Tomorrow. Dana White said that if Rumble missed weight, he would be banned for life from the UFC. Luckily for both of them (this card would tank even harder without that co-main), he didn't.

 

Main card (PPV at 10 p.m. ET)
Jon Jones (205) vs. Glover Teixeira (205)
Phil Davis (205.5) vs. Anthony Johnson (205)
Luke Rockhold (185.5) vs. Tim Boetsch (185.5)
Jim Miller (155) vs. Yancy Medeiros (155.5)
Max Holloway (145) vs. Andre Fili (145)

 

Undercard (FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET)
Joseph Benavidez (125.5) vs. Tim Elliott (125.5)
Takanori Gomi (155.5) vs. Isaac Vallie-Flagg (155.5)
Jessamyn Duke (135.5) vs. Bethe Correia (135)
Danny Castillo (156) vs. Charlie Brenneman (155.5)

 

Prelims (UFC Fight Pass at 7:30 p.m. ET)
Chris Beal (135) vs. Patrick Williams (135)

 

Benavidez fighting on the undercard is almost criminal, but the main card is pretty full. At least he gets the top spot. Gomi is getting a 50% gimme fight. Andre "Touchy" Fili has one of the best nicknames in MMA today (and he's a good, albeit green, fighter)

 

 

That was kind of crappy but he corrected himself after the warning and just palmed the forehead. Frustrating, yes. But not illegal. Looks just like in the movies, where someone keeps a kid at arms length.

Chad Mendes is a beast.

Also Brown vs Silva is tonight. Expect fireworks.

Main Card
Matt Brown (170.5) vs. Erick Silva (170.5)
Lorenz Larkin (185.5) vs. Constantinos Philippou (185)
Daron Cruickshank (156) vs. Erik Koch (155)
Neil Magny (170.5) vs. Tim Means (170)
Soa Palelei (263) vs. Ruan Potts (244)
Chris Cariaso (125.5) vs. Louis Smolka (126)

Preliminary Card
Ed Herman (185) vs. Rafael Natal (185.5)
Kyoji Horiguchi (125) vs. Darrell Montague (125)
Yan Cabral (170.5) vs. Zak Cummings (169.5)
Johnny Eduardo (136) vs. Eddie Wineland (136)
Manny Gamburyan (145.5) vs. Nik Lentz (145)
Justin Salas (155.5) vs. Ben Wall (155)
Anthony Lapsley (174*) vs. Albert Tumenov (170.5)

 

If Brown wins, he's on a 7 fight win-streak with (at least) 5 finishes. Amazing for a guy that was 12-11 and fighting for his job. He should also find himself 1 or 2 fights away from a title shot.

Matt Brown vs. Erick Silva was BADASS!

 

Silva could've easily won if had an ounce of fight IQ. Brown was clearly hurt from the body shots. He just needed to get some distance and shoot them back. He let himself get shredded in the clinch.

Bellator 120: LOL.

 

Rampage "won". Michael Chandler got robbed and blew up the Alvarez trilogy. Tito was getting DESTROYED until he got Shlemenko and used his massive size advantage to effortlessly sink in a choke. Michael Page is hilarious.

Good Bellator.. Knew id seen the name Michael Page before, always an entertainin performance!

 

Tito's victory was alright, the weight difference didnt help Shlemenko at all.

 

Suprised Rampage won, didnt think it was going to happen but so glad it did haha King Mo's face said it all! A few dubious decisions mind, I wasnt too convinced Ill Will won either..

Their reaction was a pretty clear work. The fight wasn't but it sucked anyway. Rampage wins and immediately wants a rematch instead of the belt? FEIKE!

Tonight.

Main Card
Renan Barao (135) vs. T.J. Dillashaw (135)
Daniel Cormier (205) vs. Dan Henderson (199)
Jake Ellenberger (171) vs. Robbie Lawler (171)
Takeya Mizugaki (135) vs. Francisco Rivera (135)
James Krause (156) vs. Jamie Varner (155)

Preliminary Card
Michael Chiesa (156) vs. Francisco Trinaldo (155)
Tony Ferguson (155) vs. Katsunori Kikuno (155)
Chico Camus (135) vs. Chris Holdsworth (135)
Mitch Clarke (155) vs. Al Iaquinta (155)
Anthony Njokuani (155) vs. Vinc Pichel (155)
Aaron Phillips (145) vs. Sam Sicilia (146)
Jingliang Li (170) vs. David Michaud (171)

 

Some relevant fights but the card isn't really fit for PPV. It's more of a FOX card than anything.

Yeh definitely agree there!

 

Hope Hendo bangs out Cormier :D

 

Not likely to happen. TRT-less Henderson is a tad undersized at LHW, especially compared to Cormier. If Cormier tangled with the Warmaster and came out on top, unless Hendon knocks his block off in the first round, it's 30-27 all the way.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
