All the talk ahead of Bellator 299 in Dublin was that undefeated Irish prospect, Ciaran Clarke, would be a free agent beyond the 3 Arena date. Despite talks of UFC and PFL interest, Clarke confirms on this episode of The Craic that he has re-signed for 18 months with Bellator despite the rumours of their fast-approaching sale. The 8-0 submission specialist underlined why he wanted to re-sign with Bellator, what a potential sale of the company could mean for him further down the line and much more.  Clarke also discusses his passionate fan base, his faith and his relationship with SBG head coach John Kavanagh.

Petesy goes solo on this episode to speak about what appears to be the final Bellator Dublin event. Fresh off his vacation, our fearless host presented Montirex: Live in Dublin on Friday night with special guests Leon Edwards, Brendan Loughnane, Mick Conlan and Belters Only. Petesy speaks about the experience and his interactions with the fighters. He also gives his thoughts on Saturday night's Bellator 299 event and the legacy Bellator has imprinted on the Irish scene? What should promotions learn from Bellator's time here and why they shouldn't rely so heavily on one gym as Bellator did with John Kavanagh's SBG.

Our Great Coach on this episode is Matt Thornton. Matt is a Brazilian Ju Jitsu coach, who has coached some of the greatest Mixed Martial Arts fighters in the world. He is the founder of the Straight Blast Gym, where he has developed cross training in several martial arts as well as boxing and wrestling. The gym now has over 50 affiliate academies located around the world. Fighters he has coached include Randy Couture, Forrest Griffin, and Dan Henderson while he has also helped develop the careers of coaches like John Kavanagh and Karl Tanswell. He is also a guest lecturer on philosophy and has recently published a book called The Gift of Violence: Practical Knowledge for Surviving and Thriving in a Dangerous World. In this philosophical and insightful interview some of the highlights for me were: • His core philosophy of Aliveness, which emphasizes training on timing, energy and motion through competing to deliver repeated experiments. • The idea that you can't acquire meaningful skill in Brazilian Ju Jitsu without submitting 1000's of times. And through this approach to testing and learning through failure you achieve progress • And his belief that "frustration in the moment is almost always a useless emotion. So you run into a problem in a fight, or you run into a problem in a match. That's something that we're here to solve. That's a puzzle that will admit to a solution."

For three years in a row, Arizona's Republican state lawmakers tried to pass legislation to bar what was described as "critical race theory" from being taught in Arizona classrooms. They wanted to restrict schools from teaching anything that could be perceived as judging a person based on race or ethnicity, or cause a person to feel ashamed because of their race or ethnicity. This year, the bill passed though the House and Senate, but Gov. Katie Hobbs promptly vetoed it, saying it would only serve to divide and antagonize. It wasn't the only scolding from the Democratic governor, who has served as a buffer against other legislation rooted in the culture wars. She vetoed the pronoun bill SB 1001 and the bathroom bill SB 1040 – both measures aimed at the hot topic of transgender rights in Arizona's schools and sponsored by Sen. John Kavanagh. Hobbs disposed of a bill rooted in another issue of the moment: drag shows. She also vetoed a measure that would have barred state financial investments in any operation that adheres to diversity, equity and inclusion policies. And that's just a sampling of legislation in 2023. Last year, Arizona emerged on the front lines of the culture wars when then-Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, signed bills that banned gender-affirming care for transgender youth and required student athletes to compete in the gender category that matches the sex they were assigned at birth. These policies have been enacted in numerous other Republican-controlled states. This week on The Gaggle, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, Steve McIntosh joins host Mary Jo Pitzl. McIntosh is the director and co-founder of Cultural Evolution, a nonprofit that strives to integrate contrasting points of view when examining social issues. Together, they discuss the sudden popularity of culture war issues, why they have emerged in a warlike context and their effect on politics. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by Johnny Walker and Anthony “Lionheart” Smith in separate interviews as the two light heavyweights approach their co-main event on Saturday afternoon's UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Almeida card in Charlotte. Johnny Walker joins the show almost instantly as the 7th-ranked light heavyweight shares how two near-death experiences early in his life have given him a glass half-full outlook on life and his MMA career. The Brazilian then reflects on how meeting his wife led him to Ireland, where he and coach John Kavanagh have been crafting a game plan for the experienced Anthony Smith in Saturday's co-main event. Jim and Matt then dive deep into the card for some predictions from the prelims on up to the main event, but make sure to save their prediction for the co-main event until after Anthony Smith hops on to explain the importance of flying back home to his family in Omaha for weekends despite training in Colorado on Monday through Friday. Showing off the analytical skills that have made him a rotating member of the UFC's broadcast team, Smith then provides an in-depth assessment on Johnny Walker ahead of their fight on Saturday afternoon. As soon as Smith's interview ends, Jim and Matt stay true to their promise by delivering their predictions for the co-main event.

Matt Thornton received his blue belt from the legendary Rickson Gracie in 1993 and was the first person in the state of Oregon to receive a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He also gave John Kavanagh, father of MMA in Ireland and trainer to UFC legend Conor McGregor, his black belt. Matt's school, Straight Blast Gym (SBG), became Oregon's first MMA-style gym. His book, "The Gift of Violence: Practical Knowledge for Surviving and Thriving in a Dangerous World," comes out on April 11th, 2023.

Gender identity protection for parents is the next step needed to push back against groomers.

From the award-winning author of Two Crows Sorrow comes another historical true crime story about secret identities, deception, and murder.At the turn of the century, an ex-convict from Ireland arrives in the back country of rural Nova Scotia, whereupon he is accused of murdering a man and burying him in the victim's own cellar under a pile of potatoes. Rooted in Deception follows the life of John Kavanagh and how this petty criminal deceives everyone in his path until he is eventually accused of a heinous and violent murder for which he is ultimately hanged. But how much of the tragedy was of his own doing and how much had been woven by his enemies? Told from a variety of perspectives, including that of the accused, the book creates a sympathetic case for a man who may deserve none. Using primary sources including newspaper articles, trial transcripts and actual letters from the accused, the true story of the murder of Freeman Harvey is told using creative nonfiction devices to fill in the gaps of the narrative. Rooted in Deception follows Two Crows Sorrow, which was awarded the 2020 Bronze Award for best creative nonfiction by the Miramichi Reader. ROOTED IN DECEPTION-Laura Churchill Duke

The Arizona House of Representatives passed the bill in a 31-26 vote Thursday. It now heads to the desk of Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican who has signed restrictions on abortion since becoming governor in 2015. A spokesman for Mr. Ducey didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. The legislative efforts in Arizona follow similar moves in Florida, where Republican lawmakers earlier this month approved a ban on most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. These bills are similar to the Mississippi law at the center of a Supreme Court case that challenges the high court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which established a constitutional right to end a pregnancy. Similar bills in West Virginia and Kentucky passed one chamber in those state legislatures. The Arizona law, known as SB 1164, bars abortions in the state after 15 weeks of pregnancy, weeks earlier than current precedent established by the Supreme Court. The law allows for exceptions in medical emergencies. It doesn’t include exceptions for instances of rape or incest. Lawmakers who supported these bills say, if passed, the laws would allow states to more quickly and easily enforce abortion restrictions similar to Mississippi’s should the Supreme Court uphold the 15-week ban. Some Republican state lawmakers said they anticipate the court could either uphold this law or overturn Roe v. Wade. A decision is expected no later than the summer. Arizona Rep. John Kavanagh, one of the Republican lawmakers who introduced the 15-week ban and voted in favor of the bill Thursday, told The Wall Street Journal earlier this year he wished to prepare the state for either of those outcomes. Arizona is one of several states with pre-existing laws banning abortion that were passed before Roe v. Wade. If the high court’s precedent is overturned, the law could be resurrected. The Texas Heartbeat Act, which bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy in the Lone Star State, is an exception. The law, which took effect in September 2021, created a new enforcement structure that allows private citizens to bring civil lawsuits against abortion providers as well as anyone who aids or abets an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. Idaho Gov. Brad Little, a Republican, signed a similar bill on Wednesday banning abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. The legislation doesn’t grant officials enforcement authority and instead gives that power to private citizens—a precedent the governor expressed concerns over. To which Vice President Harris Tweeted: “Idaho Gov. Little signed an appalling bill yesterday to restrict abortion access after six weeks. This bill harms women, particularly those who are most vulnerable. We'll continue to fight to ensure all women have the right to make their own health care decisions.” The VP was also recently talking about the significance of the passage of time: https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1505964846172491780?s=20&t=QdbTjWjZAaZB0xzLCbUwzQ Play video https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/woke-home-depot-flyer-causes-online-stir The Home Depot became the subject of controversy online this week over an employee training pamphlet found at a Canadian location that was leaked on social media, sparking accusations that the company has gone "woke." The flyer that was reportedly posted in a break room at a Calgary, Alberta, Home Depot showed the home improvement giant's logo and was titled, "Leading Practices: Unpacking Privilege." It asks employees to literally "check" their "privilege," whether it be "white privilege," class privilege," "Christian privilege," "cisgender privilege," "able-bodied privilege," or "heterosexual privilege." The two-pager goes on to encourage workers to discuss white privilege and race with their colleagues, and offers tips on how to do so. Meanwhile, the U.S.-based company confirmed to FOX Business that the pamphlet had been posted for employees up north, but said the contents were not cleared by corporate. "While we fully support diversity across our company, this material was not created or approved by our corporate diversity, equity and inclusion department," a Home Depot spokesperson said in a statement. "This was a resource in our Canadian division and not part of any required programming."
