Fans outside of the U.S. and Korea that can't watch "M-1 Breakthrough" on HDNet's live broadcast will have another option.

M-1 Global today announced that the still-to-be-finalized event, which takes place Aug. 28 in Kansas City, Kan., will be available via online pay-per-view for viewers outside of thosecountries.

The event, which features the U.S. debut of Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal and a special sparring match between Red Devil fighters Fedor Emelianenko and Gegard Mousasi, can be purchased on M-1 Global's official website for $9.95.

While the preliminary card of "M-1 Breakthrough" has yet to be finalized, the event will be headlined by Lawal and former UFC great Mark Kerr. "The Smashing Machine" stepped in on short notice when previous main-event participant Don Frye withdrew, citing the card's change in venue from its original Los Angeles locale.

The card has been heavily criticized by the public, but HDNet Fights CEO Andrew Simon recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) that he was looking forward to the event ? especially the grappling contest between Emelianenko and Mousasi.

Simon said as entertaining as Emelianenko's April grappling match with Shinya Aoki was, he expects this sparring session to be even better.

"Mousasi and Fedor are a little bit closer in weight, and also they're just unbelievable fighters," Simon said. "I think they're going to put on something special given that this is M-1's first big show. In their mind, it's the breakthrough show."

The full card currently includes:

MAIN CARD

* Mark Kerr (15-10) vs. Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal (4-0)

* Karl Amoussou (10-2-1) vs. John Doyle (8-8)

* Fedor Emelianenko vs. Gegard Mousasi (exhibition sparring match)

* Rogent Lloret (7-1) vs. Alexey Oleinik (24-4) (swing bout)

* Lucio Linhares (12-4) vs. Mikhail Zayats (8-3)

* Rob Broughton (10-4-1) vs. Jessie Gibbs (7-2)

* Lloyd "Kadillac" Marshbanks (17-8) vs. Michael Kitta (5-3)

* Ferrid Kheder (13-4) vs. Daisuke Nakamura (19-10)

PRELIMINARY CARD (un-aired)

* Joe Wilk (5-2) vs. TBA

* Molly Ahlers-Estes (1-0) vs. Andrea Caplan (0-0)

Weak card , Mark Kerrs lost his last 9 fights, it wouldn't be a bad card if Fedor and Mousasi were fighting, it would be worth it just to see them 2, so why put them in an exhibition match so they can prance around the ring pretending to fight :dontgetit:

    • Oooh so that’s why. I was about to say there’s zero financial incentive to stop releasing songs for an EXISTING platform, but now I understand. Pathetic. I was planning on buying this game for VR2, but I guess I’ll just stick with Synth Riders then.
    • WD SSDs still block Windows 11 24H2 download and installs, Microsoft may be guilty too by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been slowly lifting several upgrade blocks for Windows 11 version 24H2, the 2024 feature update for Windows 11. For example, the most recent one was related to browser compatibility, and it was removed last month. This safeguard hold was lifted about a week after the company released the update such that it was available for download to everyone. However, there are still plenty of other compatibility blocks that are still in place. These include ones for Dirac Audio, sprotect SYS driver conflict, among others. Meanwhile, it looks like there is also an upgrade block on certain Western Digital SSDs that prevents them from getting the feature update. While Microsoft, or at least Windows 11, seems to be blocking the upgrade, the issue is not documented on the tech giant's health dashboard website alongside the other entries. The typical "What needs your attention" message box pops up indicating that the WD NMVe SSD in the user's system is the issue. It says: Thus, Windows thinks the WD drive in question is not compatible with the Windows 11 2024 update. As it turns out, the problem, one related to Host Memory Buffer (HMB), has seemingly already been fixed back in October 2024 with a new firmware update. However, Windows does not seem to deliver the correct link to download the update, which means users may still be unable to download Windows 11 24H2 on their PCs. A Reddit user found out that they were able to bypass the block by manually downloading the firmware from the SanDisk official support page for the corresponding drive model. They write: Thus, in case you happen to own such a disk, make sure to head over to the SanDisk Dashboard website here. It provides support for the following models: WD Green, Blue, Red, WD_BLACK, SanDisk SSD PLUS M.2, Extreme M.2, Extreme Pro M.2, Ultra 3D. You can find the instructions for updating firmware at this link. Source: Microsoft forum (link1, link2), Reddit
    • If LibreOffice wants to be taken seriously, they need to hire some UX designers. The UI is horrible, inconsistent and looks like what it is - a clone of Microsoft Office 2000. Look at what MuseScore has achieved with version 4 or the upcoming version of Audacity. MuseScore has now surpassed many commercial offerings in terms of UX. Just look at the screenshot in this article. A Win9x style column header slapped on a Mac UI. Button sizing and text is all over the place. It is clear that absolutely no care was taken with the UI.
