UFC lightweight Islam Makhachev wants to face Charles Oliveira for the vacant title in October, and believes he will beat the Brazilian at his own game of submission grappling. Makhachev (22-1) is expected to fight Oct. 22 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, where he is very popular with the region's Muslim population. The question of whom he will fight is a big one in determining the UFC's schedule in the second half of 2022. UFC president Dana White has stated he wants Makhachev to fight Beneil Dariush , but Makhachev is also an obvious candidate to face Oliveira (33-8). "We don't have a champion," Makhachev told ESPN. "Charles is a contender. That's why it's going to be for the title. I deserve it. I have a 10-fight win streak." Oliveira, of Brazil, is widely viewed as the defending champion -- even though, officially, he is not. The 32-year-old missed weight by one half-pound ahead of a scheduled defense against Justin Gaethje at UFC 274 on May 7 in Phoenix. … [Read more...] about Islam Makhachev calls for Charles Oliveira, wants to submit him in ‘his area’

The teenager accused of murdering 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York , disguised himself as a homeless person and carried out a reconnaissance mission the day before the deadly attack. Payton Gendron, 18, drove nearly 200 miles to the area, where he is accused of targeting black people in one of the deadliest racist attacks in recent US history, killing 10 and wounding three others. Now, it has been revealed that he scoped out the Tops Friendly Market store on Friday, apparently “interacting” with Shonnell Teague, the manager. Writing on Facebook, Ms Teague said: “I want to take the time to say thank you everyone for the calls and messages. “I had to get my bearings together to know that I had interactions with the man Fri at the store.

Andrew Bailey faces scrutiny as Bank of England accused of being ‘slow off the mark’ on inflation
The Bank of England has been “slow off the mark” raising interest rates to combat inflation, a former minister has said, raising pressure on Andrew Bailey to get a grip on the cost-of-living crisis . Mel Stride, chairman of the Treasury Select Committee, said the Bank failed to spot the emerging “wage-price spiral”, heightening the risk that the Monetary Policy Committee will have to raise interest rates more rapidly to cool the economy. Echoing comments he made to the Telegraph last week , Mr Stride told BBC Radio 4: “The area where you can criticise the Bank, and we will be pressing the Governor hard this afternoon, is what has been happening in the labour market, which has become very overheated, and I think we are not in the foothills of a wage-price spiral, with wages chasing higher prices, leading to higher wages in turn. “There, I think, the Bank of England, the MPC, has been rather slow off the mark, and I think that is going to lead to a requirement for a more … [Read more...] about Andrew Bailey faces scrutiny as Bank of England accused of being ‘slow off the mark’ on inflation
Black Buffalo residents stand united in wake of shooting
The city of Buffalo, New York, is grieving following a mass shooting at a Tops supermarket that left 10 people dead and another three wounded on Saturday. Resident Myles Carter was just a few blocks from the scene that day, and the sounds of his neighbors crying out in agony over the news have been replaying in his head since the attack. "It's a heart-wrenching sound," Carter told ABC News. "I heard that sound over and over and over again, for a long period of time." The attack, which authorities are calling a racially motivated hate crime, left the predominantly Black community shaken, residents say, but they remain strong in their efforts to take care of and protect one another in the face of white supremacy.

Russia Says It Will Not Accept Sweden and Finland Joining NATO
Russia has reiterated it would not accept Finland or Sweden joining NATO , after the Ukraine crisis brought the two militarily non-aligned countries to the brink of joining the trans-Atlantic alliance. Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov made the comments to reporters on Monday, relayed through state-owned news agency TASS. He was discussing the news of Sweden's ruling party approving the country's bid to join NATO on Sunday, as well as Finnish politicians calling for their country to join the alliance "without delay." The two Nordic states have historically been non-aligned militarily. Sweden has not fought a war in more than 200 years, while Finland signed an agreement with Russia in 1948 that included Helsinki isolating itself militarily from Western Europe. Finland shares an 807-mile border with Russia and gained independence from the nation in 1917. Commenting on the countries' intentions to join NATO, Ryabkov said Monday: "All this is a reflection, [an] … [Read more...] about Russia Says It Will Not Accept Sweden and Finland Joining NATO
