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.

 

With his physique, he looked like a bargain bin James Thompson. And performed the same job function.

Nevada State Athletic Commission bans TRT, urges fellow athletic commissions to follow

 

A bold move certainly, but nothing special (it's a single AC and many states have totally incompetent ones) but...

 

Dana White says UFC will no longer allow TRT, 'couldn't wait for that garbage to go away'

 

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye.

 

I expect to see Frank Mir, Dan Henderson, Bigfoot Silva and many others announcing their retirement or moving to ONE FC or Bellator in the coming weeks.

The TUF China Finale is tomorrow and... it's a completely meh card, despite some fun fights.

 

Main card (UFC Fight Pass)
Dong Hyun Kim (171) vs. John Hathaway (171)
Sai Wang (170) vs. Lipeng Zhang (170)
Matt Mitrione (260) vs. Shawn Jordan (261)
Hatsu Hioki (146) vs. Ivan Menjivar (146)

 

Undercard (UFC Fight Pass at 5:45 a.m.)
Kazuki Tokudome (155) vs. Yui Chul Nam (154)
Nam Phan (136) vs. Vaughan Lee (136)
Albert Cheng (170) vs. Anying Wang (171)
Jumabieke Tuerxum (145) vs. Mark Eddiva (145)

 

Mitrione vs Jordan should be fun, albeit short. Phan vs Lee should be interesting as well. Kim shouldn't have any trouble with Hathaway, but it can turn into a long 5 round grinding affair.

Rampage still thinking he's relevant is the funniest MMA thing I ever saw. However, King Mo's fight was still laughable.

 

Both fights were terrible. Zayats gassed like a punctured balloon but Lawal had nothing for him. His takedowns were stuffed easily and he couldn't generate any offense unless Zayats stayed still. And 30-27 on the cards? What?

 

As for Rampage, M'Pumbu's record is a win over a very young Stefan Struve and a steady diet of M-1 and Bellator cans. He's very tall for his weight but has to idea how to use it. Any other fighter would've kicked Rampage's legs into oblivion before he could close the distance. I don't have the slightest idea on how Bellator will move on after Rampage fights Lawal. Bonus points if it's a 5 round gassfest and then Attila Vegh comes in and breaks the "winner" in half.

Today! (No one cares!)

 

Fight Pass main card:

Alexander Gustafsson (204) vs. Jimi Manuwa (205) - Light heavyweight
Michael Johnson (155) vs. Melvin Guillard (156) - Lightweight
Brad Pickett (125) vs. Neil Seery (125) - Flyweight
Gunnar Nelson (170) vs. Omari Akhmedov (170) - Welterweight

Fight Pass preliminary card:

Cyrille Diabate (205) vs. Ilir Latifi (205) - Light heavyweight
Luke Barnatt (186) vs. Mats Nilsson (184) - Middleweight
Bradley Scott (186) vs. Claudio Henrique da Silva (185) - Middleweight
David Grant (136) vs. Roland Delorme (134) - Bantamweight
Igor Araujo (171) vs. Danny Mitchell (170) - Welterweight
Phil Harris (125) vs. Louis Gaudinot (126) - Flyweight

 

Utterly ridiculous card that puts a true contender headlining a Fight Pass event and buries two possible Flyweight contenders, one of them to the deepest depths of the card.

UFC 171 is this weekend. Strongest card of the year so far, stacked to the gills.

Sources say Dana White is going to sit down the Holly Holm to hammer out a deal with her (management).

Tonight!

Johny Hendricks (171.5 on first attempt, 170 on second attempt) vs. Robbie Lawler (170) - Welterweight championship bout
Carlos Condit (170.5) vs. Tyron Woodley (170) - Welterweight
Diego Sanchez (155) vs. Myles Jury (156) - Lightweight
Jake Shields (171) vs. Hector Lombard (170) - Welterweight
Ovince St. Preux (205) vs. Nikita Krylov (205) - Light heavyweight

 

FS1 preliminary card:

Kelvin Gastelum (172.5 on first attempt, 172 on second attempt, 171 on third attempt) vs. Rick Story (170.5) - Welterweight
Raquel Pennington (135.5) vs. Jessica Andrade (135) - Women's bantamweight
Dennis Bermudez (146) vs. Jim Hettes (145.5) - Featherweight
Sean Spencer (170) vs. Alex Garcia (170.5) - Welterweight

 

Fight Pass prelims:

Renee Forte (157) vs. Frank Trevino (155) - Lightweight

Bubba McDaniel (184.5) vs. Sean Strickland (185) - Middleweight
Daniel Pineda (145) vs. Robert Whiteford (145) - Featherweight

 

Hendricks made 170 on his second try. This card was pretty close to getting tanked by 1,5lbs. This is going to be a great night of fights! :drool:

Holly Holm is a monster, hope she gets snapped up by UFC soon, bit of a challenge for Rousey.

 

Cant wait for tonight, STACKED!!

 

Lawler for the belt ;)

 

She's a fun action fight, but let's not kid ourselves. She has nothing for Ronda on the ground and 1st round armbar would be the most likely outcome.

 

As for tonight, I'll admit I was concerned when Hendricks hit 171.5 on the first try. Maybe something was off with the scale at their hotel. He made 170 in the end so the title fight is on. Would I like Lawler to win? Sure. Will he? I don't think so.

 

Why Lawler? Because

Good night of fights, gutted Lawler didnt win - Hendricks did well though to stay in it he was noticeably wobbled on at least 2 occasions..

 

Lawler somehow lacked clutch instinct. He was tagging Hendricks easily, Hendricks' eye was pretty much shut. He could've put Hendricks down for the count in the 4th had he gone all out and put himself on the line. He chose the "safe" path of winning by decision and lost by a round.

 

It was a good night of fights but some moments were ridiculous. There was a judge that kept messing up the scorecards by either giving 29-28's where 30-27 should've been and vice-versa. Lombard looked ridiculous. The only thing more ridiculous than him was Jake Shields who could've won that fight easily had he, well, tried to fight or something. Lombard was so scared of gassing himself out that he psyched himself out. Luckily, he was fighting Shields. Put him in against Ellenberger and if the fights lasts longer than 2 minutes, he's getting KTFO. Jessica Andrade won a gift decision by the Leonard Garcia criteria. She was moving forward but getting tagged in the face every time. Judging just keeps getting worse :crazy:

UFC star Ronda Rousey open to pro wrestling but doubtful it ever happens

"It's fun, it's cool. We're all big fans in the house and the 'Rowdy' in my name comes from 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper. I came into the gym and she was just leaving. And I just walked in; I hadn't even warmed up, that was the first thing I did that day, by the way. She kept talking about it, she was like 'oh we should do quick little pro wrestling spots'. Because I like making up little fight scenes and all this stuff all the time. So we just made up that one little clip and we think we're going to just keep elaborating on it as like a Four Horsewomen storyline of how the argument started. That would probably be like I would need to go to the bathroom and she was in there and told me to go screw myself and then I end up jumping her in the gym. It's more like, It's just for fun for us right now. Professionally, who knows? Me and all the girls are huge fans. If they were all down to do something, I'd probably be happy to jump in with them. But I have the most hectic schedule ever with the fights and the movies right now and adding a whole other career on top of that is a tall order."

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
