The voters elected Tim Kelly over Kim White in the Chattanooga mayor’s race Tuesday by a 15,966 to 10,661 count.
In 2005, the only other year in which a woman had been one of the top two candidates, Ann Coulter actually did a little better with 12,873 votes while also losing to Ron Littlefield’s 15,224 total.

Last Wednesday, as negotiations for the trilogy match between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier were being finalized, the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion proposed via Twitter that the UFC create a specialty event for the occasion, the McGregor Belt. McGregor suggested that the belt be “rose gold and rubies, think Patek rare” but was open to other ideas as well. And now fourth-ranked lightweight contender Michael Chandler wants to fight for it.
Chandler is currently scheduled to face Charles Oliveira for the vacant lightweight title at UFC 262 next month. Should Chandler win, and should McGregor win his rubber match fight with Poirier this summer, Chandler says the two can have a champion vs. champion bout at the end of the year.

Rick Glenn’s postponed return to the octagon following a long hiatus has a new date.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Glenn will take on Joaquim Silva at the UFC’s event on June 19, which currently does not have a location or venue announced by the UFC.
Glenn will make his first octagon appearance since a unanimous decision loss to Kevin Aguilar at the TUF 28 Finale in November 2018 after dealing with a variety of injuries, which included a major hip surgery, Glenn told MMA Fighting in November. “The Gladiator” was scheduled to face Carlton Minus at UFC Vegas 17 in December before a positive COVID-19 test scratched him from the bout. Glenn looks to pick up his first win since earning a decision against Dennis Bermudez at UFC Fight Night 133 in July 2018.
Dan Ige has faced many challenges throughout his nearly decade long MMA career, but as he gets ready to compete this Saturday, there’s another challenge looming; fatherhood.
