In 2010 the UFC's undisputed king of trash talking, Chael Sonnen somehow managed to get a title shot against then middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
Leading up to the fight Sonnen said everything he could to insult Silva. The two fought on August 7, 2010. To everyone's surprise Sonnen dominated the bout and was on his way to victory when Silva secured a triangle armbar and submitted Sonnen with less then 2 minutes remaining in the fight.
The two would fight again on July 7, 2012. This time Silva dominated and won by 2nd round TKO. In the premiere of Life+Times new series called STATIC, they take a look back at the rivalry. Hosted by Roy Jones Jr.

Chris Brown has his freedom again after being released from a Los Angeles County jail on Monday morning, June 2.
According to the Associated Press, Breezy walked out of jail at 12:01 A.M. The singer had been locked up since March 14, following a probation violation triggered by his expulsion from an anger management rehab facility.
On May 9, Chris was sentenced to one year in jail by Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin after admitting he also violated his probation by being involved in an altercation outside of the W Hotel in Washington, D.C. in October 2013. However, he was released early after getting credit for time served in jail and rehab as well a good behavior jail credits.
The singer still faces an assault trial in the D.C. case that will begin later this year.

The group gave the audience at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey their money's worth as they performed a mix of songs from 50's new album Animal Ambition and classic tracks from their extensive catalog.
The set list included "On Fire," "So Seductive" "Shorty Wanna Ride," "Smoke" featuring Trey Songz, "Don't Worry 'Bout It" featuring Yo Gotti, "I Smell Pussy," "Pilot," "U Should Be Here" and "Cuffin Season" remix with Fabolous.
The G-Unit reunion was just part of an epic night. 50 and Nas linked back up for a monumental moment in hip hop. The two Queens, New York music icons shared the stage while 50 rapped his way through "I Get Money" and "I'm Rising to the Top."

The cycle of senseless violence continues in Chicago. 21-year old rapper OTF NuNu, real name McArthur Swindle, was gunned down Saturday, May 31, in broad daylight while sitting in his car.
The Chicago Tribune reports that an unknown assailant walked up to NuNu's car, which was parked at Chatham Village Square mall and started shooting.
NuNu, also known as Nuski, attempted to flee the scene, but crashed into the B*Fresh clothing store. The rapper was the cousin of Lil Durk.
The two released a music video for the song "OC" just last week.
“It needs to stop,” Nunu's aunt told the Chicago Sun Times . “He was a good person. He was a kindhearted person. He had a lot of soul.”

Justin Bieber and his public relations team will probably be hard at work this week trying to diffuse negative feedback from a racist joke he made.
The Sun obtained footage of a Bieber making the offensive joke about African Americans while sitting with friends. One of them tries unsuccessfully to stop him from saying it.
"Why are black people afraid of chainsaws?" he asks before delivering the punchline. "Run n*gger, n*gger, n*gger, n*gger, n*gger."
The tape was reportedly made in 2011, during the filming of Justin's documentary, Never Say Never.
According to The Sun, Bieber offered a large sum of money to prevent the tape from leaking. Some think this will damage the 20-year old pop superstar's career, but his legion of fans are defending him by saying he has too many black friends to be racist and the tape is old.
What do you think about the brewing controversy? Should Justin issue a public apology? Will this hurt his career?

— Arsenio Hall (@ArsenioHall) May 30, 2014Arsenio Hall's return to late night television didn't go as planned. CBS Television Production has pulled the plug after one season because of low ratings.
Hall manged to land quality guests and entertainer's this past year, but with the talk show circuit packed with names like Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Chelsea Lately, David Letterman and others, Arsenio couldn't establish a foothold.
CBS said in a statement: “Unfortunately, ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ will not return for a second season; while there are many loyal fans of the show, the series did not grow its audience enough to continue. Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we’d like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show. We’d also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show.”
Hall also issued a statement.
"I'm gratified for the year we've had and proud of the show we created," he said.
Better to have loved and lost ...

LOS ANGELES (Associated Press) — Donald Sterling won't get to fight for his Los Angeles Clippers in front of NBA owners next week. His only chance now is in court.
He could just pocket about $1 billion, his share of the proceeds from the record-breaking sale of a team that the league was prepared to take away from him. But don't count on it. His lawyers say he'll fight the league and his family to keep the team he bought for just $12 million in 1981.
His estranged wife negotiated the deal to sell the Clippers for $2 billion to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, saying she owns half the team and controls the family trust. A person close to the family told The Associated Press that Shelly Sterling took over the family's assets because Donald Sterling, 80, was stripped of his ability to act as a co-trustee after two neurologists determined he was suffering from dementia.
The individual, who is familiar with the trust and the medical evaluations but wasn't authorized to speak publicly, said Sterling was deemed "mentally incapacitated" according to the trust's conditions because he showed "an inability to conduct business affairs in a reasonable and normal manner."
"There is specific language and there are protocols about what to do, and steps in order to get a sole trustee position and that's what took place in the last couple of days," the individual said.
On Friday, the NBA canceled next week's hearing to oust Sterling, instead moving forward to vote on whether to approve the sale to Ballmer. Also Friday, Sterling's attorneys filed a federal lawsuit against the league and Commissioner Adam Silver, asking for damages in excess of $1 billion.
The lawsuit says Donald Sterling is still a co-trustee and doesn't want to sell the team.
"The assertion that Donald Sterling lacks mental capacity is absurd," attorney Bobby Samini said. He would not give more details on Donald Sterling's condition.
The suit alleges that the NBA violated Sterling's constitutional rights by relying on information from an illegal recording that publicized racist remarks he made to a girlfriend. It also says the league committed a breach of contract by fining Sterling $2.5 million and that it violated antitrust laws by forcing a sale.
Shelly Sterling said that she had agreed to sell the team to Ballmer "under her authority as the sole trustee of The Sterling Family Trust, which owns the Clippers."
Donald Sterling can try to reinstate his trusteeship by appealing to the California Probate Court.
The NBA said Friday that the league, Shelly Sterling and The Sterling Family Trust had "resolved their dispute over the ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers."
"Under the agreement, the Clippers will be sold to Steve Ballmer, pending approval by the NBA Board of Governors, and the NBA will withdraw its pending charge to terminate the Sterlings' ownership of the team," it said.
The league said that Shelly Sterling and The Sterling Family Trust also "agreed not to sue the NBA and to indemnify the NBA against lawsuits from others, including Donald Sterling."
That means whatever monetary damages Donald Sterling may receive under the suit — filed on behalf of Sterling and The Sterling Family Trust — may go out one pocket and back in the other unless he is reinstated as a trustee and can nullify the agreement.
The medical evaluation was made earlier this month when Donald Sterling made voluntary visits to two neurologists who conducted tests, including brain scans, the individual said. Though Donald Sterling is no longer a co-trustee of The Sterling Family Trust, he still retains his 50 percent ownership and still receives proceeds from the sale, the individual said.
But Sterling, already a billionaire, seems uninterested in the cash. His lawsuit seeks the elimination of his lifetime ban from the NBA.
"Mr. Sterling's lawsuit is predictable, but entirely baseless," NBA general counsel Rick Buchanan said. "Among other infirmities, there was no 'forced sale' of his team by the NBA — which means his antitrust and conversion claims are completely invalid. Since it was his wife Shelly Sterling, and not the NBA, that has entered into an agreement to sell the Clippers, Mr. Sterling is complaining about a set of facts that doesn't even exist."
The ownership hearing had been scheduled for next Tuesday after the NBA charged Sterling with damaging the league with his racist comments. A three-quarters vote of owners to support the charge would have terminated the Sterlings' ownership, and the league would have sold the team.
Ballmer said in a statement that he is honored to have his name submitted to the NBA for approval. The price has blown past previous offers for an NBA team.
"Obviously, I saw $2 billion. That gave me a reaction," said Miami Heat star LeBron James, who had been vocal in calling for both Sterlings to be out of the league. "... Any time a 'B' goes after a number, man, you already know that you're talking about some real money."
Ballmer and investor Chris Hansen headed a group that agreed to a deal to buy the Kings from the Maloof family in January 2013 with the intention of moving the team to Seattle, where the SuperSonics played until 2008.
But Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson lobbied the NBA for time to put together a bid to keep the team in California, and though the Ballmer-Hansen group later increased its offer, owners voted to deny the bid for relocation and the Kings were sold to Vivek Ranadive.
Johnson, who has been advising the NBA Players Association in the wake of Sterling's comments, praised Ballmer in a series of tweets Friday night.
"When the Clips play next season, players will be proud to wear the logo on their chest & fans will be proud to cheer for their hometown team," Johnson wrote.
