She's pretty hot :rofl: but she will probably beat the crap out of me for saying it! :p

She's probably fighting Cat Zingano (left) on her next outing. She's a pretty strong woman and can possibly beat Tate on the feet.

oh right? I would love to see Carano back but its never going to happen

oh right? I would love to see Carano back but its never going to happen

Not going to happen for several reasons:

1. She's a movie star now (albeit a B-movie star but still a star).

2. There is no 145lb division in the UFC, only viable promotion to make money in is Invicta FC.

3. She currently can't make 145lb unless she cuts off a leg. Or an arm.

4. (Minor reason) She has a Muay Thai centric approach and hasn't evolved her game since getting smashed into bits by Chris Santos. Marloes Coenen would probably break her in half.

Ronda Rousey could be going into acting?

Mixed martial artist star and judo Olympic medalist Ronda Rousey has signed with WME.

Rousey was the first female fighter to join the UFC, becoming its first champion in the bantamweight category. As a judoka, she has won every fight in the first round by armbar, a fighting technique, and last year gained infamy when she broke an opponent?s arm.

Rousey became the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in Judo, capturing bronze at the Summer Games in Beijing.

This past Saturday, Rousey, who is undefeated, defended her belt and won the UFC's first women's bout, beating Liz Carmouche in the first round of their bantamweight title fight at UFC 157.

While male fighters and athletes have a long tradition of crossing over from sport to screen, women are less known for making the transition. Gina Carano, another MMA fighter, famously segued into acting when she starred in the 2012 Steven Soderbergh action film Haywire. She is now set to appear in Fast & Furious 6.

Mark Hunt vs Junior dos Santos set for UFC 160

This is going to be amazing :woot:

That sure is a great match up, but if Hunt is to stand any slight chance of a victory, he's definitely going to have to lose some bulk and strengthen that cardio against someone like dos Santos. Still it's good to see him get a fight against one of the top guys because he is more than just a mid ranker in the HW division.

Mark Hunt get better cardio? :rofl: That's not going to happen. He's improved his ground game but that's as far as he'll go. Maybe he'll be able to go 2 rounds, but never a 3 round fight just because he knows, in his heart, that he can knock the block off of anyone. As for his standing in the division, it's currently one of the shallowest divisions in the UFC (and everywhere else) so he's in the Top 15 by default. It's the Mike Russow story again, but Hunt has a better toolbox and could possibly rise higher. But JDS is just too much.

This is clearly fight made just for the fans. Hunt has the power to cause an upset if he lands flush but JDS will certainly open on as a 2 to 1 favorite at least. And despite Hunt's solid chin, not even him can just walk through JDS' punches, not many of them at least. A furious 1 round slugfest or a 3 round beatdown, I would be happy with both outcomes.

In a move set to make history, The Ultimate Fighting Championship? (UFC?) announced Saturday evening that it will feature women as coaches on the 18th season of The Ultimate Fighter?, its long-running reality series. Newly minted UFC bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey, will coach opposite the winner, and eventual title contender, of a fight between Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano set for The Ultimate Fighter Finale on April 13 in Las Vegas, Nev.

Earlier this year, the UFC announced Rousey as the first-ever female fighter signed to the organization. She cemented her position as UFC champion and baddest woman on the planet with an impressive win against Liz Carmouche at UFC? 157 in Anaheim, Calif.

On April 13, former Strikeforce bantamweight women?s champion Miesha Tate will square-off against highly touted, undefeated contender Cat Zingano in the second women?s bout in UFC history. The winner will ultimately join Rousey as coach to the newest class of bantamweights ? living and training together ? vying for the title of The Ultimate Fighter and a six?figure contract with the UFC.

Tryouts for season 18 of The Ultimate Fighter will take place on Monday, April 15 in Las Vegas, Nev. All TUF? 18 candidates must be at least 21 years old, have the legal ability to live & work in the United States, and have a minimum of three professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fights ? holding a winning record (with verifiable records).

Tryout details will be released on Monday, March 18. TUF 18 is expected to debut in the fall of 2013.

Meanwhile, tickets for season 17?s The Ultimate Fighter? Finale are on-sale now. To purchase tickets to the April 13th event at Mandalay Bay Events Center, or for more information, visit the Mandalay Bay Events Center Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations, www.ticketmaster.com, or charge-by-phone at 800.745.3000.

Catch all new episodes of this season of The Ultimate Fighter 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Here is the application:

http://www.ufc.com/TUF18

"2. All applicants MUST have a WINNING RECORD of at least 3 PROFESSIONAL MMA fights. All records will be verified on sherdog.com and mixedmartialarts.com. If we cannot verify your record on either of these sites you will NOT be considered."

This cuts down the women's BW pool by a lot. I would like to see Veronica Rothenhausler in the house but she's just made her pro debut after a 3-0 amateur "career".

The TUF 16 Finale was an amazing show, the total opposite of the TUF season. Seeing how this season has been quite good, I really hope the Finale delivers. Still, there are some good fights on Facebook. Hall is a clear favorite for the win.

What a great event. Tate vs Zingano was an amazing fight. Hall was a victim of believing his own hype. He went out there emulating Anderson Silva but without the skills and development to close the deal. Kelvin just worked hard and did everything he could to get the win. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

TRT is working wonders for Mir. Looking very ripped for 257lb.

UFC fighter Chael Sonnen tells TMZ that he wants to buy WWE when he retires from MMA fighting. Chael's rep told TMZ that he's not joking and has already met with "bigwig friends in the investment world to enact his takeover."

A WWE rep told TMZ:

"We are a publicly traded company, so [Chael is] more than welcome to purchase shares of WWE stock and become one of our valued shareholders."

    • And thereby lies the rub. AV1 support is not as wide as paid analysts would have the industry believe. With AV2 around the corner, it's going cause more time backlog in adoption (how many recent purchasers will upgrade yet-again within the next 6-12 months? most would rather stay pat for another 1+ years before even thinking about upgrading their setups).
    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily expanding OneDrive’s file management capabilities over the years, including for shared content and shortcuts, although it has had its flaws, too. The cloud storage platform introduced support for folder shortcuts several years ago, allowing users to pin frequently accessed shared folders from OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Now, Microsoft is refining that experience further with a new way to organize those shortcuts as revealed in a recent Microsoft 365 roadmap addition. Previously, shortcuts added through the “Add shortcut to My files” option would appear alongside all other files and folders in the root of a user's OneDrive. And although it's meant to be useful, this approach could also create clutter along the way, especially for heavy users who may have to work with large numbers of shared folders across multiple projects and teams on their systems. This is where Microsoft’s latest feature comes in, as it is looking to address this inconvenience by giving users the option to place new shortcuts inside a dedicated “Shortcuts” folder instead. The feature is designed to keep shortcut links organized into a single location instead of scattering throughout the main OneDrive directory. Hence, the idea is to make navigation and usability easier and simpler. The first time a user chooses this option, OneDrive will automatically create the folder, and to help make it stand out from the other folders, the Shortcuts folder will have a distinct visual identity featuring a unique color and a building-style icon. That being said, the new Shortcuts will behave just like any other folder in OneDrive, and as such, users will be able to move it to a different location, rename it, share it with others, or remove it entirely if they prefer a different structure. You can view the entry on the Microsoft 365 roadmap website here. Currently, the feature is in the "in development" phase, but the tech giant expects the rollout to start next month (July 2026). Do keep in mind, though, that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.123 alongside its annual developer conference, Build 2026. This release, as always, has a heavy focus on advanced AI agent integration and making the built-in browser more robust. Notably, this update brings big sync changes that keep your AI agents persistent across sessions. With this update, VS Code now supports cross-machine syncing for chat histories, touched files, repository contexts, and related PRs via GitHub accounts, tying users even more into Microsoft’s developer ecosystem. This update also introduces the new /chronicle command that allows you to query past sessions using natural language, generate instant standup reports, and get personal productivity insights. Microsoft has also made some improvements to network-dependent operations, it explains: “When a terminal command that is run by a local agent requires access to domains that are not configured as allowed domains, the command is automatically retried inside the sandbox with unrestricted network access. After that, if it still fails, it falls back to unsandboxed execution. This allows network-dependent operations such as git fetch to finish, while keeping filesystem protections in place.” Microsoft has not stopped there; in this update, it also allows developers to drag, drop, and pin multiple agent sessions side-by-side for easy code comparisons in real-time. It also introduces the Research Agent, accessible via /research. This is a read-only, depth-optimized tool that gets data from the web, local codebase, and GitHub to give you a Markdown report on complex APIs or unfamiliar code. Now, let’s talk about the integrated browser and some security enhancements. VS Code 1.123 features enhanced screenshot capture tools that allow for targeted Area Screenshots and Full Page Screenshots to send layout context instantly to AI chat. The address bar has also been revamped, supporting favorite pages and tab management. Finally, on the security front, this update introduces a safety-first two-hour delay on third-party extension auto-updates to safeguard against compromised or buggy releases. This release is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you have VS Code, keep an eye out for the update availability notification. If you still don’t have VS Code, you can get it here.
    • I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.
    • Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!
