^ I can't help but laugh at that. Bellator pulled Rampage and Ortiz off of Impact Wrestling to keep them from getting injured and it happened anyway! :rofl: That's done ****ed up their first PPV; they should probably just move it to Spike and try a PPV later on.

 

And you who got the shortest end of the stick in all of this? EDDIE ######ING ALVAREZ. I sure hope his contract said that if the PPV is a no-go on that date, that he's a free agent.

 

Also, how the ###### do you break your neck training so close to the fight? Was he training getting slammed by Quinton in the cage, like Quinton always tries to do? No fakery there, no sir, Bellator is legit*

 

*And also associates way too much with pretend fighting.

UFN Manchester shows, once again, that the downed opponent rule needs to be changed. If one or both of your knees are on the floor, downed opponent. If you're just touching your hand on the mat but are on the soles of your feet, it should be legal.

UFC: Fight for the Troops 3 was pretty fun. There weren't any really bad fights, except for Green vs Krause, and it opened up some fun match-ups for future events.

 

Only 6 events left in the "season" until the end of 2013, where both of the PPV lined up have to potential to be the best PPV of the year, in terms of fights and PPV buys.

 

UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson

UFC 167: St-Pierre vs. Hendricks

The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rousey vs. Team Tate Finale

UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Bigfoot

UFC on Fox: Pettis vs. Thomson

UFC 168: Weidman vs. Silva 2

It's a pretty terrible card all around. Rafael Cavalcante vs Igor Pokrajac is the 3rd bout on the card. It's THAT bad. I'll still watch it. But it's bad.

What was it like, anyway? I forgot to set Sky+ to record it; haven't even looked at the results.

11 fights, 9 finishes. It ended up being a "fun" card but absolutely irrelevant, except for the main event.

UFC is publishing a ton of amazing videos on YouTube to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Good :D

Rashad Evans vs. Chael Sonnen

Georges St-Pierre vs. Johny Hendricks

Are we in for a shock?

 

Yes, maybe this time it will be 49-46 instead of the usual 50-45. :woot:

 

Josh Koscheck had a big right hand, got his eye socket broken for his troubles. If Hendricks doesn't close the deal in the first, he's in for a long night. His wins over Pierce and Kos are blueprints of how you can neutralize his power. The Condit fight, where he faded a bit in the 3rd, is also a troubling sign. GSP being GSP and gameplaning as he does, his chances aren't great. But we've already seen a massive upset in 2013. Another one would be something special, albeit not very likely.

Going to get my unpopular opinion in now....

 

GSP won that fight.

 

Yep. I said it.

I agree. it all came down to the first round,and that was close because they each got a takedown,and landed similar amount of strikes, but GSP got a sub in there. it surely wasn't a robbery like some folks seem to think, it was just a super close fight.

it surely wasn't a robbery like some folks seem to think, it was just a super close fight.

That's exactly what it was; only difference is I had it 48-47 to Hendricks rather than GSP. I'm surprised one of the judges didn't rule it a draw, to be honest; it really was that close. The way GSP talked in his post-match interview, we probably won't be seeing a rematch. :/

 

 

Meanwhile...

tyron-woodley-ufc-167-knockout.gif?w=640

Lots of ###### score cards last night but the main event took the cake. In my eyes, Hendricks won that fight. He also came very close to finishing GSP, something not even Carlos Condit, probably the best striker GSP ever faced, could achieve.

    • 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!
