Chimaev Dominates Du Plessis to Claim UFC Middleweight Title
TDT | Manama Chechen-born wrestling powerhouse Khamzat Chimaev captured the UFC middleweight title with a dominant unanimous-decision win over Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319 on Saturday night in Chicago. All three judges scored the bout 50-44 for Chimaev, who smothered the South African with relentless grappling over five rounds. The 31-year-old set the tone in the opening minute, securing an early takedown and pinning Du Plessis in a crucifix position. Though the ground strikes did limited damage, the champion was unable to escape Chimaev's suffocating control. The same pattern unfolded in rounds two through four, with Chimaev sticking to Du Plessis's back, threatening with chokes and knee strikes while draining his opponent's energy. Du Plessis finally found a sliver of momentum late in the fifth, but by then the result was beyond doubt. 'I never game-plan. I just came in, work like I do in the gym,' Chimaev said afterward, praising his rival. 'That guy is strong and he's the only champion who was saying my name. This guy has real heart, a real lion, a real African lion.' Du Plessis, who lost his belt with the defeat, showed grace in acknowledging Chimaev's performance. 'He deserves this 100 percent and he was the better man tonight. I'll be back. I'll come and get my belt back, but for now it's his and he deserves it.' The win crowns Chimaev as the new face of the UFC's 185-pound division, with Du Plessis vowing to mount a return.

Spelling out grief
Adult fiction author Joanne Yi's debut novel All the Tomorrows After hits the shelves on August 19. The story follows Korean-American teen Winter Moon, a girl in a troubled household. She is saving money in hopes of escaping with her terminally ill grandmother and living a better life. However, Winter's spiteful mother steals her money and blows through it all in one day, forcing the young girl to return to her estranged father, who reappears after being absent for more than a decade. The two agree that Winter would spend time with him in exchange for payment. In an interview, the author said she took inspiration from her own grief journey and heritage, explaining that she lost her father to terminal illness, and that anticipatory grief did not prepare her as she knew and rejected his fate. 'I've spent most of my adulthood trying to find the right words. What I've learned is that there are none, really, to articulate a loved one's slow and inevitable deterioration,' Joanne explained. 'All the Tomorrows After is shaped by our journey, which began in the absence of hope and continues in the absence of a farewell. It is inspired by my father, his battle to maintain his identity, and our family's experiences as caregivers. It is a reflection of myself as a young adult navigating grief, guilt, and isolation,' she added.

McLaren W1 and 750S Le Mans Set for First Public Appearance in the Americas
Car lovers in the Americas will soon get their first close-up look at some of McLaren's most exciting new supercars. The McLaren W1, 750S Le Mans, and a special 'States of Endurance' Artura Spider will all be on display at the Exotics on Broadway event during Monterey Car Week on Saturday, August 16. 'Monterey Car Week is always a special time for us to connect with our community,' said Nicolas Brown, President of McLaren, The Americas. 'We're thrilled to show the McLaren W1 to fans here for the first time. It's a supercar that embodies McLaren's Formula 1 spirit. Alongside the 750S Le Mans and Artura Spider, visitors will be able to see three incredible cars that reflect our racing heritage.' McLaren W1: The Next Chapter in Performance Unveiled globally in October 2024, the McLaren W1 is the successor to the legendary McLaren F1 and P1. It's the fastest-accelerating and fastest-lapping road-legal McLaren ever built, powered by a V8 hybrid engine producing 1,275PS – more than any other McLaren to date. It's quicker than the Speedtail to 300 km/h and three seconds faster per lap than the McLaren Senna on the company's test track. 750S Le Mans: Honoring a Racing Milestone Also debuting in the Americas is the 750S Le Mans, marking 30 years since McLaren's famous 1995 victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Inspired by the winning #59 F1 GTR, it comes in Le Mans Grey or McLaren Orange, and features a roof scoop, LM wheels, and a McLaren Special Operations High Downforce Kit for improved aerodynamics and track performance. States of Endurance: From Monterey to Miami The event will also kick off 'States of Endurance,' a coast-to-coast tribute to McLaren's Le Mans victory. Three road cars – an Artura Spider and two 750S models – will travel from Monterey to Miami, covering a distance similar to the 24-hour race. Each car will sport a special wrap inspired by different times of day during endurance racing: day, dawn, and night. Car enthusiasts attending Exotics on Broadway can expect to witness a rare gathering of McLaren's past, present, and future – all in one place.
