Khabib Nurmagomedov thought about retiring in 2014 only for his father to convince him otherwise. Khabib’s comments were made after he recalled his injury after beating Rafael dos Anjos. Nurmagomedov broke his leg, keeping him out from action from 2014-16. During this period, Khabib was not the UFC Lightweight Champion. He questioned his ability to bounce back from the injury. However, his father left the decision to Khabib, stating he would find a champion with or without him. That motivated Khabib to continue.

Louisiana State

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
