He fought like he was accustomed to the iron taste of his own blood.This was a guy who would walk through hell with gasoline boots, such was his desire to fight fire with fire.In Texas, it was Silva's fire that burned brightest as he smoked Morozov midway through the bout.Silva had Morozov on the floor from his heavy hands, but the tough Kazakh scrambled to his feet, only to end up on the ground again moments later.He wasn't to get up again.Silva knee'd him, elbowed him, and sought a rear-naked choke finish after taking his back. It was tight, but Morozov — too tough for his own good — didn't tap.And so Silva, who had been wearing a mask of blood through much of the contest, got a finish so emphatic it could likely earn him a performance-related bonus check.Morozov, his eyes rolling into the back of his head, had been choked unconscious.Watch the fight-ending submission right here:<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">—ESPN <keyword id="11922276" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="mma" source="Orion">MMA</keyword> (@espnmma) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1492650639842705408">February 13, 2022</a></blockquote>Silva's performance impressed <keyword id="11922275" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="ufc" source="Orion">UFC</keyword> elite, as the former lightweight contender Justin Gaethje said the 36-year-old "may have just been violently thrusted into my top 10 fighters to keep an eye on.""What a comeback," <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeChandlerMMA/status/1492649223073972225" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he posted on Twitter.</a>Victory advanced Silva's pro <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/mma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MMA</a> record to 28 wins (20 knockouts, two submissions, and six decisions) against four losses.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">—UFC (@ufc) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1492649642785447937">February 12, 2022</a></blockquote>Earlier on the preliminary section of the show, Jeremiah Wells beat Mike Mathetha by rear-naked choke in the first round, and Maxim Grishin out-pointed William Knight with three scores of 30-27.Jacob Malkoun also out-pointed A.J.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>On Wednesday, a judge <a href="https://www.insider.com/kevin-costners-estranged-wife-ordered-to-move-out-end-month-2023-7">ordered Kevin Costner's ex-wife to move out</a> of their Santa Barbara compound by the end of July.</li><li>After the ruling, a divorce attorney told Insider it appears the judge favors Costner and the prenup.</li></ul><a href="https://www.insider.com/kevin-costners-estranged-wife-ordered-to-move-out-end-month-2023-7">Kevin Costner's estranged wife</a> may have to temper her six-figure child support requests in order to get the best resolution possible in her divorce battle with the actor, a divorce attorney told Insider.During a Wednesday hearing, Costner scored the case's first victory after a judge ruled that his estranged spouse, Christine Baumgartner, had to move out of their Santa Barbara compound by the end of July — referring to a clause from their premarital agreement. The ruling highlighted that the judge may continue to side with Costner as it related to other clauses in the agreement, like child support, Marilyn Chinitz, a divorce attorney and partner at Blank Rome, told Insider. Chinitz's former clients include actors Tom Cruise and Michael Douglas."The judge is basically saying this agreement is enforceable, and you contracted to vacate Kevin Costner's separate property home, I'm gonna hold you to it," Chinitz told Insider. "And that's a really bold move for a judge to make."<h2>Baumgartner's child support asks are steep compared to the agreement</h2>In recent filings, Baumgartner's legal team has lowered child support requests from $248,000 to $217,300 per month, and a clause in their premarital agreement requires Costner to pay $30,000 per month in child support if they divorce.Both parties have admitted in court documents that the "Yellowstone" actor has covered all of the children's expenses, meaning that child support for Baumgartner would be intended to cover overhead for living expenses, food, and travel, which could weaken her case."I don't know many people who would need over $200,000 for those expenses," Chinitz said, of the per month figure, who added that the payments are non-taxable and non-deductible. "That's just unheard of."After Baumgartner filed for divorce in May, Costner filed a motion to evict her from their marital home, citing a clause in their prenuptial agreement that he said gave her 30 days to move out after divorce proceedings began.Costner's legal team has claimed that he paid Baumgartner $1 million for a new house as part of the premarital agreement and that he had offered to pay the mortgage, insurance, and taxes for a year, per court documents.Lawyers for Costner and Baumgartner did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.In previous filings, Baumgartner said that Costner made $19 million last year and that he had covered the family's $6.6 million expenses. <a href="https://www.insider.com/kevin-costners-spouse-says-he-canceled-credit-card-without-notice-2023-6?inline-endstory-related-recommendations=">Baumgartner has argued that she needs the money</a> to secure housing, and to match the life of luxury that their three children are used to. <h2>Judges in divorce cases like Costner's are not ruling on 'equality'</h2>Chinitz told Insider that in celebrity divorce cases with one partner who was wealthy by the time of the wedding, like Costner, the court will consider the lifestyle the less fortunate partner enjoyed but not replicate it."There doesn't have to be equality, there has to be a semblance," Chinitz said. "It may not be a house on the beach, but it'll still be a lovely environment."Costner's first wife, Cindy Silva, <a href="https://www.insider.com/kevin-costner-first-wife-80-million-payout-christine-baumgartner-wont-2023-6">received an $80 million payout</a> after their 1994 divorce. As a result of the divorce, Costner said that he inked a premarital agreement with Baumgartner that outlines his separate property, per court documents.At a November hearing, a judge is due to rule on the enforceability of Costner and Baumgartner's premarital agreement as a whole, having already foreshadowed where he stands by validating the clause that will evict Baumgartner.This week, Baumgartner balked at Costner's offer for $52,000 in child support, which would be higher than what they agreed to in the prenuptial contract.After Wednesday, Baumgartner's best bet may be to avoid pushing litigation on the agreement further, Chinitz added."I think it would be wise for her to try to settle, and get the best bargain she can," Chinitz said.Correction: July 7, 2023 — An earlier version of this story misstated who attorney Marilyn Chinitz has represented. She has not represented Cardi B.

I've had close friends, family members, who have been shot and killed," said Murphy."It's one of them things that happens a lot in that area … wrong place, wrong time."He spent a week in intensive care at a hospital, had four teeth replaced, and shrapnel from a bullet remains in his tongue to this day - although it doesn't alert security when he goes through airport screening, he said.Almost a decade has passed since the drive-by, and though he does not forget the shooting, waking up in the hospital, or recovering at home, he uses the incident as positive as it shows how far he has come since then.He got into MMA, and the combative sports gave him the discipline to change the direction his life was taking. "I try to keep it as a positive in my life, spur me on, do better, rather than have it hanging like a negative. I try not to look back, but look forward," Murphy said.<h2>Getting his first win in the UFC during the COVID-era in sport was a surreal moment</h2><div type="image" title="Lerone Murphy, UFC Fight Island" height="1355" width="2000" msid="80350813" hostid="261"></div>Insider was Octagonside for Murphy's most recent match in which <a href="https://www.insider.com/video-lerone-murphy-dominates-then-finishes-with-ground-and-pound-2020-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he finished Ricardo Ramos with nasty ground-and-pound</a> before celebrating in front of his UFC boss Dana White, who seemed shocked at the time last summer.Insider described Murphy's win over Ramos as an annihilation and marveled at the efficiency of his attacking output."I'm a striker, and I throw with exciting technique, but I feel I've not yet got to show the best of me, yet," he said, describing his style. "But hopefully, Wednesday, I'll show my best side."Murphy had been given a baptism of fire in his UFC debut, managing to score a draw against Zubaira Tukhugov.The next year, he got his first win. But it did not sink in until he was back at the fighter hotel and grabbed his phone so he could call his mother. She cannot watch her son fight and cannot sleep until she hears his voice."She's nervous, scared, and so I call to [put her at ease]," Murphy told us. "Even if it's 5 a.m., she can't sleep until I phone her. She's super proud of where I am in life now, win, lose, or draw."Besides fighting to make his mom proud, Murphy wants to behave in a way that inspires his young son. Fatherhood, too, allows him to cling to something."My family are the people I do this for," he said."I'm not just doing it for myself. I'm training and working for him now. I want him to be proud, thinking, 'This is my dad.'"I want him to work hard for him, so he never has to go down the road I went down. It's a big task."I'll teach him how to fight because martial arts is a good discipline that has taught me a lot, but I wouldn't want him to [compete]."Before Murphy found MMA, he was an ambitious soccer player. Out of the two sports, he'd want his son to pick the latter."He should get into football. Go and earn that big money … for Manchester United. He has to be a red!"<h2>A war could break out Wednesday</h2><div type="image" title="Lerone Murphy" height="1401" width="2000" msid="80350814" hostid="261"></div>Victory over Douglas Silva de Andrade can act as a springboard to further success, as Murphy wants to increasingly step-up the opposition level and climb the featherweight rankings.His bout Wednesday could be a fan-friendly one, with two strikers promising a stand-up war. "I feel it's going to go that way," he told Insider."A lot of his fights on UFC Fight Pass are from years ago, so it's hard to get a gauge of where he's at now, but I feel I know his game - he's powerful, and I know it's a good fight."In the perfect world, I want four fights this year, get into the top-15 at the back end of the year."Obviously, my goal has to be title, otherwise what are we doing this for? Get the title, and create a better life for me and my family."If his mother can't watch his fights, would she at least tune in for a title shot?Murphy laughs at the thought."No! She can't watch any fights and then watch that one fight! She'd feel like a bad luck charm or something."Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/watch-conor-mcgregor-take-yacht-and-rolls-royce-to-ufc-2021-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor shows he's the UFC's version of Tiger Woods as he charters a yacht to Fight Island</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/calvin-kattar-taken-to-hospital-after-losing-to-max-holloway-2021-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UFC boss Dana White ordered Calvin Kattar to go to the hospital after he was dominated by all-action fighter Max Holloway</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/alessio-di-chirico-got-a-cash-bonus-for-his-ko-but-shunned-interviews-2021-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A UFC fighter got a $50,000 bonus for a shock KO but shunned media interviews and gave Dana White a moody look backstage</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/conor-mcgregor-would-welcome-ufc-trilogy-with-nate-diaz-2021-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor would welcome a third and final fight with long-time rival Nate Diaz</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/conor-mcgregor-reacts-to-youtube-creator-jake-paul-2021-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor said he's 'certainly a viewer' of YouTubers like Jake Paul, and that they don't make a mockery of fighting</a>

Check out the full list <a href="https://www.insider.com/the-luminaries-25-people-accomplishing-extraordinary-goals-2020-10">here</a>.</li></ul><ul class="summary-list"></ul>Six years ago, while Katie Sturino was working in fashion public relations, she was asked to appear in a Repeller article about dressing for curvy body types. It was a perfect fit, she said, because she considers herself to be a body acceptance advocate. After the story came out, Sturino heard from readers who said they had never seen a body like hers on a fashion blog. It sparked the idea for what would become her blog, <a href="https://www.the12ishstyle.com/">12ish Style</a>, named for her own size — she fluctuated between a size 12 and 14, and wanted to address people who, like her, fell in between straight sizing and plus-size. The goal of the blog, she said, was to spread awareness about body acceptance. "I didn't have representation, so I became the representation," Sturino told Insider. "It's been my 'aha' moment because it's allowed me to tap into helping women. When you're in the mindset of being of service to other people, you never really feel like you're working, and that is how I feel most of the time." Years later, this attitude led her to found Megababe, a line of personal hygiene products that address issues like chafing and sweating.<h2>Sturino had what she calls a 'blissfully normal childhood growing up in the Midwest' but always knew she would eventually move to New York City</h2>Growing up, Sturino knew she wanted to be a fashion editor and work at a magazine in New York. "I always cared about what I was wearing. I loved all of the 90s models, like Niki and Krissy Taylor, Linda Evangelista, Stephanie Seymour, Naomi Campbell," she told Insider.Sturino was born and raised in Wisconsin and stayed in state to go to the University of Wisconsin. She got her first internship at Chanel after flying herself out to New York and repeatedly emailing the person in charge. After interning there for two summers, Sturino got a job in Dolce &amp; Gabbana's public relations department right after graduating. But seeing models like Seymour, Campbell, and Evangelista in magazines was hard for Sturino. She didn't look like them, which she tried to change for years until she realized she didn't have to. "It took me a really long time to untrain myself from thinking that way, embrace myself, and empower others to do the same," she said. In 2005 she launched her own public relations firm, Tinder PR. She eventually left PR behind and launched her blog in 2015.<iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/919147744&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true"></iframe><a href="https://soundcloud.com/insideraudio" title="insideraudio" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">insideraudio</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/insideraudio/the-luminariesl-katie-sturino" title="The Luminaries: Katie Sturino" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">The Luminaries: Katie Sturino</a><h2>Sturino found it difficult to become the star of her own blog at first— but it helped her launch her next venture</h2>Going from being behind the scenes to being an influencer was initially hard for Sturino. "It was really hard for me to feel that people would even care what I was saying," she said. "Even taking a selfie or talking about what I was doing was so lame for me at the time. It was hard to get over that hump but I did because now I talk about everything. I'm very honest!" she said. Sturino later started two features, #MakeMySize and #SuperSizetheLook, on both her blog and Instagram. <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px); data.width~540;"><div style="padding:8px;"><div style="background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:62.4537037037% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"><div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"></div></div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CEsLsbDB0rI" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">#MakeMySize @revolve You guys asked for this one and you were right!

The latter series involves recreating a celebrity look on her frame. (Her favorite looks to draw inspiration from, she said, are Kate Middleton's.)<blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px); data.width~540;"><div style="padding:8px;"><div style="background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:62.4537037037% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"><div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"></div></div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CF8GkzKhPvi" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">#SuperSizeTheLook Royal Edition Leave it to Kate to give us an easy chic look to live in.

It helped inspire her to found Megababe in 2017. At the time, she was looking for a holy grail product that would solve thigh chafe and also had clean ingredients. Her hunt led her to create Thigh Rescue, an anti-chafe stick that has gone on to become a top-selling product for the brand.<div type="image" title="Thigh Rescue 2" height="2000" width="2000" msid="78942087" hostid="261"></div>The line has since expanded to <a href="https://megababebeauty.com/collections/all-products/products/rosy-pits">natural deodorants</a>, a <a href="https://megababebeauty.com/collections/all-products/products/le-tush-butt-mask">clarifying butt mask</a>, an <a href="https://megababebeauty.com/collections/all-products/products/bust-dust">anti boob-sweat powder</a>, and a <a href="https://megababebeauty.com/collections/all-products/products/happy-pits-underarm-mask">detoxifying underarm mask</a>. "Rather than being like, 'Here's this shameful problem that you think you're the only one who has it because you haven't heard about it on a beauty column,' let's change that narrative and invite everyone in and have fun with it," she said of the company's name. The biggest surprise so far, she said, is people who doubt the necessity of her products, partly because they didn't want to admit that chafing was a problem. She got negative feedback from manufacturers and even friends, she added."It took a long time for beauty editors to stop snickering at what I was talking about or even to get on board. It was such a difficult concept for people to grasp even though it's such a common thing," she said. <h2>Three years in, Sturino said people still don't get what she's selling with Megababe</h2><div type="image" title="Le Tush 2" height="2000" width="2000" msid="78942090" hostid="261"></div>Sturino said it blows her mind that people still want to put her products into a box and stamp the brand as niche. "Unless I'm misunderstanding the word niche, we're like the least niche thing you can be. People think I made a really specific type of product for only 100 people in the world, which is just not the case," she said. <div type="image" title="Squeaky Clean 2" height="2000" width="2000" msid="78942092" hostid="261"></div>Sturino told Insider the next product that Megababe plans to release will be in the antibacterial space, because the hand sanitizer it brought to market during the pandemic sold well. Given her busy life — she runs Megababe, 12ish Style, and partnerships with brands — it's easy to imagine how she might get overwhelmed. But she credits her team with letting her run wild with ideas while still reeling her in when necessary."I think that's what an entrepreneur is, because I'm someone that can't stop coming up with ideas and pursuing things," she said. "[It] can be trying for the people around me, but I just think we have so much to do."<ul class="read-more-links"><li></li><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/the-luminaries-25-people-accomplishing-extraordinary-goals-2020-10">The Luminaries: 25 women pushing boundaries and accomplishing extraordinary feats</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/luminaries-shades-of-shades-marsha-douglas-sydnor-2020-10">Marsha Douglas-Sydnor's sunglasses brand is transforming the eyewear industry with shades that match almost every skintone</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/luminaries-rea-ann-silva-beautyblender-makeup-voting-election-2020-10">How Beautyblender CEO Rea Ann Silva went from a TV makeup artist gig to creating the iconic bubblegum pink sponge</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/luminaries-jackie-aina-beauty-inclusive-2020-10">Jackie Aina has taken the beauty industry by storm.
