The remarkable story of mixed martial artist Joe Pyfer hit the screens of DailyWire+ members on Friday, diving into the rise of one of the most daunting fighters in UFC history. 

“Journey to the UFC” follows the man who rose from a harrowing past and confronts shattering obstacles in his quest to fight in the UFC. In the DailyWire+ documentary, people will watch how Pyfer was guided by mentors who saw his potential as Pyfer faces his opponents, along with the personal demons and life-changing setbacks that came along the way.

Pyfer, whose longtime dream was to make it into the UFC, got his chance after making his way onto “Dana White’s Contender Series” in 2020, but he lost his fight against Dustin Stoltzfus in a technical knockout after he broke his elbow. Two years later, Pyfer got another shot at the “Contender Series” and the UFC. 

“Going into the second one, I had to battle depression. I would say that was my last stint of being a victim because I had struggled with a little bit of suicide problems, things like that. And I think I just was unappreciative of the journey that I was on,” Pyfer said in an interview with Morning Wire. 

“And I think that’s where you can become a victim. You can start to feel sorry for yourself. Things like that,” he added. “I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. They told me when I first broke my elbow that I was done fighting. I’d never fight again, because if I throw a punch, the impact could literally dislocate my elbow.” 

In his journey, Pyfer dealt with homelessness, a toxic relationship with his father, and numerous injuries. But he never gave up on his UFC dream. 

“I’ve taken a lot of pain, I’ve had a lot of hurt, I’ve had a lot of depression, I’ve taken a lot of abuse, I’ve had a lot of doubts,” Pyfer says in the documentary. “But one thing has always stood true and that is I’m going to show that I’m somebody that never gave up.”

The celebrity-focused news show “E! News” has been canceled after more than three decades on the air.

This announcement comes after the show was put on hiatus in 2020, then brought back in 2023 as a nighttime program after running as a daytime show for most of its existence. Now the formerly popular entertainment news source will wrap up for good and stop making new episodes after September 25 of this year, per Variety.

The half-hour program launched in 1991 and currently airs at 11:30 p.m. It is hosted by Keltie Knight and Justin Sylvester. Former E! News hosts include Ryan Seacrest, Giuliana Rancic, Jason Kennedy, Catt Sadler, and others.

A source said that this decision comes as customer preferences increasingly favor digital and social platforms for news coverage, the outlet noted.

The E! network is not thought to be affected by this change as it’s currently being spun off from NBC Universal to its new parent company, Versant. It’s expected that E! will still have live awards show coverage from the red carpet and will still produce original programming such as “E!’s Dirty Rotten Scandals.”

This latest entertainment news comes on the heels of CBS announcing the cancellation of “The Late Show” hosted by Stephen Colbert. Other hosts and celebrities have been furious on Colbert’s behalf, insinuating that the show being axed was instigated by the network settling a $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump for election interference.

Colbert dropped a ton of f-bombs during his monologue Monday night. He mentioned that the financials for the show were “leaked” as a way to distract from the alleged Trump conspiracy. This was in reference to reports that “The Late Show” lost $40 million per year in revenue. 

“Over the weekend, somebody at CBS followed up their gracious press release with a gracious anonymous leak saying they pulled the plug on our show because of losses pegged between $40 million and $50 million a year. $40 million is a big number. I could see us losing $24 million, but where would Paramount have possibly spent the other $16 million? Oh, yeah,” he said.
