Arman Tsarukyan put his money where his mouth is. Literally.Next Sunday, Ilia Topuria looks to unify his lightweight title against interim champion Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC White House. Topuria is a substantial betting favorite heading into the fight, and most expect him to make quick work of Gaethje. But despite public opinion, Tsarukyan believes that people shouldn’t count Gaethje out, and now he’s backed that up in a big way.“I want Ilia,” Tsarukyan said before placing the wager. “But Gaethje, bro. Every time Gaethje fought, everybody thought he’s going to lose, but he always won. Even…

Today, we celebrate the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. That faithful day, in 1944, when the brave soldiers of the Allied Expeditionary Force broke the Atlantic Wall and stormed inland to begin the Liberation of Europe. This day, June 6, and the following weeks and months have always fascinated me. It kickstarted my interest in History and videogames and eventually led to the creation of Strategy and Wargaming, a place where I could freely write about this and many other stories. I want to share this fascination with you across several articles, to be released in the following days and weeks,…

Gabriel Bonfim has arrived as a legitimate title contender at 170 pounds.On Saturday, Bonfim had the biggest test of his MMA career, taking on former welterweight champion Belal Muhammad in the main event of UFC Vegas 118. Bonfim passed with flying colors, beating “Remember The Name” up for 25 minutes to leap into the thick of the welterweight title race.Heading into the fight, Bonfim was on a four-fight winning streak, but none had come against a truly elite welterweight, and despite being on a two-fight losing streak, Muhammad certainly still fit that description. But Bonfim rose to the occasion, delivering…

Brendan Allen defended his top five ranking at UFC Vegas 118, handily defeating Edmen Shahbazyan in the evening’s co-main event. Things started relatively slowly in the opening round, with things being even yet uneventful. Shahbazyan showed some solid takedown defense as Allen looked to get things to the ground, but he failed to get his striking going throughout the first five minutes. It was more of the same in the second, with Allen landing the more impactful shots. Shahbazyan started to open up, keeping himself neck-and-neck with Allen in total significant strikes, but it was Allen who walked away with…

Getting older does not mean getting weaker. In fact, research consistently shows that men over 50 can build significant strength, increase muscle mass, improve bone density, enhance balance, and maintain independence through properly designed resistance training. While aging naturally brings changes such as reduced muscle mass, lower testosterone levels, and slower recovery, strength training remains one of the most powerful tools available to slow or even reverse many of these effects. After age 30, adults lose approximately 3% to 8% of muscle mass per decade, with the rate accelerating after age 60. This age related decline in muscle mass and…

The Environmental Protection Agency’s reorganized research office is influenced by the Trump administration’s political appointees, the agency’s top science official confirmed to lawmakers on Thursday. The EPA shuttered its longstanding Office of Research and Development last July and replaced it with a new Office of Applied Science and Environmental Solutions, which was placed within the agency’s Office of the Administrator.

House Republicans axed a provision to the annual defense policy bill that would have ended the Trump administration’s practice of using the military’s uniformed lawyers from serving as immigration judges and special U.S. attorneys in Democrat-run cities.Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo, proposed the amendment during the House Armed Service Committee’s markup of the National Defense Authorization Act on Thursday afternoon. The provision would have amended U.S. law to clarify that the judge advocate generals corps could only be assigned to military-related duties. Republican lawmakers, including HASC Chairman Mike Rogers, ultimately batted down the provision in a 31-26 vote, according to the…

FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz. — In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the convergence of large datasets and AI is transforming the way the Army secures and operates its networks.

As Army networks expand and the volume of data grows, the attack surface for our adversaries also expands. Recognizing this, USAISEC is leading an effort to leverage large datasets…
