Kevin Casey will fight at UFC 199 despite passing of legendary father-in-law Muhammad Ali

UFC 199: Sean Strickland Octagon Interview

LOS ANGELES --- Kevin Casey"s father-in-law, boxing great and civil-rights leader Muhammad Ali, died Friday after a decades-long battle with Parkinson"s disease but the UFC middleweight will still fight on Saturday. UFC officials told FOX Sports that Casey is ready to fight at the L.A. Forum on the UFC 199 undercard.

Casey is set to face Elvis Mutapcic on the UFC Fight Pass prelims. Casey is married to Hana Ali, a daughter of Ali.

On Friday night Casey posted a photo of he and his father-in-law. Earlier this year he shared warm memories of his first family Thanksgiving with Ali.

"It was this unbelievable feeling," Casey told Thomas Gerbasi.

"It was hard to even look directly at him. I literally felt the energy coming off of him."

Casey clearly had a great deal of respect and love for his wife"s father, so it can"t be easy for him to fight the day after Ali"s passing. Still, as Ali himself knew so well, the life of a professional fighter can be cruel.

Casey"s wife Hana Ali also posted a statement Saturday morning. "Our hearts are literally hurting," she wrote.

"But we are so happy daddy is free, now ... We all tried to stay strong and whispered in his ear, "You can go now. We will be okay. We love you. Thank you. You can go back to G*d now.""

A memorial is being planned for Wednesday in Ali"s hometown of Louisville, KY.

Copa America 2016 TV Schedule & Live Stream: Brazil vs Ecuador, Costa Rica vs Paraguay

Goles Costa Rica (Joel, Saborío) vs Paraguay 2014

The Copa America 2016 competition will continue on Saturday in the United States. U.S. and Colombia started the Copa America Centenario festivities on Friday in California, where the host country took a humbling 2-0 loss in front of their countrymen.

Brazil vs. Ecuador

Brazil, who are one of the favorites to win the special tournament, will begin their title chase against Ecuador at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. The Brazil vs. Ecuador match will start at 10 p.m. ET.

Brazil will be playing in the tournament without their biggest star, Neymar, who decided to skip the Copa America Centenario to keep himself fresh for the 2016 Rio Olympics. But while Neymar will sit out, along with Kaka and Douglas Costa, Brazil coach Dunga remains confident they can win the title this year.

However, the Brazilian squad will be facing tall odds in their tournament opener, as they will be going up against the current leaders in the South American World Cup qualifying tournament. Ecuador have already scored big wins against Argentina and Uruguay late last year, Goal reported.

Costa Rica vs. Paraguay

Costa Rica and Paraguay will also make their debut in the tournament at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The Costa Rica vs. Paraguay match will kick off at 5 p.m. ET.

Costa Rica are considered one of the dark horses in the tournament, but their players will have to step up, as ESPN confirmed goalkeeper Keylor Navas will not play in the Copa America Centenario. Los Ticos are in good form heading into the match, having won seven of their last 10 matches.

Paraguay, on the other hand, will look to discover their form in the special edition of the Copa America. The 2015 Copa America semifinalists have lost in five of their last six matches, but defender Fabian Balbuena still likes their chances of winning the title this year.

Copa America 2016 TV Schedule & Live Stream

The Costa Rica vs. Paraguay group match will be shown live on FOX Network, while the Brazil vs. Ecuador game will be available on Fox Sports 1. Both games will be streamed online on Fox Sports Go and Fox Soccer 2GO. More TV schedule and live stream information are available on Live Soccer TV.

Big Sean Dissing Ariana Grande On "Cruel Winter" Track With Kanye West? Listen

5 Second Rule with Kanye West
Did Big Sean just get ice cold against Ariana Grande during his verse on Kanye Wests new Cruel Winter track? Sean rapped how hes subtracted the negative energy of his life, possibly dissing his ex! Click to listen.

Is all fair in love and hip-hop? Big Sean, 28, was one of the many rappers making an appearance on Kanye Wests, 38, new single from the long awaited G.O.O.D. Music compilation. When the mic got passed to Sean, did he take his turn to trash his ex-girlfriend, Ariana Grande, 22?

Lately its all about Zen and me, Big Sean rapped on the untitled jam from Yeezys upcomingCruel Wintercompilation, according to Genius. Subtractin the negative energy / With the family, turn youre a** into a memory / Im with the team of the century. Big Seans verse was pretty impressive, especially since the song boasts appearances from Gucci Mane, 36,Travis Scott, 24, 2 Chainz, 38, and Yeezy himself.

Big Seans lyricsmight have been his way of returning the shade thrown at him by his ex. Ariana, who hooked up with Ricky Alvarez, 24, after she and Sean split, said that she now has a healthy life. She didnt drop Seans name during her interview like how Sean didnt say whose a** would get turned into a memory so this might be a coincidence?

Maybe? Sean threw a little shade of his own at Ariana when he regrammed a picture of Justin Bieber, 22, and him shaking hands. Justin and Ariana had their own IG drama, with him complimenting her looks and her responding by saying Not today Satan!!!However, Biebs did complement her new song so maybe their feud is over?

Sean has shown that like Ariana, he a healthy life too, thanks to Jhene Aiko. The 28-year-old singer posed while sitting in Big Seans lap while backstage of The Late Late Show on May 27, before performing their single, On The Way. Jhene may be married to Dot Da Genius, 29, but she sure looked comfy usingSeans as a chair.

Will Cruel Winter kick off the Summer of Shade? Ariana might have to reconsider her decision to not write a breakup song about Big Sean. I had kind of moved on, she said after the breakup. Everything is nice and great right nowwhy would I write about some bullsh*t? Well, Sean may have given her a reason.

What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Was Big Sean dissing Ariana with his verse on Kanye Wests Cruel Winter track?

Rose McGowan Slams "X-Men" Billboard Showing Jennifer Lawrence Being Strangled

"Dawn" Directed by Rose McGowan

Monica Schipper/FilmMagic

Update (6/3, 4:30 P.M.): In a statement toThe Hollywood Reporter, 21st Century Fox has apologized for the ad, citing the company"s failure to recognize the "upsetting connotation of this image in print form." The full statement reads:

"In our enthusiasm to show the villainy of the character Apocalypse we didnt immediately recognize the upsetting connotation of this image in print form. Once we realized how insensitive it was, we quickly took steps to remove those materials. We apologize for our actions and would never condone violence against women."

Original Story: There"s been billboards popping up as promotion forX-Men: Apocalypse, showing Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) strangling Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), and Rose McGowan is calling out the film for the unsettling image.

The actress shared her thoughts on the billboard withThe Hollywood Reporter, saying that it promotes violence against women:

"There is a major problem when the men and women at 20th Century Fox think casual violence against women is the way to market a film. There is no context in the ad, just a woman getting strangled. The fact that no one flagged this is offensive and frankly, stupid. The geniuses behind this, and I use that term lightly, need to to take a long hard look at the mirror and see how they are contributing to society. Imagine if it were a black man being strangled by a white man, or a gay male being strangled by a hetero? The outcry would be enormous. So lets right this wrong. 20th Century Fox, since you cant manage to put any women directors on your slate for the next two years, how about you at least replace your ad?"

McGowan continued,

"Ill close with a text my friend sent, a conversation with his daughter. It follows: My daughter and I were just having a deep discussion on the brutality of that hideous X-Men poster yesterday. Her words: "Dad, why is that monster man committing violence against a woman?" This from a 9-year-old.If she can see it, why cant Fox?"

Other people have also voiced their opinions on the billboards on Twitter, but 20th Century FOX and the film"s director have yet to comment.
