UFC 125 - Edgar vs Maynard/Brandon Vera vs. Thiago Silva


Recommended Posts

It's a shame that Nelson got cut but the HW picture is a bit murky at the moment. There is one clear contender in JDS and the rest is... a mess. Carwin is injured and coming from a loss, Cro Cop is coming from a loss and awful performance, Mir won but did an awful job at that and the rest are pretty much irrelevant at the momento.

"Grispi: Aldo Can Be Knocked Out, Choked Out"

All I can say... LOL. I know he's doing his part in hyping up the fight but he will get smashed into pieces. He hasn't fought anyone remotely on the level as Aldo...

LOL but on the other side of the coin it would be a MASSIVE upset if he did beat him

Sure. But unlike Lesnar, Aldo has no obvious weaknesses. He's only been beaten once and has completely dominated every other opponent. Of his 8 fights in the WEC, only 1 has gone to decision and that Faber fight was a complete beatdown. Faber couldn't even stand on his leg at the end of the fight.

He's one of the best P4P fighters in the UFC and if he moved to LW, he would do unspeakable things to Frankie Edgar/Gray Maynard.

Aldo is out due to injury. This card just flopped badly. Without Aldo, it's an OK card but it's not the kind of card that the UFC wants to start the year with. I hope they find a new co-main event instead of promoting a fight to that status (who are the going to promote anyway? Guida? Diaz? Leben? LoL)

I would like Faber to fight but since Cruz is defending the title on December 16th it's too soon. Maybe give Jake Ellenberger a fight.

They took one of the best cards of the year and just took a dump all over it. Thiago Silva vs Bradon Vera was also added to the card. Both coming from losses. Probably fighting for their jobs. Same things as the Baroni vs Tavares fight. Tavares is 1-0 in the UFC MW division and Baroni is coming from 2 straight losses...

The most interesting fight on this card might not even air: Antonio McKee straight out of MFC takes on Volkmann. I'm hoping that he wins it and makes a run for the belt eventually.

Final card added to UFC.com. The moved the Vera vs Silva fight up to the main card. Way to put more pressure on 2 fights fighting for their jobs.

Main card

  • Lightweight Championship bout: Frankie Edgar © vs. Gray Maynard
  • Middleweight bout: Chris Leben vs. Brian Stann
  • Light Heavyweight bout: Brandon Vera vs. Thiago Silva
  • Welterweight bout: Nate Diaz vs. Dong Hyun Kim
  • Lightweight bout: Clay Guida vs. Takanori Gomi

Preliminary card

  • Lightweight bout: Marcus Davis vs. Jeremy Stephens
  • Featherweight bout: Josh Grispi vs. Dustin Poirier
  • Middleweight bout: Phil Baroni vs. Brad Tavares
  • Featherweight bout: Mike Brown vs. Diego Nunes
  • Welterweight bout: Daniel Roberts vs. Greg Soto
  • Lightweight bout: Jacob Volkmann vs. Antonio McKee

Josh Grispi must be ****ed. He went from co-main event to the undercard and altough he will probably win, it still puts pressure on him to keep his title shot.

Ha exactly what i was just thinking, bet he isnt happy.. Looks like an alright card, you know you're gonna get a good fight out of Guida/Gomi, plus Leben is always entertaining..

Yeah, it's alright. But that's the thing. It's the first card in 2011 in a post-WEC world. It should be amazing and it ends up being OK. :pinch: If UFC 124 ends up being as great as predicted, it will look even worse in comparison.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
