Just heard about Bellator 138 over the weekend; Ken Shamrock vs. Kimbo Slice as the main event and a lot of people are screaming "FIX!". What do you all think?

 

Bellator wasn't in on it, but it's clearly a fix. Choke in, hooks in, Kimbo doesn't know how to defend, and Ken just gives it up. Meh, dominating position? Who needs it.

UFC 190 bout order is set. Ronda is going to trounce Correia. Looking forward to seeing Jessica Aguilar's debut fight.

 

Main card:
Ronda Rousey vs. Bethe Correia
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Mauricio Rua
Fernando Bruno vs. Glaico Franca
Dileno Lopes vs. Reginaldo Vieira
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Stefan Struve
Antonio Silva vs. Soa Palelei
Jessica Aguilar vs. Claudia Gadelha

 

Undercard:
Neil Magny vs. Demian Maia
Patrick Cummins vs. Rafael Cavalcante
Nordine Taleb vs. Warlley Alves
Leandro Issa vs. Iuri Alcantara
Clint Hester vs. Vitor Miranda
Guido Cannetti vs. Hugo Viana

Machida looked shot to ###### as soon as the 2nd round started. He should retire or just start fighting former champions at Franklinweight.

 

Also, Bellator 139 had a massive KO as well. Hisaki Kato, a MASSIVE underdog, pulled the upset.

If Mendes has been secretly preparing for this (because he knows Aldo is made of glass), Connor is going to have a very hard fight in his hands. Aldo would be hard as well, but he can't wrestle worth a damn. Will we be seeing the second TAM champion arise?

Gilbert Melendez fails UFC 188 drug test, suspended one year

 

 

... ######!

 

You were supposed to be the chosen one!!!!!!

 

Gilbert always seemed like a guy that could (once in a blue moon) get popped for weed. But exogenous testosterone in a fight that he lost to a badly injured Eddie Alvarez? Goddamn' it.

Biggest PPV of the year is coming up. Weigh-in is tomorrow. Very excited about this card. Solid, top to bottom. The only "blemish" I can point out is that Matt Brown is going to fight Tim Means in the prelims instead of Brandon Thatch on the Main Card. That would be a beautifully violent fight.
 

 

Main Card (PPV, 10 PM ET)

Conor McGregor (145) vs. Chad Mendes (144.5)
Robbie Lawler (169.5) vs. Rory MacDonald (170)
Dennis Bermudez (146) vs. Jeremy Stephens (149.5*)
Gunnar Nelson (169.5) vs. Brandon Thatch (170.5)
Thomas Almeida (136) vs. Brad Pickett (136)

 

Preliminary Card (FS1, 8 PM ET)

Matt Brown (171) vs. Tim Means (171)
Alex Garcia (171) vs. Mike Swick (170.5)
John Howard (170.5) vs. Cathal Pendred (171)
Henry Briones (136) vs. Cody Garbrandt (136)

 

Preliminary Card (Fight Pass, 7 PM ET)

Neil Seery (125.5) vs. Louis Smolka (126)
Yosdenis Cedeno (155) vs. Cody Pfister (156)

 

Everyone made weight, except for Jeremy Stephens. If he loses this fight, he's getting cut from the UFC for sure.

Gotta feel bad for Mendez, he's being used as a sacrificial lamb after Aldo pussied out of a real challenge 

 

The consensus #1 guy in the division that just couldn't fight Aldo in the near future because he had already lost twice, albeit the second time was pretty close?

 

That's not a sacrificial lamb. Sacrificial lambs are the TUF Latin America guys getting thrown to guys like Cody Garbrandt. Or Gunnar having to gameplan for Thatch on short notice.

 

Chad Mendes probably was keeping himself ready for this anyway because Aldo is notoriously brittle, despite his P4P greatness. It's a competitive fight. It's not a Invicta FC title mauling.

And this was just the second best knee on this card. Thomas Almeida proved that he is more than just a guy with a padded record crushing cans in regional shows. He is legit.

This is tomorrow and... nobody cares. It has received close to zero promotional stuff on the UFC's social media channels.

 

On the other hand... UFC 190 is going to be BIG. And UFC 189 was massive on the PPV side of things (the lower bound is 700k buys).

Main Card (8 PM ET, FOX)

T.J. Dillashaw (135) vs. Renan Barao (135)

Jessica Eye (136) vs. Miesha Tate (135.5)

Edson Barboza (155) vs. Paul Felder (155.5)

Takanori Gomi (155.5) vs. Joe Lauzon (155.5)

 

Preliminary Card (6 PM ET, FOX)

Tom Lawlor (203) vs. Gian Villante (205)

Danny Castillo (155.5) vs. Jim Miller (155)

Kenny Robertson (170) vs. Ben Saunders (170.5)

Bryan Caraway (135.5) vs. Eddie Wineland (136)

 

Preliminary Card (4 PM ET, Fight Pass)

Daron Cruickshank (155) vs. James Krause (155.5)

Andrew Holbrook (155.5) vs. Ramsey Nijem (156)

Jessamyn Duke (135.5) vs. Elizabeth Phillips (135)

Zak Cummings (170.5) vs. Dominique Steele (170.5)

    • 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
