Also in February, just before UFC 170 is this beauty of a card

Only the top 3 fights matter and it's on Fight Pass.

 

Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi (Winner gets next MW title shot)

Ronaldo Souza vs. Francis Carmont (Winner is on his way to being #1 MW contender)
Erick Silva vs. Takenori Sato (Erick Silva's Hype Train trying to get back on track).

The game looks incredible!!

 

Machida/Mousasi should be a hell of a fight :| Hope Mousasi has decided to start actually taking MMA seriously, cant even imagine how good he'd be now if he hadnt had such a laid back attitude

 

The same could be said about Machida's insistence on counter-striking that causes him to lose fights. That's just Mousasi's shtick. He has had some bad luck when choosing promotions to fight in with Dream and Strikeforce keeping him on the shelf. Probably robbed him of a great(er) MMA career but it's not too late. He sometimes lacks clutch ability. That's why he holds a draw against a terribly gassed and weak Keith Jardine. He'll have to get his groove on or MW Machida is going to kick him into oblivion and beyond.

Gilbert Melendez and UFC Fail to Reach Agreement on New Contract, ?El Nino? Told to ?Start Looking Elsewhere?

 

:| :| :|  Dana is getting crazy about money. Melendez vs anyone in the LW division would be fireworks. His fight against Sanchez was amazing.

Irrelevant card of the week. Everyone made weight*

Main Card:
Lyoto Machida (185) vs. Gegard Mousasi (186)
Francis Carmont (185) vs. Ronaldo Souza (185)
Takenori Sato (170) vs. Erick Silva (170)
Viscardi Andrade (170) vs. Nicholas Musoke (170)
Andy Ogle (146) vs. Charles Oliveira (143)

 

Preliminary Card:
Cristiano Marcello (156) vs. Joe Proctor (155)
Rodrigo Damm(156) vs. Ivan Jorge (156)
Jesse Ronson (156) vs. Francisco Trinaldo(155)
Iuri Alcantara (136) vs. Wilson Reis (135)
Felipe Arantes (146) vs. Maximo Blanco (147.9)*
Ildemar Alcantara (171) vs. Albert Tumenov (170)
Douglas de Andrade(145 ) vs. Zubair Tuhugov (146)

 

*Maximo Blanco is an idiot and will be cut if he loses.

 

Sara McMann has a ridiculous physique :| Pale as a ghost but fit as ####.

 

What does her being pale have to do with anything?

 

Yeah, she has a shot. I really hate Rousey as a person, but definitely cannot discredit her abilities. She is the best so far...

It's a matter of fact? :huh: She could pair up with Peggy Morgan and form the MMA Pale Force.

 

She'll have to use her wrestling to keep it standing. If she tries to use takedowns on Ronda, she'll get Tate'd in a hurry

Everyone made weight. UFC 170 a go!

 

PPV

Ronda Rousey (135) vs. Sara McMann (135) - Women's bantamweight championship
Daniel Cormier (205) vs. Patrick Cummins (205) - Light heavyweight

Mike Pyle (171) vs. T.J. Waldburger (171) - Welterweight
Robert Whittaker (170) vs. Stephen Thompson (170.5) - Welterweight

 

FOX Sports 1:

Alexis Davis (135) vs. Jessica Eye (136) - Women's bantamweight
Raphael Assuncao (136) vs. Pedro Munhoz (135) - Bantamweight
Cody Gibson (135.5) vs. Aljamain Sterling (135.5) - Bantamweight

Fight Pass

Rafaello Oliveira (155) vs. Erik Koch (155) - Lightweight
Ernest Chavez (156) vs. Yosdenis Cedeno (155.5) - Lightweight

 

How the heck is Koch fighting on Fight Pass while Gibson vs Sterling is on the main prelims is beyond reason.

Two bad stoppages by Herb Dean, a really late stoppage and an early stoppage in a title fight.

Yeh one way too early and the other way too late.. Apart from that not a bad night of fights, really wanted to see Maia school Mcdonald but we cant have it all..

 

Roll on the next 2 weekends :)

Herb Dean went from "best in the business" to Mazzagati levels of incompetence in the blink of an eye. That was awful. :|  Yamazaki also cost Robert Whittaker the possibility of remembering his children's names in the future.

 

McDonald looked pretty terrible in that fight. Technically sound but didn't have a fighting spirit. Maia was totally dead and gone and Rory just couldn't pull the goddamn trigger. "The animal is back" Yeah, right :rolleyes: Where, oh where, have we seen something like this before?

 

Joe Rogan trying to sell the stoppage was pretty cringe worthy as well. That and lauding DC's performance as "best we've ever seen". Against a 4-0 tomato can crusher? Are you serious? It's a disgrace that he took more than 60 seconds to complete that squash match.

UFC matches Bellator offer for Gilbert Melendez, who will coach TUF 20 against Anthony Pettis

 

OH IT'S A GLORIOUS MORNING TODAY! THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

 

The free market at work. Dana may have been at odds with Melendez' management but there was no way in hell he was letting him walk into Bellator. Melendez rolled his dice, stood by his guns, and got a MASSIVE contract in return. He gets garanteed PPV points, regardless of card position, and they kick in at a way lower buyrate than anyone else. Combine that with TUF and a title shot and he's making BANK for 2014.

He was clearly told to sell the living ###### out of Cummings before the fight, didnt work - He looked pretty scrappy, and to even suggest that win was of any worth  to DC is an absolute joke, embarrassing.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • I disagree. Boomer execs only want one thing; money money money. The original fans of the series want a specific reboot that focuses on the vibe and feel of the original series. Boomers don't want that because then they can't have a 8 to 9 figure return. This was canceled because of greed. 
    • Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger by David Uzondu Image via Meta Meta is expanding Meta Business Agent, a feature that the social media giant promises will help businesses deliver "personalized experiences for customers using AI," launching the tech globally. Before this global release, Meta Business Agent used to be a free test called "Business AI" during a testing phase that started in October 2024. Meta picked India, Mexico, and Brazil to test the software, gathering data from over one million active shops that used the chat tools. The agent works on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, helping shops answer customer questions, check incoming leads, book appointments, and recommend products from a catalog. Meta said that the business agent can match your brand's unique tone when speaking to customers, and that it plans to improve the feature to handle "daily operations" like market research, product insights, calendars, and rival research. Soon, users will find these AI-supported shops easily by typing names in the WhatsApp search bar. Image via Meta Apart from the Business Agent, Meta is also introducing the Meta Business Agent Platform, a new agentic platform that provides the infrastructure needed to build, customize, and run virtual helpers at scale. With the Platform, companies link their bots to services like Shopify, Zendesk, and Shopee using firm-level controls, guardrails, and metrics to define strict rules. This setup lets coders build custom behaviors, keeping customers happy with direct answers. Speaking of agents, you might have heard that hackers recently broke into Instagram accounts by simply asking the Meta AI support assistant on the mobile app to hand over control. You can check out our coverage on that here.
