Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira will meet in a tantalising UFC main event this weekend, as they clash for the vacant light-heavyweight title. The original headline bout at Madison Square Garden pitted heavyweight champion Jon Jones against Stipe Miocic, but an injury to Jones has led the initial co-main event to be elevated. The bout will see former champion Prochazka, who vacated the light-heavyweight belt due to injury last year, face ex-middleweight champ Pereira in an intriguing match-up of striking specialists. In the new co-main event of UFC 295, Britain’s Tom Aspinall and Russia’s Sergei Pavlovich will fight for the interim heavyweight title, with the winner in line to challenge Jones in 2024 – possibly leaving former champion Miocic out in the cold.

Max Verstappen has criticised the “99% show, 1% sporting event” nature of this weekend’s inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix and lambasted Wednesday’s opening ceremony. F1 is returning to Vegas for the first time in more than 40 years with a new street circuit, with F1 themselves promoting the event and building a new pit building to the tune of $500m. But three-time world champion Verstappen, who was among the 20 drivers dramatically introduced to the crowd during Wednesday’s lavish opening ceremony via a lift onto a string of podiums, did not pull any punches about the spectacle of the event in Sin City. “I don’t like all the things around it,” said the Red Bull driver. “I’m looking forward to trying to do the best I can but I’m not looking forward to this. “For me you can skip these kind of things. It’s just standing up there, you look like a clown. “I fully understand and you can look at it two ways, business side or sport side. So, of course, I understand their side of it. “I’m just voicing my opinion on the performance side of things.” Wednesday’s opening ceremony started with spectacular drone sequences, preceding a number of performances from artists such as Kylie Minogue, John Legend and Tiesto. All 20 drivers then briefly appeared to rapturous applause from the crowd in the grandstands.

As your wedding approaches, you're likely dealing with a lot of stress. So when the worrying about wedding guests, rain plans, seating charts, and the perfect reception gown finally comes to an end, there's no better way to release your anxieties than with honeymoon sex. FYI, we fully recognize you have your whole life to have really good sex, but your honeymoon is a great time to try out new sensations, positions, or kinks. After all, this is the one week of your life where sex is not only expected, but it's encouraged to be as frequent, fun, and adventurous as possible. On the flip side, for many couples, the idea of a sex-focused trip can be just another source of pressure, and performance anxiety can rear its frustrating head at the worst time. Our one-stop fix for every possible feeling? Honeymoon sex toys.
