If the New York Mets need to add some punch in the lineup, maybe they can find out if Matt Frevola is available. ![]() ![]() The fight was rushed onto the card after problems with the original co-main event between Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush pushed the fight to next month. The Brazilian already won a fight at UFC 283 in January and he retired Jorge Masvidal in a win at UFC 287 on April 8. It’s no surprise Burns (22-6) ended the bout in rough physical shape. The win stamped Muhammad - who took the fight on just over two-weeks’ notice and extended his winning streak to five and his unbeaten streak to 10 straight fights - as a top contender for a title shot against Leon Edwards. Muhammad was booed when he was announced as the 50-45, 49-46, 49-46 winner and then told the crowd, “New Jersey, you suck.” ![]()

Rand also has a theory of knowledge, or epistemology, which she understands primarily in terms of reason, which takes sensory experience and organizes it according to its conceptual structure. In both these aspects she follows Aristotle, who she considered history's greatest philosopher. Further, she believes that the oft-discussed dichotomy between body and soul is false, arguing instead that the human being is a compound of form and matter. On Rand's view, the universe is mind-independent: it does not rely on consciousness for its existence. She believes that the world exists and that there are objective, true or false claims that can be made about it. ![]() Rand understands her primary metaphysical view as one of metaphysical realism. It is particularly in the last book that she makes her philosophical commitments clear. Rand published her two most famous books, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged in 19 respectively. Rand has become famous from her novel sales but particularly due to the ideas that she placed at the core, ideas she tied together in a system she called Objectivism. She was widely seen as an important social philosopher. Originally, Russian, she not only wrote novels, but plays and movies as well.
