Quinton ?Rampage? Jackson and Forrest Griffin will officially coach the seventh season of ?The Ultimate Fighter? reality show and will face off sometime in 2008 with the UFC?s light heavyweight championship title on the line, according to UFC president Dana White.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) previously reported that Jackson and Griffin would be named the coaches for the series (see: ?Rampage and Griffin Are TUF 7 Coaches??), however official confirmation wasn?t in place until formal announcements were made by Dana White over the weekend.

White announced Griffin as a coach during Saturday?s Ultimate Fighter finale, but made the official announcement of Jackson as the second coach ? and the critical confirmation that the two would be facing each other in 2008 for the 205-pound title ? during the broadcast of Spike TV?s ?2007 Video Game Awards? on Sunday night.

Griffin?s status as #1 contender for the 205-pound title was apparently secured with his recent victory over the fighter who had last defeated Jackson. After dropping two of three fights (to Tito Ortiz and Keith Jardine), Griffin rebounded with a unanimous decision victory over Hector Ramirez at UFC 72 and a shocking upset of PRIDE standout Mauricio ?Shogun? Rua in September at UFC 76. Rua had handed Jackson his most recent loss, at PRIDE Total Elimination in April 2005.

?The Ultimate Fighter 7,? the seventh installment of the UFC?s popular reality series that debuted in January 2005, begins taping in January. The season debut is set for April and should conclude in July. With the added delay of the reality series, it will be a minimum of 10 months between title defenses for Jackson, who hasn?t fought since defending his title against Dan Henderson in September 2007 at UFC 75.

Griffin vs Rampage would be an awesome fight.

I can honestly see Forrest Griffin giving Rampage a decent challenge in the Octagon. However, I get the feeling that he isn't quite mentally ready for a title fight. Kinda like how GSP was the 1st time he met Matt Hughes. I dunno if it was just the modesty, but even after the Shogun victory, he seemed kind of shocked that he managed it himself. Albiet Shogun was simply awful in that fight.

I'd like to see him in a "revenge" bout against Keith Jardine just to put that devestating KO to rest. Then he will be ready.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
