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.

    • Zen Browser 1.20.2b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.20.2b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders.

      "This transition will take several years so we shouldn't bother doing it at all" is a naive take. This is completely normal for all specifications that cross-cut software, hardware and multiple industries. Look at the PCI specification for another example, consumers barely have PCI-E 5 yet PCI-SIG is working on PCI-E 8. AV2 will take multiple years to get adoption and even then, even a decade from now people will still have older hardware that doesn't support it. That's fine, because the savings still add up as newer devices add the hardware to deal with it. The goal is never to get 100% on the new spec overnight, but to gradually adopt it.
