UFN 31: Kennedy Fought Natal With Injury

Of course, last night’s UFC FN 31 headliner will be remembered for the crushing left hand Tim Kennedy used to put away Rafael Natal, but early on in the fight it was the latter who landed more strikes. Kennedy never was in trouble and he kept purusing Natal, but if not for the fight ending blow, round one probably would have gone to “Sapao.”

Well, a reason for this could be because Kennedy was apparently injured heading into the fight. Not only that, but it was a leg injury, which could explain why he appeared to be a step behind Natal, until, well, that leaping left hook. Speaking to the media afterwards, the decorated soldier revealed he tore his quad during the last week of his training camp, and here’s how (comments via MMA Fighting.com):

“I tore my quad coming into this camp,” Kennedy said “The very last week of fight camp, just a stupid thing happened. A lady walked over the track and it was either run over a 65 year-old lady – probably kill her – or try to decelerate in about two meters. I chose to decelerate and just fell to the ground, grabbing my leg screaming not great words.”

“If they had to roll me into the cage to fight Natal, I would’ve fought him,” Kennedy continued. “In the cage, once they hoisted me up and lifted me into the cage, Natal would’ve had to shoot me and bludgeon me to death until I quit.”

So, if you weren’t impressed with Kennedy’s performance before, this news might change that. It was certainly a massive win for the vet, who although he defeated Roger Gracie by UD in his Octagon debut, it didn’t electrify audiences like last night’s KO.

Now it will be interesting to see who Kennedy fights next. Considering his run in Strikeforce and his recent wins with the UFC, chances are it will be top ten middleweight.

Marvel Teams Up with Netflix for Superhero Series

Superhero fans are in for a treat, as Marvel announced that it is developing four original series along with a miniseries for Netflix.

The exclusive partnership was announced on Thursday (November 7) and will feature specifically on characters Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage, in that order.

Netflix committed to four, 13-episode shows, which will finish up with “The Defenders” miniseries. The project is slated to start streaming in 2015. The live-action approach comes after Disney, the owner of Marvel, struck a distribution deal with the streaming service.

"This deal is unparalleled in its scope and size, and reinforces our commitment to deliver Marvel's brand, content and characters across all platforms of storytelling. Netflix offers an incredible platform for the kind of rich storytelling that is Marvel's specialty," Alan Fine, Marvel Entertainment president said in a statement. "This serialized epic expands the narrative possibilities of on-demand television and gives fans the flexibility to immerse themselves how and when they want in what's sure to be a thrilling and engaging adventure."

In addition, Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos added, "Marvel's movies, such as Iron Manand Marvel's The Avengers, are huge favorites on our service around the world. Like Disney, Marvel is a known and loved brand that travels. With House of Cards and our other original series, we have pioneered new approaches to storytelling and to global distribution and we're thrilled to be working with Disney and Marvel to take our brand of television to new levels with a creative project of this magnitude."

Build your own Galactic Empire with Star Wars: Tiny Death Star now available for iPhone and iPad

Ever wanted to build your very own Death Star complete with karaoke bar, plush apartments and interrogation rooms downstairs? Lucasarts is bringing all that to reality with the release of Star Wars: Tiny Death Star, which is available to download now from the App Store for iPhone and iPad.

If you've ever played the Tiny Tower game you'll be right at home. Tiny Death Star is an 8-bit retro styled game that puts you in charge of building the greatest weapon the universe has ever known. There's a bit of a cashflow problem though, and instead of The Emperor and Lord Vader going out and getting jobs, you encourage 'Bitizens' to come to live, work, and generate revenue on the Death Star.

It's not all play though, after all, this is the Empire we're talking about, and so beyond building retail outlets and karaoke bars, you also need to build Imperial levels for conducting, well, Imperial type business. As you complete missions, build levels, create jobs, you earn credits and Imperial Bux, both of which you need to carry on building until you have the biggest, baddest, but also coolest Death Star in the Universe.

The game is free to download, and there are in-app purchases with which you can buy more currency to build your Death Star a little quicker. It's insanely fun, insanely addictive, and definitely worth a look for the Star Wars fans out there. Or even if you're not. It's just a fun mobile game. Grab it in the App Store now at the link below, and do let me know what you think to it.
