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.

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.

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

      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.
