WWE Champion Brock Lesnar has finally got his revenge on Cain Velasquez, nine years after losing to the former MMA star at UFC 121. Accompanied by Rey Mysterio, Velasquez had an impressive showing, taking the Beast down with a series of blows and knees, but it was Lesnar's Kimura lock which got the Beast the submission win.

In response to complaints by Kanye West and others, Instagram has banned sexually suggestive emojis, including the eggplant and the peach, which resemble parts of the human anatomy. The eggplant emoji has been used to suggest an erect phallus, while the peach resembles a woman's buttocks. The water drops resemble ejaculation. Instagram bosses say users on their platforms can no longer use those emojis - even to cover up genitals on photos. The emojis can still be used in captions, but not to convey sexually suggestive content or ask for anything sexual. The changes will cut down on sex workers plying their trade on the social media platform. The new changes have been implemented in Facebook's Sexual Solicitation Community Standards which took effect on October 24.
