Well, Pride FC rules has the kneeing, etc. BUT it doesn't happen a huge amount of the time. A lot of the Pride FC I've seen, and I could be wrong, but a lot of standup fighting is involved. And the referees standup opponents much faster than they do in the UFC for zero activity. Pride seems to not care if you are moving around on the ground, you must either be trying for a lock or hitting the hell outta that person. Trying to gain position has no bearing, at least from the large amount of shows I've seen here in the states.

Fighters like Wanderlei Silva would probably dominate UFC fighters. I mean, I saw Liddell get knocked out by a #6 ranked fighter on a K-1 or Pride show once. He was slow compared to the other fighters. I think it'd be interesting to go to Pride rules if UFC went to London, be a wakeup call. It would be even more interesting to mix in Pride fighters.

I'd love to see Wanderlei vs. Tim Sylvia, and see the destruction of the UFC champion.

Aside from the stand-up game, they do knee a lot in PFC when they're on the ground in the side-mount position. I've seen several matches end where an opponent could not intelligently defend knees to the head in the side-mount.

It seems many people dislike Tim Sylvia, I am one of them. If Sylvia loses I hope Mirko Cro Cop still gets the chance to crush him :D

Tim will win easy, 1st or 2nd round via TKO or KO. As for "Cro Cop" I think Tim stands a much better chance than people are giving him credit for, it will at least be competitive. :shiftyninja:

What a PPV!!!

Matt Hughes needed a decision but it seemed he was in control for the fight...Rich Franklin got the job done suprised me seeing the size of McDonald and Couture!!! he just owns big time...first punch was a fricking knockdown of Silvia but credit to Tim he survived but the judges had it NEW WORLD CHAMPION!!! and Tim's eye looked stuffed up :|

I don't get all the Joe Rogan bashing? I mean he ain't that bad, and he knows a lot more than Goldberg does about the sport!

I think he is there for the enthusiasm factor of the commentating but I don't find him bad tho...

Woah... that's a big difference between fighters! Is there a "winning bonus"?

Matt Hughes ? $150,000 ($75,000 to show, $75,000 to win)

Don't forget the numbers don't show other bonuses (Fight of the night, Knockout of the night, Submission of the night, etc.) or the gate & PPV percentage that some top fighters get, nor personal sponsorships.

    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
