Lorenzo Hunt is regarded by many as the top pound-for-pound fighter in the bare-knuckle world today, but someone who has a win over him in gloveless combat recently offered up his thoughts on that topic. The combatant in question is Gustavo Trujillo, who is unbeaten in bare-knuckle combat, and the BKB heavyweight champion has a one-hundred percent finishing rate in the sport. While Hunt is on the heels of a massive win at BKFC KnuckleMania VI over David Mundell, it was something from the fallout of KnuckleMania IV that Trujillo also got in a dig at. It was at that…

GENEVA — The latest U.S.-brokered talks between envoys from Moscow and Kyiv over Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine ended Wednesday with no sign of a breakthrough and with both sides saying the talks were “difficult,” as the war’s fourth anniversary approaches next week.The negotiations in Switzerland were the third round of direct talks organized by the U.S., after meetings earlier this year in Abu Dhabi that officials described as constructive but which also made no major headway. Expectations for significant progress in Geneva were low.“The negotiations were not easy,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after the talks broke up and…

In the nearly four years since Russia’s unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the war has repeatedly confounded expectations. A conflict that many analysts anticipated would be short and devastating for Kyiv has proved prolonged and costly for both sides. Ukraine’s ability to defend its territory, innovate militarily, and rally the United States, European countries, and others to its cause has far exceeded most projections. Russia, for its part, has underperformed militarily but regenerated its forces, improved its tactics over time, and sustained its economy at levels that have surprised even the keenest observers. As the largest land war in Europe…

Lily Burton spent years in the lab. PhD in biochemistry and molecular biophysics at the University of Chicago. Deep research. Big questions. But something was missing. “I really enjoyed thinking about very deep questions,” she says. “But I kind of missed the human element. I would get frustrated — why should a normal, everyday person care about this?” That question led her toward science writing. And eventually, to a portfolio she built in an hour using our AI website builder. From lab to byline To pursue her science writing dream, Lily built up slowly. Volunteer projects. Small bylines. Then, in…

Budo is not a system of techniques for the display of power. It is a human endeavor that, through encounters at the limits of extremity, seeks to govern oneself, to face others, and to embody order. The essence of Budo does not lie merely in the acquisition of techniques for combat. Attacking, defense, footwork, and maai (the management of distance) are but forms. The true core is the integrated capacity to actualize these techniques according to circumstance while simultaneously neutralizing the techniques of one’s opponent—this is skill in its highest sense. Moreover, there is required an inner sovereignty that governs…

Most of us have had our good days and bad days when it comes to deadlift day. You step up to the bar, lock in your deadlift setup, and attempt to just let it rip from the floor. But something doesn’t feel right. Your grip loosens, and your lower back screams, “No, thank you.” You could either stop the set or fight through it, but heavy deadlifts don’t leave much margin for error. Some days, your body has second thoughts, such as low-back flare-ups or grip giving out before your glutes and hamstrings even fire. At times, limited mobility makes…
