Yoel Romero Opens as Nearly 4-to-1 Favorite Against Michael Bisping for Upcoming UFC Title Clash

Much of the discontent surrounding the proposed Michael Bisping–Georges St. Pierre UFC middleweight title fight came from the fact that the promotion’s No. 1 middleweight contender, Yoel Romero, had both earned his spot and was a serious threat to Bisping’s title reign. Now that the Ultimate Fighting Championship has pumped the breaks on Bisping-GSP and are angling for Bisping-Romero this summer, oddsmakers agree.

Prepare for every battle to define you with the Injustice 2 launch trailer

After nearly a year of anticipation, the sequel to NetherRealm Studios’ DC comics fighter, Injustice 2, finally drops tomorrow for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In celebration, NRS has released the game’s official launch trailer!

In it, we see a few more glimpses of Story mode; as Brainiac’s invasion of Earth begins, The Society–as well as the Regime and Insurgency remnants–wage a 3-way battle for power, control, and supremacy. With the largest roster in NRS history, an expansive Story mode with multiple branching pathways, the endless customization options of the Gear System, as well as the ever-changing Multiverse mode… there’s certainly plenty to unpack with this latest title. In addition, NRS and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have announced several competitive initiatives, to push the game heavily as an esport, with the GameStop Hometown Heroes circuit, the Injustice 2 Championship Series, and Stream.Me’s online “War of the Gods,” there are plenty of chances worldwide for heroes and villains to suit up and join the fight.

In addition, GameStop has released a hilarious “Tag Out” trailer to promote pre-order bonus character Darkseid, showing that many members of the cast want absolutely nothing to do with the God of Apokolips.

If playing on the go is more your speed, the Mobile version of Injustice 2 is out now for both iOS and Android devices. How will “every battle define you” once Injustice 2 releases? Let us know in the comments.

The Big House 7 moves from Dearborn to the Cobo Center in Detroit, running from October 6th-8th

As the premier autumn event in the Super Smash Bros. calendar, The Big House 7 is going large for this year’s event. Announced via a trailer at Royal Flush this past weekend, the Midwestern tournament is moving from its usual venue in Dearborn, Michigan to the Cobo Center in downtown Detroit. That’s right, The Big House is truly going big for 2017.

Registration isn’t available just yet, but expect singles and doubles for both Melee and Smash 4, along with some regional crew battles to settle some international scores. For Melee, Mango is the current Big House champion, taking three titles compared to Armada’s two. In Smash 4, ZeRo reigns supreme, having won both Big Houses where Smash 4 has been present. With the amount of talent nipping at his heels nowadays, we may see someone stopping his Big House three-peat.
