Female fighters Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate announced for EA Sports UFC

 

I certainly hope they put more girls on the roster instead of just Miesha and Ronda. Zingano, Kedzie, Davis, McMann, Carmouche and Kaufman would be fine choices. Knowing EA; they'll probably be paid DLC :/

Well the co main event and main event did not disappoint..

 

Holy ****

texeira

:| wow

 

It was a fun event. Most of the brazilian squash matches ended up being spoiled. That was pretty great. Glover finished nicely but he took A LOT of hits during that fight. His chin held up but getting tagged so many times by a guy with such rudimentary striking like Bader is bad news for his title aspirations.

Yep, pretty good Fight Night overall. Seems I was one of the lucky ones whose recording wasn't affected either; BT Sport tweeted there was an EPG error causing some people's Sky boxes to screw up the recording (they're repeating it tonight at 00:45 on BT Sport 2 in case anyone here was affected). :P Onwards to 165!

Alistair Overeem vs. Frank Mir added to UFC 167

 

Overeem clinches Mir against the fence, unloads knees, goodnight Irene.

Or just stands there flat footed before he lifts his arms and gets knocked out - unlikely coming from Mir though

 

Looking forward to seeing who's next in like for Barnett

I gotta feel that's last chance saloon for Reem

 

I really hope he learnt his lesson after the Browne fight. Wouldn't wanna see him cut. There aren't many British fighters in the UFC as it is. :P

Browne. I'm pretty confident in that.

He's more Dutch than anything. If he loses to Mir, he's getting cut for sure. He rakes in WAY too much to be kept around on that contract. If Mir loses, Dana will have a nice talk with him and strongly suggest he retires. Maybe they'll finally allow him to commentate again (he's pretty good at it).

Same here, looks like we'll have to wait for Ben "Clay Guida" Rothwell/Browne

 

Rothwell wasn't looking that hot against Brandon Vera until he did his best Timmy (Boetsch) impression. He isn't even ranked in the UFC rankings so I don't see him taking on Browne unless Browne gets completely blown out of the water by Barnett. I was thinking more of giving him a fight against a guy like Todd Duffee and if he wins (he probably would), have him fight Miocic. Alternatively, the winner of Schaub vs Mitrione could work. Comedy option: Soa Palelei. At altitude in Denver.

    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By +samw61 · Posted

      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!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
