In case you didn’t know.. Khabib Nurmagomedov last competed in the Octagon during a hugely-anticipated lightweight title defense against ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor.

Khawaja (171) scored his sixth Test century and Shaun Marsh (98 not out) looked in fine form on a flat SCG pitch on day three. The duo, as well as Steve Smith (83) and Mitchell Marsh (63 not out), helped Australia – who hold an unassailable 3-0 series lead – to 479-4 at stumps, a lead of 133 runs.

Keselowski beat out Chase Elliott and Kyle Busch for his second win of the season. It was also his second career win in Martinsville. The 35-year-old started third and led for 446 of the 500 laps at the shortest track on the NASCAR schedule. This was the most laps led at Martinsville in modern history. Keselowski also claimed a victory in Atlanta in late February. He now has 29 career NASCAR Cup victories....

Carl Hagelin repeated a similar sequence with Kessel later in the second period that ended the same way. The two goals completed a natural hat trick for Kessel and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 on Thursday night. “There’s a fine line between anticipation and cheating and I think Phil has a knack for seeing those windows of opportunity,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “He has explosive speed so he can create separation when he needs to....

Symptoms develop quickly—usually over 24 hours—and range from nausea or vomiting to extreme fatigue and trouble thinking clearly. DKA is commonly triggered when you are under stress—like being sick—or when taking medications that change how your body handles glucose. Frequent Symptoms of Diabetic Ketoacidosis DKA presents with a myriad of vague signs and symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. People with DKA may also have increased thirst and urination, also called polyuria....

Researchers at the University of Bonn, Germany, found that mice switched to a keto diet showed significantly reduced inflammation of the respiratory tract. Asthma patients can react to low concentrations of some allergens with severe inflammation of the bronchi. They also experience increased mucus production, which makes breathing more difficult. A central role here is played by cells of the innate immune system, which are called Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs)....

The 24-year-old has quickly established himself in City’s first team this season and admits that his big money move has helped him get more games under his belt and has wasted no time in making a name for himself. “It makes a huge difference [whether a club paid a lot of money for you],” he said. “I would have played more at Chelsea had they paid as much for me as City did....

Durant told reporters after his team’s victory over the Knicks that Williams was looking to toss him “because he was still in his feelings” over Durant telling Williams in the first half he was wrong to call Durant for carrying. “He went to halftime probably with an attitude,” Durant told reporters, “so (in the) second half his whole thing was like, he’s trying to get me.” ALL-STAR: Westbrook gets in dig at KD while speaking up for George...

None of this is sitting well with one of Durant and Westbrook’s former teammates. Kendrick Perkins, who played in Oklahoma City from 2011-15, told Adrian Wojnarowski on The Vertical Podcast that both Durant and Westbrook are going to be disappointed when they look back at what could have been with the Thunder.

And then, with 9:46 left in the second quarter, all the excitement and anticipation surrounding Durant’s return was swallowed whole by the shock and sadness of watching him clutch at his leg on the far sideline. Durant had to be helped off the floor and back to the locker room for further evaluation.

While Daredevil has not made an appearance in any Marvel movie or television show outside of the Netflix original series that introduced starred Cox, fans of the MCU think it’s only a matter of time before he makes an appearance. While the Netflix Daredevil show was canceled after just three seasons, its fanbase has been strident in making it clear that they don’t want anyone else playing the blind superhero but Cox....

There have been plenty of guesses about just when the X-Men are going to join the MCU. While they haven’t really made a significant appearance yet, there was at least an allusion to the X-Men in the Ms. Marvel finale. There was also the introduction of Professor X in the form of Patrick Stewart in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. However, that only whets the appetite of those who are longing for an X-Men film to officially be part of the MCU....

The teams weren’t the only story on the field, however. Late in the third quarter of the game, a fan snuck onto the field wearing shorts and a leotard advertising an adult site (which we won’t name). CBS cut away from the telecast as field security apprehended the trespasser. But Kevin Harlan, who called the game from the radio booth, treated fans to a hilarious Super Bowl-worthy call as the situation unfolded:...

The left-hander, under pressure heading into the final Ashes Test, silenced his critics by reaching an unbeaten 132 at lunch. Khawaja and captain Steve Smith (83) made the most of a flat SCG pitch to help Australia to 277-3, trailing by just 69 runs, in their first innings. England’s bowlers toiled before Moeen Ali (1-68) removed Smith in a much-needed breakthrough as the session finished in eventful fashion, with Khawaja lucky to survive....

The ONE welterweight world champion will give up a little bit of size with the move up a weight class. However, he believes that it may even be an advantage for him. In a recent interview, Abbasov explained that fighting bigger opponents is not new for him, saying: De Ridder stands at 193 centimeters tall as opposed to Abbasov’s 188-centimeter height. Instead of creating distance though, de Ridder typically uses his size to close the distance on his opponent....

The Ducks, who have to deal with the Kings and Blackhawks in the postseason, got themselves a perfect second-line center for the job. Kesler has some time left in his prime, two years on his contract and cost Anaheim relatively little. Kesler had 25 goals and 43 points in 77 games last season after missing most of 2013. He was a 41-goal scorer in 2010-11, also when he won the Selke, and turns 30 in August....
