A rising lightweight, Mauricio Ruffy, recently called out Saint-Danis for a UFC Fight Night main event amidst uncertainty over the French brawler’s status for UFC 315. Ruffy is unbeaten in his UFC tenure and is fresh off a brutal knockout win over King Green at UFC 313 If Saint-Denis remains adamant on fighting in Montreal he has a few reported options for short-notice replacements But one of them accused Saint-Denis of turning down a short-notice booking in a Top 15 clash Gamrot defeated Tsarukyan in a UFC Fight Night main event in June 2022 in a ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate by unanimous decision. Tsarukyan hasn’t lost a fight since the Gamrot bout, defeating the likes of Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush But Gamrot allegedly got the call to face Saint-Denis at UFC 315 In a recent post to X Gamrot accused Saint-Denis of ducking a short-notice matchup at UFC 315 what’s wrong with you guys?” Gamrot said of Saint-Denis Gamrot hasn’t fought since a split decision loss to Dan Hooker at UFC 305 in September. Before the loss to Hooker, Gamrot won three-straight bouts, including wins over Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev Saint-Denis is looking to get back in the win column after back-to-back TKO losses to Dustin Poirier and Renato Moicano in 2024 It’s the first losing skid of his MMA career UFC 315 is headlined by a welterweight title matchup between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena. If anything happens to either headlining fighter, Ian Machado Garry is ready to step in but Muhammad is perplexed by Garry’s short-notice backup role In a recent interview, Muhammad questioned why Garry would take a weeks’ notice backup role after defeating Carlos Prates at UFC Kansas City last month. Muhammad publicly dismissed Garry’s backup role as the pay-per-view draws closer Muhammad will make his first title defense after defeating Leon Edwards at UFC 304 last July. He was supposed to headline UFC 310 opposite Shavkat Rakhmonov before withdrawing due to a health issue Muhammad and Garry could potentially clash down the line but he doesn’t anticipate the fight coming to fruition this weekend at UFC 315 Mateusz Gamrot isn’t very happy with the lightweight Top 15 even though Gamrot has a win over Tsarukyan Gamrot apparently offered his service but was denied It’s not all bad news for Gamrot. “Gamer” is currently scheduled to face the unranked Ludovit Klein in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 107 later this month Klein is unbeaten since moving back up to 155 pounds Mateusz Gamrot is the most unpopular fighter at 155 pounds, Ludovit Klein notwithstanding “BSD turned down the fight next week, what’s wrong with you guys?” Gamrot wrote on Twitter Gamrot (24-3, 1 NC) is ranked six spots above Saint Denis in the official lightweight rankings and securing a victory this Sat 2025) in Montreal would have been the quickest way for “God of War” to get back into the 155-pound title hunt which both came by way of knockout/technical knockout For the current UFC 315 fight card and PPV lineup click here UFC lightweight contender Benoit Saint-Denis was set to battle Joel Alvarez on the UFC 315 main card on May 10 Alvarez withdrew due to an undisclosed injury Saint-Denis is unlikely to face a last-minute replacement The French fighter aims to rebound from back-to-back TKO losses in 2024 which is a stark contrast from his earlier dominance Saint-Denis is currently the number 13 ranked fighter in the lightweight division who was going to take on the 15th ranked Alvarez This cancellation disrupts his chance to regain momentum on a stacked pay-per-view card headlined by Belal Muhammad defending his welterweight title against Jack Della Maddalena 🇫🇷 🇧🇷 Mauricio Ruffy calls out Benoit Saint-Denis after Joel Alvarez pulled out due to injury."Hey, UFC!

After a promising five-fight winning streak, Saint-Denis faced setbacks, particularly a notable TKO loss to Renato Moicano in September 2024. This loss raised concerns about his readiness to compete at the highest level and added pressure for him to secure a victory at UFC 315 The matchup against Álvarez was intended as a pivotal moment for Saint-Denis to launch his comeback Despite the setback with the lightweight fight, UFC 315 remains a headline-worthy event with two championship bouts slated for the main card The welterweight title fight between reigning champion Belal Muhammad and the formidable challenger Jack Della Maddalena promises to deliver high-stakes drama as both fighters bring unique skills and tenacity to the octagon known for his grappling and strategic fighting style faces a daunting task against Della Maddalena who is touted for his striking and finishing ability The MMA community has expressed a mix of disappointment and optimism following the news of Álvarez’s withdrawal. Fighters, analysts, and fans alike took to social media to voice their concerns and share thoughts on the potential impact of this last-minute change. Many are calling for the UFC to select an intriguing replacement as the lightweight division feels the ripples of this disruption Contemplating the future, some analysts speculate that should no suitable replacement emerge, the decision to leave Saint-Denis without a fight could have long-term ramifications on his career. A prolonged absence from competition may stall his progress in a competitive division, while the UFC’s ability to navigate such challenges and maintain event momentum will surely be tested The last-minute cancellation of Benoît Saint-Denis vs. Joel Álvarez at UFC 315 is a significant blow to the event potentially impacting the card’s excitement As fans anticipate the championship double-header one must wonder how this change will affect the overall experience on fight night The lightweight bout between Benoît Saint-Denis and Joel Álvarez was removed from the UFC 315 card due to Álvarez’s withdrawal for undisclosed reasons it remains unclear if a short-notice replacement will be found for Benoît Saint-Denis leaving him without an opponent just a week before the fight night UFC 315 is scheduled for May 10, 2025, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, marking the UFC‘s return to Canada for this pay-per-view event UFC 315 will showcase a championship double-header with welterweight champion Belal Muhammad defending his title against Jack Della Maddalena and flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko facing Manon Fiorot in the co-main event Joel Álvarez last fought at UFC Tampa in December 2024, where he achieved a first-round knockout victory against Drakkar Klose, marking his third consecutive win before his withdrawal from UFC 315 Subscribe«Prev1 /797Next»Body Shot… and It Folded Him Instantly 🥶🥊 #Boxing #LiverShotKhamzat Chimaev Putting in Work 👊 #KhamzatChimaev #MMAFans Roasting Michael Bisping Never Gets Old 😂 #UFC #BispingAlex Pereira and Yousri Belgaroui Sharpen Each Other in Sparring 💥🥊 #MMA #Kickboxing«Prev1 /797Next» Season 1 of the NBC sitcom concluded on April 29 but matters just got worse with news of a main card fight cancellation The Montreal-based PPV features two title fights: Belal Muhammad defending his welterweight belt against Jack Della Maddalena and Valentina Shevchenko defending her flyweight belt against Manon Fiorot the card didn't have too much to offer arguably the third-most anticipated fight on the card is reportedly cancelled Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn ImagesReport: UFC 315 loses Benoit Saint-Denis vs Joel Alvarez lightweight clashThe main card lightweight banger between Benoit Saint-Denis and Joel Alvarez is reportedly off The news was first reported as 'not official' by @MagicM_MMABets on X Not official but hearing all day Joel Alvarez out next week Reputable outlet La Sueur and reporter Marcel Dorff later confirmed the news as true 🚨 Selon nos sources, Joel Alvarez serait FORFAIT pour son combat face à Benoît Saint Denis à l’#UFC315. ❌ pic.twitter.com/GL30UH0E39 Confirmed ✅️😔 https://t.co/m14Kshucbx The cancellation is a major hit to the UFC 315 card and served as one of the most exciting lightweight fights to have been booked in a while Alvarez maintains a 100 percent finishing rate in 22 victories and Saint-Denis was on a hot-streak before back-to-back losses assuming the UFC is looking for a short-notice replacement in the meantime Stick with MMAKnockout for more FREE coverage of the UFC, MMA, Boxing.

Saint-Denis most recently fell to Renato Moicano at UFC Paris in September Ruffy is quickly ascending the lightweight ranks and is knocking on the door of a potential spot in the Top 15 A win over an opponent of Saint-Denis’s caliber would almost certainly catapult him into the rankings Joel Alvarez won’t be fighting at UFC 315 “El Fenomeno” announced Sunday via Instagram that a hand injury has forced him out of his lightweight fight with Benoit Saint Denis, which was scheduled to take place at this Saturday’s pay-per-view event at Bell Center in Montreal.

The French fighter has 13 finishes to his name, though he is currently on a two-fight skid after losses to Renato Moicano and Dustin Poirier Benoit Saint-Denis was a relatively unknown lightweight prospect entering UFC 295, but left the legendary Madison Square Garden with the win of his life, which earned the attention of UFC superstar Dustin Poirier Saint-Denis and New York hometown hero Matt Frevola helped kick off the action at UFC 295, on a card that was originally headlined by Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic and the undercard fights had more pressure to deliver after the changes Saint-Denis confronted the pressure head-on passing what was at the time the toughest test of his UFC career with flying colors Saint-Denis faced some early adversity against Frevola as his opponent successfully notched a big takedown in the opening seconds of the fight was able to work his way back to his feet quickly As the two rival lightweights returned the fight to their feet Saint-Denis had Frevola on the back foot and landed a massive head kick that knocked Frevola out cold It was an earth-shattering highlight that shocked the crowd at Madison Square Garden Saint-Denis’s victory at UFC 295 not only earned him a spot in the lightweight Top 15 but also quickly drew the attention of Poirier and the UFC matchmakers he’d co-headline a UFC pay-per-view at UFC 299 against Poirier in a bout that lived up to lofty expectations Check out Saint-Denis’s wild finish against Frevola below Benoit Saint-Denis has two kicks that he plays off of one another: Middle Kick: Constantly ripping at the body's open side High Kick: Targeting the head, often used to punish a fleeing opponent.

Saint-Denis is set to return against promising lightweight Joel Alvarez at UFC 315 next weekend in Montreal Saint-Denis is always a dangerous puzzle to solve and he’ll look to get back into the lightweight title mix with a victory at UFC 315 Eric Ledgin also tells TheWrap about deleted scenes and similarities to “The Pitt” Note: This story contains spoilers from “St “St. Denis Medical” wrapped up its first season with big money and big reveals setting the stage for interesting dynamic shifts upon its return titled “This Place is Our Everything” followed as Joyce (Wendi McLendon-Covey) juggled many demands from hospital staff on how to use the $10 million funds that were raised in last week’s gala With an assist from Ron (David Alan Grier) Joyce was encouraged to reject everyone else’s ideas in favor of implementing her own to turn St Denis into the prime destination for maternity medicine in Oregon — with the money helping to kickstart those efforts ever so slightly The episode also saw some full-circle moments for Matt (Mekki Leeper) and Alex (Allison Tolman) After spending the day getting questions from Serena (Kahyun Kim) about his ideal lover Matt helped a patient with an EpiPen emergency mirroring when he injected himself in the premiere The rescue gave him the confidence to accept that Serena might not be into him romantically the tables turned when Val (Kaliko Kauahi) told Serena about Matt’s crush — leaving her reaction to her coworker’s feelings for her ambiguous until Season 2 “We really wanted to avoid making it a story where we just set up this want and then they get what they want That would be the most boring version of it for me,” showrunner Eric Ledgin told TheWrap “It feels very real to me in the workplace that there are these long-term longings that can evolve over time and there are twists and turns that happen.” after juggling her husband’s vasectomy appointment with work for long enough an eye-opening conversation with Joyce finally led her to delegate — letting Serena handle any ER drama while she took care of her husband With Season 1 of the NBC medical comedy in the rearview mirror Ledgin said seeing the reception to the show grow feels “validating.” “I’m even grateful for the haters,” he told TheWrap “To be able to carve out our small corner of today’s very crowded landscape is an honor.” Ledgin breaks down the finale’s biggest moments and teases “getting out of the hospital” in Season 2 The finale has so much great character development I loved the full circle rescue with the EpiPen and his decision to maybe let go of his crush on Serena I think that part of it was going in without a plan saying “let’s see how these two characters’ chemistry is Let’s see what it wants to be as it unfolds.” Over time it took a little convincing for us to be like there is something there.” It feels very real to me in the workplace that there are these long-term longings that can evolve over time and there are twists and turns that happen Val tells Serena about Matt’s crush on her and we get an ambiguous response from her and we see her start to see him as a potential romantic match for someone else confident character that to have a moment of vulnerability like that felt really rewarding for me watching it back Joyce decides to take Ron’s advice and use the money on her vision for the hospitals future these places tend to be bottomless pits that can vacuum money up pretty quickly if you’re not careful I think that Joyce holding the line on whatever money she needed to at least put the first step of her plan to action is what we are playing right now in Season 1 As we put things together we will see what it’s like when you get the means to do what you want and now you have to make good on all these grand promises and visions that you had for the future and I think Joyce is a fun character to watch deal with that pressure Alex also gets that reality check from Joyce about how she’s been prioritizing work over her life This is something that so many people struggle with We hear about work-life balance all the time and no one seems to have perfected it so maybe there’s no such thing as the actual balance Alex is experiencing something that is very common which is that there are times when you have to make a big choice because it signals to the people around you whether or not you really matter to them And I can’t imagine a world in which the Alex character that we have created and grown to love would make the wrong choice there but I think there are moments where it feels like a closer call than it is and are hard to take yourself out of it when you are dealing something with like life and death if that’s your job much harder to make those choices than it is for someone like me It has been great to see the cast’s chemistry evolve throughout the season Which episode did you feel like you guys really hit your groove There were two points in the season where I felt that where it just felt like the comedy was hitting really hard and the camera work was fun It was just one of those episodes that came together The second moment was when we made the ladybugs episode because that was after we had shot most of the season and I had been in and out of the hospital for something that we used in that episode It felt like despite all of the stress of making Season 1 of my first show I hit a point where I was able to sort of let go of that and enjoy the process … everything coalesced in this episode that ended up being my favorite episode of the season What is one joke or sequence that hurt you to leave on the cutting room floor my rule of thumb is if something makes you laugh hard enough it has to stay in and we have to find a way to work around it there was so much fun stuff in the pilot that did have to go away just because we had to establish these characters We had to tell this first story clearly enough to bring people into the show There was one scene where Bruce is interrogating this patient about whether or not he’s been to the Congo and that could be the source of his illness How do you see the show growing from here for this next chapter I feel like we really hit a stride in the later part of Season 1 and I want to ride that momentum and keep telling these stories inside the emergency department of this hospital with pairings and groupings of characters that we now know are still fun to see together there are some different story turns suggested by the finale and we are going to be following those threads and seeing what happens when Joyce gets something she wants the evolution in Matt and Serena’s relationship now that the script has been flipped a little bit in terms of who knows what And also just getting out of the hospital a little bit here and there which is something we didn’t really do at all in Season 1 That’s something I’m also really excited about What’s a pairing that you have not been able to explore too much yet on the show that you are excited for these next few episodes I feel like we hit just about every pairing and I’m excited to revisit them … and I want to see more of Val with anyone The medical genre had a huge resurgence this season Denis” standing as the one comedy out of a sea of medical dramas How has it been to see this TV phenomenon unfold and now that your show was one of the first to secure a renewal just from a standpoint of financial security and love of making the show Part of the reason that I wanted to make a medical show was because of how much the industry has changed in the last few years Some of them are really hard-hitting and expose huge problems in the medical industry but if we have a role to play amongst the medical shows it’s that I would like to be the one that’s reminding people that despite all the problems we have in the healthcare industry it’s not the fault of these frontline workers who are Have you been able to watch any of the shows I am most of the way through “The Pitt,” which is so different tonally from “St we cover a lot of a lot of similar setups and dynamics It’s a testament to how much of a difference tone makes in a show even the fact that they really lean into showing you the most gruesome stuff head-on But it’s certainly very far from what we’re doing The one kind-of funny reaction I’ve had to “The Pitt” is that there are times on this show as a comedy Is this too much to be happening in one hospital in one day?” And then I watched “The Pitt” and I’m like Denis Medical” Season 1 is now streaming

Nestled in the Bois du Fay in Le Mesnil-Saint-Denis, in the heart of the Yvelines region this building is distinguished by its unique architecture: a church composed of three adjoining buildings topped by a green dome and blue-painted bulbs The site conceals frescoes and icons by Father Gregory Krug (1907-1969) considered one of the greatest iconographers of the 20th century the skit is halfway between a monastery and a hermitage There are no more than 5 hermits living here separately rector of the émigré community attached to the patriarchal church of Meudon in the 1930s was looking to leave the Paris region to create a place of meditation away from the hustle and bustle of Paris and the pure church It was while visiting his doctor friend and strolling through the Bois du Fay that he found the perfect place for meditation They acquired the plot of land from the town hall (not considered religious land but privately owned and managed by an association) the Skit attached itself to the Moscow head office without any exchange where he became involved with the cubist schools of Paris who was chaplain there and one of the monks at the skit Père Grégoire asks to come and live at the Skit du Saint-Esprit he helped to maintain the tradition of this art form which had fallen into disfavor in Russia at the time he completely redid the interior of the skit and also produced works for other people and other churches One of the special features of the place is that Father Gregory created icons in the walls themselves you're in a process of introspection and connection with the beyond we discover the two other small adjoining churches where each monk could hold his liturgy or personal service moving from the darkest to the lightest colors Father Gregory's work can be recognized by the double rings that make up the aureoles of the icons although he did help preserve the art of the icon by blending it with his artistic knowledge and was exceptionally buried on site at his request This request was accepted by the town hall as his aura was very important at the time The skit continued to grow, and Father Gregory's aura led to physical transformations on the site. It was thanks to Father Barsanuphe, who took over from Father Serge, an architect by training, that additional transformations were made to the central square church. He added a narthex (portico or vestibule) with a purifying function. This narthex, like the http://www.leskitdusaintesprit.fr/ (small bell towers) The elements that make up the building are very simple Father Barsanuphe had a fial built below where frescoes by Father John can be seen to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of the great Russia who married an Orthodox woman and converted to Orthodoxy subsequently covering the country with Orthodox churches baptism and a representation of Prince Vladimir considered the founding saint of Orthodoxy in Russia A portal was also erected at the same time Refer your establishment, click herePromote your event, click here You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email Menu.page-368055667{--slot3:#f8e9e2;--slot4:#ef8642;--slot5:#222222;--slot6:#b54800;--slot7:#f8e9e2;--slot8:#b54800;--slot9:#ef8642;--slot11:#222222;--slot12:#ef8642;--slot14:#b54800;--slot15:#ef8642;--slot16:#222222;--textShadowColor:#ef864288;--metaColor:#b54800;--navColor:#b54800}More Dr Denis Medical Season 2: Everything We Know So FarThe NBC workplace comedy has already been renewed for a new season It’s believable that a bumbling accountant would somehow manage to make it through years of working at a failing paper company but how can you put that kind of character into a situation where they need to insert an IV into a trauma patient With an all-star ensemble cast that includes David Alan Grier it manages to maintain a level of seriousness when the storyline calls for it — like a patient flatlining — while still being completely believable in its comedy — like the director of the hospital insisting on building up their social media page with funny dances The show was nominated for two Critics’ Choice Awards in its freshman season The midseason episode of Season 1 premieres tonight there is no date or further details on Season 2 Denis Medical Season 1 already gaining over 24 million views since its premiere in November 2024 it’s safe to say Season 2 is going to be an absolute smash hit Denis Medical just came back from its holiday hiatus and you can find it every Tuesday on NBC at 8 p.m The show is also available the next day for streaming on Peacock and you can also find previous episodes there for a full-on binge sesh Joel Álvarez will not fight Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC 315 presented by Skilled Trades College in Montreal this Saturday due to a hand issue, he announced via Instagram on Sunday.

(We know background music is too loud, it’s the most frequent complaint, but there’s always closed-captioning. Check out this story for more tips.) One caution: This is a spoiler-free zone, so we won’t be addressing upcoming storylines here unless it’s already common knowledge. Please send your questions and comments to [email protected] Look for Ask Matt columns on most Tuesdays Question: I am a super fan of ABC‘s High Potential The February 4th episode in particular [“Partners,” where Keradec and his former partner worked together] was complex and full of great content Didn’t the show just return from the “Fall Finale?” Give me the good old days when a season started in September and continued until May/June Please tell me they are returning for a Season 2 though as long as they’re airing repeats of High Potential it could bring even more new viewers into the tent.) High Praise for a New Hospital Drama — and Comedy Comment: I really hope people are watching The Pitt on Max. It is a fantastic follow-up to the legendary ER and is every bit as good. Noah Wyle leads a stellar ensemble cast It not only deals with the day-to-day drama in a Pittsburgh emergency room but also touches on timely issues surrounding the healthcare industry today Matt Roush: Couldn’t agree more. (Here’s my review.) And the good news is that it’s doing well enough that Max recently gave the show a green light for a second season What also helps The Pitt stand out is the 24-like premise where each episode is an hour in an unusually busy shift for the overwhelmed doctors This brings a propulsive urgency to subplots that develop hour by hour as we get caught up in the patients’ medical and emotional dilemmas in a compressed time period while becoming increasingly engaged in the healers’ lives and working relationships Question: Am I the only one who thinks Boston Blue (working title), the spinoff of Blue Bloods, is likely to be a Joey-level debacle? Besides the fact that Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) as the lead instead of part of an ensemble would be a little too much I can’t think of any legitimate reason the character would and I don’t understand why CBS thinks this is a good idea Matt Roush: What CBS obviously thinks is a good idea is keeping the Blue Bloods franchise alive in some form and moving the spinoff to another East Coast metropolitan giant with one of its most recognizable stars reduces the risk of the show just repeating itself (not that its fans would mind) If we’re to believe that economic factors kept Blue Bloods from continuing beyond a 14th season a new start in a new locale was pretty much inevitable The challenge for the producers will be to make Danny’s move credible keeping the door open for visits from other Reagans along the way It’s natural to be skeptical about projects like this — but Joey Comment: Finally, a very well done “In Memoriam” section at Sunday’s SAG Awards, with the screen devoted entirely to pictures of the departed. This is how they should always be done. One other impression is that it’s nice to see that The Bear is no longer being rewarded for pretending that it’s a comedy Perhaps they should enter some of these shows in the Documentary or Animated categories for better chances of winning next time since there seems to be no criteria at all for selecting which category to enter with no clear front-runner in several major categories Question: In the same February week, NBC’s The Irrational and The CW‘s Wild Cards both had a story about killing a valuable stud horse for insurance money Do you think the producers were mad when they discovered the similarity Or is this plot just an overused trope that turns up periodically I’m not aware of horse murders being an overused trope and I can’t imagine this being a case of narrative equine larceny These are very different shows from different studios so maybe something’s in the water that brought ill-fated horses to mind in their writers’ rooms (Or maybe they were separately inspired by the high-profile deaths of animals in horse-racing circles and thought it would make a good story.)

Sign Up St. Denis Medical initial production and debut plans were thwarted by the 2023 Hollywood strikes and so I’m all the more pleased to see that the show has already proven itself to be worth the wait It boasts one of the small screen’s most impressive ensembles including Fargo alum Allison Tolman as Alex arguably the most grounded person within the hospital chaos and Sex Lives of College Girls’ Mekki Leeper as new RN recruit Matt who’s been heavily sheltered due to a hyper-religious background but there are definitely two elements about St Denis that will keep me watching each and every week Like many comedy fans, I’ve been laughing my ass off at David Alan Grier since the glory days of In Living Color, one of the best sketch series of all time He’s the kind of talent who gives every project an extra spark whether he’s popping up in A Black Lady Sketch Show for wacky cameos or helping guide the story in The Patient or sharing the screen with other comedy legends in The Cool Kids Grier brings all that experience and skill to the role of Dr an emergency physician who’s lost a bit of his inspirational mojo due to the repetitive daily grind and is largely just going through the motions his curmudgeonly ways don’t overwhelm his benevolent nature and turn him into a crappy doctor or anything and he also isn’t so surly that he can’t serve as a pillar of support for his colleagues with Episode 2 shining a light on what some may see are archaic views about dating older women but Ron’s minor evolution in that sense hints that we could see legitimate growth from these characters even as they’re making us laugh I’d be fine with watching David Alan Grier just sitting at a desk and responding to things with ample and perfectly delivered snark Ron comes across as one of the more relatable staff members at St Denis Medical that could feasibly exist in real life Bruce is unmistakably cut from TV character cloth Right down to the idea that he sets himself up to be something of the biggest hero and savior within the hospital all under the guise of selflessness and passion for the job It’d be so easy for this dude to be the WORST Josh Lawson has been excellent in plenty of projects at this point perhaps most notably in Superstore and House of Lies Bruce seems like it was fated for him since the beginning of scripted storytelling His bright-eyed smile is warm and welcoming and if one doesn’t actually listen to what he’s saying the character does indeed seem to be oozing good-guy charm But as soon as he opens his mouth and makes his intention evident all that perceived goodwill hilariously flies back in his face It’s the same oblivious pride and bravado that helped make characters like Steve Carell’s Michael Scott and the It’s Always Sunny gang endlessly rewatchable though Bruce himself isn’t quite so self-sabotaging as those others But his arrogance does provide some superbly insipid anecdotes and seemingly every attempt to impress others is botched by a lack of general awareness And it all just slides right off his back as he grins and moves on to his next side-splitting failure I've Watched Top Chef For Over A Decade, And I Simply Cannot Understand How (Spoiler) Made This Classic Restaurant Wars Mistake Again Chip And Joanna Gaines Quietly Took A 3 Month Magnolia Network Break, And I Totally Get Why They Needed To ‘Get Outside The Business’ Kelly Marie Tran Had A Bad Experience With Star Wars Backlash. Years Later, She Reflected On How It Helped Her Grow And it’s promising enough to earn those comparisons If the rest of the season is as strong as the six episodes I was able to screen Denis could be the best network comedy since Abbott But Spitzer and Ledgin (who serves as showrunner) also use their relatively large ensemble as a chance to craft characters cleverly tailored to the hospital setting. Jury Duty’s Mekki Leeper brings comic relief as Matt fresh-out-of-school nurse from a bizarre religious background Assigned the straightforward task of administering an EpiPen he accidentally sticks himself with the syringe and hulks out on epinephrine Matt instantly develops a crush on a more senior nurse whose initial read on her new charge is: “He dumb.” The most inspired character of all is Bruce (Josh Lawson a handsome trauma surgeon who plays to the documentary cameras Seizing an opportunity to talk about his COVID-19 experience Colleagues became brothers.” Bruce is a pure product of the pop-cultural mythology that surrounds doctors; he clearly watches every medical drama where guys like him are heroes and believes the hype Mekki Leeper and Kaliko Kauahi in St. Denis MedicalCasey Durkin—NBCWhile Ron grumbles and Joyce ignores the basic problems facing her overworked, underpaid staff in a quixotic quest to transform her safety-net hospital into a “destination medical facility,” the show’s real villain is a broken health care system Underfunded and thus understaffed (which is why it’s so outrageous when Joyce invests $300k in a cutting-edge mammography machine in hopes of attracting out-of-state patients) Denis only works as well as it does because of employees like Alex who sacrifice their personal lives for a job that doesn’t love them back (“You want gratitude?” jaded Val sneers at Matt when a patient fails to thank him for life-saving care Sell some weed.”) Regardless of their best efforts the stakes are so high and the gap between resources and needs so vast that the hospital makes potentially lethal mistakes The woman Val shrugs off in the premiere turns out to have a blood clot in her leg She almost dies of a pulmonary embolism.  I think of comedies like St. Denis, Parks and Rec, and Abbott as systems sitcoms, in the same tradition of politicized fiction as the wave of systems novels that emerged decades ago, by authors like Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon These shows take a scalpel to the absurdities and ironies and contradictions inherent in the systems we’re supposed to be able to trust And if this type of storytelling seems more popular now than it’s ever been before that in itself probably says something about the state of our institutions sitcoms—especially the ones designed to be widely appealing enough for broadcast TV—must also balance social commentary with not just humor but likable characters and a constant stream of mostly lighthearted jokes Spitzer and Ledgin let the pendulum swing too far in one direction An episode that follows Alex’s attempt to split up a team of nurses who call themselves “the Filipino mafia,” for the sake of “intersectionality and inclusivity,” feels pointless But it’s the only clunker of the initial bunch thoughtful yet funny episode that spins the question of whether the staff should accommodate a religious patient’s onerous demands into riffs on superstition and the purposes faith might serve in the ER The true test of St. Denis Medical will come a couple dozen episodes in, when broad characters like Matt as well as familiar conflicts like Alex’s work-life imbalance start to get old. At that point, the agility with which the show tackles specific aspects of the health care crisis is going to be crucial; Abbott proved its longevity by taking on charter schools in Season 2 rose to the unprecedented occasion of the pandemic the prospect of another comedy on the level of those predecessors should be enough to keep us watching.  Contact us at letters@time.com A Lightweight firefight has been added to UFC 315 No. 13-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight, Benoit Saint Denis, will put his ranking on the line against red-hot Spanish standout KOlmeneroMMA was the first to report the good news The French fighter holds a 100 percent rate with nine submissions and four knockouts Like “BSD,” Alvarez (22-3) also boasts a 100 percent finish rate, with 17 submissions and five knockouts, and has looked absolutely stellar in his UFC career (other than getting absolutely destroyed by Arman Tsarukyan back in 2022) “El Fenomeno” is riding a three-fight win streak with victories over Marc Diakiese This fight will be violent ... for along as it lasts To checkout the entire UFC 315 fight card click here NEW YORK – Benoit Saint-Denis is whom Mauricio Ruffy wants to meet in the octagon for his next UFC outing Ruffy, one of the most promising rising fighters at 155 pounds, called out the gritty veteran following his victory at Saturday's UFC 309 in Madison Square Garden 0-3 UFC) in a unanimous decision that served as the opener of the pay-per-view main card and a step fans would very much enjoy in his career "The guy is coming off two losses and people are looking at me and starting to point the finger and say 'This guy is coming up,'" Ruffy said at the UFC 309 post-fight press conference A lot of people online and on social media would like that fight to happen Ruffy hasn't had an easy road to get to the octagon The Fighting Nerds product was supposed to fight Charlie Campbell on Saturday but his rival withdrew from the fight days away from the event Llontop ended up stepping in on short notice "It's been a mix of learning experiences," Ruffy said "You talk about six months: six months of camp six months of getting prepared for fights that didn't happen but I do want to thank the UFC for the opportunity to be here at a card in Madison Square Garden I learned a lot and I took a lot from these experiences."

recent years; it’s also the most familiar who cut his teeth on The Office before bringing us Superstore and American Auto Denis Medical feels like those shows met a few seasons of Scrubs and had a baby While fresh and inventive comedies have their place there’s something to be said for variations on our favorites Denis Medical employs the mockumentary style popularized by The Office and used in Abbott Elementary setting it in a hospital with characters who feel like old friends a supervising nurse and our entry point into the series resembles Harriet Dyer’s character in American Auto or America Ferrara’s in Superstore: ambitious and relatable the hospital administrator—a mix of Ana Gasteyer in American Auto and Steve Carell in The Office: tone-deaf She’s joined by two doctors: Josh Lawson’s Bruce who embodies every Barinholtz Bro sitcom character the jaded senior doctor who’s “over it” who also acts as the one-man peanut gallery (think Colton Dunn’s character in Superstore) Rounding out the cast is junior nurse Serena (Kahyun Kim) — the “Mateo” of the hospital — and Matt (Mekki Leeper) a dim-witted newbie who’s the “Cheyenne” of the team returns as a slightly more composed version of Sandra The mix of characters and the familiar setting gives St like we’re catching random episodes from the third season rather than a pilot And that’s not a criticism — it’s funny It’s quintessential network comedy in the best possible way Think there's nothing funny about a hospital Now he's turned his sights on an emergency room where he finds illness and death no more of a barrier to jokes than capitalist lingo and cleaning up Aisle 8 were There's more blood than in "Superstore" (but only a little) but the same sense that things could (and should) run a lot better at this institution Denis is a small-town Oregon hospital with a big heart as administrator Joyce (McClendon-Covey) would probably say Its small ER is run by head nurse Alex (Tolman) who works the hardest but also has the hardest time signing off for the day She's surrounded by superiors ranging from idiotic to delusional like Joyce (who's on the far end of the delusional side) and doctors Ron (Grier) and Bruce (Josh Lawson) each with their own idiosyncrasies that drive everyone crazy Her fellow nurses are their own kind of quirky from sheltered Matt (Mekki Leeper) to unruffled Serena (Kahyun Kim) and adaptable Val (Kaliko Kauahi Interview: Wendi McLendon-Covey talks NBC sitcom 'St. Denis Medical' and hospital humor The series is a mix of hospital high jinks and interpersonal dramedy and in another Matt helps revive a coding patient but expects a big thank-you for his CPR efforts a hardworking character actor who makes any series or film better easily anchors the show with her sarcasm and Jim-from-"The-Office"-style double takes to the camera Kauahi demonstrates range beyond her sad "Superstore" Sandra and established talents Grier and McClendon-Covey ("The Goldbergs") prove reliable for laughs as they fully commit to their respective bits McClendon-Covey is particularly apt for the role of the silly boss everyone loves to hate (but also kind of loves) Denis" "Scrubs" meets "The Office" if only for the fact that it's a mockumentary set in a hospital But that reduces it to a copy of successful sitcoms and the series is admirably going for its own unique tone It's a cynical view of health care aptly suited to the realities of 2024 America Sometimes there is a try-hard feel to the series; its jokes and stories don't always come as easily the way every scene on "Superstore" seemed to It's more evidence that effortlessly charming and funny sitcoms are far more difficult to come by than you might think and it it fulfills a need for a smart broadcast sitcom this season Ascending talents Fares Ziam and Morgan Charriere earned consecutive knockout victories to open up the up main while William Gomis and Nassourdine Imavov got things moving in the right direction again for the French athletes after Bryan Battle bested Kevin Jousset Renato “Money” Moicano was too much for Benoit Saint Denis earning his fourth straight victory to close out the show It was an outstanding night of action in “The City of Lights,” and we have all the details from what transpired inside the Octagon collected for you below Prelim Results | Official Scorecards  Fares Ziam opened the main card by bringing the partisan crowd at Accor Arena to their feet, finishing off a dominant effort against Matt Frevola with a stunning third-round knockout win The 27-year-old “Smile Killer” was the sharper picking at a somewhat hurried and wild Frevola from range while showing his continued developments on the ground at times as well Just when it looked like the fight would go the distance Ziam connected with a long knee to the jaw from a back waist lock position that put Frevola out in an instant This was easily the best performance of Ziam’s career and another indication that the French lightweight is a rising star in the division He’s now 6-1 over his last seven outings and riding a four-fight winning streak and he keeps getting better every time out Prelim Results | Official Scorecards Morgan Charriere has a thing for fighting in front of the home crowd in the UFC For the second straight event in Paris, “The Last Pirate” kicked up a knockout win, starching Gabriel Miranda with a mean left hook as the two broke from a clinch The Brazilian tried to deliver a reverse kick that split the wickets and as Miranda turned back to see his opponent A massive fan favorite in his home country the 28-year-old is now 2-1 in the UFC with a pair of punishing knockout wins and a split decision loss to the streaking Chepe Mariscal in a Fight of the Night-winning contest earlier this year  He’s a perpetually exciting addition to the division and has the potential to push towards the Top 15 in the not too distant future Bryan Battle was pumped up to venture into enemy territory and made the absolute most of it, turning up the output and pressure to put away Kevin Jousset in the second round The TUF 29 middleweight tournament winner was happy to get into a back-and-forth with the Auckland-based Frenchman in the first but as Jousset began to slow in the second His output rose as did the power behind his shots and as soon as he recognized that Jousset was on shaky legs “The Butcher” swarmed and secured the finish After beginning his career at middleweight Battle is now 4-1 with one no contest in six welterweight appearances having earned stoppages in each of those victories He came off The Ultimate Fighter as a work-in-progress with “diamond in the rough” upside the North Carolina native has continued to get better to where he’s starting to creep towards the Top 15 in the 170-pound weight class Streaking featherweights William Gomis and Joanderson Brito collided in a tense becoming the first main card pairing to go the distance Brito came out with his signature aggression pressuring forward like a bull in a China shop using his physicality and heavy shots to frequently back Gomis behind the tram lines He largely got the better of things in the grappling interactions as well Gomis was able to land a little more effectively where he continued to target the body with kicks and land solid counters on the advancing Brito When the scorecards were collected and tallied it was Gomis that came out on the happy side of the split decision verdict extending his record to 4-0 in the UFC and his winning streak to a dozen overall The MMA Factory representative continues advancing it the featherweight division and should find himself in line for another step up in competition following this one Nassourdine Imavov
