Shane Carwin just dropped out of his fight against Nelson at UFC 125. I guess that Pat Barry moves on up to face Nelson and that Lesnar gets Carwin when they both get back. Frank Mir gets the short end of the stick.

Totally forgot it was on, im on it now!

Do watch. Now that the WEC and UFC are merging, these final shows will determine how much pull will the BW, FW and FLW (eventually) guys have in their match-ups.

It's also notable that some guys in the LW class in the UFC will drop down to FW or even BW in order to be more competitive. Aldo's camp already said that Aldo will eventually move up a class so people are running for the hills as soon as they can.

Yeah its going to open up a lot of doors for the UFC fighters too, i love WEC.. The past few have been better than the UFC events when it comes to exciting fights and good finishes.. Imagine BJ Penn at featherweight? Not that he looks like he even wants to be fighting these days..

Gonna watch WEC tonight :D

Because I know that Machida can knock out/submit Rampage, even though I want Rampage to knock out Machida.

I don't know what would happen, you know for sure that Machida would change his style. It's a win-win for me. I'm still shocked that Machida has lost two in a row. I used to think that he was the Anderson Silva of his division.

He didn't change his style after the first Shogun fight which he lost (even if the judges didn't agree). His refusal to change his style is putting is future at jeopardy in the Division. If he insists in counter-punching instead of taking the fight to the opponents, he's going to keep losing decisions to more agressive fighters and getting KOed by better strikers.

There is also no money in that rematch. It was a weird decision but the fight was awful. Had it been a slobberknocker, Dana would be announcing the rematch right after the fight. Since it was kind of a snoozefest... not so much. I think Rampage should fight the loser of Jon Jones vs Ryan Bader for the next title shot. The winner of Jones vs Bader should have the next shot after Rashad fights Shogun. Machida... I don't know, if they give him the loser of Evans vs Shogun, it's an encore but I don't think it would be a draw. Maybe he should fight some middle of the pack guy to get back on a winning path. He won't be cut because is far better to keep him around than to let him go to other promotions.

Never did talk about the retardation that was Zoila Frausto "beating" (in judges minds) Megumi Fujii, taking her 125 pound belt and winning streak and then imediately vacating to title to move up one weight class. It was bad for Megumi Fujii and it was bad for Bellator that lose that somewhat special draw of the best MMA fighter in the world (record wise).

In other news, Strikeforce should really call it quits on matchmaking. They tried to call in Todd Duffee to face Pez?o in such short notice. He said no so now they're sacrificing one of their "top" LHW prospects to him. Christ...

Theres news flying around that Bellator have signed a tv deal with MTV..

http://mmajunkie.com/news/21747/ceo-bjorn-rebney-details-bellators-new-three-year-deal-with-mtv2.mma

Yes, seems like Bellator is coming to MTV 2.

Did anyone see Ubereem destroying Todd Duffee in Dynamite!! 2010? Duffee took a gamble by taking that fight with only two weeks notice. There was no way he could beat Ubereem without a proper training camp. And Ubereem crushes yet another can for the DREAM HW title that didn't exist until that date.

maybe UFC should bring him in!

maybe UFC should bring him in!

They won't ever. Overeem likes to fight in Japan all the time, more so than the US. UFC never lets people fight in a bunch of other promotions at the same time.

Strikeforce and Dream have a deal where they can fight in both promotions. Plus Overeem does K1.

And about Dufee taking a gamble, Overeem just won the K1 tournament 2 weeks ago. Fought 3 fights one 1 night. And he totally crushed him. I don't think a proper training camp would have done anything for his chances. lol

Overeem's been destroying cans but still he destroyed Brett Rogers and Cro-Cop in the first round, Brett beat Arlovski and went 2 rounds with Fedor; Cro-Cop went 3 rounds with Dos Santos and Frank Mir and yet Overeem destroyed them both in the first round I actually believe Overeem wouldn't do to badly in the UFC he'd lose to Brock and the wrestlers but I believe he'd beat most of the UFCs strikers.

    • Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.
    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
