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.

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 3 weeks later...

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.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
