LOL Kongo shouldnt of turned his back on Mir at the Weigh in ;)

Damn right. Mir indicated at the weigh in's that Kongo's neck will be wrapped around Mir's arms and that's EXACTLY what happened. Respect to Mir.

Strip Brock if he can't fight and make a championship bout between Mir and Carwin.

Diego Sanchez was outclassed. Penn was better in every regard. Shame that Sanchez had to get geat up bad to find out though.

Off topic: Where the hell is GSP? Fighters that fight every 1-2 years **** me off.

He faces Dan Hardy in March at UFC 111 but it does certainly seem like a long time since he last fought....actually looking that up he last fought July!

Mir looked amazing at that weight.. interested to see where this takes him. Sanchez got outclassed, Penn looked calm during the whole match and just picked him apart. Florian showed some great boxing work, his new trainers are paying off i guess... but regardless if guida wins or loses i'll always be a fan of that dude, such an exciting fighter and classy as hell, never has a bad thing to say about anyone.

According to some things Dana has said regarding BJ is that he will have maybe 1-2 more fights in the LW division, possibly Edgar/Griffen/Maynard and if he should win them, then he will vacate the title and move up to Welter, however he will not get a title shot right away. Don't know if this is a good move for BJ honestly. I think if anything maybe the ufc should send him over to the WEC so he can clear out the 145 division. IMO it's a win/win as it would gain the WEC some much needed spotlight and it would make for some REALLY good 145 fights.

penn proved he's the best lightweight, but poor guy is always going to have that asterisks on the his career that he lost to GSP twice (which is nothing to be ashamed of).

That kick that opened up that gash that stop the fight was deadly, that cut was HUGE.

You have to be kidding me... He as fought every 4-6 months since joining the UFC in 2004. Some fights coming even 3 months apart. And even taking a fight on 1 months notice against Matt Hughes. God forbid he take a 9 month break after he injures his GROIN!!!!

You said it ^. Sanchez with the cut at the end of the fight

As good as Penn is, GSP is just a bigger version of Penn with I think a more impressive physique and great ground skills.

man that cut :| :no: :|

Nah I was wrong.

I could have sworn that I haven't seen that guy for a LONG time. Quite surprised that he fought in July.

    • iPhone 17 leaker refutes own claim about base model using last year's A18 chip

      By Sagar Naresh · Posted

      iPhone 17 leaker refutes own claim about base model using last year's A18 chip by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar A lot has already been seen and heard about this year's iPhone 17 lineup. It is rumored that this year, the selfie cameras on all iPhone 17 models will get a bump from 12MP to 24MP. More importantly, the entire lineup, except for the base iPhone 17, will get a new camera module on the back. However, there was some disappointing news for the base iPhone 17. First, it was reported that it could still miss out on the ProMotion display. Meaning, the base iPhone 17 won't get a display that refreshes from 24Hz to 120Hz, and it will be exclusive to the Pro models. Another rumor claimed that Apple may continue using last year's A18 chipset on the base iPhone 17. Analyst Jeff Pu suggested that the base model would not only be sticking with the A18 chip but would also retain 8GB of RAM. Fast forward to now, Jeff Pu has refuted his previous claims and now says that the iPhone 17 will get an A19 chipset. This will be the same as the iPhone 17 Air, Apple's slim model that is expected to replace the "Plus" model. While Pu reversed his statement about the processor, he reiterated that the base iPhone 17 will continue to feature 8GB RAM. Here's what Pu said (via 9to5Mac); While there's no clarity about the iPhone 17 Air, Ming Chi-Kuo has previously claimed that only Pro models will feature 12GB RAM. The base iPhone 17 is also expected to feature in-house Wi-Fi chips. Moreover, this year, Apple is rumored to increase the prices of this year's models, an effect of President Trump's tariffs.

      I saw it on opening day... it's good, but I was disappointed that it was such a James Gunn movie.  I think I just expected something else, something more, something a touch more serious... even while knowing who was directing it and his style.  It's absolutely worth seeing on the big screen.
