Khabib: ‘Sometimes I go easy on my opponents, I don’t want to hurt them’ (VIDEO)

Khabib: ‘Sometimes I go easy on my opponents, I don’t want to hurt them’ (VIDEO) UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the most dominant forces in the history of MMA, but has ominously suggested he has sometimes gone easy on his opponents to avoid doing even more damage. Khabib stands 28-0 in professional MMA and has rarely looked troubled inside the cage. But despite his dominance, the Dagestani grappling phenom has suggested that on occasion he has held back. “I had fights in my career where I understood that I could hurt my opponent more, but I’d talk to him, tell him to give up so that I don’t beat him too hard,” Khabib told a group of schoolchildren in Russia.

Election chances dashed with a splash of milk? British PM mocked on social media for TEA-MAKING faux pas

Uncategorized

Election chances dashed with a splash of milk? British PM mocked on social media for TEA-MAKING faux pas British social media gasped in disbelief after watching Conservative PM Boris Johnson’s election campaign video... in which he committed a cardinal sin while attempting to casually make a cup of tea. There is probably nothing more quintessentially British than a lovely cup of tea. However, Brits can be pretty uncompromising when it comes to how you make that perfect cuppa. It’s widely recognised that the order is: tea bag in - hot water - tea bag out - milk - stir. So when Johnson posted a video on Tuesday, showing him adding milk before taking the tea bag out, all hell broke loose on social media. One person summed up the ove...

‘NATO will be soiling its pants’ – Ukrainian tycoon seen as power behind president calls for ‘new Warsaw Pact’ with Moscow

‘NATO will be soiling its pants’ – Ukrainian tycoon seen as power behind president calls for ‘new Warsaw Pact’ with Moscow A tycoon who spent millions of dollars arming anti-Russian fighters in Ukraine has emerged from the shadows to blast the Europe he once idolized. The oligarch now sees alliance with Russia as the only option for his country. Igor Kolomoysky, the oligarch seen by many as the shadow power behind Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, has changed his tune sharply from the days of the 2014 Maidan rebellion. Back then he was an ally of pro-European President Petro Poroshenko, who even appointed him governor of the Dnepropetrovsk region. Once installed there, Kolomoysky placed a bounty on captured fighters from the self-proclaimed Do...

‘We freed ourselves of IMF & had big plans on exports’: Exiled Bolivian president Morales blasts coup & hints at US role in it Ousted Bolivian President Evo Morales accused the Organization of American States (OAS) of making a political decision in backing the right-wing opposition against him and said the organization serves the “north American empire.” Speaking in exile from Mexico a day after he fled Bolivia, Morales said he “could not understand” how his military commanders could show such “disloyalty.” “That confirms that my great crime is to be indigenous. It’s a class problem,” he said. The exiled president said that after freeing itself from the International Monetary Fund, the Bolivian economy was doing better. We had big plans in ...

Uncategorized

Medvedev melts down as Nadal storms back to win ATP Finals clash Daniil Medvedev suffered a third-set meltdown as he lost to Rafael Nadal at the ATP Finals in London, leaving the Russian staring at an early exit from the tournament. Medvedev was leading 5-1 in the decisive third set but threw away after the match as Nadal rattled off five successive games to take the match to a decisive tie-break, which he won to take the contest 6-7 (3-7), 6-3, 7-6 (7-4). The match was a re-run of the pair's epic US Open final which Nadal won, although in London both went into the meeting knowing it was likely make-or-break having lost their opening group encounters, with Nadal being beaten by German youngster Alexander Zverev and Medvedev falling to Greek rival ...

Ancient aliens? NASA’s Mars 2020 mission landing site could contain fossilized signs of life

Uncategorized

Ancient aliens? NASA’s Mars 2020 mission landing site could contain fossilized signs of life The landing site selected for NASA’s upcoming Mars 2020 rover could well be one of the best chances we have of discovering whether the Red Planet was once home to life and whether it could be again. The 28-mile (45km) wide Jezero crater was selected as the landing site for the new rover in late 2018, and has been found to contain vast deposits of hydrated silica and minerals called carbonates, according to a newly published study. Once the site of a lake more than 3.5 billion years ago, scientists now believe that Jezero, thanks to its carbonate supplies, will likely contain structures that can survive for billions of years, such as shells, coral and certa...

Anti-govt rallies swell in Iraq’s capital, south

Uncategorized

Anti-govt rallies swell in Iraq’s capital, south Anti-government rallies swelled in Iraq’s capital and south on Wednesday as Baghdad faced new pressure from both the street and the UN to respond seriously to weeks of demonstrations. Protests demanding a new leadership have rocked the capital and Shiite-majority south for weeks. Protesters have felt revived after the country’s top Shiite religious authority Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani said they “cannot go home without sufficient reforms.” The head of the UN’s mission in Iraq (UNAMI), Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, planned to address the main political blocs and brief lawmakers on her meeting with Sistani, who in a significant move backed a UN roadmap out of the crisis, AFP said.
