Proven Advanced Computer Technology is Picking Nick Diaz to Beat Carlos Condit Saturday Night

(Video courtesy of YouTube/THQ)

OK, we lied. THQ just let a couple of its interns fight each other in UFC: Undisputed 3 and the one using Nick Diaz won against Carlos Condit. There’s nothing scientific about their method that they claim is a result of a computer simulated formula, but in their defense they have been pretty damn accurate with their last few picks.

The CPU had Jones winning against Machida, Overeem beating Lesnar, Aldo over Mendes, Sonnen taking out Bisping and Evans defeating Davis, even though the methods of winning weren’t accurately predicted.

One thing is for sure, they were bang-on accurate with Mike Goldberg’s choppy Yoda-esque introduction of the fighters.

Goldberg does sound like a robot and bender would spice it up with joe (no homo) game looks better with every edition. Cant say id use it for a tip guesser machine. Purchase on sight though.

Goldberg is a goddamn robot. They should let Bender get in there and announce some of the fights. This fancy machine predicts the winners of fights? I'm gonna bet the house that Condit buys the farm.

@Terry Etim, your post sounds like a winner to me. you don't need a jay in the front, all you need is a glory hole, stick your head into the window of someone's car & ask for a kiss. rinse first though. both sheep & Penguins do it, heck bonobos are born for it & that's evolution maybe. when you have your own house you never use the front door do you. always the back.

They really captured Diaz's Geico caveman brow line well.

1. MorF - A person free of apparent sexual classification traits including but not limited to facial hair, breasts, Adam's apple, and gender-specific clothing. Derived from the customary question to other onlookers: Male or Female?

Note: This term does not imply that the allegedly gender-neutral person can tangibly "morph" from one sex to another, but only that they may appear to modulate in gender over time.
Randy: "Miguel, is that a male or female?"
James: "He's definitely a...wait, she's a woman...maybe..."
Miguel: "No, actually, I think it's a MorF."

Morph - verb - to transform completely in appearance and character.

Sorry I'm in a shitty mood today.

Time of the win for Diaz was 4:20 of round 2. This AI knows what it is doing.

Hey you condescending cynic, they didnt have two interns fight it out, and it IS the result of a computer simulation. They had the computer AI play both fighters in 25 fights and chose the winner by the average.

i want to applaud the cagepotato UI/UX team for their well achieved goal of forcing new content updates below the fold of their shit "magazine layout" attempt.
.
nothing says well executed design like forcing your users to scroll down to see if there's anything new every time they arrive at the site.
.
not that anyone should have solved this, or the numerous other design and interface problems, nay accomplishments, plaguing this site as far back as the drupal days.
