Renato 'Moicano,' Tom Aspinall join 'Poatan' in criticizing Herb Dean’s officiating
Marcelo Alonso Jun 29, 2026 Alex Pereira has gained two allies in his crusade against Herb Dean: Tom Aspinall and Renato "Moicano" Carneiro.Considered one of Brazil's biggest MMA influencers, “Moicano” published a video on his Youtube channel criticizing Dean's failure to deduct points from Sharabutdin Magomedov after the Russian repeatedly grabbed Michel Pereira’s hair during their bout at UFC Baku.
Advertisement "Three weeks in a row where Herb Dean has interfered with results: first at UFC White House, then in the 'Lok Dog' vs. Andre Fili fight fight last week, and now in the Michel vs. Shara fight. The truth is this guy manipulates results. How does he not deduct a point? The Russian committed an eye poke and grabbed Michel's hair three times, yet he did nothing. If he had punished [Magomedov for the infractions], the result would have been a draw. Once again, he made a huge mistake and interfered with a fight's outcome,” Carneiro said.
United in Criticism
Tom Aspinall—who the previous week had blamed the referee for Poatan's loss to Ciryl Gane following a series of illegal blows—also took to Instagram Stories to comment on the fouls committed by Magomedov against Pereira at UFC Baku. He suggested that, in his view, MMA rules are being treated more like guidelines than actual regulations.
"MMA doesn't have 'rules' anymore. They're just 'suggestions'," Aspinall wrote.
Pereira, who has been Dean's most vocal critic, seized on the wave of criticism and commented on a post by Pereira: "Herb Dean is a coward!”

Add CBS News on GoogleFour men have been federally charged for allegedly stealing more than half a million dollars in a "jackpotting" scheme that targeted ATM machines across Connecticut, authorities said. "Jackpotting" is a type of heist method that involves using hardware or malware to force an ATM to dispense the money it has stored inside.
Euclides Moreno Itanare, 28, Willian Ricardo Flores, 49, Alberto Jose Freites Arvilla, 41, and Luis Jose Freites Arvilla, 38, have all been arrested in connection with the alleged scheme, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New Haven. Each man faces charges for interstate transportation of stolen property and conspiracy. If convicted, they could receive up to 10 years in prison for the first charge and up to five years in prison for the second.
Authorities said the men are from Raleigh, North Carolina; the Bronx and Queens, New York; and Lynn, Massachusetts. They're all also Venezuelan citizens, according to the district attorney and the FBI.
The men allegedly tried to steal cash from at least nine ATM machines at various sites in Connecticut, several of which were located along Interstate 95, between Aug. 8 and Aug. 18, 2025, federal authorities said. The thefts occurred at eight ATMs, in the city of Milford and at rest stops in Fairfield, Branford, Madison and Darien. A ninth ATM in the city of Ansonia was equipped with software that prevented the theft from going through.
Of the money taken from those eight machines, the men allegedly stole $529,220.
The incidents were captured on surveillance footage, which appeared to show that each theft was carried out in a similar way, authorities said. Luis Freites Arvilla acted as "a lookout" while Alberto Freites Arvilla opened the ATM and accessed its internal parts before leaving the area. Over the next several hours, Luis Freites Arvilla, Itanare and Flores would take turns withdrawing cash from the machine, in some cases changing their clothes before approaching the same ATM multiple times.
"Jackpotting" incidents are on the rise in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI. In a report issued in February, federal investigators said that of 1,900 incidents reported since 2020, more than 700 of them occurred in 2025 alone. Those resulted in more than $20 million stolen, according to the report.
NBA Player Malik Beasley Indicted for Allegedly Fixing His Own Stat Lines for Bettors
NBA Player Malik Beasley Indicted for Allegedly Fixing His Own Stat Lines for Bettors
Former Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons player Malik Beasley has been indicted on charges of gambling in connection with an investigation into a sports betting scheme.
Federal investigators say that Beasley and former NBA player Ed Davis worked together to tailor Beasley’s performance on the court during Beasley’s 2023-24 season with the Bucks to win bets they made, according to TMZ Sports.
Investigators added that the scheme was launched to help Beasley get out of the gambling debts he had incurred, including a loan made to him by Davis.
The pair of former players are facing charges of sports bribery, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The NBA had also launched an investigation into the charges after reports of unusual betting activity were made to league officials. If the league takes action, it could ban Beasley from pro basketball for life.
Beasley’s attorney, Steve Haney, says the former player is fully cooperating with investigators. But he had also claimed last year that his client was no longer a target in the federal gambling investigation.
Beasley is not currently playing in the NBA and was last in the league at the end of the 2025 season, when he was with the Pistons. This year, he has been playing in the Puerto Rican Baloncesto Superior Nacional league for the Cangrejeros de Santurce team of San Juan.

Erin Brockovich Launches Plan to Take on AI Data Centers Around the Country
Erin Brockovich Launches Plan to Take on AI Data Centers Around the Country
Erin Brockovich, who secured a historic $333 million settlement against PG&E in 1993 and was immortalized by Julia Roberts on the silver screen, has launched a new battle against the proliferation of AI data centers across the United States and beyond.
The Guardian reports that the environmental activist who became a household name after her work on the Hinkley, California, groundwater contamination case has identified what she describes as a threat on par with that scandal, only larger in scope. After receiving thousands of emails from concerned citizens, Brockovich has turned her attention to the rapid construction of massive AI data centers happening with minimal public input or environmental oversight.
The campaign began when Brockovich noticed an unusual pattern in her inbox. She received 30 emails from people in the same town, all expressing concerns about data centers. In April, she issued a public call on her website asking anyone with concerns about data centers near them to contact her. Within a month, 3,862 people responded. Brockovich characterizes the situation as “Hinkley on steroids.”
Using the information gathered from these emails, Brockovich created an open-source map documenting AI data centers across the United States. As of June 24, the map shows 33 AI data centers that are operational, 68 under construction, and 41 proposed. More than 7,000 reports have been submitted through her online form, revealing a pattern of construction happening largely without public knowledge or consent.
AI data centers are enormous in scale. Some stretch over hundreds of acres, and in May, Utah approved a center twice the size of Manhattan. According to Brockovich, many communities learn about these facilities only after construction has already begun, or in some cases, months after they have been approved by local officials.
A major concern for Brockovich is the secrecy surrounding the approval process. Data center developers often enter into nondisclosure agreements with local officials, making it impossible for residents to understand why projects were approved without environmental impact assessments or public input. Brockovich reports receiving emails from people whose local leaders are changing zoning laws to accommodate these facilities. “If data centers are so great, why are they being built in secret?” reads one headline on her Substack blog.
Local governments attempting to pause or halt construction face severe financial consequences. In Hill County, Texas, county commissioners voted on a year-long moratorium after unexpected public outcry. The county was then sued by developers for $100 million in damages and, according to the Texas Tribune, has since backed down from the moratorium.
Beyond concerns about water consumption, residents near operational data centers report significant noise pollution. “It really becomes about the noise, the decibels,” Brockovich says. People describe being driven to distraction by constant humming, hissing, and buzzing from generators operating around the clock. Communities also report increased electricity bills, power surges, and concerns about wildlife disappearing from areas surrounding the data centers.
Brockovich, who turns 66 this month, brings decades of experience to this fight. She was instrumental in the 1993 case against Pacific Gas and Electric Company on behalf of Hinkley, California, residents whose groundwater had been contaminated. Despite having no formal legal training, she helped secure a $333 million settlement, then the largest ever payout for a direct-action lawsuit. The 2000 film starring Julia Roberts immortalized her story.
Since Hinkley, Brockovich has worked on other environmental pollution cases, including additional cases against PG&E related to hexavalent chromium. More recently, she has focused on PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as “forever chemicals” that are components in firefighting foam used on US military bases. These chemicals have been linked to fertility issues and some cancers.
Brockovich’s immediate goal is to secure case-by-case moratoriums on data center approvals. She is compiling cases through her open-source mapping site and notes that council responses vary depending on how receptive officials are to local complaints. Many states are only now beginning to consider whether state-level regulation and oversight of data centers is necessary.
She emphasizes that opposition to data centers is bipartisan. Her approach focuses on building lawsuits from the ground up rather than seeking immediate policy change from the top. She advocates for environmental impact reports, transparency about power sources, and town hall meetings where residents can voice their concerns.
“We have to have some courage to show up, and it’s difficult to do that when you’re up against forces that have all the money and all the intelligence and all the bandwidth in the world,” Brockovich says. Despite describing herself as being in her “legacy phase” with six grandchildren, she remains committed to the fight, though she acknowledges she cannot win it alone.
Breitbart News previously reported that AI data center opponents have blocked or delayed projects worth $130 billion so far this year:
At least 75 projects worth about $130 billion have been blocked or delayed from January through March across the country as a result of data center opponents, according to a Data Center Watch study obtained by NBC News.
The authors of the study further noted that this hindering of AI data centers is the most on record in a three-month period since they began tracking the matter in 2023.
“The quarter reflected a structural shift rather than a cyclical spike: communities have internalized an opposition playbook, legislative sessions introduced formal regulatory uncertainty, and the number of active opposition groups more than doubled to 833 across 49 states,” the study read.
