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.”

Olivia Culpo Goes Clubbing Dressed Like a Sexy Taxi in a Yellow Minidress and Black Balenciaga Boots

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...

The 6 Biggest Health Benefits Of Turmeric

The benefits of turmeric go far beyond boosting the flavour of your curry.  Here are some of the biggest (research backed) health perks of this super  spice . 1. It's a natural anti-inflammatory  Inflammation helps the body fight off viruses and repairs damage however, chronic inflammation becomes a problem as the body starts to attack its own tissues, resulting in a huge range of health problems. Turmeric has been found to help fight off inflammation with almost the same efficacy as anti-inflammatory medication, just without the side effects. 2.

Here's What I Learned When I Gave Birth Without Meds, Twice

My first experience giving birth without meds was crazy. I cried, I swore, I yelled, I called for my mom. The second time, thanks to a hypnosis training, I went into a deep relaxation between contractions. To the point that my midwife thought I was sleepingand decided to take a nap while I was on the verge of delivery. While I experienced as much pain the second time as the first, my experience was very different. Instead of anxiously panicking (and wallowing in self-pity) at the thought of the next contraction, I completely stopped resisting. I rested instead of wasting my energy being anxious. It went by easier, smoother and much faster. This isn’t an article about physical pain, though.  I’m not saying you too should go  au naturel  when you give birth or shouldn’t get shots at the dentist (I definitely get numbed up at the dentist).  The problem I’m addressing is that we freak about our emotional pain the way we do about our phy...
