Abus Magomedov is not one to make callouts, but he's made an exception and broken that personal principle.Magomedov (29-7-1 MMA, 5-3 UFC) called out former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya for a fight following his latest feat in the octagon. Saturday, on the main card of UFC Fight Night 280 in Baku, Azerbaijan, Magomedov rocked and then slept Michal Oleksiejczuk (22-10 MMA, 10-8 UFC) to bounce back from a loss to Joe Pyfer and set himself 4-1 in his past five outings. After the win, Magomedov grabbed the microphone and shot his shot."I have one name, I hope Mick (Maynard) going to give me that fight," Magomedov said in his in-cage post-fight interview. "I want to fight against Israel Adesanya. Now we're almost at the same level. I hope I'm going to get the fight after this performance."Magomedov believes Adesanya serves as an excellent opportunity for his career. He also would like to settle a bit of a beef, as he's felt in the past Adesanya has been dismissive of him."I'm not someone who do some callouts and all that stuff," Magomedov told UFC.com back stage. "Only one guy and it was Adesanya. We have back in the day some conversation, and he talked a little bit of sh*t about me and now it's time, I think. I hope we fight one day. A lot of respect for Adesanya, he was champion. I was growing up with his fights, but now is my time."Time will tell where Magomedov will land next in terms of his UFC career. For now, Magomedov is happy with what he showed on Saturday. "Man, I'm happy," Magomedov said. "It was a tough opponent, and I knew before like he's a veteran with almost 20 fights in the UFC and big experience. I knew I had to stay concentrated and do my job, and in the end, it pays off."This article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: Abus Magomedov wants Israel Adesanya: 'He talked a little bit of sh*t'

Streaming might be everywhere now, but it hasn't killed the demand for downloadable files. Not even close. Commuters still want their podcasts saved before they lose signal on the train.

The ninety minutes of regulation have been played. The thirty minutes of extra time has expired. Both teams are tied. Now what? The two most exciting words in soccer: penalty shootout. But what exactly is a penalty shootout, and how does it work? Here is your guide to understanding penalty shootouts at the 2026 FIFA World Cup: How Do Penalty Shootouts Work? The two competing teams take turns taking penalty kicks from the penalty spot up to five attempts. If one team builds an insurmountable lead, the shootout ends early because the opposing team cannot mathematically catch up. If the score is still level after both teams have taken five kicks, the shootout moves into sudden death, with attempts continuing one round at a time. If a team scores and the following team misses, the shootout ends and the scoring team wins. When Do Penalty Shootouts Happen? Penalty shootouts happen after both times are tied after the 90 minutes of regulation and 30 minutes of extra time have been exhausted. Penalty shootouts only occur after the group stage of the tournament, which includes the round of 32, round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals and the final. What Is A Penalty Kick? A penalty kick or "PK" is a one-on-one duel between a field player and a goalkeeper in which the field player tries to score a direct kick from the penalty spot. How Far Is The Penalty Spot? The penalty is 12 yards from the center of the goal line, meaning that there are just 12 yards that separate the penalty taker and the goalkeeper at the time of a penalty kick. What Are The Rules For The Penalty Taker? The penalty taker is given freedom to confuse the goalkeeper during their run-up to the kick so long as: If a penalty taker makes contact with the ball more than once during their attempt and the attempt is successful, the penalty kick will be retaken. If it isn't, it will be recorded as a miss and the shootout will resume. What Are The Rules For The Goalkeeper? The goalkeeper must follow three key rules during a penalty kick: face the kicker, stay between the goalposts and keep at least one foot on or over the goal line until the kick. If a goalkeeper leaves their line during a penalty attempt and the attempt is unsuccessful, it will be retaken. If the attempt is successful, it will result in a goal. Additionally, goalkeepers may not touch the goalposts, crossbar or netting as an intimidation tactic. Trash-talking is also not permitted.
