25 Secrets About Dumb and Dumber Are Back That Way

The infamous scene in which Harry uses the broken toilet in Mary’s bathroom and frantically tries to get rid of what was the result of a jealous Lloyd dosing him with Turbo Lax was originally going to be even more gross. “We did trim it a little,” Bobby acknowledged at Loyola Marymount. But not because the studio made them.

“That was our decision, yeah,” Peter concurred. “But yeah, we were pushing it, but they didn’t get it and I remember at the premiere, Bob Shay, who was the head of the studio, gave a toast or a speech up front and he said, ‘By the way, this isn’t why I got into the movie business.'”

Speaking of pushing it, Daniels was really giving the scene his all.

“That was a couple hours of porcelain gymnastics,” the Emmy winner told USA Today in May. “And that close-up when they pop in tight on my red face. I had been doing it so long, I had almost passed out.”

Rockets’ Kevin Durant eighth ever to reach 31,000 points

0


HOUSTON — Rockets star Kevin Durant drilled a 10-foot jumper with 6:15 remaining in the first quarter Friday night against the Phoenix Suns to become the eighth player in NBA history to reach 31,000 career points.

Entering the matchup against his former team, Durant needed four points to hit the milestone. He got there with a pair of free throws and a midrange jumper on his third attempt of the night.

Durant finished with 28 points in the Rockets’ 117-98 win, bringing his career total to 31,024, good for No. 8 on the all-time scoring list.

“It’s incredible,” Rockets coach Ime Udoka said. “I played against him his rookie year and a few times after that and remember him coming in and guys trying to guard the same way [they do] now, being physical with him, take him off the ball. He’s learned to adapt, to adjust. To be able to do this with the longevity at this high level efficiency-wise as well, it’s an incredible career [and] a long way to go.”

Durant started off cold Friday night, scoring four points in the first quarter on 1-of-5 shooting, but he caught fire in the second quarter, converting back-to-back 3-point plays to punctuate a season-high 17-point frame as Houston took a 75-68 lead into halftime. Durant shot 7-of-8 in the quarter with three assists.

“I just touched the ball a little bit more. I shot the ball with confidence,” Durant said. “There’s the law of averages. I missed some good shots in the first quarter. I figured if I take those same types of looks, they’ll come back around for me.”

Just two nights before, 37-year-old Durant lamented missing out on the opportunity to join the company of 31,000-point scorers Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki and LeBron James during a 121-95 victory over the Sacramento Kings. Needing 28 points in that contest to reach the milestone, Durant played 32 minutes but sat out the majority of the fourth quarter and finished with eight assists, three rebounds and a block to go with his 24 points.

“Damn, I could have [done] that tonight,” Durant quipped after Wednesday’s win when informed of how close he was. He acknowledged that career milestones still move him at this stage of what will be a Hall of Fame career.

After Friday night’s win, as the team rushed out of the Toyota Center locker room to catch a late flight to Dallas for the second night of a back-to-back set against the Mavericks, guard Amen Thompson remained in awe of Durant’s latest accomplishment.

“I never imagined I would be playing with him,” Thompson said. “He’s one of the best players ever, just what he’s able to do at such a high level. It’s just crazy to watch it firsthand. I’d be on the bench. Everybody is on the sideline like, ‘Bro!’ You know what I mean?”

Durant remains eighth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list behind James, Abdul-Jabbar, Malone, Bryant, Jordan, Nowitzki and Chamberlain. If he stays healthy, it’s likely he’ll pass Chamberlain (31,419 points) and Nowitzki (31,560) this season and perhaps even Jordan (32,292).

“As you’re coming up into the league, you look at these guys as heroes and you put them on pedestals, and you look at their accomplishments as sometimes unreachable,” Durant said. “But then you get on that road trying to do your thing. That’s how I’ve done since 2008. I’ve been focused on trying to be the best player I can be, and they set a standard for each player when they left the league. Guys like Wilt, Michael, Kobe — I’m missing so many guys. They just set a standard that I try to reach every day.

“I just felt like if I locked in and did what I did, I could be mentioned in the same breath as those guys. That’s the confidence I had, but I knew it was going to be a tough journey. I’ve got more to do. I’m grateful to still be playing, and hopefully I keep doing this, moving up the charts.”

Wikipedia is getting in on the yearly wrapped game

0


Everyone is doing it, so why not Wikipedia? Everyone’s favorite free online encyclopedia has decided to launch its own customized Year in Review feature on its mobile app. Of course, you’ll need the app installed and have been using it for the feature to be of much use. But clearly, the Wikimedia Foundation hopes this will spur more downloads.

The personalization features of the 2025 Wikipedia Year in Review are relatively limited. It tells you the total number of minutes spent reading, and the topics you were most interested in. (Apparently, I hadn’t logged into my Wikipedia account since 2006, and the categories I was most interested in were fiber-optic internet service and “internet properties established in 2005.”)

Beyond that, the feature focuses on providing an annual overview of activity on Wikipedia as a whole, but in a pretty graphical format, not dissimilar to Spotify’s Wrapped. A list of the most-read English language articles is topped by Charlie Kirk and “deaths in 2025,” proving that humans are incurably morbid. Wikipedia also says that editors made over 66 million changes across the site this year. The non-profit also published a full list of its most-read articles of the year, which you can peruse here.

You should see a pop-up for your Year in Review when launching the app, but if not, you can find it in the “more” menu of the Android app or in your profile page on iOS. If you’re feeling left out and want to get in on that hot Wikipedia Wrapped action for next year, better download the app now.



MMA 30 under 30: Ilia Topuria, Dakota Ditcheva and Joshua Van top the list

0


For nearly a decade, ESPN has compiled annual lists of the best young MMA fighters in the world. That tradition continues — but with a twist. Whereas for seven years we ranked the top 25 fighters under age 25, this year the list expanded to 30 fighters with eligibility extending to anyone under 30.

The rationale for the shift: In past years, many prospects aged out of eligibility even while still climbing the ranks. Expanding the rankings to 30 better reflects the landscape of prospects making their way to the big stage — and even staking their claim to it.

That is not to say that young, emerging fighters are guaranteed a continual rise. The Nos. 1 and 2 fighters in the 2024 rankings made our list again this year, but they’re well down the list. The expansion of our list to age 30 also allowed for the inclusion of a reigning UFC champion, a former titlist, a PFL champ and several who have competed for a belt.

This year’s list features four fighters who will be in action at UFC 323 in Las Vegas on Saturday (10 p.m. ET on ESPN PPV; prelims beginning at 6 p.m. on ESPN+), including 24-year-old Joshua Van, who will take on men’s flyweight title-holder Alexandre Pantoja in the main event.

Our panel — Brett Okamoto, Andreas Hale, Dre Waters, Jeff Wagenheim, Marcus Vanderberg and Alecia Hamm — selected fighters based on achievement and potential. Okamoto and Wagenheim provide breakdowns of the top 30 under 30.

Ilia Topuria celebrates KO finish to win lightweight title

Ilia Topuria defeats Charles Oliveira via knockout in the first round to win the UFC lightweight title.

1. Ilia Topuria

UFC lightweight champion
Age: 28

Potential: 10/10. Momentum: 10/10. Star power: 10/10. At any given time in MMA, there is always a short list of names that everything revolves around. Names that drive the sport’s schedule and the fans’ interest. Topuria is one of those names. At just 28 years old, Topuria has already established himself as one of the greats in MMA, winning the UFC featherweight and lightweight championships. The feat is even more impressive when you consider that his three title fights were against UFC all-timers Alexander Volkanovski, Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, respectively. Following the last of those wins, Topuria occupied the No. 1 spot in ESPN’s pound-for-pound rankings for 20 consecutive weeks. When the UFC matchmakers sit down to plan anything, Topuria is one of the most important players in that conversation. Even news of him taking a personal break from fighting in early 2026 does nothing to lessen Topuria’s star power. — Okamoto


2. Dakota Ditcheva

PFL women’s flyweight
Age: 27

Francis Ngannou hasn’t been seen inside a PFL cage in over a year, and Kayla Harrison fled to that other MMA organization. So that leaves Ditcheva as the PFL’s only draw. It didn’t help that she fought just once in 2025, but a fan-friendly fighting style — 12 knockouts among her 15 wins — makes Ditcheva one of the fight game’s rare don’t-miss attractions. She is back in action on the PFL’s opening card of 2026, taking on onetime Bellator title challenger Denise Kielholtz on Feb. 7. — Wagenheim


3. Joshua Van

UFC men’s flyweight
Age: 24

It’s not a stretch to say Van checks every box when it comes to building a potential new star. He’s a charismatic, confident (but not overly arrogant), high-action fighter who competes frequently and always throws down. He shares many similarities with a young Max Holloway. Van could close out 2025 with a UFC championship, which would put him in the running for Fighter of the Year. — Okamoto

Jack Della Maddalena impresses to become new UFC welterweight champ

Jack Della Maddalena stuns Belal Muhammad in the main event of UFC 315 to become the new welterweight champion.

4. Jack Della Maddalena

UFC welterweight
Age: 29

One might be tempted to say Della Maddalena has had his moment and that’s now over and done. His reign as UFC welterweight champion lasted just six months, and he was not merely dethroned by Islam Makhachev last month; he was dominated. But Della Maddalena had won 18 fights in a row going into UFC 322, and he’s fully capable of going on another championship-level run. He’s a finisher, with 12 knockouts and two submissions. Until his most recent bout, JDM had never appeared out of a fight, no matter the level of competition. — Wagenheim

Michael Morales punishes Gilbert Burns with flurry of punches for main-event win

Michael Morales grabs the huge win in the main event of UFC Fight Night, beating veteran Gilbert Burns for the victory.

5. Michael Morales

UFC welterweight
Age: 26

He’s undefeated and on a roll, with first-round knockouts in his past three fights. Last month’s meeting with Sean Brady was expected to test Morales’ mettle, but he barely broke a sweat in finishing the highest-ranked opponent he’s seen. Morales is a fast, aggressive and pinpoint striker, and that skill set is bolstered by strong defensive wrestling that keeps fights in his standup wheelhouse. Whoever gets Morales next is going to have an unforgiving puzzle to solve. — Wagenheim

Ian Machado Garry impresses with dominant win over Carlos Prates

Ian Machado Garry grabs another impressive win under his belt, with a unanimous-decision victory over Carlos Prates in the main event of UFC Fight Night.

6. Ian Machado Garry

UFC welterweight
Age: 28

Machado Garry has been building to this stage of his career since he took a now-infamous photo alongside Conor McGregor as a child many years ago. Machado Garry is, undoubtedly, one of the most skilled welterweights in the world. On paper, he has a shot to dethrone Makhachev. He’s not afraid of a soundbite. In fact, he appears to invest a lot of time and energy into being ready to produce one whenever it might suit him. He’s in the UFC’s second-toughest division, but if he’s able to string together the right wins, he has massive breakout potential. — Okamoto


7. Usman Nurmagomedov

PFL lightweight champion
Age: 27

Nurmagomedov was the Bellator lightweight champion when the promotion was acquired by the PFL in 2023, and in October, he became his current fight company’s first lightweight champion. He’s undefeated, yet just getting started. Nurmagomedov, cousin of Khabib and younger brother of UFC men’s bantamweight Umar, has not scored a finish since 2023, but he continues to get his hand raised. In his past two fights, he was pushed to the limit by Paul Hughes, but Nurmagomedov is 2-0 in the rivalry. Next up is a Feb. 7 title defense against another formidable United Kingdom fighter, PFL 2025 tournament winner Alfie Davis. — Wagenheim


8. Umar Nurmagomedov

UFC men’s bantamweight
Age: 29

Nurmagomedov fought for the UFC title in January and gave Merab Dvalishvili the toughest challenge of his title reign, especially early on. The champion’s bottomless gas tank eventually drained his challenger, though. After Nurmagomedov took the first “L” of his career, he bounced back, cooling off red-hot Mario Batista in October. He fights again Jan. 24, 2026, against Deiveson Figueiredo, a two-time former flyweight champion who is 4-2 since moving to 135 pounds in 2023. Nurmagomedov is building back up toward Dvalishvili, and that’s a rematch fans can get behind. — Wagenheim


9. Natalia Silva

UFC women’s flyweight
Age: 28

The UFC’s 125-pound women’s division can be broken down into two groups: Valentina Shevchenko and everyone else. But there’s reason to believe Silva will be more than just another title defense on Shevchenko’s legendary résumé. Silva has a unique, specialized standup fighting style that she has perfected. If there’s one thing we can say about Shevchenko, it’s that she’s most likely going to be the more well-rounded fighter in the Octagon. Perhaps the best way to beat her is by being a specialist, and that’s what Silva is. Her constant movement and feints on the feet have bewildered past opponents. If she beats Rose Namajunas at UFC 324 in January and eventually can beat Shevchenko, she’ll be one of the biggest names in women’s MMA overnight. — Okamoto

Arman Tsarukyan submits Dan Hooker in the 2nd round

Arman Tsarukyan puts Dan Hooker in an arm triangle and gets the tap out in the main event of UFC Fight Night.

10. Arman Tsarukyan

UFC lightweight
Age: 29

That Tsarukyan sits at No. 10 is symbolic of his career. He might be the best fighter on this list, maybe aside from Ilia Topuria, who, as the only current UFC champion under age 30, deserves the top spot here and was voted to occupy it. Tsarukyan, on the other hand, was passed over for two lower-ranked lightweights when the UFC matchmakers decided to put an interim title up for grabs next month. Tsarukyan has won five in a row and has all the makings of a No. 1 contender, except one vital ingredient: the enthused backing of his promoters. If the UFC isn’t buying into Tsarukyan, his potential is limited. — Wagenheim

Erin Blanchfield submits Tracy Cortez for massive win

Erin Blanchfield becomes the first woman to submit Tracy Cortez at UFC 322.

11. Erin Blanchfield

UFC women’s flyweight
Age: 26

Everything has happened so fast for Blanchfield. After signing with the UFC at 21 years old, Blanchfield was given a No. 1 contender opportunity seven fights into her campaign. She likely wasn’t ready for it and suffered her only UFC loss to Manon Fiorot, who is nearly 10 years her senior. Still only 26, Blanchfield has a few years to go before she hits her prime, but her maturation is catching up to her raw talent in a way that makes her a real title contender. Her understated personality doesn’t make her an obvious pick for “star” potential, but her no-nonsense approach pairs well with a ferocious fighting style. — Okamoto


12. Nassourdine Imavov

UFC middleweight
Age: 29

Imavov’s talent is obvious, so he’s always carried a lot of potential to break through, but that breakout moment feels closer than ever now that his talent is being combined with real opportunity. He has headlined, and won, his two appearances in 2025 — one in his home country of France and the other in Saudi Arabia against a living legend in Israel Adesanya. Now, he’s looking at a possible middleweight title fight against Khamzat Chimaev, who is one of the biggest stars in the sport. You can’t ask for more opportunity than that. Chimaev is a tough matchup for anyone, but the rewards of pulling off a win against him would be massive for Imavov. — Okamoto

Brendan Allen wins main event after RDR’s corner throws in towel

Brendan Allen wins a huge main event over Reinier de Ridder after de Ridder’s corner stops the fight in between rounds.

13. Brendan Allen

UFC middleweight
Age: 29

Allen has really felt the highs and lows of MMA, all before his 30th birthday. He knows the high of a seven-fight win streak and the excruciating low of back-to-back losses in high-profile fights in 2024 and 2025. At the moment, he’s back on a high after upsetting Reinier de Ridder in dominant fashion in a short-notice main event in October. Allen understands the game and he’s comfortable in the limelight because of his six years of experience already in the UFC. He might be on the cusp of turning the corner and becoming a problem for the top of the middleweight division. — Okamoto


14. Mauricio Ruffy

UFC lightweight
Age: 29

The Fighting Nerds finally hit a few road bumps in 2025, as Ruffy, Jean Silva, Caio Borralho and Carlos Prates all suffered losses within a short amount of time. And yet, it feels as if the sport is expecting a massive comeback out of the team from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Ruffy remains a cornerstone of the team and will get every opportunity to re-establish himself in 2026. Next year will be a big one for The Fighting Nerds, one way or another, and Ruffy will be a big part of that. — Okamoto


15. Jean Silva

UFC featherweight
Age: 28

Silva is coming off a humbling loss to Diego Lopes in September, but if you’re going to take a loss, it might as well be to someone like Lopes, who could be a UFC champion come January, when he challenges Vokanovski in a rematch for the featherweight championship at UFC 325. Silva is another cornerstone of The Fighting Nerds, who will seek a bounce back in 2026. The talent and drawing power are there. This team, despite hitting a snag in 2025, finishes fights. It’s a violent squad that isn’t losing popularity or attention any time soon. — Okamoto


16. Paul Hughes

PFL lightweight
Age: 28

Hughes came close to becoming a PFL champion in January, losing a majority decision to Usman Nurmagomedov. They met again in October, and Hughes came up short once more. But he elevated his standing in the sport even in two defeats, and it feels like there’s still oxygen feeding into a rivalry with Nurmagomedov. Considering those two fights and Hughes’ 2024 victory over onetime-hot prospect A.J. McKee, the road ahead still has an upward trajectory. Would the PFL allow that path to lead Hughes again to Nurmagomedov, if the champ holds on to the belt? — Wagenheim

17. Benoît Saint Denis

UFC lightweight
Age: 29

It felt like a lot of the MMA world gave up on Saint Denis after he suffered back-to-back losses to Dustin Poirier and Renato Moicano last year, but that hype train is slowly starting to reload on passengers. Saint Denis has finished three opponents in a row since losing to Moicano, including legitimate names Beneil Dariush and Mauricio Ruffy. When he lost to Poirier in March 2024, the spotlight might have been too much. Everything seemed to go wrong. Now that he’s felt that and bounced back from it, the best seems yet to come. — Okamoto

Fiziev, Bahamondes fight to bloody finish in co-main

Rafael Fiziev and Ignacio Bahamondes give the fans their money’s worth in Baku in the co-main of UFC Fight Night.

18. Ignacio Bahamondes

UFC lightweight
Age: 28

Bahamondes saw a three-fight winning streak come to an end over the summer, losing a decision to Rafael Fiziev in his first time facing top-10 competition. Bahamondes previously had shown himself capable of hot streaks, building himself back up after setbacks. Can he do it again? His 2026 will be a defining time, determining whether Bahamondes can take the next step toward the top echelon. — Wagenheim


19. Youssef Zalal

UFC featherweight
Age: 29

Zalal joined the UFC in 2020 and won his first three fights, but then he ran into some guy named Ilia Topuria and that started a skid that made him winless in four straight and out of a job. After finishing three opponents on the regional circuit, Zalal returned to the Octagon in 2024 and did so with a vengeance. He has won all five of his fights and scored submissions in four of them. His two 2025 wins, over top-10 fighters Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett, opened lots of eyes. All those eyes will be on Zalal in the coming year. — Wagenheim


20. Payton Talbott

UFC men’s bantamweight
Age: 27

MMA has a way of humbling everyone, and Talbott’s moment came earlier this year, losing to Raoni Barcelos as a near 12-1 betting favorite. The 27-year-old roared back, however, with a three-round decision win in his next bout and will now meet former two-weight champion Henry Cejudo at UFC 323 on Saturday. The UFC is clearly back on board in fast-tracking Talbott, who can stand out with his quirky personality and confident fighting style. If he beats Cejudo, he’s right back on a rocket ship to the top. And if he proves ready this time, he’s going to draw a lot of eyeballs along that route. — Okamoto

Gabriel Bonfim wins 4th straight UFC fight with KO

Gabriel Bonfim wins the main event of UFC Fight Night with a beautiful knockout of Randy Brown.

21. Gabriel Bonfim

UFC welterweight
Age: 28

The UFC’s welterweight division is as crowded as it gets right now, especially with the addition of Islam Makhachev. That said, Bonfim might be a dark horse to truly shake it up in 2026. Youth is very much on his side at 28 years old. He’s not as recognizable as some of the others in his class — Ian Machado Garry, Michael Morales and Carlos Prates — but don’t be surprised if that changes next year. If Bonfim is to break out, it will be by simply winning. And he might have the tools to do that. — Okamoto


22. Tatsuro Taira

UFC men’s flyweight
Age: 25

A year ago, Taira stood at No. 1 in ESPN’s ranking of the best 25 fighters under age 25. Since then, he’s gotten lost in the crowd by fighting only once. He won by submission, but it was in a low-profile matchup with HyunSung Park (after a higher-level opponent, Amir Albazi, withdrew). Taira has a chance to regain momentum this weekend when he faces two-time former champion Brandon Moreno at UFC 323. A win would boost Taira back onto the upward trajectory he had before his only career loss, to the other Brandon at flyweight, Royval, in 2024. — Wagenheim

DC stunned by Quillan Salkilld’s brutal head-kick KO

Quillan Salkilld drops Nasrat Haqparast with a vicious leg kick for a first-round knockout.

23. Quillan Salkilld

UFC lightweight
Age: 25

Salkilld has been in the UFC only since February but is already 3-0 — a gaudy 3-0 at that. He has earned a pair of performance of the night bonuses, including for a 19-second knockout of Anshul Jubli in his debut. Salkilld’s other bonus came in his most recent win, a first-round head-kick knockout of a streaking Nasrat Haqparast in the feature prelim of UFC 321 in October. That one secured his status as a prospect to watch. — Wagenheim


24. Bo Nickal

UFC middleweight
Age: 29

Nickal was a rising star with a UFC push behind him before suffering the first defeat of his career in May by collapsing to the body attack of Reinier de Ridder in a second-round knockout. It was a big step up in competition for Nickal, as de Ridder is a former two-division One Championship titlist with three times Nickal’s MMA experience. Nonetheless, the Nickal hype train took much mockery — until he got back on track last month. After a head-kick knockout of Rodolfo Vieira at UFC 322, Nickal leaped atop the cage and flashed two middle fingers at the Madison Square Garden crowd. Instant antihero. — Wagenheim

Baisangur Susurkaev sends opponent to mat with epic KO

25. Baisangur Susurkaev

UFC middleweight
Age: 24

The whole point of “Dana White’s Contender Series” is to build, um, contenders. It’s not a success-maker all by itself, though, just a springboard in a building process that’s supposed to take time. Susurkaev is challenging that notion. He appeared on “DWCS” on Aug. 12 and scored a first-round knockout, making such a strong impression that matchmakers booked him for his UFC debut four days later. Susurkaev won that fight as well, then added another win in November. Fast starts can be deceptive, though. Is he just gearing up, or has he already reached maximum speed? Buckle in and let’s find out. — Wagenheim


26. Maycee Barber

UFC women’s flyweight
Age: 27

Barber is the hardest name on this list to assign a rank, given what happened in her last scheduled appearance. Barber was supposed to face Erin Blanchfield in May but was pulled at the last second for medical reasons. And this was after she had missed weight for the bout. She has dealt with numerous medical issues in recent years, some of which have not come with an explanation as to exactly what was wrong. These aren’t good signs. Then again, the last time Barber’s stock appeared to dip after she lost back-to-back fights in 2020 and 2021 and tore her ACL in the process, she responded with a six-fight win streak. — Okamoto


27. Muhammad Mokaev

Brave CF men’s flyweight champion
Age: 25

Somehow, Mokaev is still only 25 years old. That seems unbelievable, considering he’s already had an undefeated seven-fight career in the UFC, alienated UFC brass to the point CEO Dana White has expressed a lack of interest in working with him again and won a title in the Brave Combat Federation. That’s a lot of accomplishments (and drama) to fit into a five-year professional career. The talent is undeniable. His name is recognizable. And sometimes, the UFC can change its mind and forgive and forget. There are a lot of possibilities at play for Mokaev, and plenty of time for him to explore each of them. — Okamoto


28. Song Yadong

UFC men’s bantamweight
Age: 28

Song has fought twice in the past two years, but they were big-time fights against former UFC champions. After losing a decision to Petr Yan in 2024, Song scored a finish against Henry Cejudo in February. Next up is another ex-champion and an even higher-profile opportunity, as Song faces Sean O’Malley on Jan. 24 at UFC 324. Song is a veteran with 15 UFC fights, and it’s about time he made his presence felt — starting by ramping up his activity to simply be a presence. — Wagenheim


29. Iasmin Lucindo

UFC strawweight
Age: 23

Lucindo was scheduled to be in action this weekend at UFC 323 but is dealing with a temporary suspension for a failed drug test. However, her team is confident the positive test came from a tainted supplement. If that’s the case, she won’t be out for an extended period. Whenever she comes back, she’s in a terrific spot. She’s already ranked No. 9 in the ESPN strawweight rankings. If she can get back to work relatively quickly, she’s a candidate to break out in 2026. — Okamoto


30. Raul Rosas Jr.

UFC men’s bantamweight
Age: 21

Rosas just recently turned 21, so we’ll likely be seeing him on this list for most of the decade to come. As a teen, he was not shy about his ambition to become the youngest champion in UFC history. However, his climb toward that goal has been negligible. Rosas has fought once in 2025, with an injury forcing him out of what would have been the most notable fight of his career, a matchup against Rob Font at Noche UFC in September. Rosas was No. 2 on ESPN’s list of the top 25 fighters under age 25 a year ago, but he enters 2026 in rebuild mode. — Wagenheim

Gay Hockey Romance Heated Rivalry: Everything to Know 

0


When was the last time your heart melted while watching ice hockey?

The new Canadian series Heated Rivalry, about star-crossed male hockey players who fall for each other but whose love is challenged by a season’s worth of drama, has been steaming up screens across North America since its Nov. 28 premiere.

The first period, er, episode gets underway with Shane Hollander introducing himself to fellow up-and-coming star Ilya Rozanov before a major international tournament, Ilya’s cockiness toward the earnest but buttoned-up Shane no match for the obvious spark between them.

“This is a gay love story set in the world of hockey, so its very existence is an act of rebellion,” show creator Jacob Tierney, who adapted the story from #Booktok fave Rachel Reid‘s queer hockey romance series Game Changers, told Toronto Life. “But the show itself is happily ever after. I didn’t want to subvert too many romance tropes.”

But if your algorithm hasn’t passed Heated Rivalry your way yet and you’re wondering who, what, where did this come from, how can I watch, and just how hot is this show, then skate no further because we’ve got you covered.

Men’s college basketball Power Rankings: Michigan leaps to No. 1

0


It’s been a revolving door at No. 1 the past couple of weeks. Purdue opened the 2025-26 season in the top spot but got replaced by Arizona after the Wildcats won at UConn in mid-November — arguably the single most impressive victory of the season thus far. If not for a Power Rankings hiatus for Thanksgiving, the Boilermakers would have taken the No. 1 spot back just a couple days later when they blew out Texas Tech in the Bahamas.

Instead of a debate between the Wildcats and Boilermakers, though, a third team emerged during Feast Week — and ultimately jumped both teams to rise to No. 1.

Michigan‘s performance at the Players Era Championship in Las Vegas was perhaps the best Feast Week run we’ve ever seen. Three wins over potential NCAA tournament teams — San Diego State, Auburn and Gonzaga, the last of which looked like a No. 1 candidate before the loss — by a combined 110 points. The Wolverines rose to No. 1 in nearly every metric, from KenPom to Bart Torvik to the NET.

Some of the stats were simply eye-popping, with this one standing out:

Dusty May has the best defense in the country and a team that’s huge, deep, old and can win playing different ways. Entering the second quarter of the regular season, Michigan is the national title favorite — and No. 1 this week.

Previous ranking: 13

In terms of individual performances from Vegas, UAB transfer Yaxel Lendeborg was, frankly, mildly disappointing through the first couple games of the season, averaging 10.5 points and 4.5 rebounds and not looking like the first-round draft pick Michigan thought it was getting out of the portal. That’s changed quickly, and Lendeborg has played himself into the Player of the Year discussion. Over the past five games, he’s averaging 18.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.6 steals — while shooting 43.5% from 3.

Saturday’s matchup against Iowa State will feature the nation’s best offense against one of the nation’s elite defenses. The Cyclones thrive off defensive pressure, forcing turnovers at a higher clip than anyone in college basketball. Braden Smith should be up to the task, although a head-to-head matchup between Smith and Tamin Lipsey — should the latter play, having missed three straight games with a lower-body injury and likely a game-time decision — could be special. Don’t ignore Trey Kaufman-Renn vs. Joshua Jefferson, two of the best power forwards in the country, either.

Can Arizona continue to win at a high level while still shooting — or not shooting — the way it does? The Wildcats have made just two 3s in three of the first seven games, including the wins over Florida and UConn. Through one month, they rank 359th in 3-point attempt rate (26.8%), even though they’re making triples at a 37.2% clip. For some historical context, only seven NCAA tournament teams ranked in the bottom 50 in 3-point attempts last season, including Michigan State and St. John’s. Two seasons ago, nine tournament teams ranked in the bottom 50, but none advanced to the second weekend.

We’ve still yet to see a fully healthy UConn, but the version we’ve gotten through the first month of the season is good enough to compete for a third title in four years. Braylon Mullins made his debut against Illinois last week and didn’t take long to show why the Huskies have been so eager to get him on the floor. He was a key catalyst in the win at Kansas, finishing with 17 points and three 3-pointers. Meanwhile, Tarris Reed Jr. returned against the Illini but played only 15 minutes, then sat against Kansas. Freshman Eric Reibe has provided a huge lift in Reed’s absence, averaging 12.8 points and 6.3 boards over the past four games.

Cameron Boozer continues to establish himself as the most productive player in college basketball, and the front-runner for both Freshman of the Year and Player of the Year. After a couple of “down” games against Kansas and Niagara, his past three games, against Howard, Arkansas and Florida, have resulted in averages of 30.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists, shooting nearly 65% from the field and 44% from 3. Boozer’s 90 points in three games is the most by a Duke player in a three-game span since JJ Redick in 2006 and the most by a Duke freshman in program history, according to ESPN Research.

The consistent dominance with which Michigan State is playing right now is incredibly impressive. The Spartans have scored between 1.21 and 1.24 points per possession in four straight games, and they’ve yet to allow a single opponent to reach 1.00 points per possession. Jeremy Fears Jr. is also playing the best basketball of his career, leading the nation in assists and becoming a more reliable threat as a scorer. He has hit double figures in scoring five times so far this season, including 19 points against North Carolina and 14 points against Iowa.

Joshua Jefferson has quietly played himself into the National Player of the Year discussion, averaging career highs — 18.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists — across the board. What makes his season even more impressive, though, is how much his game has developed over the course of his career. The 6-foot-9 senior has become one of the elite playmaking bigs in the country, dishing out 10 assists in each of his past two games. This is a player who had 76 assists total in 60 games at Saint Mary’s. If Iowa State is without Lipsey against Purdue, Jefferson will again be the offensive fulcrum.

Gonzaga looked like one of the elite teams in college basketball prior to its 40-point loss to Michigan in the Players Era title game. Despite the lopsided defeat, the Zags are still likely in that conversation. Mark Few made a lineup change after the first four games of the season, inserting Mario Saint-Supery at the point guard spot and Tyon Grant-Foster on the wing. According to BartTorvik.com, Gonzaga was No. 52 in offense and No. 2 in defense in its first four games; that has flipped to No. 25 in offense and No. 45 in defense since the lineup change. If you remove the Michigan game, it’s No. 3 on offense and No. 23 on defense.

Over his past four games, Wright is averaging 16.3 points, 8.0 assists, 2.3 steals and shooting 9-for-15 from 3-point range — while turning it over just eight times.

And while Miami transfer Jalil Bethea made his debut against Clemson, it was freshmen Amari Allen and London Jemison and sophomore big man Aiden Sherrell who stepped up against the Tigers. Allen had his fourth straight double-figure scoring game and first career double-double; Jemison scored in double figures for his third straight game; and Sherrell posted 10 boards and eight blocks.

Hubert Davis might have found something late in the win over Kentucky: Freshman guard Derek Dixon hit the go-ahead 3 with just under a minute to go and then drove for the eventual game-winning layup with 16 seconds to go. Dixon played a season-high 24 minutes against the Wildcats, with starting point guard Kyan Evans playing a season-low 16. Dixon provides extra physicality and athleticism in the backcourt, and he clearly has the moxie to take — and make — big shots late in games. It’s a position battle to monitor.

Through one month of the season, Houston is clearly not what people expected entering the campaign. But there’s no need to sound any alarm bells or sell all your Houston stock. Exiting the Players Era Festival last year, Kelvin Sampson’s team was 4-3 with losses to Auburn, Alabama and San Diego State. The Cougars had allowed at least 1.12 points per possession in all three games. They lost just one game the rest of the regular season, allowing only two teams to hit that points per possession mark.

Louisville’s success on the offensive end is predicated on a few different things: pace, points off turnovers and volume 3-point shooting. The Cardinals struggled with all three against Arkansas on Wednesday. They didn’t have a single fast-break point or a single point off turnovers in the first half and had their worst 3-point shooting performance since Dec. 11 of last season (8-for-37). Despite all of that, they were in the game late — but then also happened to have their worst defensive performance of the season and couldn’t get crucial stops. They’ll have chances to bounce back with Indiana, Memphis and Tennessee up next.

Kylan Boswell is having by far the best season of his career, but it’s not just the numbers — career highs across the board — that are jumping out. It’s the way he has performed in the Illini’s biggest games. He had 22 points and three 3s in the big win over Texas Tech in early November, 22 points and seven assists in the loss to Alabama, and he was Brad Underwood’s best player in the defeat to UConn. He went for 25 points and nine rebounds against the Huskies, carrying the rest of the team for stretches.

The Commodores might be the biggest surprise of the first month of the season. They’re pummeling teams right now, and not just the cupcakes on their schedule. They beat a good VCU team by 15 points on Nov. 27, destroyed a previously unbeaten Saint Mary’s team by 25 on Nov. 28 and then dominated a previously unbeaten SMU team by 19 on Dec. 3. They have one of the elite offenses in college basketball and Tyler Tanner is perhaps the most underrated point guard in the country. He had 26 points and six assists in the win over SMU.

Arkansas lost narrowly to Michigan State and Duke in its two previous marquee nonconference matchups but set the tone early in Wednesday’s win over Louisville. The Razorbacks kept the Cardinals at arm’s length for most of the game and led by as many as 20 points in the second half. The freshman guard duo of Darius Acuff Jr. and Meleek Thomas are getting much of the attention, but Trevon Brazile is playing arguably his best basketball since the 2022 Maui Invitational. He had 21 points and five boards against Louisville and is now averaging nearly 14 and eight over his past five games, shooting 40% from 3.

Auburn’s offense is clicking right now. At the Players Era Championship in Las Vegas, star point guard Tahaad Pettiford snapped out of a slump, averaging 22.3 points and shooting 42.1% from 3. He did struggle against NC State (six points), but the Tigers got huge shotmaking performances from Kevin Overton (29 points, six 3s) and Keyshawn Hall (28 points, five 3s). Steven Pearl’s team has responded well to the blowout loss to Michigan. Over their past three halves — a 55-point second half against St. John’s and Wednesday’s 83-73 win over the Wolfpack — the Tigers are shooting 60.8% from the field and 56.7% from 3.

Chad Baker-Mazara has been terrific for the Trojans, scoring at least 23 points on four occasions — including averaging 24.0 points over his past two games. He came up huge late against the Ducks, getting three straight USC baskets in the final minutes while it was a one-possession game. The Trojans’ schedule the rest of 2025 looks fairly manageable, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them head into their Jan. 2 visit at Michigan undefeated.

Kansas went 3-0 in Las Vegas at the Players Era Championship, getting improved play from Bryson Tiller and Jamari McDowell and looking like it had the chops to survive without Darryn Peterson. And through one half against UConn on Tuesday, it was more of the same. But down the stretch, the Jayhawks really struggled to find any consistent offense. That said, there should be more optimism about this team once Peterson returns. Veterans like Melvin Council Jr. and Tre White can fill roles, Flory Bidunga has really emerged and Elmarko Jackson is playing better, too.

After the Volunteers looked like a potential top-10 team again by beating Houston in their second Players Era Championship game, they’ve now lost back-to-back games to Kansas and Syracuse. Against the Jayhawks, they simply couldn’t get stops when they needed, but it was the offense that really struggled against Syracuse. Ja’Kobi Gillespie had 10 points, his fewest since the season opener, while Nate Ament went 2-for-10 from the field. Tennessee doesn’t have the firepower to survive when its top two shotmakers aren’t scoring.

Florida’s new-look backcourt has been a work in progress, though one half of the transfer tandem seems to be finding his way. Boogie Fland had 17 points against Providence out in San Diego, then had 16 points in the one-point loss to Duke — including the go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute. He turned it over on the final possession, but his aggressiveness and confidence are back. Now, can Todd Golden coax the same jump from Xaivian Lee? It was notable he opted to play Urban Klavzar more in the second half against Duke, and Klavzar responded with a pair of 3s.

Defensively, they’ve allowed at least 1.06 points per possession in five of their eight games. Upcoming contests against LSU, Arkansas and Duke will test them further.

Amazon is reportedly ready to drop its USPS deal if negotiations fall through

0


After over 30 years, Amazon may be cutting ties with the United States Postal Service as it looks to expand its own delivery network, as reported by The Washington Post. The outlet, owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, cites anonymous sources who said negotiations between Amazon and Trump-appointed USPS Postmaster General David Steiner have reportedly stagnated, pushing Amazon to consider concluding the partnership altogether.

Washington Post reporter Jacob Bogage noted in a post on Bluesky that “this was not Amazon’s preferred plan.” According to Bogage, Amazon wanted to extend its contract with the USPS, which is set to expire on October 1st, 2026, but the USPS planned to “auction off last-mile delivery contracts” instead.

In a statement provided to The Verge, Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly said, “We’ve continued to discuss ways to extend our partnership that would increase our spend with them, and we look forward to hearing more from them soon – with the goal of extending our relationship that started more than 30 years ago.”

Amazon’s plan to cut ties with the USPS isn’t final yet — it would reportedly only move forward with expanding its own delivery network if it can’t come to an agreement to extend its USPS contract. Amazon has called the USPS its “first and oldest business partner,” and contributed $6 billion in revenue to the USPS in 2025, making up about 7.5 percent of the Postal Service’s total revenue.

If it left USPS behind, Amazon’s own in-house delivery network would rival that of the Postal Service. According to Pitney Bowes, Amazon handled 6.3 billion parcels in 2024, second only to the USPS with 6.9 billion, and could overtake the USPS by 2028, shipping an estimated 8.4 billion packages compared to the USPS’s 8.3 billion.

Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly:

“The USPS is a longstanding and trusted partner and we remain committed to working together. We’ve continued to discuss ways to extend our partnership that would increase our spend with them, and we look forward to hearing more from them soon – with the goal of extending our relationship that started more than 30 years ago. We were surprised to hear they want to run an auction after nearly a year of negotiations, so we still have a lot to work through. Given the change of direction and the uncertainty it adds to our delivery network, we’re evaluating all of our options that would ensure we can continue to deliver for our customers.”

Supernanny Jo Frost Reacts to Bachelor Star Madison Prewett’s Plan to Spank Daughter (Exclusive)

Madi Prewett is sharing insight into her marriage with Grant Troutt

The Bachelor alum, who competed on Peter Weber’s season of the dating reality show, recently admitted she loves being in a “submissive” relationship with her husband. 

“Being a submissive wife, it was a challenge for me at first,” Madi explained during the Dec. 1 episode of the Stay True podcast, “but now it’s my favorite thing, I love talking about submission.”

This isn’t the first time Madi has discussed coming around to being submissive to her husband—with whom she shares daughter Hosanna, 10 months. 

“As a wife, I’m called to submit, I’m called to respect, I’m called to honor,” Madi explained during a June 2024 episode of her podcast. “I’m called to be committed and keep our marriage bed pure.”

She reasoned, “I’m called to make him, other than God, my greatest priority.” 

Indeed, Madi reflected on how her past feminist beliefs were “rebelling against God’s original design.”
