Wake me up when it's over. I have absolutely no interest in this fight whatsoever. Dana flat out said after that trouncing from Shogun that "you will never see Chuck Liddell fight in the UFC again." How long ago was that? I always took Dana to mean the stuff he says. Regarding Rich, Rich is too nice of a guy for this sport. He doesn't have that killer instinct because he cares about people. As much as I like the guy he needs to go back to teaching. If he's going to stay then throw some of this kicks with power!!

I don't know about that, I think that Chuck v Rich will be an interesting fight.

Trouble is, it feels like a filler PPV. If Chuck wins, what next for him? I remember a time where people argued he was in the same league as Shogun. Not in a million years now. He doesn't go anywhere from there as the Champion and top contenders are far too strong for him.

As for Rich, as notta mentioned above, he doesn't have the killer instinct and again the top contenders in the divisions he has fought in are far too strong for him.

Chuck vs. Tito would be a good story build up and cash cow, but not as a main event. Co-main event maybe, but main event is a bit too much IMO.

Come on. Rich is fine for the sport. He's a talented fighter. Diminished self-esteem since the losses to Silva, but still a good fighter.

As for Chuck, we'll see if he can come back from this. Right now, he may be in a low spot, but there's nothing to say that he can't fight and win against others to rise up to be the champ again.

Coincidentally, or conveniently ? depending upon how you want to look at it, Mirko ?Cro Cop? Filipovic located the Fountain of Youth just in the nick of time. Immediately following his 3rdRound victory over the starstruck Pat Barry at UFC 115, CC hit the MMA free agent market.

?I wanted to prove to everyone that I?m not too old, and they are wrong,? Filipovic said at the post-fight press conference. ?I?ve got to tell you my preparation for this fight was the hardest preparation in all my life.?

After a disappointing debut with the world?s premier MMA organization in 2007, where Cro Cop posted a lackluster 1-2 mark, CC and the UFC amicably parted ways despite having multiple fights remaining on his contract. For whatever reason, the veteran wasn?t right and needed to hone his skills elsewhere before returning to the Octagon.

In July of 2009, While told Yahoo! Sports that the 2-0 (with a No Contest against Alistair Overeem) record Cro Cop put up since leaving the UFC was good enough to warrant an unprecedented one-fight deal. After posting a dominant 1stRound TKO over Mostapha Al-Turk at UFC 99 (The card was appropriately titled, ?The Comeback?), Cro Cop earned himself the pre-arranged three-fight extension to remain with the UFC.

The 2006 Pride Open Weight Grand Prix champ broke-in his newly inked deal by unleashing a slow and sluggish performance against the up-and-coming Junior dos Santos at UFC 103. The 3rdRound TKO loss apparently lit a fire under Cro Cop because he?s posted two straight finishes since, including his rear-naked submission of Barry on Saturday.

While most were dumping dirt on his illustrious career after his humiliating loss to dos Santos, Cro Cop found a way to recapture his Pride FC mojo and has surprisingly become the hottest name on the open market this side of Jake Shields.

?We?re going to talk to Mirko and see what Mirko wants to do,? UFC president Dana White stated. ?Mirko has said to me and [uFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta] that he wants to finish his career here, so we plan on him finishing his career with the UFC.?

If White and Co. were hoping to get a hometown discount because they were kind enough to allow the controversial striker back into their Octagon, just listen to his money-motivated post-fight speech where he was fishing for a PAIR of Fight Night Bonuses.

?I hope Dana White is not too stingy,? Filipovic jokingly said. ?I want that Submission of the Night bonus, and maybe Fight of the Night, too??

Cro Cop had to settle for only taking home Submission of the Night honors, but the extra $85,000 should be the first of many large payments to come for the rejuvenated, if not resurrected, 35-year-old.

Was a great event.. Sad to see McDonald lose with 7 seconds left, that kid has some heart man..

Pat Barry looked phenomenal in the first round, but he ****ed himself by not finishing, he'll learn from it and come back stronger next time.

Martin Kampman is a beast.. dude has a chin of steel i swear, he's gonna end up on top at some point.

The Danzig loss in the prelims was BS.. soooo BS.

Poor Chuck.. he looked fanastic for most of the 1st round, but he has no chin left on him, that was such a weak shot by franklin, still can't believe he buckled like that. I had chuck winning that round. Sucks to see him go but he just can't take a punch anymore.

I am happy to see CroCop looking great again.. can't wait to see more from him.

Here is a funny pic from the event that i wanted to share..lol

    • 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.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
