I see Brock winning this one easily. Simply by pure power! Florian vs Huerta is a very exciting prospect and is so damn hard to call! I hope Florian wins, but I can see Huerta just edging it on points.

On the subject of main event, I'm surprised I thought they'd give that to Brock. Hey, maybe we can have Chuck vs Shogun finally? :p

Yeah its certainly Brocks on power alone but we all know what happened in the first fight where power was the key and Mir still survived.

Coleman will get beat.. obviously. This card is set up to do entirely that... they put brock up against someone who "had" credibility.. yet is past his prime and could easily be beaten to boost Brock up the rankings.. because if you remember from the Mir fight, even though brock lost, he made like $350k for a very short fight. They brought him in the UFC to be a superstar and unless he has some wins under his belt and moves up to face some big competitors and gets a fanbase in the future they've wasted their money. And if you know anything about the UFC, they don't like to waste money.

They are setting brock up to pretty much kill Coleman and get some credibility.

Coleman is out!

UFC 87 gets Title Fight; Coleman Injured

By Thomas Gerbasi

The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s initial trip to Minnesota on August 9th just got bigger with today’s signing of the UFC Welterweight Title bout between Champion Georges St-Pierre and number one contender Jon Fitch, which will headline the UFC 87 card at Target Center.

It will be St-Pierre’s first bout since he regained his crown from Matt Serra at UFC 83 on April 19th. In Fitch, he will be facing a former Division I wrestler who has won eight consecutive UFC bouts without a loss, the longest streak in modern-day UFC history.

“He’s a very, very tough guy,” said St-Pierre of Fitch. “I’m gonna have to train hard and be very well prepared because he may be my toughest fight yet.”

“The whole goal is to get the belt and be in the position where guys can’t duck me, run away, or say they don’t want to fight me,” said Fitch. “If I have the belt, there’s no excuse, and if you say you’re the best, then we’re gonna fight. This is gonna be a tough fight, but I’m gonna make sure I’m sharp that night, and wherever the fight needs to go, that’s fine with me.”

In other action on the UFC 87 card, heavyweight sensation Brock Lesnar returns home for a pivotal bout in his rise up the UFC ranks. Lesnar was originally scheduled to face UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman on August 9th, but a knee injury has forced ‘The Hammer’ to withdraw from the show. Lesnar’s opponent will be announced shortly.

Lightweight contenders Kenny Florian and Roger Huerta will also throw down in a highly anticipated bout that may determine a future challenger for the 155-pound crown.

Who will they throw at Lesnar now? The fans choice seems to be Gonzaga! :D

gonzaga would never happen... brock would get his ass handed to him.

That's what I was thinking too. I agree that the UFC probably wanna get some wins under his belt. The most likely choices being discussed on other MMA Forums seems to be Eddie Sanchez, Heath Herring or Cheik Kongo.

If Tim Sylvia was still in the UFC, I'd love to see Brock own him, but hey, Fedor is a good enough substitute! :p

The UFC doesn't like to waste money? Does *anyone*??

Congo would be a good selection.

Since people are missing Chucky and Shogun here's what I propose to keep in theme with Lesnar. A match that lasts about 60 minutes, every minute someone enters the octagon. You can only leave the octagon if you tap out, get knocked out or you're thrown out.

So we can have: Lesnar + Herring and 1/2 the UFC roster all in the same match for at least 60 minutes. Could throw in Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior for all I care.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing Microsoft Edge on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
