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.

    • Cuktech 10 Ultra charger review: big display, four ports, 110W total power

      By 31067 · Posted

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
