Call of Duty can be one alluring game capable of drawing the interest of even the best. Several renowned celebrities including Mila Kunis, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and more have revealed in the past that they play the popular shooter title. Kevin Durant, a professional basketball player, also appears to be one of them.
However, the game isn’t having a good time with several fans complaining about the persisting issues. It has seen a fair share of ebb and flow and is currently in a latter phase with Modern Warfare 3 failing to capture fans’ attention akin to its other sought-after titles. Durant has now revealed he has been addicted to the game but that doesn’t affect his performance.

The anime genre is one of the biggest and most widely known sources of enjoyment, boasting countless shows. Despite the numerous anime available to the audience, the indisputable fact remains that One Piece is the greatest anime and manga series out there. Consequently, Oda sensei is often regarded as the greatest mangaka ever.
Franky in One Piece
The One Piece world is immense, with numerous characters introduced ever since its debut on July 22, 1997. The ability to draw so many characters who are different from each other highlights the exceptional drawing skills of Oda sensei. However, despite his remarkable talent, there is one character in One Piece that he finds challenging to draw. If your guesses are either Zoro or Luffy, you would be mistaken. The individual most difficult to draw is none other than Franky Shogun.

Alessa Holloway looked simply stunning as she sizzled in a string bikini for a gorgeous beach pic.
The pro surfer posed in a skimpy black two-piece before jagged rocks with waves lapping gently into shore.
She stared demurely over her shoulder and seemed to bask in the sunshine that beamed down from a blue Hawaiian sky.
Alessa’s pose perfectly showcased her toned, tanned physique and stunning curves.
One heel was lifted gently off the sand, and her hands were raised to her long brown hair, which flowed down her back.
Alessa accessorized the look with gold bracelets on her right wrist, and the outfit revealed a tattoo on her side.

Pro surfer Alessa Quizon was absolutely stunning in a plunging bikini while surrounded by natural beauty.
The plunging black string bikini was placed perfectly to show off Alessa’s incredibly toned body and her amazing curves. The professional surfer looked like a goddess as she posed in a sitting position with her long legs slightly bent in front of her.
Alessa wore her hair loose, with it tossed over her shoulders in a wavy fashion. The faraway shot allowed the camera to truly capture her athletic look and figure from a distance.
The vacation-like destination was almost as beautiful as Alessa herself, showing a colorful cave with greens and purples, along with a blue body of water that flowed through the magnificent passage.
The 28-year-old athlete posted the gorgeous shot to Instagram, and it has received nearly 8,000 likes.

Update: Jorge Masvidal has signed to replace Gilbert Burns in a title match for the welterweight crown this Saturday at UFC 251 in Abu Dhabi against Kamaru Usman.
The need for Masvidal as a last-minute replacement came when Burns fell ill, reportedly with coronavirus. But signing is just phase one of the deal. Now Masvidal and Usman have to be tested for coronavirus. If they pass, they will be cleared to fly to Abu Dhabi.
Masvidal had previously been negotiating with the UFC to fight Usman, but terms couldn’t be reached. That’s when Burns was given a shot. Masvidal and Usman have a prior history of animosity, getting into a shouting match at the last Super Bowl’s media row.
Earlier: UFC 251 is reportedly cutting Gilbert Burns from its UFC 251, where he was scheduled to face welterweight champion Kamaru Usman on July 11 in a title fight.

The Ufc — in a major jump to digital away from traditional pay TV — inked an expanded pact with ESPN under which all of the mixed martial arts promoter’s pay-per-view events will be available exclusively on ESPN+ in the U.S. for the next seven years.
Under the agreement, the ESPN+ subscription streaming service will be the only way for Mma fans in America to purchase and watch the Ufc’s 12 annual PPV tentpole events through 2025. The deal kicks off with Ufc 236 on April 13, featuring a lightweight title fight between Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier. Ufc will continue to sell its PPV events to commercial establishments (like bars and restaurants) but individual fans will need to be ESPN+ paying customers to buy the pay-per-views going forward.
Ufc, majority owned by Endeavor, originally struck a $1.5 billion, five-year deal last year with the Disney-owned sports programmer, which nabbed the TV rights from Fox Sports.
