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)

    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
