I'm going to give this one to Belfort. He still has the fists of fury he was sporting back in the early 2000s, mentally he's in a better place and physically he's definitely excelling with his new weight.

Don't you keep up with the news? The main event is now Marquardt vs. Okami. Belfort got the chance of a lifetime and it's moving up to face Silva for the title.

You know, after watching Sonnen hurt Silva on his feet, I also give this fight to Belfort. Vitor has the speed, the skill and the power necessary to put Silva on queer street. I'm glad too because I'm tired of Silva and his antics.

yeah it sounds like a filler ppv

I just saw it is actually free in the US, happened to see a best of UFC while going through the channels, and it had a countdown to the fights tonight that said "Free from Germany." So just thought I would post that for anyone in the US who might not have known, this is indeed free on Spike tonight.

MAIN CARD

* Yushin Okami def. Nate Marquardt via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-28)

* Dennis Siver def. Andre Winner via submission (rear-naked choke) - Round 1, 3:37

* Amir Sadollah def. Peter Sobotta via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

* Krzysztof Soszynski def. Goran Reljic by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

* Duane Ludwig vs. Nick Osipczak via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28)

PRELIMINARY CARD

* Vladimir Matyushenko def. Alexandre "Cacareco" Ferreira via TKO (strikes) - Round 1, 2:20

* Pascal Krauss def. Mark Scanlon via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

* Kyle Noke def. Rob Kimmons via submission (rear-naked choke) - Round 2, 1:33

* Karlos Vemola def. Seth Petruzelli via TKO (strikes) - Round 1, 3:46

* Carlos Eduardo Rocha def. Kris McCray via submission (kneebar) - Round 1, 2:21

Just watched it. My comments in bold.

* Yushin Okami def. Nate Marquardt via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-28) I get the 29-28 cards but 30-27? What? They were conservative since a title shot was on the line but seriously? Nate spent the 3rd round just taking it and Okami lacked any sense of urgency in finishing the fight. And that sucks because he couldn't have known that someone was scoring it 30-27 for him. Lots of moments where they just looked at each other for 10 seconds... christ. They both put on a bad performance and Dana should renegue on the title shot promise because if that's the best his striking can do (not being able to put a damaged and tired Nate away) he has no chance at all against Silva or Belfort, the best 2 strikers in the division.

* Dennis Siver def. Andre Winner via submission (rear-naked choke) - Round 1, 3:37 Great fight. Nothing bad to say here. Siver is best known for being a striker but pulled off an amazing submission.

* Amir Sadollah def. Peter Sobotta via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Sadollah put on a Muay Thai clinic. A good fight. Now if Sadollah could develop some killers instinct and finish fights using his striking, it would be great.

* Krzysztof Soszynski def. Goran Reljic by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) It's nice to see that the judges in Germany don't suffer from takedown-induced-retardation and scored the fight correctly despite Soszynski being taken down in the 1st and 2nd round. He got back up quickly and stiffled Goran's offensive. Albeit ending in a decision, it was a good fight.

* Duane Ludwig vs. Nick Osipczak via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28) I propose that all UFC events in the future are judged by german judges. The scores were spot on and Duane deserved the W. Shame he couldn't put Osipczak away in the 3rd because he was totally gone. At least he tried, not like Okami...

PRELIMINARY CARD

* Vladimir Matyushenko def. Alexandre "Cacareco" Ferreira via TKO (strikes) - Round 1, 2:20 Ferreira was flashy in his takedowns but guess what, they failed. Matyushenko went all Jon Jones on him. Bam! TKO.

* Pascal Krauss def. Mark Scanlon via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Didn't air. No comment.

* Kyle Noke def. Rob Kimmons via submission (rear-naked choke) - Round 2, 1:33 Didn't air. No comment.

* Karlos Vemola def. Seth Petruzelli via TKO (strikes) - Round 1, 3:46 Vemola is a BEAST. He handled Seth like a ragdoll and Seth is a big guy for 205. Vemola started in the UFC at HW but the cut to LHW didn't seem to influence his strenght at all. He's HUGE. I want to see how he fares against better competition.

* Carlos Eduardo Rocha def. Kris McCray via submission (kneebar) - Round 1, 2:21 Kris McCray again showing the holes in his defense. He's 0-2. If he doesn't win the next one, he's probably gone.

Not the worst card I've seen this year. Some good fights, some medium fights. Now let's see how this title scene develops.

    • Minecraft Chase the Skies update and Vibrant Visuals graphics overhaul lands next week by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The second major game update of the year for Minecraft is almost here. Mojang today announced that its next Game Drop, Chase the Skies, is landing on June 17. Alongside it, the highly anticipated graphics overhaul, dubbed Vibrant Visuals, will be available too, making the day a rather big occasion for Minecraft fans. The Chase the Skies update has a large number of gameplay features and content, but one of the biggest is the expansion of the Ghast. Now, players will be able to find Happy Ghasts as a tameable mob, letting up to five players ride them on journeys across the skies. To get one, players will have to find small, dehydrated Ghasts near fossil structures in the Nether, then bring it to the overworld and feed it plenty of water. It is also possible to craft dried Ghasts from Nether materials. Other features of this update include a handy player locator bar, better leads functionality, craftable saddles, a new music disc, and more. As for the Vibrant Visuals upgrade, Mojang is touting a visual refresh that lets players witness how lights and shadows affect the Minecraft world. "Fly high with your happy ghast to watch the sunrise reflect on the rippling ocean, make art with shifting shadows, descend into dark depths, or simply sit back and enjoy the vivid beauty of each biome," says the studio. "With updated in-game visuals you’ll see how light and shadow transform the Overworld – water reflects, forests become shaded, fog drifts, and waterfalls glimmer in the light." The currently supported devices for Vibrant Visuals include Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, as well as Android (Android: Adreno 640, Mali-G68, Mali-G77, or Xclipse 530 or higher) and iOS (A12 or M1 or higher.)   Unfortunately, the Vibrant Visuals upgrade will only be available on the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, at least for now. Mojang has said that it plans to bring the visual overhaul to the Java Edition of Minecraft at a later date, but no information or release window has been announced just yet.
    • Once people get use to the square-ish case, they'll probably switch the display to square as well.
    • Why would you think it's not enabled all the time? Because they said so?
    • $100 billion of the $200 billion is in N.Y. State over the upcoming 20 years plus. Obviously 20+ year spending plans are subject to change.
    • I own one somewhere and even got the email from Amazon letting me know about the recall but not sure I'll be able to find it. Haven't seen it in months.
