If you turn on ABC tonight, Thursday, July 24, 2025, hoping to watch a new episode of 9-1-1, you’re unfortunately out of luck. In place of 9-1-1 Season 8 reruns, ABC will be airing a new episode of Celebrity Family Feud, starring the Arquette family, Martina McBride, Patti LaBelle, and Fantasia.

Salikhov (22-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) landed a brutal overhand right to take out Carlos Leal (22-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC) at the 0:42 mark of Round 1 in their welterweight bout Saturday at Etihad Arena. Salikhov, who was a 5-1 underdog, has now won three fights in a row. As he planned, he used his mic time to call out Stephen Thompson.
