UFC welterweight champion Georges "Rush" St. Pierre notched himself another dominant victory this past Saturday night when he defeated Josh Koscheck by unanimous decision.

Following the impressive win, St. Pierre spoke to the media about his next fight, which UFC President Dana White announced would be Jake Shields. White also announced that evening that the UFC would finally be heading to Toronto for UFC 131, a bit of news that excited the promotion's French-Canadian 170-pound kingpin.

"I would love [to fight at UFC 131], but it depends on the boss. If the boss wants it, I'm in," St. Pierre said.

UFC 131 will be going down this April 30th at the Rogers Centre and it is being widely speculated that St. Pierre and Shields will have their meeting on that card. On fighting Shields, St. Pierre expressed an almost equal amount of excitement as he did at the prospect of fighting in Toronto.

"I like watching [shields] fight," he said. "He's a very meticulous fighter. He's a very technical guy. He's a brilliant submission artist. I like to see him. He's one of the guy I like to see the most.

St. Pierre explained his admiration for the Cesar Gracie product, stating that the laundry list of big wins at both welterweight and middleweight that Shields has strung together are deserving of serious respect.

"He beat up guys at 170 and almost everybody at 185. He fights in both weight classes. He's amazing," the champ asserted.

Shields has also expressed interest in fighting on the Toronto card and "Rush" revealed that he escaped the fight without injury and can begin training again right away. Shields is believed by many to be the last obstacle standing in between St. Pierre and UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva; talk of a superfight between Silva and St. Pierre escalated following "Rush's" UFC 124 victory, but he has a stiff test in front of him in Jake Shields that he must pass before getting a shot at "The Spider."

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
