Islam Makhachev has close ties with the next combatant set to box Tyson Fury, and the combatant in question has touched on his relationship with the UFC champion. That fighter being referenced is Arslanbek Makhmudov, who will clash with ‘The Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury on Netflix on April 11th. Referencing public photos of himself with the Dagestan star and when asked about the nature of his relationship with Makhachev, Arslanbek Makhmudov said [via Bowks Talking Bouts], “My friend very good. This Islam [Makhachev], very good guy. Mashallah, very good. Best example for young generation. That’s why I was, for me,…

As the Pentagon increasingly relies on artificial intelligence, a question has arisen: How can one be sure that the AI models are working the way they should? The best way is to test new AI before users get their hands on it. So, the Defense Department — along with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — is seeking a system that can test whether AI models meet specified criteria. “As artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities evolve at an extraordinary pace, the government requires evaluation infrastructure that can keep pace by continuously assessing new models against mission-specific benchmarks as they…

Indonesia is rapidly expanding its naval fleet to meet its blue-water ambitions. But, for much of the past decade, budget constraints and limited political attention meant the country could focus only on acquiring small- and medium-sized naval vessels.That pattern has shifted noticeably in recent years.Jakarta has moved ahead with the procurement of larger and more capable platforms, including two Multipurpose Combat Ships/PPA from Italy and two I-class frigates from Turkey. It has also secured two additional Arrowhead 140 frigate licenses from the United Kingdom, bringing the total to four, with the first two licensed in 2021 and now under construction…

Protein is one of the most important nutrients for athletic performance, recovery, and long term health. For decades, many athletes believed that animal products were the only reliable way to consume enough high quality protein. This belief is now outdated. A growing body of scientific evidence shows that well planned vegan diets can support muscle growth, endurance performance, and recovery just as effectively as diets that include animal products. Vegan athletes are increasingly common across strength sports, endurance events, and team sports. Research shows that plant based diets can provide sufficient protein, essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to…

Hiromasa Ougikubo is 38-years-old and has, once again, proven that age is just a number, by underscoring that he is one of the world’s elite flyweights. After capturing not just the Rizin flyweight belt but also winning at the RFF 125-pound grand prix, when asked what he would credit for his longevity in the sport where he still thrives at such a high level, Ougikubo said [via Bowks Talking Bouts], “Changing and adjusting my training based off of my age. I think that’s the secret to longevity…. Yeah, so for an example, my sparring sessions on fight camp have went…

The Middle East Forum’s January 2026 report, “After the Protests: Who Can Lead Iran?”, does not analyze Iran’s principal opposition, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK); it attempts to erase it. That is not scholarship but political denial. No serious observer can wish away a movement that has been embedded in Iran’s political and social life for more than six decades; one that has survived two dictatorships and has paid for its resistance through mass executions and exile. Whether the MEF approves or not, the MEK remains an enduring fact of Iranian politics: discussed in the streets and in private homes, debated…
