Yeah, if Babalu hadn't messed up the finish like he did then that would have been a superb return to form for him. Even with the finish it was still a devestating beating!

Maybe he'll fix up his head for his next fight!

"Update: Stevenson thought he broke his jaw, but it turns out it was badly bruised. He did, however, sustain a broken nose in the first round of the fight. He has been suspended for three months by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), but can return sooner if he recieves medical clearanace."

Looks Like thats it for Sobral...

As UFCjunkie.com (www.ufcjunkie.com) reported in an earlier UFC 75 conference call recap, Renato ?Babalu? Sobral has been dropped from the UFC following his actions at this past Saturday?s UFC 74 event.

UFC President Dana White confirmed that the fighter has been cut from his contract after initially refusing to break a chokehold on opponent David Heath and then admitting it during a post-fight interview. Sobral told the sold-out crowd in the Mandalay Bay Events Center that he wanted to ?teach (Heath) a lesson? for disrespecting him during the previous day?s weigh-ins.

After dominating much of the fight ? and opening a gash along the fighter?s forehead ? Sobral secured a fight-ending anaconda choke in the second round. However, after Heath tapped, Sobral refused to break the hold, even as referee Steve Mazzagatti tugged on his arm.

At least three to four seconds ticked by before Sobral broke the hold. By then, Heath had gone unconscious.

Half of Sobral?s $50,000 payday has been withheld by the Nevada State Athletic Commission pending a review by executive director Keith Kizer. He recently stated that a suspension could also be in order.

While White said that Sobral is now gone from the organization, he didn?t rule out the possibility of the light heavyweight returning some day.

?I never say never,? White said.

Before this past weekend?s undercard fight, Sobral lost to Jason Lambert at UFC 68 in one of the night?s biggest upsets. Prior to that, he lost to then-UFC light heavyweight Chuck Liddell in UFC 62?s main event one year ago. That loss ended Sobral?s 10-fight winning streak, which began after a previous loss to Liddell at UFC 40.

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

      By dirtyvu · Posted

      I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.

      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.
