Three to six months? That's clearly wishful thinking. Corey Hill was 30 years old when he destroyed his leg and took a year. GSP took over a year to recover from his knee injury. 2015 is a more realistic return date.

 

If he comes back, and that's a big IF that only Anderson can answer, who will he fight in the MW division? He's in a weird spot right now and the division will (finally) move forward without him.

the official UFC statement also stated he'll be out 3-6 months. it sounds like it was such a clean break,and not much damage to soft tissue.

Recovery time for such injuries may vary between three and six months.

 

Like I said, 2015 is a realistic (and very optimistic) timeline for an Anderson Silva return. Even if he healed perfectly and did it in 3 months, he would still need another 3 months of rehab and another 6 months until he got his training in order to be in fighting shape. That is if the injury doesn't destroy his fitness, like it did to Mark Mu?oz.

Took him 5 months to get back into shape in the time he was out (a whole year) due to his elbow injury. Imagine if he had injured his leg, making him unable to run.

 

While this goes on, the UFC gets a much needed breath of fresh air in the WW and MW divisions that gets contenders going and titles moving around.

While that is going on, Weidman vs Belfort is going ahead. The issue with making that fight happen will certainly be Vitor's TRT.

We also have this card going down on January 4th. It's the first card of 2014 and the first card to ever be aired on the new UFC service: UFC Fight Pass. It will show every fight so no more switching channels to catch all of the bouts.

I was hoping this video would explain how long it takes to recover from such an injury and the likely hood of him being able to perform at the same level he used to when recovered but it doesn't.

 

The UFC is keeping Silva in the collective minds because his (possible) return would be PPV gold. Looking at things from a financial perspective, Silva's injury represents an extremely heavy loss for the UFC. Dominick Cruz can't draw PPV buys to save his life, Mighty Mouse same, Jos? Aldo the same (he needs to get some new highlights in the UFC cage, not old WEC footage), Pettis can't keep himself healthy, GSP (UFC's #1 PPV draw) is out of the picture, Jones is a reasonable enough draw but doesn't have any interesting fights available, and Cain is iffy at best and pretty much always injured. That leaves Ronda but her potential is limited due to lack of marquee opponents.

 

The UFC is in quite a pickle for their PPV schedule in 2014 and they need Silva badly to patch it up. That or Brock Lesnar returning.

 

As for tonight's event, everyone made weight and everything is on track.

Somebody is going to get crushed.

Dominick Cruz out of UFC 169 with torn groin, vacates bantamweight title; Urijah Faber to rematch Renan Barao

 

Dominick Cruz, the glassiest champion ever, finally relinquishes the title. He could've done so in the past year and provided the BW division a chance to move forward but noooooo, he had to be the champ all this time. And now he's not and just tanked (even further) a very weak PPV, at least sales wise.

Well the UFC in singapore was poor, most exciting thing was those 2 illegal elbows.

 

Expected that with Cruz in all fairness, never expected to see him back anytime soon, 2 years out cant be good for anyone and now this? Goood call vacating the title

 

Terrible call, Dana probably forced him to do it. He should've vacated way earlier so the division could move forward.

Titan Fighting Championship begins anew with event headlined by Ricci vs. Gurgel on CBS Sports Network

 

Titan FC is moving out of the HW freakshow business into the televised minor league MMA business. Good for them. Good for Mike Ricci as well, landed on his feet.

 

Surprised the UFC hasn't posted Lamas vs Swanson for free on their YouTube. Most of the people will say "Ricardo who!?". Lamas last fight was in January of 2013 on a FOX card. This PPV is going to tank :/

    • 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.
