He couldn't beat his speed at LW, there is no way in hell he can beat Frankie's speed at FW. Also taking into account how much he went trough to make 155... did he even do a test cut at 145 before agreeing to this?

Props to the UFC for giving him one more fight. And an hilariously bad one at that. Let's see if it can surpass the Soa vs Krylov threshold of badness.

Gilbert picking Eddie and Schaub? For real? Eddie is an understandable pick since he's a strong BW, good chin, and throws thunder. But Schaub? He always tries to punch his way out of trouble with terrible results. Meathead got outgrappled by Cheick Kongo, but I think he can stop the shot and ring Schaub's bell.

The UFC had previously announced that they would be doing a massive press tour for the rematch between Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman at UFC 168. The method of PR seemed to take a page out of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez tour that saw those fighters cross the country and go to Mexico to promote their bout.

It was a smart tactic for the UFC and something that is likely to help build up a very big fight.

Today, the UFC sent out the schedule with cities, times, dates and other details:

Monday, Sept. 23 ? Los Angeles, Calif. ? UFC Gym in Torrance, 4 p.m. PT: Q&A with UFC president Dana White, UFC? middleweight champion Chris Weidman and former middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Free and open to the public.

Tuesday, Sept. 24 ? Las Vegas, Nev. ? Main Lobby, MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, 11 a.m. PT: Press conference with UFC president Dana White, Weidman and Silva. Free and open to the public, streamed live on UFC.com.

Wednesday, Sept. 25 ? New York, N.Y. ? UFC Gym ? NYC John Street, 5 p.m. ET: Autograph signing with Weidman and Silva for the first 300 fans.

Thursday, Sept. 26 ? Bristol, Conn. ? ESPN Press Day

Friday, Sept. 27 ? Miami, Fla. ? Klipsch Ampitheater at Bayfront Park, 1 p.m. ET: Open workout with Weidman and Silva. Free and open to the public.

Sunday, Sept. 29 ? Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ? Clube dos Marimb?s, 1 p.m. BRT: Q&A with UFC president Dana White, Weidman and Silva. Free and open to the public.

Monday, Sept. 30 ? Sao Paulo, Brazil ? Press conference (location/details forthcoming) with UFC president Dana White, Weidman and Silva. Streamed live on UFC.com.

UFC 168 takes place December 28 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

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

 

Travis Browne vs. Josh Barnett heavyweight tilt added to UFC 168

 

As expected, the UFC 168 card is going to be stacked to the gills. It's the last PPV of the year, headlined by a sure money rematch. 

UFC 168 receives Diego Brandao vs. Dustin Poirier, Uriah Hall vs. Chris Leben

 

Some weird matchmaking here. Brand?o is getting thrown into the deep end here, Poirier has proven time and again that he's the real deal and a future FW contender. As for Hall, this is really is last chance to win his place in the UFC. They're giving a totally shot Chris Leben and he should put him away with ease (probably Leben's retirement fight). And yet, I'm sure he'll find some way to disappoint us.

Best case scenario is Bones wining but Bjornes putting up a balanced fight. That way the UFC keeps their golden boy but starts to build another potential star.

 

 

Even UFC have messed up judges!

 

The first quite explains the second one, the UFC is not ready to replace Jones as the "it" boy quite yet, especially not with a white boy, not with Silva having been demolished by a white boy already, gotta keep things equal!!

    • 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!
    • 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.
