TUF 16 Finale: Roy Nelson vs. Matt Mitrione will headline

Meathead is getting back in the cage. Nelson will certainly put a beating on him or just submit him in the 1st.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say meathead will be the first to put Nelson down in the ufc.

He stood toe to toe with Junior dos Santos for 3 rounds. I don't think Mitrione has the power or skill to outclass JDS on the feet and KO Roy.

I'm running on the notion that the accumulative affect of receiving so many headshots in ones career eventually leads to getting KO'd. Its a gamble with Matt but one day Nelson will no longer sustain those shots.

UFC 157 is going to be headlined by Rousey vs Carmouche. The first WMMA fight in the UFC headlines a PPV. That's massive. The choice of opponent is pretty weak, nobody knew who Carmouche was when she fought Marloes Coenen and that situation still stands. They really should've brought in Marloes Coenen to fight Rousey. Other reasonable choices would be Alexis Davis, Shayna Baszler, Sarah McMann, Cat Zingano or Amanda Nunes, but they all suffer from the same problem as Carmouche: almost nobody has ever heard of them. Coenen's name still holds some value. Still, this is only a practice fight for Rousey vs Cyborg on a brazilian PPV card.

^^ Carmouche got the fight because she was the only one actively pushing for it in Social Media, and got what she asked for, the rest of the ladies just stood by while Carmouche talked her way into a historical fight for the UFC, but yrs she's s till a few fights from being a title contender, but she does have potential down the road

Contrasting with an absolutely terrible season, the TUF 16 Finale was AWESOME. Great fights, tons of finishes and free. What's not to like?

The UFC on FX 6 card (the TUF Australia vs UK finals), not so much. The TUF guys sucked badly, Pearson did his thing and Lombard got a gift win because Paul Harris was too dumb to take him down and fought a flat footed stand up battle. Put Lombard against Mu?oz and watch him squirm.

MMA fighter & TNA Wrestling star King Mo was victorious in his first Bellator MMA fight on Thursday night on Spike TV, which aired after Impact. In the quarter finals of the Bellator Light Heavyweight tournament, Mo defeated Przemyslaw Mysiala via knockout in 3:52 of the first round.

Mo looked rusty early on after being out of the cage for a full year, but found his rhythm and delivered a one-punch knockout Mysiala to advance in the tournament.

During the post-fight interview, Mo said he didn't have much of a strategy going in and he just wanted to knock the guy out.

Mo will fight Emmanuel Newton next in the semi-finals on February 21st from Salt Lake City, Utah.

Rampage sounds like he's kinda done

He was already done a while ago. But this fight sealed the deal. He looked like crap and he completely checked out in the 3rd round. Still, Bellator will probably send an offer his way to fight King Mo after he steamrolls the LHW tournament.

Pettis looked like a straight up beast. UFC 156 is coming up this weekend. I'll get the info ready.

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
