And that card just went from 1 million buys to 300K buys tops with Mighty Mouse as the Main Event. Also, Gus gets the short end of the stick as the fight was his to begin with and Cormier stepped in on short notice due to his injury.

Step in Conor McGregor to save the show, if he wasnt fighting on the same card then it'd definitely be a flop

 

Dominick Cruz is co-headliner. There is still plenty of time for him to get injured peeling an apple. Also, Green vs Masvidal is buried in the prelims for no good reason as Green's win over Josh Thomson puts him on the cusp of breaking into the Top 5.

Reality TV star Dog the Bounty Hunter says he's 'coming after' wanted War Machine

Former UFC and Bellator fighter Jon Koppenhaver, more familiarly known as "War Machine", is currently wanted on 7 charges issued by Las Vegas authorities, including battery, domestic violence, and assault with a deadly weapon after a horrific alleged beating of ex-girlfriend Christy Mack.

There's a $10,000 reward for Koppenhaver's capture, and famed reality TV star Dog the Bounty Hunter has offered his services if he does not turn himself in within the next several hours:

Heh Jones is scared of Cormier for some reason, seems the only reason for his actions 

 

What actions? Ubereem has a history of injuring training partners. Jones had some bad luck. Gustafsson is a much bigger threat to Jones than Cormier. Consider that Cormier is carrying around a bum knee (don't know if he'll get it fixed now that the fight has been postponed) and has fought Patrick Cummins and a totally shot Dan Henderson at LHW. If Shogun wasn't shot to hell as well, I would love to see him take a crack at DC before the Bones fight.

Bellator releases lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez

 

YES!

 

I sure hope Dana gives him the same deal they offered him before (not likely at all). I'm going to be crazy and say that they should put him in against Khabib Nurmagomedov ASAP.

UFC 177 is completely melting down. Cejudo is off the card due to weight cutting issues and... Renan Bar?o as well. Joe Soto steps up to the plate to fight TJ Dillashaw. This is going to be a massacre.

Carano got noticed by Hollywood and is now putting her good looks into use. I doubt that she will return to MMA and risk all that getting smashed around for a much smaller payday.

Equal oportunities: if women want to fight, let them fight. They shouldn't be confined only to the kitchen. Gina Carano used her MMA career to make the jump into starring in B-Movies and TV with American Gladiators.

not equal unless men can also against women...just saying....I think well trainned women have more than a good enough chance for the title

Cain is made of glass and therefore out of UFC 180.

 

Mark Hunt vs Fabr?cio Werdum for the interim HW title :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: Oh lordie...

Did they actually officially announce it as an interim title fight? Regardless, this will still be an interesting fight. Mark Hunt says he has forty pounds to lose by then. Are you kidding me? Come on, big boy.

Yes, it's officialy an interim title fight. The card is falling appart at a record pace, but Werdum vs Hunt will hold it together (provided it happens).

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
