bobby Deol to play a grey character in Ahaan Panday’s next with Ali Abbas Zafar: Report

With back-to-back impactful performances, Bobby Deol has turned the second innings of his career into one of the most anticipated phases in Bollywood. Audiences are still captivated by his intense roles in *Animal* and *The Ba****ds of Bollywood*. Now, the latest buzz is something that will surely excite his Gen Z fan base.

### Bobby Deol to Play a Grey Character in Ahaan Panday’s Next with Ali Abbas Zafar: Report

Rumours suggest that Bobby will once again be seen in a grey-shaded role in Ahaan Panday’s upcoming film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, which also stars Sharvari. A report by Mid-Day quoted a trade source saying, “It would be incorrect to call him the villain. His character holds an authoritative position in the film, but there’s more to him than meets the eye. As the story progresses, Bobby’s character develops grey shades, which influence his dynamics with the hero.”

Interestingly, Bobby is already set to take on a full-fledged negative role in Aditya Chopra’s *Alpha*, headlined by Alia Bhatt and Sharvari.

The report further mentioned that Ali Abbas Zafar did not want to present Bobby in a similar all-black avatar for this film. The source added, “Ali and producer Aditya Chopra were clear from the beginning that the character shouldn’t be entirely menacing or evil, as Bobby has already explored such roles. The director designed a larger-than-life persona keeping Bobby in mind, while also giving the character emotional depth and shades of grey. Bobby came on board just a week ago.”

As per the report, Zafar is expected to travel to England soon for the film’s recce. If all goes as planned, the project is likely to go on floors in the first quarter of 2026.

While the speculation surrounding the film has already stirred excitement among fans, an official confirmation about Bobby Deol’s casting is still awaited.

Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) Stock: Rises as Low-Cost ‘Bazaar’ Service Expands to 14 Global Markets

Amazon Stock Inches Up Following Global Expansion of Amazon Bazaar

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) shares closed at $244.41, up 0.56% on November 7, 2025, before gaining an additional 0.3% in after-hours trading to $245.15. The modest rise in stock price came shortly after the e-commerce giant announced a significant global expansion of its low-cost retail platform, Amazon Bazaar.

Amazon Bazaar, branded as Haul in the U.S., extends Amazon’s reach into 14 new international markets, underscoring the company’s push to capture the rapidly growing ultra-budget online shopping segment currently dominated by Chinese fast-fashion giants Shein and PDD Holdings’ Temu.

### Amazon Bazaar Takes on Shein and Temu

Originally launched in Mexico in 2024, and later expanded to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Amazon Bazaar specializes in ultra-affordable products such as $10 dresses and $5 accessories, targeting cost-conscious consumers worldwide. The latest rollout includes countries like Hong Kong, the Philippines, Nigeria, and Taiwan.

Most items on the platform are priced below $10, with some as inexpensive as $2, spanning categories from home goods to fashion. This aggressive pricing strategy positions Amazon Bazaar to directly compete with Shein, which operates in over 160 countries, and Temu, which ships to at least 70 countries.

### Analyst Perspective: A Long-Term Global Play

Industry analysts view the expansion as a strategic move to strengthen Amazon’s position in emerging e-commerce markets. Gil Luria, an analyst at D.A. Davidson & Co., described Amazon Bazaar as a notable step in the company’s international growth strategy. He emphasized that Amazon typically enters markets when confident of achieving profitability.

Luria also noted that while Amazon’s international ventures often take years to generate returns, the success of low-cost products through Bazaar could enable Amazon to expand well beyond its current 23 markets, potentially reaching nearly every country globally.

### Strong International Revenue Growth

Amazon reported international revenue of $40.9 billion in Q3 2025, marking a 10% year-over-year increase (excluding foreign exchange effects). This growth reflects the company’s successful expansion and increasing demand across international markets.

### Competitive Landscape and Tariff Pressures

The move to globalize Amazon Bazaar comes as competitors Shein and Temu accelerate their own international expansions. The competitive landscape intensified following the Trump administration’s removal of the de minimis trade exemption, which previously allowed shipments under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free.

While this policy change has created challenges for low-cost importers, it has simultaneously provided Amazon with an opportunity to leverage its robust logistics and compliance infrastructure to capture market share.

### Outlook and Stock Performance

Amazon’s stock continues to showcase strong momentum, with year-to-date returns of 11.4% and a one-year gain of 16.36%, outperforming many of its peers. Over the past three years, the stock has gained nearly 170%, reflecting robust investor confidence in Amazon’s long-term growth potential.

By expanding Amazon Bazaar globally, Amazon is strategically positioning itself to compete aggressively in the fast-growing budget retail segment while reinforcing its international market leadership.

Is this Samsung’s Exynos and Snapdragon plan for the Galaxy S26?

It’s looking increasingly likely that Exynos will take the lead on the Galaxy S26 series. Samsung appears to be in a strong position to produce the Exynos 2600 at a scale needed to deliver tens of millions of chips for the new handsets.

However, there is also an expectation that the latest Snapdragon chipset will be used in the Galaxy S26 Ultra—at least in some markets. A new rumor now claims to reveal Samsung’s plan for this chipset split, and it’s not much different from previous years.

The rumor, originating from the X (formerly Twitter) echo chamber, suggests there’s a high chance Samsung will go fully Exynos for the Galaxy S26 series in its home country of South Korea. This would mean even the Galaxy S26 Ultra offered in South Korea will feature Exynos exclusively.

Reports also indicate Samsung is planning to use Exynos in most regions outside the United States, China, and Japan. All three models—the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra—would thus be powered by Samsung’s own chipset in most markets, confirming the company intends Exynos to take the lead in its next flagship lineup. The Snapdragon is expected to be reserved for the Galaxy S26 Ultra only, and possibly only in select regions.

Based on the information available so far, both the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ will use the Exynos chipset exclusively across all global markets. There could be some disappointment among fans in regions where the Snapdragon Ultra isn’t offered, but Samsung has dealt with these preferences before, and it likely won’t have a major impact on sales.

Besides, early reports suggest the Exynos 2600 is shaping up to be a very capable chipset, potentially narrowing the gap between Exynos and Snapdragon performance for the upcoming Galaxy S26 series.

BBC Chiefs Quit Amid Accusations It Misled Viewers Over Trump Speech

Two top executives from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) have resigned amid allegations that the UK broadcaster misled viewers by editing a speech given by President Donald Trump on the day of the Capitol riot.

A documentary aired last year appeared to show Trump urging his supporters to “walk down to the Capitol” and “fight like hell.” However, in reality, he said they should “cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.” The phrase “fight like hell” was taken from a different part of his speech.

Bloomberg Opinion columnist Rosa Prince offers further insights. Please note that the views expressed are her own.

Solana Rebounds as Major Institutions Add Exposure and ETFs Continue to See Inflows

**Altcoins: Institutional Appetite for Solana Surges as Major Financial Players Reveal ETF Holdings**

Institutional interest in Solana is gaining significant momentum, with financial heavyweights Rothschild Investment and PNC Financial Services disclosing their holdings in newly launched Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These filings arrive amid continued inflows into Solana products, even as Bitcoin and Ethereum funds face substantial redemptions.

### Major Institutions Acquire Solana ETF Shares

In recent disclosures to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Rothschild Investment LLC, which manages approximately $1.5 billion in assets, reported owning 6,000 shares of the Volatility Shares Solana ETF (SOLZ), valued at around $132,000. Likewise, PNC Financial Services, overseeing close to $569 billion in assets, revealed possession of 1,453 SOLZ shares worth approximately $32,000.

These institutions join a growing list of traditional financial players—including Heck Capital Advisors, Belvedere Trading, and Tactive Advisors—that have steadily increased their exposure to Solana through ETF vehicles.

### Bitwise Solana ETF Maintains Strong Momentum

Adding to the bullish sentiment around Solana, Bitwise’s Solana ETF recorded inflows exceeding $126 million during its first full week of trading, marking eight consecutive days of net gains. This surge in interest contrasts sharply with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which collectively saw $2.6 billion in outflows during the same period, indicating a notable shift in institutional demand toward Solana.

Over the past two weeks, the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) and the Grayscale Solana ETF (GSOL) have together accumulated around $336 million in inflows. The BSOL fund alone accounts for $323.8 million, driven by investor enthusiasm for Solana’s staking yields and strong on-chain performance.

### SOL Price Rebounds from Key Support Levels

Reflecting this growing optimism, Solana’s price climbed nearly 5% in the last 24 hours, trading around $169 after bouncing off recent lows near $150. According to CoinMarketCap, this price recovery coincides with rising ETF inflows and a more than 50% increase in trading volume—both signs of renewed market confidence.

Technical indicators further underscore improving sentiment. The daily chart shows SOL rebounding from its mid-October slump, with momentum indicators beginning to turn upward. The MACD histogram is nearing a bullish crossover zone, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved back above 43.

Analysts point to the $150 price level as critical support, noting that sustained buying pressure could propel SOL toward the $180-$200 range. Meanwhile, data from Coinglass reveals a 3% increase in open interest to $7.8 billion. Futures positions on CME and Binance have jumped 5% and 4%, respectively—another indication of strengthening bullish positioning.

### Institutional Interest Could Redefine Solana’s Market Outlook

The combination of steady ETF inflows and growing institutional exposure highlights Solana’s transformation from a rapidly developing blockchain project into an established, investment-grade asset. With ETFs providing regulated entry points for traditional investors, Solana’s integration into mainstream finance appears poised for significant expansion.

ESG Data Convergence Initiative Software and the Future of Sustainable Reporting

Sustainability reporting has entered a new phase. In recent years, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics have become central to how investors and companies assess performance, value, and risk.

However, as adoption grows, one challenge continues to hold businesses back — fragmented ESG data. Dozens of reporting frameworks, inconsistent metrics, and varying global standards make it difficult for organizations to present a clear and comparable sustainability profile.

This fragmentation not only hampers transparency but also complicates decision-making for investors seeking reliable ESG information.

The rise of the ESG Data Convergence Initiative and related software solutions aims to address these issues by streamlining and standardizing ESG data reporting. Such innovations promise to pave the way for more coherent, efficient, and impactful sustainable reporting.
