A lot of folks were complaining about Arlovski's split decision win over Brendon Schaub. Sure, it wasn't the greatest fight, but Arlovski held him to the cage for the first 2 rounds and Schaub didn't really do anything to counter it. I gave the first 2 rounds to Arlovski and the 3rd to Schaub.

 

We all lost with that fight. I knew the Main event was going to be a 50-45 after the first punch was thrown. Mighty Mouse is the flyweight Dominick Cruz. Lean, quick, not very mean, gameplan executing, outpointing machine.

UFC 174 BOMBED hard on the PPV numbers. Like under 100K hard :| :|  That's crazy.

 

Now we have a couple of foreign Fight Night cards until the strongest card of this summer, UFC 175: Weidman vs. Machida, which is stacked to the gills.

So, tomorrow we get treated to a double night of fights on fight pass, starting with UFC Fight Night 43 a.k.a UFC Fight Night: Te Huna vs. Marquardt.

 

Terrible card, top to bottom, filled with guys coming in on loses, recent hires, Nate Marquardt trying to save his career at MW again, Neil Magny burried in the undercard and a single semi-relevant fight between Hioki and Oliveira. Also, 80+% of the fighters don't even have a Wikipedia page. Ohhhhh, UFC :rolleyes:

 

Everyone made weight, so we are good to go on this front. Who knows, it might end up being fun. Every fight is on Fight Pass.

 

Main card (UFC Fight Pass at 5 a.m. ET)
James Te Huna (186) vs. Nate Marquardt (186)
Soa Palelei (264) vs. Jared Rosholt (259)
Hatsu Hioki (146) vs. Charles Oliveira (145)
Robert Whittaker (171) vs. Mike Rhodes (171)

 

Undercard (UFC Fight Pass at 2:30 a.m. ET)
Jake Matthews (156) vs. Dashon Johnson (155)

Dan Hooker (145) vs. Ian Entwistle (145.5)
Gian Villante (205.5) vs. Sean O'Connell (205)

And now the interesting one, UFC Fight Night 44 a.k.a. UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Stephens.

 

Lots of interesting fights at FW, Joe Ellenberger finally makes his debut and an interesting undercard.

 

Main Card (Fox Sports 1)

Cub Swanson (145) vs. Jeremy Stephens (145)
Kelvin Gastelum (173*) vs. Nicholas Musoke (171)
Cezar Ferreira (186) vs. Andrew Craig (186)
Ricardo Lamas (146) vs. Hacran Dias (146)
Clint Hester (186.5 on first try, stripped and reweighed at 186) vs. Antonio Braga Neto (185)
Joe Ellenberger (155.5) vs. James Moontasri (156)

 

Preliminary Card (Fox Sports 1)

Colton Smith (156)  vs. Carlos Diego Ferreira (155)
Johnny Bedford (136) vs. Cody Gibson (135)
Marcelo Guimaraes (186) vs. Andy Enz (186)
Ray Borg (126) vs. Shane Howell (125.5)

 

Preliminary Card (UFC Fight Pass)

Oleksiy Oliynyk (240) vs. Anthony Hamilton (253)

 

* Kelvin has 2 hours to lose the 2 extra pounds.

First card is pretty weak..

 

It's a terrible card supporting a terrible idea of double header events on Fight Pass. I would prefer a single decent card on Fight Pass to this.

 

But, hey, it might end up being fun or having a ton of finishes. It has 10 fights so it's not too long, but if it gets 8 decisions, terrible ones at that... :rolleyes:

First card is pretty weak..

 

Fight Night 44 was going OK... and then, BAM!, decisions, decisions, decisions.

 

Let's focus again on the cards that matter.

UFC's Fourth of July card. Stacked.

UFC and Fox terminate relationship with Chael Sonnen following second failed drug test in 2014

 

Even Sonnen can't explain away a positive test for EPO as something "benign, prescribed for other conditions".

 

Seems like he chose a bad week to retire.

Yeh, pretty disappointing all round.

 

This next one however :drool:

UFC 176: Jose Aldo injured, out of main event

 

Aldo is made of glass, damn it! :angry:

Are you ###### me?? :|

Report: Eddie Alvarez cancels Asian tour for 'emergency' meeting with Bellator, is he UFC bound?

 

Now that Coker is at the helm, maybe Alvarez can finally get his goddamn break in the UFC. I'd wager that Pettis, who is made of glass like Aldo, is also injured and will do TUF just because of contract implications. Melendez vs Alvarez for the title after TUF.

 

Oh, one can dream.

Ronda Rousey rolls with Ryron Gracie ahead of UFC 175

 

Take the video with a LOT of salt. Andr? Galv?o couldn't submit Ryron within 20 minutes. He's that good of a grappler and this is an highlight reel to hype up a fight. An unedited clip of that would be something great to look at.

 

The only way she's fighting Carano is in a food battle. Carano is way out of shape, probably 2 years out of combat ready shape for a competitive match.

Thiago Alves injured, Brandon Thatch now fights Jordan Mein at UFC Fight Night: Tulsa

 

Thatch is finally back!!! And Mein is just the kind of guy that is stupid enough to try and throw down with him. This is going to be very good!

UFC 175 features Urijah Faber fighting on the undercard, nevermind fighting Caceres. Granted he said he doesn't get PPV points anyway so fighting on FS1 isn't that bad but still, Marcus Brimage is on the Main Card and he got trucked in his last fight against Conor McGregor. And he's fighting Russell Doane, a guy on his 2nd UFC fight with his first being on a Fight Pass exclusive card :wacko:

 

Main card (PPV at 10 p.m. ET)
Chris Weidman vs. Lyoto Machida
Ronda Rousey vs. Alexis Davis
Stefan Struve vs. Matt Mitrione
Uriah Hall vs. Thiago Santos
Marcus Brimage vs. Russell Doane

Luke Zachrich (185) vs. Guilherme Vasconcelos (185)
Kevin Casey (185) vs. Bubba Bush (185)

 

Everyone made weight, we're ON! And I just realized that there's almost a "double" feature: TUF 19 Finale is on Sunday. Why do it back to back with one of the biggest PPV of the year? Beats me, UFC is going insane in the membrane with their schedule here. Here is that card (no weight-ins yet, bonus snafu if B.J misses weight)

 

Main Card (FOX Sports 1, 9 PM ET/6 PM PT)

Frankie Edgar  vs. B.J. Penn - Only fight that even remotely matters, but not really.
Corey Anderson  vs. Matt Van Buren  (TUF light heavyweight final)
Eddie Gordon  vs. Dhiego Lima  (TUF middleweight final)
Derrick Lewis  vs. Guto Inocente
Justin Scoggins  vs. Dustin Ortiz

 

Preliminary Card (FOX Sports 1, 7 PM ET/4 PM PT)

Jumabieke Tuerxun  vs. Leandro Issa
Adriano Martins  vs. Juan Manuel Puig

Preliminary Card (UFC Fight Pass, 6 PM ET/3 PM PT)

Sarah Moras  vs. Alexis Dufresne

    • 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/
