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

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
