UFC superstar Conor McGregor trash-talked his way into one of the biggest boxing matchups in sports history—and that was after he’d become UFC’s first fighter to claim simultaneous championships in two weight classes. Now, the MMA fighter is getting his own feature-length documentary. The upcoming film Notorious will follow McGregor’s rise from an amatuer fighter to a worldwide sensation. McGregor’s August 2017 fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. earned him the biggest payday of his career, but long before that he was scratching and clawing his way up the UFC ladder, winning fights with brutal knockouts and fierce takedowns....

It’s Daniel Craig’s fifth go as Bond. He tells Men’s Journal why the latest (No Time to Die) is as tough as the first (Casino Royale), as well as the diet, training, and recovery principles he follows to transform into a bona fide superspy. — As told to Charles Thorp Men’s Journal: Over the years, a lot of your roles have required physical prowess.

The Angel This thriller recounts the true story of Ashraf Marwan, the son-in-law of former Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and a close confidant of his successor, Anwar Sadat.

Technology has taken over our lives. Just the very fact that you are reading this means you are on some sort of electrical device, be it a phone or tablet or computer. Tech is great in many ways, making our lives easier on so many levels. But there are downsides. And one of them is that the blue light that these devices use can put undue strain on our eyes. But you don’t have to worry about that anymore with a pair of Nash Frames from Felix Gray....

New Year, New You. That’s the motto of a lot of folks who have made a certain resolution. Try to lose weight and stay in shape. One of the easiest ways to do that is to go out for a run.

Want to crush it at work? Eat big salads at lunch. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found that men who ate the most vegetables—six servings a day—were 34 percent less likely to develop impaired cognitive function than those who ate the least (two servings).

It’s sometimes overlooked just how much physical endurance is necessary for pro athletes to get to where they’re at. Such can often be the case for surfers, who make their craft of riding waves look so seamless, effortless and, well, like an art form. But arguably, surfers are some of the hardest working athletes out there. And pro surfer Michael Dunphy can certainly attest to that. The Quiksilver team rider has been putting in the work, competing against some of the best in the world for a shot at qualifying for the WSL Championship Tour (CT)....

I’ve told quite a few people that one of the best purchases I’ve made for kayak fishing was a Lowrance map/fishfinder unit and satellite imagery map card. Having the map on and at arms length all day long lets me make way better decisions on the water, as I figure out the pattern for the fish and look for areas that look similar to where I’m having success. It’s also very handy to see old tracks laid over your current track, so you can confirm that you are indeed in that one spot that was so awesome that one time with similar conditions....

Think you’re disorganized? For years I had no calendar, no to-do lists, no system for taking notes. Chaos reigned. Everything lived—or died—in my head. I’d flake on birthdays, flub errands, and wake up at night, panicked, remembering something I had due the next day. Plus, “keeping it all in my head” burned valuable mental energy, which could have been harnessed to actually get things done. Enough, I thought recently. I’m a grown-ass man—I need to get my life in order....

“Hydrogen water” might sound like another overpriced wellness product backed by New Age pseudoscience, but the health benefits of hydrogen have been well-documented. Since the potential antioxidative qualities of molecular hydrogen (two bonded hydrogen molecules, or H2) were discovered in 2007, scientists have begun to explore its benefits—and there are many. An Antioxidant Superstar One 2017 review by the Taishan Medical University (TMU) in China highlighted molecular hydrogen’s most promising application as a powerful antioxidant....

A little known fact about Oakley, whose sunglasses are ubiquitous among both suburban dada and world-class athletes across a wide range of sports, is that they got their start selling motorcycle grips in 1975 and first rose to prominence when it added BMX grips, goggles, and other safety gear. The company announced recently that they’d be making another big splash in the bike world, with a new line of helmets and apparel....

Like many safety innovations, RECCO‘s integrated electronic location system was developed after a tragedy. In 1973, Magnus Granhed witnessed the aftermath of an avalanche where rescuers were hopeless to locate buried subjects, resulting in two fatalities. One was a friend of Granhed’s. The accident set Granhed on a path to find an inexpensive solution. He consulted with the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology, realizing that the best location method would be harmonic radar....

Pasta can absolutely be part of a fat-fighting meal, especially when it’s made with whole wheat.

Don’t worry, this dish only looks fancy; we promise prep time will take you no longer than three football game commercial breaks. And while sunchokes may elicit a touch of exotic hesitation, if you steer clear of this knobby root vegetable—also known as the Jerusalem artichoke or earth apple—you’re missing out. “Though not a very popular root vegetable, they are so full of flavor and nice, earthy tones. You can pair them perfectly with a fatty fish, like salmon or trout,” says Fernando Darin, executive chef of Ray’s and Stark Bar in Los Angeles, California, who created the simple recipe below....

The biggest compliment I can give a training shoe is that I forget all about them—they’re unnoticeable and never detract from a workout, but instead provide ample yet imperceptible improvements that boost my efforts. Too often cross-training, CrossFit, and lifting shoes feel like a block of plywood underfoot, providing little in the way of flexibility and a lot in the way of discomfort. But Reebok just released the CrossFit Nano 9, the newest member of the lineup, and it’s undoubtedly the most comfortable update....

Standup paddling is all fun and games, until it’s not. The water–whether ocean, river, lake or pond–can be a dangerous place and always deserves respect. That’s why SUP magazine has partnered with the U.S. Coast Guard to bring you “Safe SUP Choices,” an ongoing series of safe-paddling reminders. Of course, we need your full attention and dull safety tutorials don’t always do the trick. Instead, we’ve had a bit of fun with making some very important points....
