islam Makhachev Claims 170-Pound Title, Extends UFC Win Streak to 16

New York, NY – Islam Makhachev defeated Justin‍ Gaethje‍ via first-round⁣ head-kick knockout at UFC 322 on Saturday night at Madison ⁢Square Garden, becoming the new UFC welterweight champion and tying anderson Silva’s record for the longest⁤ winning streak in UFC history with 16 ⁢consecutive victories. The fight concluded at 3:23 of ⁢the first round.

Makhachev’s dominant performance solidifies his status as one of the sport’s ‍most formidable fighters and marks⁤ a significant shift in the⁣ welterweight division.The Dagestani fighter, previously the⁣ lightweight champion, moved up in weight to challenge Gaethje, a notoriously dangerous striker. This victory makes makhachev a two-division champion and⁣ sets the stage for ⁢potential super fights against other top contenders.

“I want to say‍ thank you to Justin, he’s a very tough opponent,” Makhachev said inside ⁢the cage after the win. “Now, I⁢ am the champion. I will defend my title.”

Gaethje, known for his aggressive style⁢ and powerful striking, was unable to withstand Makhachev’s relentless pressure and precise striking. The⁣ knockout came after a series of feints ⁢and a perfectly timed head kick that landed flush on Gaethje’s chin.

Makhachev (25-1) had previously held the lightweight title, defending it against Alexander Volkanovski and Dustin Poirier. His move ⁣to welterweight was seen as a bold step, and ⁢his victory proves his‌ adaptability and skill. ⁤

The win ties makhachev with Anderson⁢ Silva for the longest winning streak in‌ UFC history. Silva achieved his 16-fight streak between 2005 and 2013.

Real Madrid‘s Momentum Stalls wiht Draw Against Rayo Vallecano

MADRID – real Madrid saw‌ their notable scoring run come to a⁣ halt once more, settling for ⁤a 0-0 draw against⁤ Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Sunday. The result marks the Spanish giants’ second⁢ consecutive setback following a mid-week⁣ Champions League defeat at Liverpool.

For the first time since ‍their loss to Liverpool on Tuesday, Madrid’s typically potent attack failed to find the back ‍of ‍the net. Prior to those ⁢two matches, Los Blancos had scored in every game this season.

Despite the draw, Real Madrid maintains its position atop the La Liga table, holding ⁢a five-point advantage over Villarreal. However, Barcelona has the prospect to close the gap ⁣to just three points with ⁤a victory over Celta Vigo later today.

This weekend’s result follows a season of dominant form for ‌Madrid,having secured 13 wins in 15 matches across all competitions. Their only previous losses came against liverpool and a 5-2 defeat to ⁤Atletico Madrid in September.

Rayo Vallecano, currently‍ 12th in the league, entered the match after a heavy 4-0‌ loss to Villarreal but buoyed by recent successes‍ in the Europa League and Copa del Rey.

In earlier action on sunday, Athletic Bilbao ended a three-game ‍losing streak with a 1-0 win over Oviedo. A 25th-minute strike from Nico Williams, who skillfully navigated⁣ past three defenders on the left⁤ wing, secured the victory for ⁣the seventh-placed Bilbao side.⁢ Oviedo, meanwhile, continues to struggle, extending their winless run to six matches across all⁢ competitions and remaining ⁢at⁤ the bottom of the table.

San Diego FC Wins Inaugural Playoff ‍Game, Defeats Portland Timbers 2-1

SAN ⁣DIEGO (AP) – In a historic night for the franchise, San Diego FC secured ⁤a 2-1 victory⁤ over⁢ the Portland Timbers in the opening ⁢game of their best-of-three frist-round MLS Cup playoff series on Sunday. Onni Valakari and Anders ⁢Dreyer ⁣each found the net in the first half,‌ propelling the top-seeded expansion club ⁣to a crucial win in their first-ever postseason appearance.

Valakari broke the deadlock in ⁢the 23rd minute,⁢ capitalizing on a shot from Manu Duah that ⁣deflected off the ⁤right post. It marked the first goal of the regular ‍season for valakari, who finished with four total. Seven minutes later, Dreyer extended San Diego’s lead to 2-0 with a header, assisted⁣ by rookie defender Luca bombino. Dreyer, in his debut season, proved a potent⁤ offensive force with ⁣19 goals and 19 assists throughout the year,⁤ while Bombino contributed four⁣ assists in‌ 26 appearances.

Portland‍ responded in the 36th minute with a goal from first-year defender Kristoffer Velde -⁣ his first career goal. The assist came from Antony Alves Santos, his first in playoff action, and veteran Diego Chara, 39, recorded his first postseason assist in 24 appearances, all with the Timbers.

The Timbers pressed‌ for an equalizer in the second half, but were thwarted⁣ by San Diego’s defense and goalkeeper CJ dos Santos. Antony⁤ had a one-on-one prospect ⁣in the 61st minute, sending his shot left, and Kamal Miller headed over the crossbar just two minutes later.

Portland’s‌ comeback efforts were further ⁢hampered ‍when defender Jimer Fory‌ received two yellow⁣ cards in ⁤speedy succession,resulting in a red card and forcing the ⁢Timbers to play a man down ‍from the‍ 66th minute onward.

Dos Santos finished with two saves in his first postseason‍ start. Portland’s James Pantemis was busy, turning away six shots in his third playoff start and fifth overall appearance.

The series now shifts to Portland on Saturday, where san Diego previously⁢ earned a dominant 4-0 victory on October 18th.The teams also played ‌to a 0-0 draw in San Diego in late August.

Portland‍ reached the postseason for the first time since 2021 and eighth time having defeated Real Salt Lake 3-1‍ in ‍the wild-card round on Wednesday. The Timbers previously lifted the‍ MLS Cup in 2015. San Diego, meanwhile, enjoyed a remarkable inaugural season, ⁢winning the Western Conference and now looking to continue their playoff run.

New York Chikungunya Case: First Local Transmission in 6 Years

New York ‍Reports first Locally Acquired Chikungunya Case in Six ‌Years

Mineola, NY – New York State health officials have confirmed the first locally acquired case of chikungunya‌ virus within the state in six years. The case, identified in a Nassau County resident on Long Island, marks a potential ⁣shift‌ in the virus’s presence within the United States.

The individual began experiencing symptoms in August after⁤ traveling within New York State, but not internationally. While the exact source of infection ⁣remains unclear, health officials believe⁤ a local⁢ mosquito bite is the ‍likely ⁣cause. Importantly, the virus has not yet been detected in local mosquito populations, and⁣ there is currently no evidence of ongoing transmission.

Chikungunya, typically found⁣ in tropical and subtropical regions, is spread by mosquitoes. While not usually fatal, the illness presents with symptoms including fever, joint pain, headache, muscle pain, joint ⁢swelling, and rashes. Most⁤ individuals recover within a week, however, newborns, older adults, and those with underlying health conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes face a higher risk of complications.

State Health commissioner James McDonald noted that the risk of transmission is currently “very low” due to decreasing mosquito activity with‌ cooler fall temperatures. The mosquito species capable of carrying chikungunya is present in the New York City ⁢metropolitan area, including Long Island, ⁢but the disease is not ‌spread person-to-person.

This case follows ⁣three other chikungunya infections reported in New ⁤York State this year, ⁣all linked to travel outside the country‌ to areas where the virus is more⁣ common. The last locally acquired case in the U.S. and its territories was reported in 2019.

Health officials emphasize that local mosquitoes can also carry other viruses, including West Nile, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and⁣ Jamestown Canyon viruses, highlighting the ‍importance of continued mosquito control and personal protective ‍measures.

Asian shares skid after Wall Street tumbles to its worst day since April as China trade woes worsen

by Lucas Fernandez – World Editor October 13, 2025

written by Lucas Fernandez – World Editor

Asian shares fell sharply Monday following a broad sell-off on ‍Wall Street that marked the worst trading day for U.S. stocks as April, fueled ⁤by escalating concerns over‍ global trade⁢ tensions adn a weakening Chinese economy. The ⁢downturn underscores investor‍ anxieties about slowing economic growth ‌and the potential for further disruptions to international commerce.

On Friday, the S&P 500 dropped 0.8%, the ‌Nasdaq Composite shed 1.0%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost‍ 0.7%. The declines followed former President‌ Trump‘s renewed‍ threat to impose tariffs on China, ‌perhaps exacerbating trade friction between the world’s two largest economies.

Oil prices also experienced volatility. The price of a ‌barrel of benchmark U.S. crude sank 4.2% to $58.90 on ⁣Friday, coinciding with a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ‌in Gaza, which eased⁣ concerns about potential oil supply disruptions. ⁢Brent crude, the international‌ standard, dropped 3.8% to $62.73 ⁢per barrel. However,⁢ early Monday,‍ U.S. benchmark crude oil gained 88 cents to $59.78 per barrel, and brent crude‌ was trading 92‍ cents higher at $63.65 per barrel.

In the bond market, ⁤the ⁣yield on ⁣the 10-year Treasury sank to 4.05% from 4.14% late Thursday, a move already underway before Trump’s tariff threats, influenced by a University⁤ of michigan report indicating continued low consumer sentiment.

Currency‍ markets also saw movement, with the⁤ dollar ‌falling⁤ to 151.87 Japanese yen from 151.89 yen ⁤late Friday, and the euro climbing to $1.1627 from $1.1614.

The market‍ had been‌ facing scrutiny over valuations, with ⁢the S&P 500 remaining ‍near its all-time high despite a nearly 35% run from ‌its April low. Critics have pointed to a disconnect between rising stock prices and corporate profits, notably within the artificial-intelligence sector, drawing comparisons to the dot-com bubble of ⁤the early 2000s. For stock valuations to be justified, ⁤either prices need‌ to fall or corporate⁣ profits need to increase.
