i'm glad to see it on FOX but they dropped the ball on this one. You're not going to get anyone else interested in UFC if they watch for an hour to see 1 minute of action. They should have shown some of the other fights they had through out the night. If their contract with UFC only allows 1 fight a night, FOX got screwed.

I really don't care about UFC being on Fox, but it was nice to see Junior knock out Cain. I imagine the rematch will be a completely different fight.

I dont think they dropped the ball at all. This was a pre show to get interest out there. They showed a heavy weight fight, that ended in a knock out. Always exciting! The reason for a one hour show with only one fight was because their deal doesnt start till next year. The next one will have more than one fight for sure. JDS is awesome, I was excited to see that over hand right come in heavy!

The problem is that most people that aren't really familiar with it thought it was a waste of time. I heard a few people in the bar I was at complaining about watching an hour long show for less than 1 round of fighting, said they didn't see what the big fuss about MMA is. I wish it would have went longer also but that was a helluva punch. I just hope the next show on FOX has multiple fights so poeple can really see how amazing these athletes are.

looks like dana is saying 2 hours and 4 fights for the first fox show next year! I could see how non fans could have a hard time swallowing it, but theyll come around if they have the potential to be fans.

The actual contract agreement with Fox doesn't even start until 2012. After 2012 ALL PPV prelim fights will be on either FX or FUEL TV. Also, the Ultimate Fighter Show will be on FX with a LIVE fight EVERY Friday. I see the Cain/JDS fight as a lose lose. If the fight goes 5 rounds and ends in a decision, then the new fans or casual fans complain about how boring it was and if it ended as it did they complain about how short it was. Those of us who have been following the UFC since its inception and I'm not talking about the UFC after the first Ultimate Fighter show knows that these things happen. I personally watched a hockey game all the way up until the fight started to skip all the BS beforehand.

Any MMA fans on the site?

 

How about that JDS!? dominated cain in 64 seconds.

I was very happy to seen Junior to win.

Hoping to see Lesnar beat Overeem!!!!!!!! WARRR

 

 

If Brock can take him to the ground right away he should have a chance. If not, he's going to turtle up once he starts getting hit like he did against Cain Velasquez. Overeem is one of the best kickboxers in MMA and is a feared and very brutal striker. The fight starts standing at the beginning of every round, best game plan for Brock is to shoot right away and take him down.

 

Alistair Overeem wins this by brutal KO!

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
