Fans outside of the U.S. and Korea that can't watch "M-1 Breakthrough" on HDNet's live broadcast will have another option.

M-1 Global today announced that the still-to-be-finalized event, which takes place Aug. 28 in Kansas City, Kan., will be available via online pay-per-view for viewers outside of thosecountries.

The event, which features the U.S. debut of Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal and a special sparring match between Red Devil fighters Fedor Emelianenko and Gegard Mousasi, can be purchased on M-1 Global's official website for $9.95.

While the preliminary card of "M-1 Breakthrough" has yet to be finalized, the event will be headlined by Lawal and former UFC great Mark Kerr. "The Smashing Machine" stepped in on short notice when previous main-event participant Don Frye withdrew, citing the card's change in venue from its original Los Angeles locale.

The card has been heavily criticized by the public, but HDNet Fights CEO Andrew Simon recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) that he was looking forward to the event ? especially the grappling contest between Emelianenko and Mousasi.

Simon said as entertaining as Emelianenko's April grappling match with Shinya Aoki was, he expects this sparring session to be even better.

"Mousasi and Fedor are a little bit closer in weight, and also they're just unbelievable fighters," Simon said. "I think they're going to put on something special given that this is M-1's first big show. In their mind, it's the breakthrough show."

The full card currently includes:

MAIN CARD

* Mark Kerr (15-10) vs. Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal (4-0)

* Karl Amoussou (10-2-1) vs. John Doyle (8-8)

* Fedor Emelianenko vs. Gegard Mousasi (exhibition sparring match)

* Rogent Lloret (7-1) vs. Alexey Oleinik (24-4) (swing bout)

* Lucio Linhares (12-4) vs. Mikhail Zayats (8-3)

* Rob Broughton (10-4-1) vs. Jessie Gibbs (7-2)

* Lloyd "Kadillac" Marshbanks (17-8) vs. Michael Kitta (5-3)

* Ferrid Kheder (13-4) vs. Daisuke Nakamura (19-10)

PRELIMINARY CARD (un-aired)

* Joe Wilk (5-2) vs. TBA

* Molly Ahlers-Estes (1-0) vs. Andrea Caplan (0-0)

Weak card , Mark Kerrs lost his last 9 fights, it wouldn't be a bad card if Fedor and Mousasi were fighting, it would be worth it just to see them 2, so why put them in an exhibition match so they can prance around the ring pretending to fight :dontgetit:

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
