Hey there,

I'm totally new to this, just watched a game at a friend's house the other day and enjoyed it. So I wanna start following UFC, but want a little background first. Is there anything to read/watch that would bring me up to date ? Like classic past games, major players in the past and the present, players with a unique style, etc ... a DVD or something that I could buy and quickly catch-up would be great :)

PS : I also wanted to know, is this 100% real ? Like no staging, no money involved whatsoever ?

The UFC isn't really the kind of thing you can be updated on, also it's all legit. I believe their was a DVD with the top 100 fights on it.

UFC is just 1 promoter of Mixed Martial Arts theres also Strikeforce, Dream and a few others but the UFC is the main one now before the main one was Pride before the UFC bought them out.

Yeah I have bought that one, but it's more targeted at people that already know what's going on and just want to have a fancy archive. My "problem" is that when I sit now to watch a game and everybody is going "Oh my god ! This is the game of the century, I HAVE to watch this :woot: " i'm like "Huh ? Why ? :huh: ". It would be great if there was a place with big games and their context, major players with their style and eveything, etc ... :/

Yeah, just start watching the evens that are monthly/bi monthly and pick fighters that you like. That's how I did it, I still don't know very much about it but I know enough to understand what's going on. Also like with anything the more you watch the more you'll understand.

Also if you decide to watch pay per views online don't use the stupid ufc smooth stream one, go with Yahoo Sports, it's much better. :angry:

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
    • Amazon Greenlights A New "Stargate" Series

      By ryansurfer98 · Posted

      I disagree. Boomer execs only want one thing; money money money. The original fans of the series want a specific reboot that focuses on the vibe and feel of the original series. Boomers don't want that because then they can't have a 8 to 9 figure return. This was canceled because of greed. 
    • Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger by David Uzondu Image via Meta Meta is expanding Meta Business Agent, a feature that the social media giant promises will help businesses deliver "personalized experiences for customers using AI," launching the tech globally. Before this global release, Meta Business Agent used to be a free test called "Business AI" during a testing phase that started in October 2024. Meta picked India, Mexico, and Brazil to test the software, gathering data from over one million active shops that used the chat tools. The agent works on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, helping shops answer customer questions, check incoming leads, book appointments, and recommend products from a catalog. Meta said that the business agent can match your brand's unique tone when speaking to customers, and that it plans to improve the feature to handle "daily operations" like market research, product insights, calendars, and rival research. Soon, users will find these AI-supported shops easily by typing names in the WhatsApp search bar. Image via Meta Apart from the Business Agent, Meta is also introducing the Meta Business Agent Platform, a new agentic platform that provides the infrastructure needed to build, customize, and run virtual helpers at scale. With the Platform, companies link their bots to services like Shopify, Zendesk, and Shopee using firm-level controls, guardrails, and metrics to define strict rules. This setup lets coders build custom behaviors, keeping customers happy with direct answers. Speaking of agents, you might have heard that hackers recently broke into Instagram accounts by simply asking the Meta AI support assistant on the mobile app to hand over control. You can check out our coverage on that here.
