didn't see the fight, but on Twitter Ariel Halwany pretty much said the same thing, and the scoring seemed off from what I hear the fight was like vs the judges scores

 

The UFC is going to have to seriously do something about judging before it blows up in their faces, which it might just be ready to do by the sounds of it, crap like this is only going to hurt thee brand right when it's poised to really take off as a mainstream sport

There was no robbery, watch the fight. Only one card was "bad". 48-47 was, IMO, the correct call for that fight, the 49-48 card was ludicrous. 2 scores on the undercard were way worse than this. That a judge somehow saw a 29-28 for Roland Delorme is incredible.

 

The UFC can't do anything about the judging without interfering with the commissions. It's in the best interest of the sport that they remain as far away from it as possible or else they'll cast a shadow over every controversial decision that ends up benefiting the UFC economically. Just look at the last Floyd fight, the judge that scored it a draw (HOW!?) was protected by Kizer until he conceded it was a absolutely ridiculous call.

Even UFC have messed up judges!

 

Ontario commission, nothing to do with the UFC. They don't even pick the referees. One guy cost Ren?e Forte the possibility of remembering the name of his kids later in life. And the kicker is... they don't release individual round scores.

 

The UFC only picks the judges in countries where there is no sporting commission like Brazil.

How is it Jon Jones won and he's the one receiving health treatment :/

 

So what? It was a war. Gustafsson was certainly worse for wear in the end of the 4th round. If damage counted for the scores, B.J Penn would've never lost a decision in his life. Gustafsson got his head stapled back together from the spinning elbow.

That was... interesting. Trying to decide what's more unusual, that or this...

Ever heard of X-ARM?

 

 

Dumbest MMA crossover "sport" ever. That russian video is par the course of what you would expect in a country filled with Combat Sambo fighters that hasn't gone to war in a while. Russian MMA is absolutely crazy. I wish that I could fight the tag team MMA video I once saw that showed a full fight.

Congratulations. You found the weirdest MMA crossover ever.  :s I thought it was just taping up their hands to avoid slipping out of each other's grasp; I certainly wasn't expecting that!

...I stand corrected.  :|

 

Just wait until I find the tag team MMA fight. :rofl:

 

Cards are goddamned stacked until the end of 2013. I think Dana will wait until he has the buy rate final numbers to announce a rematch. One should note that there aren't any relevant LHW clashes until the next year. And seeing how Mousasi is probably going back to MW, the UFC is quite in a pickle. The rematch extends the shelf life of the division, or else it's Teixeira, then Davis.

Glover Teixeira, not Alexander Gustafsson, next for Jon Jones

 

What the ######, why is Gustafsson fighting on a swedish card? It will almost certainly be a Fox Sports 2 event and he'll be fighting either Phil Davis or Lil' Nog. How does that raise his profile as a future star? Goddamn, that's dumb.

During a recent media interview, UFC President Dana White claims former WWE star Ken Shamrock owes him $175,000 in legal fees, and that he is coming after Shamrock for the money. You can check out the interview below:

Oh well, Jones probably has a say who he wants next tbh

 

Yes, he certainly has some level of pull within the company. But I don't think Teixeira moves the needle more than a rematch with Gustafsson. This decision just buries Gustafsson after the highest profile fight he ever had and guarantees that the LHW division will shut down in 2014.

Found it! Tag Team MMA IN A SAND PIT.

 

The promotion is called Thrones MMA, based out of Russia. Of course none of those guys have official records. It's... something.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.

      It is notable that around 70% of web browser users choose Google Chrome. However, it is puzzling why anyone on Windows would opt for Chrome when Microsoft Edge is often superior in many aspects and comes pre-installed. Edge collects less data, uses less RAM, and is more optimized for Windows as a native Microsoft product. While some may point to bloat in Edge, much of it can be removed with simple tools, requiring no more effort than installing Chrome. Meanwhile, Chrome reportedly downloads large amounts of AI data (4 GB) without explicit consent. I'm sure you Chrome users love that, or? Here is one example of a tool that doesn't even need to be installed to be able to use: https://github.com/TheBobPony/MSEdgeTweaker Although Microsoft’s aggressive promotion of Edge may be questionable, the browser’s current advantages make it a preferable choice over Chrome today, even if Chrome may have been better in the past.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
