Millions of Users Can Trade Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), XRP on Brave Browser Through New Binance Integration – The Daily Hodl

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

Crypto trading giant Binance and privacy-focused Brave browser have collaborated on a new integration that allows Brave users to trade cryptocurrencies through Binance.

According to the announcement,

The new Binance widget in the new tab page of the Brave desktop browser makes Brave the only browser that offers integrated functionality for buying and trading cryptocurrency. With the Binance widget, Brave users can access the Binance.com and Binance.US (for US-based users) sites, buy and sell crypto assets, view asset balances, and obtain deposit addresses all without leaving the browser.

Says Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao,

The Binance widget on Braves privacy-oriented browser instills a safer way to buy and sell crypto and also reduces user friction to onboard, trade and interact with the Binance ecosystem.

The widget will allow Brave users to buy, deposit, trade and manage leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin and other altcoins supported by Binance.

The Brave browser, which combines privacy with a blockchain-based digital advertising platform, has roughly 8.7 million monthly active users across the globe.

Unlike the dominant competitor Google Chrome, which tracks you and your browsing history, Brave blocks trackers, ads and third-party cookies, making it an attractive option, particularly for cryptocurrency users who support decentralized platforms, privacy protection and networking options beyond the control of big tech.

The Best and Worse that Could Happen to Ethereum, XRP, and Litecoin – Crypto Briefing

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

While it is unclear where the markets will ultimately go, it is ideal to gather perspective on the best and worst-case scenarios for the top three altcoins by market capEthereum, XRP, and Litecointo protect against uncertainty.

The meltdown seen across most financial markets, including the cryptocurrency industry, sent investors into a state of panic. But what about altcoins?

Over the past week, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index (CFGI) has been indicating extreme levels of fear in the cryptocurrency market.

This fundamental indicator analyzes emotion and sentiment among investors from different sources, such as volatility, social media posts, and trends.

Based on these data sets, the CFGI recently reached a value of 8 (extreme fear), which is the lowest it has been since August 2019.

The high level of commotion in the market appears to be related to the probability that most digital assets in the industry could experience a further decline. In fact, the top three altcoins by market capitalizationEthereum, XRP, and Litecoinare developing massive bearish patterns within their respective weekly charts that could be catastrophic to many portfolios.

Ethereum, for instance, seems to be forming a symmetrical triangle on its 1-week chart that suggests an 83% retracement upon the breakout point. This target is given by measuring the distance between the initial high and low of the pattern and adding it to the breakout point.

A break below the lower trendline of the symmetrical triangle could trigger a full-blown trend reversal from bullish to bearish taking ETH to $24.5 or $20.5.

Along the same lines, Ripples XRP appears to be sitting on top of white space, according to 45-year trading veteran Peter Brandt.

A spike in the selling pressure behind this cryptocurrency around the current price levels could see it plummet to $0.061, $0.031, or even $0.009.

Meanwhile, Litecoin could be creating a descending triangle in its weekly chart as a direct consequence of its price action since mid-2018. A descending trendline can be drawn around the series of lower highs while a horizontal support line connects the swing lows.

This bearish formation suggests that LTC could see its price depreciate by 90% following a weekly candlestick close below the $25.5 support level. Such a downward impulse could see Litecoin go as low as $2.5 if the pattern is validated.

This target is determined by measuring the height of the descending triangle at its thickest point and adding that distance to the breakout point.

Although most financial markets around the world have suffered from the widespread transmission of coronavirus and the disagreement sparked between OPEC and Russia, the recent downturn could represent an opportunity to be greedy when others are fearful.

Under this premise, a sudden spike in demand for Ether could see its price bounce off the lower trendline of the symmetrical triangle to the upper boundary. Around that price level, a further increase in the buying pressure behind it could see the number two crypto breakout in an upward direction off the symmetrical triangle.

The bullish momentum could trigger a stage of FOMO (fear-of-missing-out) among market participants who would likely rush to buy more ETH. If this happens, Etherum could surge over 170% upon the breakout point to reach $667.

While the upside target is well-defined for Ether, XRP is not so clear.

This is the result of the bearish trend it entered after peaking at $3.3 in January 2018. Since then, this cryptocurrency has been making a series of lower highs and lower lows that pushed it to prices not seen since May 2017.

Therefore, the best thing that could happen to XRP is to make a higher high for the first time since early 2018 that allows it to break out of the downtrend it entered after the peak.

Finally, the descending triangle that is developing on Litecoins 1-week chart can also form a reversal pattern to a downtrend. If this is the case, LTC could be bouncing off the $25.5 support level to try to break above the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Breaking above this resistance cluster could see it rise by nearly 6x to a new all-time high of $400.

It is worth noting that the different outlooks presented above could take weeks or even several months to materialize. While they all present big opportunities to profit regardless of the outcome, it would be ideal to determine what would happen to these three cryptocurrencies in the near future.

Based on its 4-hour chart, Ethereum appears to be breaking out of a symmetrical triangle. A further increase in the buying pressure behind it could validate the 40% upside target presented by this technical formation. Such a bullish impulse could soon take Ether to $168.

Like Ether, XRP also seems to be breaking out. It recently moved above its 30-four-hour exponential moving average. A continuation of the bullish momentum seen in the last few hours suggests a test of the next level of resistance.

This barrier is represented by the 100-four-hour EMA that sits around $0.18.

In the meantime, Litecoin seems to be contained within a no-trade zone defined by the Bollinger bands on its 4-hour chart. Breaking above the upper or lower band would determine where this crypto is headed next.

On the upside, LTC could surge to the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level that sits at $47.5. However, a sudden spike in the selling pressure behind it could see it plummet to the recent low of $25.

Historically, each time the Crypto Fear and Greed Index (CFGI) senses extreme levels of fear among investors, most digital assets in the market tend to rebound and resume their respective uptrends.

In August 2019, for instance, the CFGI reached a value of 5 (extreme fear), which was followed by a 17% upswing in Bitcoins price. Now, a similar outlook could be taking place.

Indeed, this could be the opportunity that sidelined investors have been waiting for to get back into the market, according to the former Wall Street trader and VP at JP Morgan Chase Tone Vays. Vays recently pointed out that he would rather be long than short under the current market conditions.

For those that Bought the Dip under $4k, lock it down as HODL. For those that missed it, I am comfortable buying it here, said Vays.

Now, it remains to be seen whether the bearish or bullish scenarios presented above would come true.

EOS, Ethereum and Ripples XRP Daily Tech Analysis 24/03/20 – Yahoo Finance

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

EOS

EOS rallied by 7.50% on Monday. Reversing a 6.31% slide from Sunday, EOS ended the day at $2.2962.

A mixed start to the day saw EOS slide to an early morning intraday low $2.0632 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.0243, EOS rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $2.3550.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.3209 before sliding back to $2.20 levels.

Steering clear of sub-$2.20 levels, EOS found support to visit $2.30 levels before wrapping up the day at $2.29 levels.

The first major resistance level at $2.3209 limited the upside late in the day.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 0.91% to $2.3170. A mixed start to the day saw EOS fall to an early morning low $2.2821 before striking a high $2.3450.

EOS left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

EOS would need to move through the morning high $2.3450 to bring the first major resistance level at $2.4131 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from Mondays high $2.3550.

Barring another extended rally, the first major resistance level at $2.4131 would likely limit any upside.

Failure to move through the morning high $2.3450 could see EOS hit reverse.

A fall back through to sub-$2.2400 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.1213 back into play.

Barring another crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer well clear of $2.00 support levels.

Major Support Level: $2.1213

Major Resistance Level: $2.4131

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $6.62

38% FIB Retracement Level: $9.76

62% FIB Retracement Level: $14.82

Ethereum rallied by 12.01% on Monday. Reversing a 7.81% slide from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $137.0.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $119.20 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $116.42, Ethereum rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $138.00.

Story continues

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $132.90 before falling back to $127 levels.

Finding support late on, however, Ethereum broke back through the first major resistance level to end the day at $137.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 1.14% to $135.44. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $138.58 before falling to a low $134.35.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

Ethereum would need to move through to $138 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $143.60.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from the morning high $138.58.

Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $140 would likely leave Ethereum short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move through to $138 levels could see Ethereum fall deeper into the red.

A fall back through to sub-$131.50 levels would bring the first major support level at $124.80 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer well clear of sub-$120 support levels.

Major Support Level: $124.80

Major Resistance Level: $143.60

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $257

38.2% FIB Retracement Level: $367

Ripples XRP rose by 7.77% on Monday. Reversing a 6.47% slide from Sunday, Ripples XRP ended the day at $0.15929.

A choppy start to the day saw Ripples XRP slide to an early morning intraday low $0.1450 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $0.1422, Ripples XRP rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $0.16233.

Ripples XRP broke through the first major resistance level at $0.1578 before falling back to sub-$0.1540 levels.

Finding support late on, Ripples XRP broke back through the first major resistance level to wrap up the day at $0.1590 levels.

At the time of writing, Ripples XRP was down by 0.02% to $0.15926. A mixed start to the day saw Ripples XRP rise to an early morning high $0.16209 before falling to a low $0.15893.

Ripples XRP left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

Ripples XRP will need to move through to $0.1600 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.1661.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripples XRP to break out from Mondays high $0.16233.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level at S0.1661 would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move back through to $0.1600 levels could see Ripples XRP hit reverse.

A fall back through the morning low $0.15893 to sub-$0.1550 levels would bring the first major support level at $0.1488 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Ripples XRP should steer clear of sub-$0.15 levels on the day.

Major Support Level: $0.1488

Major Resistance Level: $0.1661

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $0.3638

38.2% FIB Retracement Level: $0.4800

Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH/USD may retreat to $134.00 before another leg higher – FXStreet

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

ETH/USD jumped as high as $152.50 on Friday before retreating to $148.00. The second-largest digital asset has gained over 8% since the beginning of the day and nearly 23% on a day-to-day basis, moving in sync with the market. The bullish sentiments helped the coin to settle above the upper line of 1-hour Bollinger Band, however, the further upside may be limited at this stage, as the asset is deeply overbought at least on the intraday charts.

One-hour RSI is ready to reverse to the South. which means that the downside correction may be extended if the price fails to stay above $146.00. The next support comes at $134.00. This area has been limiting the sell-off since March 19. Once it is out of the way, the downside momentum is likely to gain traction with the next focus on a $125.50 support area reinforced by SMA50 and SMA200 on a 1-hour chart.

On the upside, the critical psychological barrier is located at $150.00. If it is sustainably broken, the upside may gain traction and bring the price towards the intraday high of $152.50. This area may slow down the recovery towards the critical long-term resistance created by SMA200 daily on approach to $177.50.

Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple: A sea of red returns as weekend love disappears – FXStreet

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

The worlds no. 1 digital coin, Bitcoin, has caught a fresh bid-wave and surrendered the 6k barrier yet again, as we head towards the weekly closing. Ethereum and Ripple also yielded into the broad crypto sell-off this Sunday, with the former emerging as the main laggard amongst the top 3 most dominantly traded digital assets. The total market capitalization of the top 20 cryptocurrencies now stands at $170.05 billion, as cited by CoinMarketCap.

The top three coins could likely resume Fridays decline, with the FXStreets Confluence Detector tool suggesting key technical levels to watch out, as we step into a fresh week ahead.

With the sellers back in action, Bitcoinis likely to face the immediate resistance at 6191, the midline of Bollinger Band on 4-hour chart. Further north, 6255, the confluence of Fib 61.8% 1D and SMA5 4h, is likely to challenge the recovery attempts.

The coin will accelerate its recovery momentum once the above resistance is cleared, as the buyers will target Fib 23.6% 1W aligned at 6383.

Having said that, to the downside, the immediate support is now seen at 5871, the confluence of SMA5 1D and Previous Low 1 Day.

A failure to resist the latter will expose the strong support at 5743, Pivot Point 1 Month S3.

Having reversed sharply, Ethereumhas breached the Fib 23.6% 1D support located at 129.0, with the downside now opening up towards Fridays low of 115.80 amid a lack of significant support levels to cap the declines.

The recovery attempts will continue to face stiff resistance near the 134 area, where the SMA5 1H, Fib 61.8% 1D, Fib 38.2% 1W and SMA5 4H intersect.

Therefore, sell the bounce could emerge as the ideal theme for trading ETH/USD in the coming days, as explained here.

Ripplerespected the rising channel breakdown and reached the pattern target at 0.1523, with the further downside still in play, in absence of strong support levels. The 0.1500 psychological level could be tested en-route the next barrier seen at 0.1469, Fib 61.8% 1W.

The coin will target the Pivot Point 1 Month S2 at 0.1452 should the bulls succumb to the bearish pressure.

Alternatively, the bulls will have to chew the offers at 0.1582 in order to re-attempt the 0.16 handle. Any substantial recovery will regain traction only on a daily closing above the latter.

See all thecryptocurrency technical levels.

Ethereum Roadmap 2020 Explained – The Daily Hodl

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

HodlX Guest PostSubmit Your Post

Ethereums blockchain was proposed in 2013, and by 2015, the system went live. This is a decentralized blockchain that allows developers to build smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps) upon it. Ethereum also has a native asset, Ether (ETH), which is the second-largest cryptocurrency based on market capitalization.

On the other hand, the Ethereum roadmap 2020 shows that this blockchain is currently in its last phase of development. This phase is called Serenity, and it will lead to the launch of a new Etheruem blockchain, Ethereum 2.0. The latter will be revamped with several features including proof of stake (PoS), sharding, a new Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), new rewards mechanism, etc.

Serenity Roadmap

The Serenity stage is aimed at making the Ethereum blockchain faster, scalable, and better. Blockchain software technology firm ConsenSys claims Serenity is the eventual and final iteration in Ethereums evolution, and it will be guided by five design principles. These principles are simplicity, resilience, longevity, security, and decentralization.

Accordingly, the Serenity roadmap shows a list of planned major network upgrades for the Ethereum ecosystem. These are:

Lets take a look at each of these.

Phase 0: Beacon Chain

In Serenity Phase 0, a new blockchain or beacon chain that differs from the main Ethereum blockchain will be created. The blockchain will offer simplicity and as such, support will not be provided for smart contracts, initially. However, the beacon chain will feature the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. It will also run alongside the current proof-of-work (PoW) Ethereum blockchain to prevent a break in the continuity of the chains.

Accordingly, the major difference lies in the fact that Ethereum 2.0 will use the PoS consensus algorithm (Casper) instead of the PoW consensus mechanism (Ethash). With PoS, the blockchain tracks a set of validators that take turns to propose and vote for the next valid block. Also, those who own ETH can become validators just by sending a certain amount of their funds to be locked up in deposit or staked.

On the other hand, PoS fosters honesty among validators on the Ethereum blockchain. This is because validators (node holders) earn rewards (depending on how much they had staked) each time a block is accepted by the majority. In contrast, they can lose their funds if the majority rejects the block they had staked on.

ETH2, a new Ethereum native asset, will also be created on the beacon chain and used to reward validators. Whats more, this phase requires that two-thirds of validators must deposit 32 ETH on the next block. Generally, the three main responsibilities of the beacon chain are:

Phase 1: Shard Chains

In 2019, Vitalik Buterin, Ethereums co-founder, noted that scalability is a set back to Ethereums adoption. According to Buterin, higher scalability would greatly reduce the cost of using the Ethereum blockchain.

Sharding, on the other hand, deals with parallel transactions, storing, and processing of information. Hence, it can potentially improve the scalability of the new Ethereum blockchain. Whats more, sharding involves increasing the number of transactions that can be processed by the network at a time. In this case, the network will be divided across multiple shards.

Consequently, several transactions will be processed at the same time. On the other hand, there will be 64 shard chains in the first phase of beacon chain, and more may be added over time.

Phase 2: eWASM

Smart contracts execute transactions before they are traceable on the blockchain. In line with that, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) enables smart contracts to execute transactions. However, to eliminate the problem of the current EVM, which executes transactions sequentially, Ethereum-flavored WebAssembly (eWASM) will be used.

eWASM is believed to offer improved performance over EVM. It will enable the support of smart contracts, accounts, and states on the new blockchain. Smart contracts will also be written in different languages other than Solidity. eWASM is set to launch in 2021 even though development has already begun.

Phase 3: Continued Improvement (launch date, in 2022)

Ethereum 2.0 may have been launched, but like any other system, there will always be a need for updates and fixes. The continued improvement stage has been solely designed to handle general and continuous improvement of the protocol in a bid to meet the growing demands of the new blockchain.

According to ConsenSys, the following will be implemented:

Conclusion

The Ethereum blockchain has been relied upon by investors to transact, and developers to build their applications. However, Ethereum 2.0 will bring something different to the table from the use of a PoS consensus algorithm to scalability and finally, smart contract integration. Therefore, it makes the Ethereum ecosystem a more promising one.

Ethereum Roadmap 2020 Explained - The Daily Hodl

Bitcoin and Ethereum Price Analysis: Crucial Resistance Level Rejected – CoinCodex

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

Key highlights:

*Price at the time of writing

Bitcoin has been outperforming the traditional stock market for the past week now and has remained relatively strong within the context of the crypto market as it has gainedsome market dominance as well. The digital asset is currently trading above $6,000 but below $7,000, as it has been unable to break above this level.

The daily chart remains in an uptrend and the last higher low was set at $5,688, which means the bulls still have a lot of space to work with. Bitcoin has experienced several positive signs in the past few days like the MACD turning bullish for the first time in more than a month and the change in daily and 4-hour trends.

Buy/Sell Bitcoin (BTC)

How to buy Bitcoin (BTC) on Binance?

Like we pointed out in our last BTC analysis,the bulls were facing a lot of resistance between the $6,900 and $7,042 area. The bears have now proven that this is in fact a heavy resistance area, as the price of Bitcoin was rejected yet again from $6,957. This has basically created a double top formation,although the current candlestick hasnt closed yet.

The bears have seen significant continuation after the rejection at $6,957 as the value of Bitcoin declined by 7% in less than 4 hours. The 4-hour uptrend is not lost yet and the bulls could still turn the bearish momentum around. The MACD is on the verge of a bearish cross but maintains the daily bullish cross. The daily RSI remains pretty low at 45 points and the bulls are looking for support at the $6,327 area, the 12-period EMA.

Ethereumhas been weaker than Bitcoin and the bulls have been unable to break and close above the daily 12-period EMA. They have been rejected 3 times now, but were still able to see a bullish MACD cross two days ago.

It seems that Ethereum is forming a daily ascending wedge that is not fully confirmed yet. The trading volume has also significantly declined over the past week.Similarly, the volatility of ETH has also declined in the past two days, which could indicate a bigger move is coming soon. Additionally, it seems that the active addresses of Ethereum have jumped to a 9-month high after the overall market crash back in March 12.

Buy/Sell Ethereum (ETH)

How to buy Ethereum (ETH) on Binance?

Ethereum is most likely going to follow the steps of Bitcoin, which has currently set a double top on the daily chart. Ethereum hasnt been able to close above the daily 12-period EMA even though the MACD has turned bullish. The bulls are still in control as ETH is still in a daily uptrend but it seems to have formed a lower high compared to $152.55.

The most likely scenario for Ethereum now seems to be a daily equilibrium pattern if the bulls can hold the support at $119.5. An equilibrium pattern doesnt favor anyone and its not necessarily bearish, but its certainly not what the bulls wanted. The coronavirus outbreak situation is not improving just yet and the crypto market, although it's performing better now, could still suffer further downside action as a result.

The daily RSI is still pretty low at 40 points but the bears are looking to shift the momentum back in their favor, especially if ETH cannot break above the daily 12-period EMA soon.

Ethereum-based MakerDAO hands off power to community – Decrypt

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

The Maker Foundation, a body charged with getting the MakerDAO network up and running, today announced that it has relinquished all control of its governance token, MKR, to the governance community. That means that MKR holders are the only ones who can vote on the fate of the network.

Todays announcement marks the completion of the Maker Foundations three-month odyssey toward complete decentralization of its governance system. The Maker Foundation started dispersing the tokens to the community on December 20, 2019.

MKR holders now have complete control over a special smart contract that lets the governance community vote on the minting and destruction of MKR, as well as future permission changes to the MKR contract.

For instance, earlier this month, MKR holders voted in favor of a debt auction to stabilize the value of its decentralized stablecoin, DAI, whose peg to the US dollar is backed by cryptocurrencieswhich crashed along with global markets amid panic caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

By completing its commitment to transfer the MKR token contract to MKR holders, the Maker Foundation continues to move toward a completely self-sustaining MakerDAO, said Rune Christensen, CEO of the Maker Foundation.

And its just the beginning. We will continue to ready the community for complete decentralization in the weeks and months ahead, he added.

To achieve effective governance, the community must vote smartlyand vote oftensays the announcement. Without enough community passion and well-intentioned participation, a community-governed system can become vulnerable and struggle to succeed, it reads.

California-based MakerDAO is best known for producing Dai, a dollar-pegged stablecoin. Unlike conventional stablecoins, which are backed by fiat reserves, Dai is backed by Ether and Brave Attention Tokenthe native currency of the crypto browser, Brave. As of last week, Dai can also be backed by USDC, a stablecoin with fiat reserves maintained by less-than-decentralized companies Circle and Coinbase.

The Great Divide: What is the biggest dream fight fans missed out on? – MMA Fighting

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

The Great Divide is a recurring feature here at MMA Fighting in which two of our staff debate a topic in the world of MMA whether its news, a fight, a crazy thing somebody did, a crazy thing somebody didnt do, or some moral dilemma threatening the very foundation of the sport and try to figure out a resolution. Wed love for you to join in the discussion in the comments below.

With most of the MMA world in hiatus due to the worldwide coronavirus outbreak, Mike Chiappetta and Alexander K. Lee look to the past at crossroads moments in the sport where a zig instead of a zag could have changed everything. Over the years, many dream fights have been proposed, and while several of them came to fruition, many never did, leaving fans to wonder what could have been.

But when it comes to the biggest superfight that never was, which one takes the mantle?

Chiappetta: Back in the olden days when superfights were actually a rarity, we really only got fired up about the ones that would mean something. Someone who had just won a championship for the first time, for instance, wasnt really a candidate for a superfight. You had to have a belt, a profile and gravitas to force your way into that discussion.

The first true one took place in 2009, when UFC lightweight B.J. Penn moved up to challenge welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre at UFC 94. That, my friends, was a happening, an event that drew a sellout crowd to Las Vegas, nearly hit one million pay-per-view buys, and captured the imaginations of fight fans worldwide.

The fight itself was fairly one-sided. Aside from a close first round, GSP battered Penn so thoroughly that Penns corner eventually stopped the match prior to the start of the fifth. Although the match itself proved anticlimactic, St-Pierres dominance was eye-opening.

Even prior to that bout, a match between St-Pierre and middleweight champion Anderson Silva had been speculated about in MMA circles, but GSPs dominance brought that talk out into the open. If he could so easily dominate an all-time great like Penn, the thinking went, he certainly had a chance against another one in Silva.

Unfortunately, St-Pierre seemed to balk at every mention, saying that if he were to do that, hed have to take time off to bulk up to give himself the best chance of winning. And surprisingly, UFC President Dana White never really pushed for it either, calling it a fantasy as it eventually fell into the void.

Now that some time has passed since we begged and pleaded for that matchup to no avail, its hard to remember how big it would have been. Silva for a time held the record for the most consecutive UFC title defenses with 10, and St-Pierre finished right behind him with nine.

These were two of the winningest fighters in UFC history but they also were among the most charismatic and electric fighters ever to walk into the Octagon.

If you never saw either do his thing in person, you truly missed out on a special experience. For a while, St-Pierre was the king of Canada, and drew a massive crowd of supporters wherever he fought, exploding at every takedown and popping at every ground strike. Meanwhile, Silva was a showman of the highest order, playing with his opponents as if they were children before mercifully ending things with dazzling combinations of speed, power and accuracy.

Just as compelling as their skills was how they would have used them against each other. Oddsmakers made Silva a slight favorite in betting lines released during that time, mostly because of the size disparity between the two men. Silva was long and powerful, and for St-Pierre to get inside for a takedown, he would have had to navigate a treacherous stretch of territory where Silvas fists and knees could have reached him before St-Pierre got there. For Silva, one pinpoint strike often meant the end or the beginning of the end, and given GSPs risk aversion in his later days, it would have been fascinating to see how it played out.

Silva was an incredibly gifted offensive fighter, and GSP was perhaps the best defensive fighter of his era. A lot of that relied upon the threat of his takedown. It was a weapon so potent, it would often freeze fighters who were so hyper focused on defending it, they became offensively paralyzed.

Despite their best efforts, most fighters eventually found themselves on their backs against St-Pierre, but even here, the fight would have stayed interesting. As Chael Sonnen can attest, Silva remained a major threat off of his back, even in the dying moments of a bout. Thus, we couldnt assume that GSPs swarming ground game would be a sure thing.

There are so many elements that would have been riveting viewing. Could Silva overwhelm St-Pierre in the clinch as hed done to so many others? How would GSP have adjusted his offense in a reach deficit with limited use of his trademark jab? Could Silva enter the matrix against one of the sports all-time greats standing across from him? Would GSPs carefully created game plan or Silvas improvisational genius win the day?

Alas, well never know. For all time, it will be a hypothetical for the ages, just like the men within. Silva and St-Pierre will forever be among the best to ever do it, and the sport will forever rue the inability to get them into the cage against each other, even as their primes ran in parallel.

Lee: Neither Ronda Rousey nor Cris Cyborg had anywhere near the sustained excellence in the UFC as Georges St-Pierre or Anderson Silva, but at its a peak a dream bout between the two was as hot as any in MMA history and Cyborg wasnt even in the UFC until Rousey had one foot out the door.

To remember where it all began, you have to go back at the halcyon days of Strikeforce when an August 2009 fight between Cyborg and Gina Carano rocketed womens MMA into the mainstream. Carano was a budding star in her own right, a vibrant personality that would later make a name for herself in Hollywood, while Cyborg had already developed the reputation of a berserker just four years into her pro career. Hot on Cyborgs heels was a rising featherweight named Ronda Rousey.

Rousey, a bronze medal winner in judo at the 2008 Olympics, absolutely disintegrated her first four MMA opponentsall of whom would go on to have respectable careers of their ownincluding future Bellator champion Julia Budd. None of them lasted longer than 50 seconds with Rousey.

Cyborg vs. Rousey. Inevitable, right? Not exactly.

Rather than continue on at 145, Rousey dropped down to bantamweight for a title fight with Miesha Tate. It was hard to argue with the move as Rousey picked up another first-round submission and the first championship of her career. She then won her next seven title fights, including six straight in the UFC.

As for Cyborg, a failed drug test in 2011 cost her the Strikeforce belt and all but killed any notion that Rousey would consider returning to featherweight to face her. Cyborg rebounded with another championship run in Invicta FC, but ironically, the more successful they both were the less likely it was that they would cross paths given that Rouseys fame grew with every defense of her 135-pound title and Cyborg had no reason to even sign with the UFC since they had no featherweight division for her to compete in.

And yet, the two continued to snipe at each other through the media, with Rousey daring Cyborg to drop an extra 10 pounds and meet her at bantamweight, and Cyborgs camp wondering why the former 145-pound prospect was unwilling to move back up for a once-in-a-lifetime fight. It should be noted that Rousey was one of the highest-paid fighters in the world at the time and had zero reason to accommodate any opponent, especially one she openly despised.

Its that animosity that would have made this matchup the stuff of legends though. Cyborg, the unstoppable force who would eventually compile a 20-fight winning streak with few of her opponents looking like they belonged in the same cage as her; Rousey, the immovable object that dominated seasoned competition like no woman before her, even Cyborg herself. Before the rise of Amanda Nunes, Rousey and Cyborg were among the top-3 all-time when it came to WMMA GOATs (shout-out to Megumi Fujii).

It wasnt her fault by any means, but Cyborgs level of competition was always questioned. Even Rousey was a victim of her own success as her lightning-fast dismissals of the likes of Cat Zingano and Sara McMann caused them to be labeled retroactively as unworthy challengers. These two would have completed each other.

Who would have won? Its hard to bet against Cyborg, physically one of the strongest featherweights ever to compete in MMA and an excellent grappler as well. The thought of Rousey trucking her as she had so many others is unfathomable. But Rousey made a career out of proving people wrong and in her prime was the definition of a world-beater. Could she have been the one to snap Cyborgs legendary streak?

What really hurts about this one is the lateone could argue, half-heartedeffort to make this fight happen in 2016 as Cyborg was entering the UFC and Rousey was exiting. Cyborgs first two octagon appearances were 140-pound catchweight affairs, an absurd test to see if she could reasonably make the cut down to bantamweight (spoiler: she couldnt). The matchmakers were doing what they could to put the gears in motion for Cyborg vs. Rousey even if those gears were loudly grinding in futility.

It didnt matter. Rousey lost some of her mystique after being knocked out by Holly Holm, then headed to the greener pastures of the WWE after her comeback attempt was brutally stifled by Nunes. Cyborg finally reigned as the UFCs featherweight champion before she too fell to Nunes. Any remnants of a Cyborg-Rousey matchup are dust in the wind now.

Theres still an outside shot that the WWE books an angle for the two to work together someday or that the matchup is zombified for a quick cash grab a la Chuck-Tito III. For fight fans, either outcome would likely be infuriating more than anything else, especially compared to what we could have had: Two unique and gifted fighters with a genuine dislike for each other settling their score in the cage.

The Great Divide: What is the biggest dream fight fans missed out on? - MMA Fighting

100 Fights to Watch at Home this Weekend – The Official Website of the Ultimate Fighting Championship

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

37. Junior dos Santos vs Mark Hunt UFC 160: Ever seen somebody get knocked out by the calf muscle? When Junior dos Santos throws wheel kicks anything can happen.

36. Sodiq Yusuff vs Mike Davis Dana Whites Contender Series: Sodiq made us all feel bad for Mike Davis. As if it wasnt hard enough to constantly chase down somebody as fast as Yusuff, couple that with the damage that was done to his lead leg. Ouch. If was pretty clear from the beginning Sodiq Yusuff was here to stay.

35. Danny Silva vs Johnny Soto CFFC 75: The whole card could have easily gone home after the early card barn burner between Danny Silva and Johnny Soto. It almost looked like two hungry Justin Gaethjes out there swinging for the fences.

34. Phil Baroni vs Ikuhisa Minowa PRIDE Bushido 11: Neither man had exactly a groundbreaking presence in the world of MMA but with bell to bell action and a finish by stomps, Baroni and Minows 1 was one of the most underrated fights in PRIDE FC history.

33. Phil Baroni vs Nick Nolte Titan FC 17: While were here, lets go back to the day Phil Baroni fought a man named Nick Nolte. Not that Nick Nolte. The Nick Nolte from Kansas City with a handful of fights on UFC FIGHT PASS. With the nickname of The Kansas City Head Case, theyre definitely cut from the same cloth.

32. Murilo Rua vs Alex Reid Cage Rage 21: Hopefully youve got a strong stomach. A freak leg kick ended the fight before it began. No bones were broken, but when Alex Reid threw a low leg kick the worst part of the bone must have come in heavy contact with the best part of Ninja Ruas because blood began pouring out like a faucet.

31. Eddie Alvarez vs Ross Ebenez ShoXC 4: Trumps Taj Mahal played host to an up and coming Eddie Alvarez doing what he does best all the way back in 2008.

30. Semmy Schilt vs Masakatsu Funaki Pancrase 1998 Anniversary Show: Semmy Schilt might have more fights on UFC FIGHT PASS so theres no way he wasnt making the cut. One of his most exciting finishes came in Pancrase where Funaki ate one too many body punches before calling it a night.

29. Sarah Kaufman vs Valerie Letourneau TKO 29: After a somewhat uneventful first round, Sarah Kaufman came out swinging for the fences in the second round and landed punches until the ref had had enough.

28. Minoru Suzuki vs Ken Shamrock Pancrase: Eyes of Beast 4: One of the greatest title fights in Pancrase history was between two of the most decorated legends in the promotions history. While it was short lived, fans and fighters alike knew the one round affair was indisputably between the most worthy title challengers in the world.

27. Kimbo Slice vs Tank Abbott EliteXC: Street Certified: As far as the history of Kimbos career goes, this was the most entertaining matchup possible. EliteXC knew exactly what they were doing when they booked the two most notorious street brawlers of all time to go against each other. The only thing the fans would change would be that the fight was a few years too late.

26. Alistair Overeem vs Vitor Belfort PRIDE Total Elimination 2005: This fight could have taken place anywhere, with both men fighting for nearly every major promotion its a surprise this fight only happened twice. The most exciting of the pair of fights coming at PRIDE Total Elimination 2005. The bout came to a conclusion when Ubereem put Belfort in a guillotine more terrifying than a real guillotine.

25. Marius Zaromskis vs Ross Mason Cage Rage 22: After two rounds of slugging it out, Ross Mason thought he had seen everything Marius Zaromskis had up his sleeve. When Zaromskis landed a kick to the face that would have dropped lesser men, Mason stood smiling welcoming anything else. Mason next landed a flying knee that sent Mason flopping to the canvas.

24. Jared Cannonier vs Tony Lopez AFC 104: After watching the walkouts its possible that Jared Cannonier is the most popular person to ever walk to the AFC cage. The ring announcer jinxed the action when he asked the crowd if they wanted to see a knockout. What they got instead was a split decision battle that launched Cannonier into the UFC.

23. Herb Dean vs Timothy Mendoza KOTC 39: Hitmaster: With the hair and the referee outfit you dont often glance at the ears but if you were to look at the ears of Herb Dean, youll notice a little bit of cauliflower to them. He earned it the hard way after a six-year MMA career.

22. Mark Schultz vs Gary Goodridge UFC 9: Less than four months after the murder of his brother, the subject of the movie Foxcatcher stepped into The Octagon and used wrestling to absolutely dominate Gary Goodridge handing him his second MMA loss.

21. Rickson Gracie vs Nobuhiko Takada PRIDE 1: Rickson Gracies career was short-lived but dominant and its fights like this one that let us know that theres only one fight were missing on UFC FIGHT PASS. Rickson vs Sakuraba.

20. Kurt Holobaugh vs Yosdenis Cedeno Titan FC 42: Pushing himself and Yosdenis Cedeno to the limit for over three rounds, Kurt Holobaugh was finally able to finish the fight with a rear-naked choke to earn a title shot with JZ Cavalcante.

Darkseid is Showing Thanos How You REALLY Change Reality – Screen Rant

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

Darkseid has been on a historic mission in the realm of DC Comics, first dying in battle, then being resurrected as a mind-controlled slave, and then being reverted into an adorably hideous baby. But come June,Darkseidmay finally reach his ultimate form, and achieve his goal of reshaping all of reality. But unlike his Marvel counterpart, Thanos... Darkseid's plan will actually work.

When it comes to threat levels in the DC Universe Darkseid ranks among the very top, having nearly conquered all sentient life multiple times. His first invasion of Earth was the crisis that initially brought the Justice League together in the rebooted New 52 continuity, and his obsession with the Anti-Life Equation has led to the deaths of thousands. But not long afterJustice League: Odyssey threw shade at Thanos' plan -- claiming any fool could see how it would fail. Which means Darkseid is after an even MORE powerful way to make it happen.

Related:Justice League Prepare For Original Final Battle In New Snyder Cut Image

Gods aren't known form being humble, but Darkseids defeat at the hands of the Anti-Monitor during the events of The Darkseid War knocked the king of evil off his pedestal, and stripped him of most of his power and nearly all of his dignity. But Darkseids will is unfathomably strong, and DCs June solicitation forJustice League: Odysseysuggests the dethroned lord of Apokolips is now on his way to conquering the Multiverse in a way he never could before--by becoming the author of all reality.

Unfortunately for those fond of evil newborns, Darkseids adventures as a Rugrat were short-lived. With the help of his daughter/surrogate mother Grail, baby Darkseid fed on the life-force of Zeuss divine bastard children to gradually grow back into adulthood. Considerably weakened, Darkseid then tricked Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael into going on a space odyssey to return him to his seat of power. Believing themselves on a mission to restore order to the universe, the trio of Earths defenders go on an unsanctioned (and forbidden) trek through a patchwork of lost planets called the Ghost Sector. Unwitting pawns in Darkseids path to ultimate power.

Darkseids quest sends the Odyssey team on a scavenger hunt to find ancient technology that combines together to create Sepulkore, a solar system-sized version of Apokolips. With Sepulkore, Darkseid plans to ride out the galactic entropy bleeding into the Multiverse after the destruction of the Source Wall (collateral damage fromNo Justice). Though they attempted to betray Darkseid before he could complete his master plan, Darkseid transforms Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael into twisted versions of New Gods to serve at his nightmarish command.

Related:Darkseid's TRUE Equal Isn't Thanos, It's Santa (Seriously)

However, there was an unwilling member of the team Darkseid couldnt warp to his divine will--Green Lantern Jessica Cruz. Not fitting into Darkseids plans Cruz was brutally executed, but through a freak accident involving her power ring and Darkseids omega beams her body was restored with the ability to manipulate omega energy. While fleeing Darkseids mutated horrors, Cruzs new team (comprised of Darkseids son Orion, Starfires sister Queen Blackfire, a Zamaron technician, and a vicious Red Lantern who is also a house cat) encounters yet another being hoping to bring down the New God, this one armed with a machine that can rewrite reality.

Epoch, a nonlinear being and a self-proclaimed Master of Time, plans to use a cosmic device called a revision mechanism to edit out Darkseids existence from the pages of history, one syllable at a time. And not rely on magic or mysticism to do it. DCs June solicitations hint that the second Odyssey crew will also fail to bring down the Lord of Apokolips. InJustice League: Odyssey #22(on sale June 3rd), Darkseid successfully breaches Epochs defenses and it is heavily suggested that he will claim the revision mechanism for himself. This means Darkseid will wield more power than he ever has before, as the new author of the DC Universe--able to rewrite continuity to his dark will.

Does this mean DCs Rebirth is getting the New 52 treatment? With the comic book publisher offering media outlets muddled and at times conflicting details regarding their latest big event launchGeneration 5 (or 5G for short), many speculate DC is headed for another soft reboot--not a continuity earthquake like Crisis On Infinite Earths but more like a continuity aftershock likeZero Hour. If that is the case, it is more than possible that Darkseid will play a part in retconning the timeline considering hisnew position as the Multiverses editor-in-chief.

The Mandalorian casts Terminator and Aliens legend Michael Biehn as bounty hunter in Disney+ season 2 – The Irish Sun

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

THE Mandalorian is bringing in a new cast member who knows a thing or two about aliens.

Terminator and Aliens star Michael Biehn has been cast in season 2 of the Disney+ Star Wars spinoff.

Walking the Walk and Heeding the Talk for Now – The SandPaper

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

(File Photo by Ryan Morrill)

I went for a drive to the park with my family. I asked myself questions I never thought Id ask myself. Should I have my window open in the car? What if that guy in front of me spits out his window? What if the guy in the car passing by with his window open sneezes? What about that lady on the sidewalk? Am I too close? I was sweating stupid sweat.

It was a gorgeous afternoon. Perfect. The kind I would have every window of my car open and the music blaring. I live for days like this, but the sight of two full parking lots as we entered the park filled me with dread. So. Many. People.

We drove around the park, and there were people everywhere. They were passing each other with less than 6 feet of clearance. Dont they know? Why arent they social distancing? Six feet people, 6 feet! If we get out of the car and go for a walk, will they ignore the minimum distance when I pass? What if they cough? I turned around and left the park. We decided to just walk around the block from home.

I went for a walk to the lake up the street. Every fellow pedestrian was now a threat. I felt like a cyborg tracking every movement of every human within sight. Plans were made to change trajectory if someone was coming toward us. What if we cant get enough space? What if, what if, what if? Thats all that was rattling around my mind. And we did walk pass some. We said hello. We waved. And people did come within 6 feet, and it felt like every molecule within me was screaming red alert. What to do? What to do?

You accept it. You keep walking.

And we did. We kept walking and took in stunning views of the lake on an amazing day. My kids panicked, not at people, but at a wasp that was flying around their heads. Old-school panic. That was good panic, if a little overboard on their part (but, hey, they hate wasps).

On the way home I started thinking about the level of nonsensical stress coursing through my body every minute of this family walk. It made no sense to me. I mean, I definitely understood why it was happening I am a recovering germaphobe, and here I am facing every one of those old feelings pouring anxiety into my system, fed by a worldwide pandemic. This was always just for the movies, not real life, right? But here we are.

My takeaway from this walk on this gorgeous afternoon was this were not going to be able to stay home. If I am out already, theres no way the public is going to stay inside on gorgeous days. We are outside people. We treasure the outdoors. Our nation is all about crossing borders into nature and life. And despite every fear I had about going out, I still did. Were not going to stay inside. Were not.

So the next thought is well, I guess were all just going to have to take our chances. I dont think the self-quarantine will work once the weather gets warm. I dont think you can pen up a free society that long. Were all willing to do it right now.We want to play our part in flattening the curve.

I had felt as though I could do this for months. One nice day in and Im not so sure. The call to the shore will be absolutely irresistible come late June, maybe earlier. I dont see how this will ultimately work. The panic thoughts erupt again which way will we go? Will it come to martial law to keep us home, or will we just open society and keep testing people, separating the sick as we go? If you get it, you get it. Some would live and some would die. And that thought is terrifying, too, because we would all think wed be on the living side, but some will not be, and we are already seeing evidence that this is not just an older persons problem anymore.

No, no, that will not do, so we have to stay at home and do our part for the greater good, for however long it takes to give our hospitals a chance to save the most lives. Into the great unknown from home we go, I guess.

So I went for a walk today and I heard a voice from Italy.

Hi, Scott. How are you? About what you wrote today going to the park I hope you dont take this as an intrusion. They have forbidden us to walk outside without serious purpose (like grocery, health issues or work). They closed every shop that doesnt sell food or medicine. Thats how bad things are here in Italy.

They are doing that because people cant simply follow one essential rule: stay at home. In Bergamo so many died they had to be moved elsewhere because the cemetery couldnt handle that many dead!

Sure, we have the second oldest population in the world, and we dont have such huge spaces as you do in in the U.S. We have a different health system (ours is having trouble with so many sick people in such short time). The quarantine is mostly for that, since it is a highly contagious virus. We need to slow it down and give time for our health system to make room for everybody.

Three weeks ago we had our last Sunday brunch out with the kids, and we thought the officials made too much fuss about a bad cold. Only three weeks ago, and now look at us.

I dont want to scare you. Well, maybe I do.Just think about it and please take care! Elena.

Super Promotions: 10 Teen Characters Who Graduated To The Avengers Or Justice League – CBR – Comic Book Resources

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

There's a general rule in comics that characters rarely really change or grow. Batman and Superman will always be in their mid-30s. Everything in the Marvel universe will have happened in the last 10 years. This keeps things stable and simple and, in theory, easy for everyone to enjoy the stories.

RELATED:DC Comics: 5 Superheroes Who Improve With A Sidekick (& 5 Who Are Better Off Solo)

But some characters break this rule. They grow up and change and become something different. They move from the kids table to the adult table during the big superhero get-togethers and live it up as one of the big-time superheroes. What does it take to make it to the big leagues? How does a young hero get bumped up to the next level? There's no one answer to those questions, but here are 10 teen superheroes who graduated to the Avengers or Justice League...

Firestar is a rare character who got two promotions in her superhero career. She was created to act as the third hero in the classic animated series Spider-Man and His Amazing Friendsbut finally came to the Marvel Comics universe two years after the cartoon was canceled when she showed up in Uncanny X-Men #193.

Sometime later, Firestar would become a founding member of the New Warriors where comic fans would really get to know the character. When her New Warriors co-founder and boyfriend Justice decided to leave the team and try out for the Avengers, Firestar joined him. Both of the young heroes made the team.

Probably the most famous of all the superhero graduates, Wally West, the third Flash, went from pre-teen sidekick to founding member of the Teen Titans to founding member of the Justice League International offshootJustice League Europe before becoming a member of the Justice League proper.

For quite a while, Wally West stood out as the sidekick who made good on the promise. While other sidekicks have taken over for their mentors, Wally was the one who kept it going the longest, running for over 20 years before he got sent back down to the minors. Since then, DC has struggled to figure out what to do with the character, much to the chagrin of his fans.

Starting off as one of the Young Avengers, Hulkling is a KreeSkrull hybrid who uses his shapeshifting abilities to take on the characteristics of the original Hulk. As time went on, Hulkling started to become his own identity, thanks in part to his budding relationship with Wiccan. Hulkling started to use his powers to, among other things, grow wings and fly.

RELATED:Marvel Comics: 5 Superheroes Who Improve With A Sidekick (& 5 Who Are Better Off Solo)

After his time with the Young Avengers, Hulkling joined the New Avengers alongside Wiccan, Squirrel Girl, and a few other heroes. The team didn't last long, but Hulkling is plenty busy these days being the new ruler of the Kree-Skrull Alliance and helping plan the invasion of Earth for "the final war", which we'll all get to see in Marvel's upcoming Empyre event.

Growing up called "Night Boy" by his neighbors, Ray Terrill never left the house because of a deadly allergy to sunlight. At least, that was what he had been told. On his deathbed, Ray's dad reveals the truth; Ray was born with superpowers that are activated by the sun, but he couldn't control them. Now in his teens, Ray was ready to go out into the world and make a name for himself.

Taking a different path than most teen heroes, Ray skipped the lesser teams and was recruited into the Justice League when the team was looking to power up after the death of Superman. After about a year with the League, Ray left to join Young Justice and be with people his own age.

A founding member of the New Mutants, Roberto da Costa used his mutant abilities to absorb solar energy and turn it into a variety of powers like superstrength and solar blasts to help mutantdom. As Sunspot, Roberto has been a member of a number of teams, including X-Force and Young X-Men before becoming a member of the Avengers. Sunspot used his family's money to buy out A.I.M. and change it from the terrorist group Advanced Idea Mechanics to Avengers Idea Mechanics and forms his own Avengers team, New Avengers. After the New Avengers folded, Sunspot became the leader of U.S. Avengers.

Created by Geoff Johns and Lee Moder, Courtney Whitmore took on the superhero identity Star-Spangled Kid after learning that her stepfather was the original Star-Spangled Kid. Early into her career, Courtney joined the JSA and was gifted the cosmic staff by Starman when he decided to get out of the hero game. She changed her name to Stargirl and continued to make her mark as part of comics' first superhero team.

In the New 52 continuity, Stargirl joined the Justice League of America and was used as the face of this government back version of the classic team. After this iteration of Justice League of America dissolved, Stargirl joined Justice League United.

Created by Ultron, Victor Mancha grew up thinking he was a normal kid living a normal life with his normal single mother. He had no idea he was destined to become a supervillain called Victorious who would destroy the Avengers and rule the world in the near future. Thanks to the Runaways, Victor learned of his future and worked to make sure it would never come to pass.After the Age of Ultron event, Victor joined Hank Pym's Avengers A.I., a team that included Victor's "older brother" Vision, a Doombot, and Nick Fury's ex-wife, Monica Chang.

Originally a member of the Marv Wolfman and George Perez's New Teen Titans, Cyborg gained his cybernetic powers in a less than ideal way when he was caught in an explosion. To save his life, Cyborg's dad took what little of his son he could and transferred it to a robotic body powered by a Mother Box.

RELATED:10 Marvel Heroes Who Would Make Great Batman Sidekicks

While Cyborg was always a member of the Titans, he found himself being a part of the new Justice League after Doctor Manhattan had messed with the timestream, as seen in Doomsday Clock. He may have gotten the promotion in a weird way, but there's no doubt that Cyborg has the skills and powers that make him a good fit for the Justice League.

Just a high school student when he joined his sister, her fiance, and her fiance's college buddy for a trip into outer space in an experimental rocket ship, Johnny Storm became the Human Torch after being exposed to cosmic rays.

While he is first and foremost a member of Marvel's first superhero team, the Fantastic Four, he joined the Avengers for a time while Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman were missing and presumed dead. Johnny had inherited the fortune of the Fantastic Four and used it to rebuild Avengers Mansion.

The first Robin, Dick Grayson not only gave birth to the kid sidekick concept, but he was also a founding member of the Teen Titans, acting as the team's leader for decades in the comics. Even when he gave up the Robin persona and became Nightwing, Dick stayed with his Titans teammates, but when he took over the Batman persona for the second time.

As with his first run as Batman, Dick didn't stay in the cape and cowl for long, and returned to the Titans when he went back to being Nightwing. Of all the grown-up sidekicks in the DC universe, Dick isn't the only one who should be on the Justice League, but he is the only one who has the skills needed to lead the team.

15 Female UFC Fighters In Their Workout And Gym Gear | TheThings – TheThings

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

UFC fighters were none too pleased after Dana White and the company agreed to a deal exclusively with Reebok. Some fighters love to show off their own personal taste while promoting a specific company that couldve led to more dollars for the fighters individually, however that ship sailed once UFC inked the deal with the popular retailer.

Due to the deal, the workout gear of choice for the UFC females is oftentimes something from the brand. Clearly, as well come to realize on this list, they always pull off the look. In addition to showcasing the gear, well also delve into their rigorous workouts.

Enjoy the article folks and like always be sure to share it with a friend. Without further ado, lets get started.

Wed hesitate to workout alongside Cris Cyborg, especially on the road to a big fight.

Most of us get exhausted just watching her routines, which feature some serious cardio drills, like being attached to a rope, which just adds even more resistance to her movements. She also has the mask on which cuts down oxygen, accelerating your heart and lung rate. Beast mode.

She might not have the best UFC record however, in the looks department, Rachael is a legend and among the elite. Her workout photos kind of resemble something a fitness IG influencer would post.

Her outfits always seem to be on point however, when its time to prep for a fight, those fitness routines change drastically.

We respect VanZants hustle, even with an arm injury shes getting it done, when theres a will theres a way.

Wisely, she uses a modified squat machine which uses no upper body tension whatsoever this is one of the elite machines strictly focusing on the glute, hamstring and quad contraction.

Without a doubt, most of us approve in relation to Tates workout outfit of choice, two thumbs up. The legend provides quite the service with her own home workout routine online, to all of her members.

The 33-year-old seems to be aging in reverse, she can also be followed via IG, where she posts more workout and healthy eating footage.

You dont get the label of Karate Hottie by accident. Waterson is often time considered the best-looking UFC fighter in the game.

The vet can also bring it in the octagon, prior to her loss to Joanna Jedrzejczyk, she was on an impressive three-fight win streak. We hope to see her back in training and in the octagon soon.

Holly Holm is a beast. We really dont need to say much else, during her training sessions she ups the tempo to the next level.

In the pic above, shes hitting a wide-grip pull-up, while showing off her middle back and lats Holm definitely picked the perfect outfit to flex those back muscles.

She hasnt lost a fight in nearly six years, let that sink in for a second. Ever since her 2014 loss to Cat Zingano, Nunes has gone on a devastating win streak, defeating ten opponents in a row, in the span of more than five years.

Amanda has defeated the best of the best shes doing something right during her training sessions.

So, who did Amanda Nunes last defeat come against? Cat Zingano, the MMA legend easily disposed of Nunes in the third round by way of knockout.

In the pic above, we see The Alpha in her signature pink colors. She was known for her flashy pink attire back in the day during her prime run.

Joanna represents true heart in the world of MMA. Her bout against Weili most recently showed that once again, it was the top fight of 2020 with Joanna refusing to quit.

Shes a big public figure for the UFC, here, shes working a promotional shoot for the company while rocking her Reebok gear.

Related -15 Little Known Facts About Joanna Jedrzejczyk

Speaking of heart, we turn to Rose Namajunas who defeated Joanna in back-to-back matches.

While rocking her fitness gear, shes hitting an upper-body cable movement which requires lots of core strength along with stability. She always has her game face on, whether it be hitting the gym for a workout or promoting a fight for the UFC.

She should change her nickname from the Lil Bulldog to the Ripped Bulldog. When it is time to prep for a fight, Herrig takes herconditioning to the next level.

We get a snippet of that during this post-workout pic, as the abs seem to be popping out of everywhere.

Often times prior to a fight, some of the fighters put on an exhibition which usually features a little bit of stretching along with a sparring session specifically for the fans.

Valentina has some scary mobility on the ground, as evidenced by the shot above. Shes rocking her Reebok gear, contractually, shes obligated to rep the brand as are the rest of the UFC fighters.

UFC fans were eager to see Pena back in the octagon come March 28th, as she was slated to take on Aspen Ladd. Of course, given the current circumstances, the match was canceled for a later date.

Lets admire Pena instead, as shes rocking the Reebok top with some Lululemon bottoms a pretty good combo if you ask us.

The UFC must be smiling from ear to ear looking at this photo, as Claudia Gadelha is rocking the Reebok gear and doing a darn good job at that.

It truly doesnt get any better than an empty gym and why not snap a quick photo for all your followers in the meantime.

As the meatheads say, dress for a workout like youre going to your own funeral well, Zhang definitely masters that concept in the pic above.

Her work ethic is off the charts and that has been on full-display given her recent run as one of the most dominant fighters in the game.

Here is every UFC womens champion in the history of the promotion – FanSided

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

A championship is built brick by brick by each and ever champion to win that championship. In the history of the UFC, there have been four divisions for the women, with 13 female fighters capturing gold. Each name has helped build the prestige of the UFCs championships.

Thats why today were looking at each champion from all the divisions.

Germaine de Randamie defeated Holly Holm to win the inaugural womens featherweight championship but was stripped of the title after refusing to defend the belt against Cris Cyborg Justino.

Justino defeated Holly Holm to crown a new champion after de Randamie was stripped of the title. Shed go on to defend the title twice before losing it.

Amanda Nunes beat Justino for the championship and has held it ever since, becoming the first woman in UFC history to win two divisional titles at the same time, and becoming the first woman to hold two titles at the same time.

Becoming the first womens champion in UFC history, Ronda Rousey was gifted the UFC bantamweight championship after coming over as Strikeforce bantamweight champion.

Holly Holm KOed her way to history after stopping Rousey on her seventh title defense.

Holm wouldnt have a long run after Miesha Tate caught her in a rare naked choke with 1:30 left in the fight.

Nunes first title win came against Tate and started off a run of successful title defenses in the division.

Like de Randamie before her, Nicco Montao never got to defend her title. Unlike de Randamie, Montao was stripped of her title due to complications due to weight cutting issues.

Valentina Schevchenko became the first woman to successfully defend the womens flyweight championship after defeating former strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejzyk to win the belt.

The first womens strawweight champion was crowned on the Ultimate Fighter season 20 finale when Carla Esparza defeated Rose Namajunas.

Jedrzejczyk defeated Esparza to win the championship and would have five successful defenses as champion.

Namajunas would rebound to losing to Esparza by being the one who dethroned Jedrzejczyk. Shed win the rematch against Jedrzejczyk.

After winning the rematch, Namajunas would lose the title to Jessica Andrade. She wouldnt hold it for long.

In her home country of China, Weili Zhang defeated Andrade, becoming the first fighter of Chinese descent to win a UFC championship.

DCEU: 10 Ways The Slate Has Changed Since The Franchise Began – Screen Rant

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Danzig

Although there was a lot of promise in the idea of a shared universe of films based on DC Comics properties, the DC Extended Universe got off to a very shaky start. After the middling success, both critically and commercially, of Zack Snyders Man of Steel, Warner Bros. went gung ho in their attempts to catch up to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

RELATED:4 Movies Warner Bros. Should Remove From DCEU Canon (& 4 They Should Keep)

Batman, Wonder Woman, and the rest of the Justice League were introduced in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ahead of an ensemble team-up just one year later. As the franchise has recovered from these blunders, the development slate has changed significantly. Here are 10 ways the DCEU deviated from the original plan.

Ben Afflecks take on the role of Batman was one of the few things that was praised about Batman v Superman. However, after his casting was met with backlash and then he faced ruthless reception to the movie and then became disillusioned with all the mid-filming changes to Justice League, the actor decided to quit the DCEU.

Hes since been replaced by Robert Pattinson, who will play a younger, less experienced version of Bruce Wayne than the one Affleck played. Pattinson will debut in the 2021 solo movie that Affleck was originally slated to write and direct.

The DCEUs Avengers-style superhero team-up, Justice League, was initially announced as two movies Justice League Part One and Justice League Part Two although producer Deborah Snyder insisted that it wouldnt be one movie split in half. The first one was set to arrive on November 17, 2017, while the second was set to arrive on June 14, 2019.

A Justice League movie did make the November 2017 release, but Part One was dropped from its title and painfully obvious reshoots made it more of a standalone piece. After that movies box office disappointment and Ben Afflecks departure as Batman, a sequel was never made.

Before Suicide Squad came out, there were plans for a movie centered around Margot Robbies Harley Quinn and Jared Letos Joker, under the working title Harley Quinn vs The Joker. The movie was set to be written, directed, and produced by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who had previously worked with Robbie on Focus and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

RELATED:5 Things The DCEU Needs To Change (& 5 Things It Should Keep The Same)

However, a Joker movie was made without Letos involvement and Robbie focused on Birds of Prey, which revealed early on that Harley Quinn had broken up with the Joker.

Ray Fishers on-screen portrayal of Victor Stone, a.k.a. Cyborg has been given the short end of the DCEU stick. He was supposed to get a solo movie on April 3, 2020, but it appears to have been canceled, as there hasnt been official word on it for years.

In Zack Snyders original version of Justice League, Cyborg was supposed to have a much larger role, with his whole origin story being filled in, but when Warner Bros. took over the project, most of Cyborgs scenes were cut. As long as the arc of Victors backstory has been shot and those scenes exist, surely the studio can cut together a solo movie for fans of this fascinating, conflicted character.

When Warner Bros. executives were first putting together the DCEUs release slate, a movie about the Flash was set to hit multiplexes in 2018. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Seth Grahame-Smith, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, Rick Famuyiwa have all come and gone from the project over the years. Ezra Miller even resorted to writing his own script at one point.

Right now, the film is set to be helmed by Andy Muschietti for a July 1, 2022 release. But of course, as history has shown, we shouldnt put too much stock into a release date that Warner Bros. sets for a Flash solo movie.

Emulating Marvels signature style, Warner Bros. slapped a post-credits scene on the end of Justice League that revealed Lex Luthor to have escaped from prison and taken a yacht out on the high seas.

RELATED:10 Mistakes The DCEU Made That Prevented It From Matching The MCU's Success

Hes introduced to Deathstroke, played by Joe Manganiello, who seemed to be set up for a larger role as a villain in the DCEUs future. In the three years since Justice League hit theaters, this tease hasnt been paid off.

When Zack Snyderhad to step down fromJustice Leaguedue to a personal tragedy, Joss Whedon stepped in to finish the film for him. Having been impressed with his work, Warner Bros. then hired Whedon to write, direct, and produce a movie about Batgirl. However, just under a year after signing on, Whedon quit the movie.

Its still in development, with Birds of Preys Christina Hodson working on the script, but its nowhere near as close to production as it was when Whedon was at the helm.

After the release of Suicide Squad, Jared Leto signed on to executive produce and star in a Joker solo movie. However, an unrelated Joker film was since released that became the first R-rated movie to gross over $1 billion and was nominated for more Academy Awards than any other movie of the year.

Letos unusual portrayal of the Joker was never very popular among fans, and thats even more prevalent after Joaquin Phoenixs Oscar-winning take blew Leto out of the water, so a Leto-led Joker movie being released after that would feel a little redundant.

It seems crazy that a Justice League movie was made without Green Lantern. Its like Marvel making an Avengers movie without Thor; hes a key member of the team who brings some very unique powers and character traits to the table, so its not the same without him.

RELATED:10 Cues The DCEU's Green Lantern Movie Should Take From Guardians Of The Galaxy

The Green Lanterns did appear very briefly in Justice League, during the Mother Box montage, but we havent been introduced to a specific character, like Hal Jordan or John Stewart. And although a movie titled Green Lantern Corps was dated for June 19, 2020, its clearly not happening.

Zack Snyders Man of Steel is the movie that first kicked off the DCEU. Batman v Superman was essentially a sequel to Man of Steel, but Warner Bros. has consistently promised a direct sequel to the film focusing solely on Superman. Matthew Vaughn and Christopher McQuarrie have separately been in talks with the studio to helm the project, but in both cases, the negotiations fell through.

Michael B. Jordan has pitched his own take on Superman, which sounds exciting, but he wasnt ready to commit to the role just yet. With the Henry Cavill-starringThe Witcher taking off on Netflix, a Man of Steel sequel is looking less and less likely.
