Typical KO finisher Brunno Ferreira taps Jackson McVey\u00a0with armbar\u00a0at UFC 318
For all the UFC middleweights who thought they just had to worry about Brunno Ferreira in the standup game, the Brazilian may have made their prep work a little more difficult. Ferreira (14-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) submitted short-notice replacement UFC newcomer Jackson McVey (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at the 3:35 mark of the first round Saturday at UFC 318 at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. After seven straight wins by knockout, Ferreira has back-to-back win by armbar. After he tapped Armen Petrosyan in March at 313, he was set to fight Ikram Aliskerov until McVey stepped in as a replacement. Midway through the first round, McVey got too high on Ferreira's back and once the fight spilled to the canvas, Ferreira went straight toward his opponent's neck. But rather than working at a choke, he grabbed McVey's arm and went to work. Check out Ferreira's slick ending below. Ferreira has won four of five and kept his perfect finish streak intact. McVey suffered the first loss of his pro career. Up-to-the-minute UFC 318 results:

KKR Releases 2025 Mid-Year Global Macro Outlook
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KKR, a leading global investment firm, today released its 2025 Mid-Year Global Macro Outlook by Henry McVey, CIO of KKR's Balance Sheet and Head of Global Macro and Asset Allocation (GMAA). In 'Make Your Own Luck,' McVey and his team explain why, despite the turbulent start to 2025 and additional expected market drawdowns, they remain positive in their outlook. They note their strong belief that attractive financial conditions, a global easing cycle, ongoing productivity gains, and lack of net issuance—coupled with compelling, powerful investment themes—will drive this cycle both further and longer than many think. And, while they acknowledge that the low rate, low volatility beta trade that defined 2015-2021 is now over, they advocate that investors stay the course by leveraging the team's long-standing Regime Change framework and investing behind priority macro trends. Against this backdrop, the team suggests investors 'make their own luck' by tilting towards assets that rely on collateral-based cash flows, can adjust to rising input costs, and/or enhance operational improvement—like control positions with operational upside in Private Equity, senior slices of Credit amid wide dispersions, or Real Assets with long-dated, inflation-linked contracts that can reprice alongside rising nominal GDP. The report also examines what has remained constant and what has shifted in the team's thinking since their 2025 Outlook published last December. Consistent with prior thinking, the team believes we continue to see a stellar technical backdrop, capital markets responding favorably to a global easing cycle, and sustained positive earnings momentum despite tariff-induced uncertainty. McVey and his team also share updated asset allocation picks and pans, refreshed expected return forecasts, and new model portfolios they believe are well-positioned to outperform in the continued Regime Change environment. They make several out-of-consensus calls, which include their beliefs that: The technical picture remains much better than investors think—net issuance of IPOs, levered loans, and high yield remain at levels not seen since 2009. We are in a productivity cycle similar to the 1990s, which will drive markets longer and higher than consensus. Lower taxes, higher margins, and higher quality earnings all suggest U.S. markets are reasonably valued vs. overvalued. Europe will perform better for longer, amid a stronger euro, more defense and infrastructure spending, continued interest in renewables, deeper capital markets, and less onerous cross-border restrictions. The oil market will move into larger surpluses over the next six to 12 months, driving WTI oil prices back down to $60 per barrel on average in the second half of 2025 and 2026. The unemployment rate will stay lower for longer relative to prior cycles, even against a modest payroll backdrop with gains increasingly concentrated in just a few sectors. Private Equity will remain a top-performing asset class as it continues to benefit from dispersion and control, allowing investors to lean into operational improvement and accretive M&A activity. There is increased opportunity for private investment in Infrastructure due to government retrenchment amid fiscal constraints, energy transition needs, and geopolitical competition. In addition, the report details the GMAA team's updated views on global economic forecasts, inflation, interest rates, currencies, and capital markets. The report also addresses key investor queries on topics such as how Europe can improve its competitive positioning, the team's outlook for expected returns, and their latest thinking on relative value in Credit and the potential direction of individual retirement accounts (401(k), annuities, etc.).
