I haven't got round to watching it but I am reading bad things on mmajunkie and on here so I think I might give it a miss.

it wasn't bad, a couple of the fights where good. The championship one was good until the stoppage, carano is pretty good and i like kimbo (but i don't think he would survive in the UFC). Its not up there with UFC and what not, but it wasn't bad.

ok so here's the deal... Elite XC is so very obviously rigged.

I'm extremely glad not to be the only one. Its almost like they were much too worried about excessive violence on prime time. The network failed and Kimbo will lose to ANYONE in the top ten. So glad I called the Villasenor fight. Couldn't stand the guy at first but the more I watch, he is pretty well rounded. Thought he would win by submission but I'll take that TKO.

Some fighter Gina Carano is... She's failed to make weight for her last 3 fights!

Carano defeated former Hook n Shoot champion Kaitlin Young on EliteXC: Primetime on May 31, 2008.[6] On May 30, 2008, a day before the fight, it was announced that Carano failed to make weight for her fight (140), after weighing in at 144.5 lb. She agreed to take a 12.5% "show" purse deduction which will go to Young, and the fight remained on the card.

Despite most MMA organizations setting weight classes at 135 (Bantamweight (MMA)) and 145 (Featherweight (MMA)) pounds, EliteXC opted to create a women's weight class at 140 pounds. Many people have speculated this weight class was "designed and created especially for her by Elite XC with the hopes that her size and lack of formidable/veteran opponents with the intent on building the reputation of Carano as the face of women's mixed martial arts.

Regardless, Carano has failed to make weight for her past 3 fights at EliteXC: Primetime, EliteXC: Uprising and EliteXC Destiny.

It's already been discussed Zoom.. but thanks for dropping by days later to tell us the same thing again. We already know about the weight issue.. but you can't deny that she has some incredible talent, she destroyed Young who was supposed to be her biggest challenger.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
