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.

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.

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.

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
