AVED, Jacques-André-Joseph French painter (b. 1702, Douai, d. 1766, Paris) Portrait of Carl Gustav Tessin, Swedish Politician c. 1740 Oil on canvas, 149 x 116 cm Nationalmuseum, Stockholm Carl Gustaf Tessin (1695-1770) was a Swedish Count and politician and son of architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. He was one of the most brilliant personages of his day, and the most prominent representative of French culture in Sweden. He was also a fine orator. The Swedish ambassador Carl Gustaf Tessin sits in his library in a dressing gown, surrounded by his collections. In his hands, he holds an engraving by Marc-Antonio Raimondi of Raphael's fresco The Triumph of Galatea. The arrows fired by the cupids in the engraving seem to be aimed at Tessin's heart – perhaps an expression of his love for the great master of art. The portrait was intended as a gift to his friend, the architect Carl Harleman.

Paddy Pimblett Accepts Jake Paul’s $1 Million “Spar Me” Challange

Paddy Pimblett Accepts Jake Paul’s $1 Million “Spar Me” Challange

Jake Paul’s $1 million sparring challenge to UFC lightweight contender Paddy Pimblett has been accepted, but he won’t travel before his bout on December 10. “Challenge accepted,” Pimblett said in a video posted by ESPN’s Marc Raimondi, “But I’m not going to Puerto Rico when I’m fighting next Saturday.

I just saw a clip of Stephen A Smith and Jake Paul talking UFC revenue split and Paul brought up the UFC pays about 15% of total revenue to fighters. This is a fact. It is indisputable The UFC has kept fighter pay at a 15-20ish% rate of revenue for almost two solid decades. It’s on court record. I won’t post the video cause I know the sight of Paul makes a lot of you sick, cause he’s a trash person.

But Smith returned that none of the journalists he has ever talked to have ever told him this. To his “credit”, he didn’t try to fight Paul on it. He just said none of the journalist who he has spoken to have never told him this. Mind you, MMA reporter Marc Raimondi works at ESPN and has been covering the UFC antitrust lawsuit for YEARS now. And brings up this revenue split in every article about the lawsuit.

Now, I don’t expect Stephen A Smith to know, or even care, about this topic. Man is a talking head who barely actually watches the sports he does like and commentate on. My question is who are the hypothetical MMA journalist that Stephen A has spoken with that do not know about this?
