Yeah, I've never seen someone get taken out with a knee to the chest. Sonnen was a huge letdown in that fight after that much build up and trash talk. Props to Silva. Being one of the older fighters and still making everyone else look stupid is very impressive.

Rashad did something similar to Tito Ortiz in their last fight, a flush knee to the chest leaves you gasping for air.

Don't care what it was called officially, Silva kneed Sonnen in the face, and it was an illegal kick

I expect a third fight in a few years

He didn't.

Nothing but chest. Out of all of the things to criticize about the fight, that knee shouldn't be one of them.

The thigh might have clipped his mouth but by definition there is no illegal thigh kicks (or whatever you want to call it) defined in the unified rules of mma.

Also as a bonus, go back and watch the weigh in clip when Rogan interviews Sonnen. You'll notice Rogan lip syncs verbatim the exact words coming out of Sonnen's mouth. This fight was so choreographed in the hype department. Too funny.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.

      You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
