Nikolay Veretennikov sees no controversy in UFC 318 win: 'I'm sure I won'
NEW ORLEANS – Nikolay Veretennikov can breathe a little easier following the conclusion of UFC 318. Veretennikov (13-6 MMA, 1-2 UFC) entered Saturday's UFC pay-per-view event winless in the promotion, having lost his first two fights. A potential 0-3 run could've signaled the end of his UFC career, but he got his hand raised against Argentina's Francisco Prado, whom he defeated by split decision. "I had a lot of pressure going into this fight," Veretennikov said at his post-fight news conference. "It was very hard for me, but I'm here, and I would like to show everyone I'm not here for nothing. I'm here for a reason. The split decision was disputed by many observers. According to MMA Decisions, nine out of the 12 media members who scored the fight had it 29-28 for Prado (12-4 MMA, 1-4 UFC). Veretennikov knows it was a tough fight but felt confident that he had done enough to earn the victory. "I was sure I won this fight," Veretennikov explained. "I punched him hard. I did knock him down twice, and he was dizzy. He took me down twice, that was good, but I'm sure I won this fight. That's for sure." Overall, Veretennikov is over the moon to not only save his UFC career but to also log in his first UFC win ever. It's a special moment for Veretennikov. "I feel so great after this fight," Veretennikov said. "That was my first win in the UFC. I'm lucky. I'm lucky to be here, so I love it."

Meet the Maker: Big Ro6
Meet Big Ro6, the Indianapolis emcee who is bringing "pirate rap" to the masses. The inspo: Although it was released last fall, his latest single " Decisions" has grown into a viral smash over the past month thanks to both a unique delivery and a Blockbuster film. Big Ro6 (pronounced Big Rob) and "Decisions" also won over the judges on The Debut, a YouTube channel dedicated to showcasing up-and-coming hip-hop artists that he appeared on in November. His visit to the platform has garnered nearly 260,000 views. The intrigue: His big break came after Ryan Coogler's " Sinners" hit theaters on April 18, bringing attention to traditional Black and Irish music. Music fans found the perfect marriage of that mashup in "Decisions" which sees Big Ro6 employ a Gaelic-inspired, sea shanty-like delivery to create an extremely catchy cadence. With a gold grill that would be the envy of Captain Jack Sparrow, Big Ro6 plays up the swashbuckling for "Decisions," wearing a skull and crossbones shirt on the single's cover. Seriously, the only thing missing is a few "Arrr's" and someone walking a plank. By the numbers: By the time Big Ro6 dropped the video for "Decisions" on May 4, his prior live performances and overall buzz for the song sent it to the top of YouTube's trending page. The song now has nearly 7 million streams on YouTube between the original audio released last fall and this spring's visual. It has another 4.8 million streams on Spotify.

THE EQUALIZER Series Finale Recap: (S05E18) Decisions
The Equalizer Season 5 Episode 18, 'Decisions,' marks the end of the road for this series. The final episode starts with a couple hiking in the woods. As they realize they are lost and have been walking in circles, they come across Salazar's army. Before they can escape, Salazar and his army find them. When the couple asks them not to shoot them, Salazar instructs one of his soldiers to kill them with her knife. At that moment, he sees Robyn (Queen Latifah) and Dante (Tory Kittles) arriving at their cabin. He says that because of Robyn's skills, they need to use the element of surprise to win. RELATED: Read our recap of the previous episode of The Equalizer , 'Acceptance' The Equalizer, 'Decisions' Dante and Robyn are in the kitchen talking about the first time they met when a couple knocks on their door.

The neighbors refuse to leave and start drinking their way. Meanwhile, Mel (Liza Lapira) and Harry (Adam Goldberg) look deeper into Salazar and his role on the global stage. That is when Harry begins to wonder how long they will keep equalizing and putting their lives in danger. When Mel asks if this has anything to do with her PTSD, Harry tells her it's about survival. Harry wants to text Robyn about Salazar, but Mel stops him. She thinks Dante planned this getaway to propose to Robyn, but Harry doesn't think so because he believes Dante would have talked to him about it first. At that moment, a notification pops up on his computer, letting them know Salazar arrived near Robyn and Dante's cabin that morning. Now is the time to let them know what's happening.

When Robyn and Salazar run out of bullets, they start physically fighting. Salazar has a knife that Robyn manages to steal from him and uses to stab him. When she arrives back at the station to check on Dante, he gets down on one knee, pulls out a ring, and asks her to marry him in front of Mel and Harry. But before Robyn can give him an answer, Dante passes out. At home, Curtis tells Aunt Vi that he isn't trying to pressure her into moving in with him but is ready for the next step.
