that's insane, this is clearly going to be the biggest PPV of year maybe ever!

Live gate, sure. PPV results.... hummm. Don't know. Even Bones vs Shogun did just OK on the PPV front. Lesnar vs JDS will probably sell more PPV even if the card isn't as stacked (from a MMA-as-sport perspective).

OMG CAN'T WAIT!

Got the event ordered, sitting at work now just waiting to go home. Have a bunch of people coming over to see GSP defend his title!

I gots to cheer the under dog on...I always do in the hope that not everything goes by the script :p

Are you going to cheer for Okami as well? After seeing what GSP did to Koscheck's eye and since Jake Shields doesn't have good striking skills (which is odd considering he trains with Nick Diaz) and is at his best at MW, I just don't see it going his way.

I was cheering for Belfort but yeah we all know how that went....I live in the belief that UFC is sometimes unpredictable and that Shields could somehow find a way but yeah its 85% sure GSP will pwn him.

I predict Jake Shields to win via rear naked choke in Round 2. Well, I hope for this...haha. I think it is possible. Down with GSP!

Possible? Sure. But if Jake ends up winning and if it is by submission, I doubt it will be with something as dominating as a RNC. An sneaky armbar or triangle would be more likely.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays.
