Tonight! The sequel to one of the greatest, if not the greatest, fights of 2011*, it's Shogun vs Henderson 2 in Somewhere, Brazil.

 

Main Card:
Dan Henderson (202) vs. Mauricio Rua (205)
C.B. Dollaway (184) vs. Cezar Ferreira (185)
Norman Parke (156) vs. Leonardo Santos (155)
Fabio Maldonado (203) vs. Gian Villante (204)
Michel Prazeres (155) vs. Mairbek Taisumov (155)
Rony Jason (145) vs. Steven Siler (146)

Preliminary Card:
Diego Brandao (144) vs. Will Chope (146) - This fight got canned as the UFC cut Chope on the spot due to finding out he had a bad-conduct discharge from the USAF for domestic violence.
Ronny Markes (190)* vs. Thiago Santos (183)
Jussier Formiga (125) vs. Scott Jorgensen (125)
Thiago Perpetuo (170) vs. Kenny Robertson (171)
Noad Lahat (145) vs. Godofredo Pepey (145)
Francimar Barroso (204) vs. Hans Stringer (204)

 

*That everyone was asking for in 2012, 2013 but not so much in 2014.

Wow... wasn't expecting that finish! Shogun was all over him and easily had a 2 round lead. Really thought he was gonna take this. Not sure if Hendo has got it in him to challenge for the title, but I think this pretty much ends Shogun's chances of another shot with the upper end of the division being so stacked.

That was AWESOME! Hendo just crushed Shogun's face in. Still, I don't think he has what it takes to fight Bones. Sure, they can put it on PPV and sell it. But Bones wouldn't have let this fight get to the 3rd or even the 2nd. As for Shogun, this just might be the damage that puts him over the hedge and into retirement.

 

The overall card ended up being pretty cool, despite looking bland on paper.

 

The Pepey knee was something special. Definetely enters the flying knee Hall of Fame with the Jos? Aldo's kneee that murdered Cub Swanson.


 

Great, another paper tiger. So... uninjured champions are pretty much Ronda (can sell PPV), Bones (????), Mighty Mouse (can't sell a PPV to save his life) and Renan Bar?o (nop!).

 

Just great :rolleyes:

Whats this a come out of retirement fight?

 

 

Damn, BJ retired twice already, didn't he?

 

B.J. is always 50% retired. That's when Fat B.J. shows up to fight and gets trucked by Rory and gets a draw against Jon Fitch after winning rounds.

 

B.J., who always had trouble making weight because he likes to pig out between fights, is now dropping to Featherweight (145lbs!) to fight Edgar. A guy he couldn't match the speed of at 155, mind you, and is even faster at 145. Oh boy, it's going to be fun. But the thing is, deep down, B.J. pulls in the views. Frankie Edgar can't sell a PPV or even a free card. B.J. can sell fights. And that's why the UFC keeps betting on him. If he can scrape by a couple of wins at FW, who knows? At least he's not prone to being always injured like the current glass cannon champions, he's just prone to get fat. Maybe they'll have nutritionist to the stars (but not really certified for it) Mike Dolce shadow him 24/7.

 

In other news, UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs Shogun 2 pulled almost a million viewers :|  On a free card, on Brazil time. What is this, bizarro world? (Pro tip: Henderson sells, duh! And will probably leapfrog Bjornes to get trucked by Jones and make bank for the UFC).

 

And the best news of the day, John Dodson vs. John Moraga is booked for UFC Fight Night in Albuquerque. YEAH! :woot:

Haha amazing, get real refs bellator!

 

UFC doesnt need BJ anymore though for sales, bit of a random one!

 

List 10 other guys than can headline or co-headline a PPV and move the needle at LW. Heck, 8. I'll wait.

Bantamweight champion Renan Barao will now face TJ Dillashaw as the new main event for UFC 173, May 24th in Las Vegas

 

Which is kind of ###### since Raphael Assun??o beat TJ and TJ is only on a 1 fight win streak against a downward moving Mike Easton. But, since Raphael Assun??o is injured, sometimes you gotta make chicken salad out of chicken ######. (Brock Lesnar dixit)

Heck, even Takeya Mizugaki, who is finally on a win streak, would be a better pick sportswise. PPV saleswise, doesn't matter, event is going to tank HARD.

Surprise, surprise!

Paul Harris def. Steve Carl via submission (inverted heel hook) at 1:09 of round one

 

Sure, invite Paul Harris into your guard WHERE HE CAN GRAB YOUR LEGS. What an idiot. :rolleyes:

    • 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.
    • 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. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
