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.

    • 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/
    • 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.
