Another month, another UFC PPV. This time it's UFC 61: Bitter Rivals!

Here's the proposed card:

(Subject to Change)

Tim Sylvia Vs. Andrei Arlovski

Tito Ortiz Vs. Ken Shamrock

Dan Christison Vs. Frank Mir

Josh Burkman Vs. Josh Neer

Yves Edwards Vs. Joe Stevenson

Drew Fickett Vs. Kurt Pellegrino (TBC)

Jeff Monson Vs. Anthony Perosh (TBC)

Gilbert Aldana Vs. Cheick Kongo (TBC)

Hermes Franca Vs. To be announced (TBC)

Tim Sylvia Vs. Andrei Arlovski is just too hard to call! The last 2 fights have been close, the first ended in victory for Arlovski in just 27 seconds or so after Sylvia got an unfortunate trip! The 2nd bout looked to be Arlovski's after he got the blow on Sylvia's chin but somehow he countered and made for a very surprising finish! To tell the truth it seemed as though Arlovski was getting too big for his boots after so many victories and maybe that defeat was the kick in the backside that he needed!

As for Tito Ortiz Vs. Ken Shamrock, I dunno why Shamrock even bothers! Tito kicked the crap out of him the last time and he's just asking for more trouble! Randy Couture retired and even he stands more of a chance of beating Tito! Shamrock was a good fighter in his time, but I think this will be his final fight before he hangs up the gloves!

It'll be nice to see Frank Mir work up the ranks of the Heavyweight division again. Maybe he came back too early from his injury in his last fight, but he's got a tough task in the Octogon with "The Sandman"

I'm really looking forward to this. Id say:

Tim Sylvia def. Andrei Arlovski and Tito Ortiz def. Ken Shamrock

I really didnt like Ken's coaching in TUF3, It just seemed really "Meh do what you want to do, and ill take all the credit if you win" style where Ortiz was really into the whole training scene. And that showed up in the results.

Not finished yet here in UK so put it in spoilers...

LOL well ken was well worth watching...he lasted all of 1 minute 30 but I feel another fight coming on and I read somewhere Dana White might put next one on free after fans shouted BullS***

It only lasted 1:30. Tito takes Ken down with a wicked double leg slam. Ken gets put on his back, and they end up by the fence. Ortiz then lands a wicked right elbow and Ken gets visably (at least to me) rocked. Tito then rains down right elbows. After 5 clean, hard, and more importantly, uncontested elbows to the face, Herb Dean stops the match. Ken jumps up all ticked of, but Herb did the right thing by stopping the match. Ken was not intelligently defending himself at all.

The entire match at YouTube. See just how much Ken got "pwnt"

All in all UFC 61 sucked. The very first match was the "best" if only because of the blood. Shamrock was embarassed, and the Sylvia match was boring.

The very first fight of the PPV was so bloody and amazing. I was hoping it'd set the tone for the rest of the night, but the excitement waned after that. The Shamrock/Ortiz fight was kind of disappointing. And the Sylvia fight wasn't all that awesome either. Whatever though, it was a good excuse to sit around and drink with the guys.

Well, as most people guessed correctly, Tito destroyed Shamrock. I was surprised at the quick call, at first. But you can't blame Herb Dean. Tito could have killed Shamrock if he kept at it with those elbow blows right to the temple!

Arlovski/Sylvia was just plain dire! Bring on Chuck/Babalu - Chuch is so a dead man!

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
