UFC Fight Night 130's Tom Breese doesn't underestimate Daniel Kelly despite age

LIVERPOOL, England – UFC middleweight Tom Breese knows a thing or two about road wear. Just after he withdrew from his previous scheduled fight, he tore his ACL and was benched for the majority of 2017.
Then again, Breese (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) is only 26. He can bounce back. His opponent on Sunday, Daniel Kelly (13-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC), is one of the older fighters on the UFC roster at 40. Back-to-back losses have put his octagon career on edge.
Yet Breese isn’t discounting Kelly’s age or recent trajectory. He expects the Olympic judoka to be a tough challenge.
“He’s experienced, and he’s more experienced than he was a few years ago,” Breese told MMAjunkie in advance of their FS1-televised fight at Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. “I never like to underestimate anyone. I’m not going to overestimate him, either.
“I’m going to see what it feels like to be in there with him on fight night. I’m very confident. I’m only 26. I feel like I’m in my prime. He’s aging. But I’m not underestimating him – I’m not overestimating him. I’m ready for my toughest challenge.”
After suffering the first loss of his career in his previous outing, Breese wants to prove he’s still capable of fighting his way to a title. He’s got a few more miles on his body, but he’s still got the same drive to find success in the octagon.
“More than anything, I want to do it for myself,” he said. “I want to do a big performance for myself to get that self-satisfaction and that fulfillment.
“I feel like I’ve improved a lot in the last two years. I’m maturing as an adult. So I think you’ll see a much better fighter and athlete.”

The Foods You Need to Avoid to Keep Your Skin Clear

It's not necessarily greasy foods that are the culprits. It was an old wives’ tale worthy of medical research. Researchers managed to prove way back in 1969 that your chocolate noshing wasn’t causing you to break out, and that was a relief. In fact, science has since proven that certain foods can get rid of your acne. But that’s not to say that said old wives weren’t on to  something  because what you eat really does make a detrimental difference when it comes to your complexion,  according to Men’s Health. A study  published in the  Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics ventured to figure out exactly what the problematic pimple-causing foods were. The research involved two groups of 32 participants; one group had clear skin, the other had moderate-to-severe acne. Each group was asked to complete a five-day food diary and then get blood work done. Of all the participants, 61 percent believed that their diets were affect...

Ida Lundgren and Bianca Van Damme Could Easily Kick Your Butt!

If there were ever two fathers whose daughters would be genetically programmed to kick butt, those would be Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren – two of the most badass actors-slash-martial-artists of our time. They have both taught their little daughters how to defend themselves and look fantastic while doing it. Let’s look at Dolph and Ida first Just like Dolph’s character in Rocky IV, Ivan Drago, his 21-year-old daughter Ida was asked to show off her amazing skills on the boxing ring as well. And, boy, did she deliver! In this photoshoot for Muscle&Fitness, Dolph is probably showing Ida some secret moves and teaches her about the weak spots and how important the footwork is. Maybe he even told her how to beat Sylvester Stallone. Or maybe I’m imagining thing. These days Ida is an aspiring young model, but she’s got a long way to go to be as popular as her dad. She may look like a frail girl most of the time, but don’t let her cute looks fool you! Ida can and...

Fortnite's Greasy Grove Treasure Map: Where To Find The Treasure

There's a new treasure map available in  Fortnite: Battle Royale.  This time you'll find the map tucked away in Greasy Grove as one of Season 4, Week 5's challenges. This is the first time during Season 4 for the challenges to drop on Thursday morning rather than Tuesday morning. The Greasy Grove treasure map comes on the heels of yesterday's v4.3 update. If you want to find the treasure this week, you can either head to Greasy Grove and search for the map, or you can read this guide which will lead you right to it. If you look closely you'll see this image almost resembles a face. Turn it so that the compass is facing north and you'll see it's the Evil Lair near Snobby Shores. The nefarious base, which was added as part of Season 4's mysterious villains vs superheroes theme, is just to the north-east of Snobby Shores, and the treasure itself can be found right on the outside 'nose.' Grab the treasure and you'll add 10...
