lol @ Rappy! I was just getting in to the posting mood!

I think Mir can very well beat him again. He showed in the first fight just how many shots he can take and I think he will be ready for him again, if not more this time. Definately wanna see him back on top of the HW division.

It'll be interesting to see if Matt Hughes can bounce back from his recent losses. Either way, can't see either of them challenging GSP for the belt on his current form.

Brock vs Mir not happening!

After the theatrics and confusion in the days leading up to UFC 96 in Columbus, it was announced Saturday that UFC interim heavyweight champion Frank Mir's rematch against UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar was pushed back from UFC 98 on May 23 to UFC 100 on July 11.

Mir confirmed the fight during Saturday's UFC 96 pay-per-view broadcast.

In a post-UFC 96 press conference, UFC President Dana White confirmed those tentative plans but said nothing is definite.

In the 24 hours prior to UFC 96, the status of the Mir vs. Lesnar bout remained in a state of flux following conflicting reports of a possible surgery undergone by Mir and a reported fight cancellation.

Saturday night the MMA world learned that Mir did indeed have knee surgery last Thursday, knocking him out of UFC 98.

While Mir announced the fight would take place at UFC 100, White was noncommittal when asked about the date.

"Off the top of my head, I don't know, but it'll be the summer," White said.

Instead we get Jackson (or Machida) vs Evans

Rashad Evans now moves into the headliner role for the event. He's likely to face Quinton Jackson, who scored a unanimous-decision win over Keith Jardine in the main event of UFC 96. But White stressed the bout is not official and could instead feature Evans vs. undefeated Lyoto Machida.

"We still have to make sure Quinton is 100 percent," said White, who noted that the fight would be Jackson's third in just a five-month span . "It's not a done deal. Quinton has to go get something checked out, make sure he's 100 percent healthy. If he is, that'll be the fight. If not, it'll be Lyoto Machida (vs. Evans)."

I really wanted to see Evans face off against Rampage but Machida is nonetheless deserving of a title shot! I don't think Evans is anywhere near his skill and I see Machida taking this!

Houston Alexander on the preliminary... after such an explosive start... to this! :p

I don't know, Evans commenting on Rampage was point on, he knew what rampage was GOING to do, I mean it just says that Rashad is intelligent and will have a great plan against Machida, look what happened to Chuck, nobody though evans will do that, either way, 50% 50%, its going to be great fight.

Lyoto Machida is one of the most elusive fighters I have ever seen. If you saw his fight with Tito Ortiz, Machida humiliated him. The only thing that was missing was a TKO or a tapout.

I don't see Evans planning for this fight. Machida will change his game plan too often in the fight and I will be just too content seeing Evans streak go down. Better his than Machida's.

Evans didn't really do anything against Chuck though. You can go through the archives of the UFC and find hundreds of KO's that were the same thing; lucky timing for a shot on the button. If the good Machida shows up, Evans is in deep huge trouble. Machida has arguably the most unorthodox fighting style in all of MMA, and will confuse Evans to the point where he just regresses to the ghetto thug he really is. The only thing I wonder, is in what way is Evans going to act like a classless POS like he has in the rest of this fights.

    • 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.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
