<p><span class="datetime">May 16, 2012 &#8211; </span>If you missed out on one of the year&#8217;s most thrilling brawls, check out Korean Zombie vs. Dustin Poirier fight highlights, courtesy of FOX Sports.</p>
<p>UFC on FUEL 3 took place May 15, 2012, at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA. Upstart featherweight contenders Chan Sung Jung (13-3) and Dustin Poirier (12-2) squared off in the night&#8217;s main event, with the winner likely becoming the next No. 1 contender in the UFC&#8217;s 145-pound division. Catch the video highlights below.</p>
<p>For more on Jung&#8217;s spectacular victory, check out the play-by-play from MMA Fighting&#8217;s own Ben Fowlkes.</p>
<blockquote><p>Round 1: Jung catches a Poirer body kick early on and uses it to bring him to the mat. Poirer pops up quickly and clinches him against the fence. Short elbows in close by Poirer, but Jung gets the takedown and goes to work from Poirer&#8217;s guard. Jung gets his posture and throws down some elbows from the top. Poirer seems to have a cut near the top of his forehead already, and those things sure can bleed. Jung gets a little space and eats an upkick before Poirer scrambles up and reverses to get top position. Jung gets to his feet against the fence and takes a hard left from Poirer. They both open up with hooks, and Poirer shoots for a takedown before the horn sounds.<b>MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Jung.</b></p>
<p>Round 2: Just like in the first, Jung catches a Poirer body kick and this time adds a straight right as he uses it to take Poirer down. Good ground-and-pound by Jung. He could really do some work here if he can maintain the top position. Jung fakes a pass attempt and slams a hard left home. He lets Poirer up, then moments later rocks him with a big knee and reverses a takedown attempt to wind up in mount. Poirer is holding on from the bottom, but Jung rolls for an armbar. He transitions to a triangle, then back to an armbar, then triangle. Somehow, Poirer holds on and gets the top position. Jung tries another triangle and it looks tight, but the horn saves Poirer. <b>MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Jung.<br /></b></p>
<p>Round 3: Poirer swings wildly to start the third, maybe trying to do too much all at once in order to get back into this. Jung resists the urge to brawl (for now, anyway), and keeps attacking with jabs and kicks. Jung slips a punch and gets a body lock takedown, adding a couple short punches on the mat before brining the action back to the feet. Poirer is lunging in with his punches, but Jung seems to be slowing way down. He may have expended too much energy trying to finish those submissions in the second. Jung keeps backing Poirer up, landing solid shots when Poirer&#8217;s back hits the fence. The end the round hammering each other with big hooks. Poirer smiles through the blood on his way to his corner. <b>MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Jung.</b></p>
<p>Round 4: Poirer tries to get the jab working to start the round. A big uppercut from Jung backs him up and a knee rocks him. A woozy Poirer shoots for a desperate takedown attempt. Jung locks up a D&#8217;arce choke and rolls to cinch it in. Poirer is stuck, and has to tap. Great performance and a big win for the Zombie.</p>

<p><span class="datetime">May 16, 2012 &#8211; </span>It wasn&#8217;t one of the UFC&#8217;s bigger fights of the year, but it was certainly one of the best. Last night&#8217;s UFC on FUEL 3 at the Patriot Center on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia delivered. Much to my surprise (and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m not alone) Can Sung Jung has emerged as a legitimate featherweight contender and did so by dispatching Dustin Poirier in a highly-entertaining affair. </p>
<p>Join me at 1 p.m. ET as we break down all of last night&#8217;s action. We&#8217;ll talk about ESPN boxing reporter Dan Rafael being in attendance at last night&#8217;s event, Dana White&#8217;s illness that forced him to not attend the event, where Amir Sadollah is really headed and more. We&#8217;ll also look ahead to this weekend&#8217;s final of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix between Josh Barnett and Daniel Cormier. And if you want, we can talk about this Braulio Estima-Nick Diaz nonsense (including what the judge really said about his lawsuit against the NSAC), but am I wrong in thinking everyone is tired of that at this point?</p>
<p>Remember: you can log in to our Scribblelive service using Twitter, Facebook or by creating your own username. Be back here at 1 p.m. ET ready to question, challenge, applaud and complain.</p>

<p>We already knew that <a href="http://www.topspeed.com/cars/mclaren/index64.html">McLaren</a> was planning a roadster version for their new <a href="http://www.topspeed.com/cars/mclaren/2011-mclaren-mp4-12c-ar78914.html">MP4-12C</a> model, but now it has been confirmed: an official debut will be made by the end of 2012. The new <a href="http://www.topspeed.com/cars/mclaren/2013-mclaren-mp4-12c-spyder-ar111593.html">MP4-12C Spyder</a> will be identical to its coupe brother, except of course, for its drop top appeal.</p>
<p>Just like the coupe version, the future Spyder will be offered with a V8 engine, as will every other model from the British company, because there will be no V12 engine offered in any McLaren models in the near future.  This, however, doesn&#8217;t mean that the <a href="http://www.topspeed.com/cars/mclaren/2013-mclaren-mp4-27-ar109646.html">upcoming successor</a> for the <a href="http://www.topspeed.com/cars/mclaren-f1/ke1159.html">legendary F1</a> will only deliver 593 HP. McLaren said that the V8 engine has been built to be very flexible and can be tuned to any desired level.</p>
<p>The next F1 supercar will have conventional side-by-side seating (unlike the 1+2 layout of the original McLaren F1), a V8 engine coupled to a dual-clutch transmission, and plenty of lightweight carbon fiber. It will be unveiled sometime in 2013.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over at The Eater, Talia Baiocchi is a bit offended, or at least disheartened, that America&#8217;s most powerful wine buyer doesn&#8217;t believe that wine is much more special than toilet paper or tin foil. Talia, a keen observer of the wine world and a very good marketer, has reason to be offended by this.</p>
<p>Talia&#8217;s moment of virtual head-shaking comes in response to a CNBC video featuring Annette Alvarez-Peters, Costco&#8217;s head wine buyer, who responds to an interviewer&#8217;s query about wine perhaps being more special thant toilet paper or tin foil with:<strong><span> &#8220;I don&#8217;t think so&#8221;</span></strong>.Â  Alverez-Peter&#8217;s conclusion is, <strong><span>&#8220;People can look at it that way. But at the end of the day, it&#8217;s a beverage.&#8221; </span></strong><span><span>I suspect that more than a few other lovers of the grape were equally offended upon learning of this view of wine held by the wine buyer at </span></span><span>Costco.</span></p>
<p>Here is a woman responsible for the selection from which vast numbers of Americans will choose their wine. Costco is the leading retailer of wine in America. And she doesn&#8217;t think wine is that special&#8230;or at least not much more special than toilet paper.</p>
<p><strong>Now, I&#8217;m not much of a connoisseur of toilet paper, but, like with wine, I can tell the difference between ordinary toilet paper and superb toilet paper. And I suspect that Ms. Alvarez-Peters is no different than me.</strong></p>
<p>So all this begs a somewhat important question: Does one need to hold a feeling of reverence for wine in order to successfully choose a selection for the buying public? Given what we know about the success of the Costco wine program and about Ms. Alvarez-Peter&#8217;s disposition, the answer is certainly &#8220;no&#8221;.</p>
<p>Though it&#8217;s fairly clear from the CNBC video that despite her view of wine being not any more special than toilet paper or tin foil, Ms. Alvarez-Peters does know a little something about wine. But more importantly, she knows a good deal about what her customer base wants from the wine selection in her hundreds of Costco stores around the country and that this knowledge is far more important than possessing a reverence for wine.</p>
<p>So, all this begs an important question: What are the paramount requirements for a professional wine buyer? I think we can break them down to this:</p>
<p><strong>1. Knowledge of your customers&#8217; desires</strong><br /><strong>2. Knowledge of the product</strong><br /><strong>3. Knowledge of buying and market trends</strong></p>
<p>I honestly don&#8217;t think that if there is a 4th on that list, that it is likely to be a reverence for wine or the view that wine is any more special than most other consumer products. No matter where I shop for my wine, I don&#8217;t need the person putting the wine on the shelf to have any special love for wine. What I need is for them to put the wines on the shelves that I want and understand why I want them. Beyond that, they need to be able to answer my questions and understand why I ask them. I won&#8217;t be be clasping my hand in theirs, bowing my head with them, and praising the magnificence of the bottles.</p>

<p><span class="datetime">May 14, 2012 &#8211; </span>A devastating first-round loss to Travis Browne was all it took for Chad Griggs to reconsider his heavyweight status.</p>
<p>Announced Monday, Griggs will be welcomed into the 205-pound division by Phil Davis at UFC on FOX 4, which is slated for August 4, 2012 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. Both men have verbally agreed to the match-up, though UFC officials did not detail if it will take place on the network broadcast.</p>
<p>The light heavyweight clash joins a card already featuring high-profile matches between Lyoto Machida vs. Ryan Bader, Brian Stann vs. Hector Lombard and Travis Browne vs. Ben Rothwell.</p>
<p>Davis (9-1) hopes to rebound after suffering the first setback of his young career, a listless unanimous decision loss to former champion Rashad Evans in January. Prior to that, the 27-year-old All-American wrestler blazed through nine straight victories, including five under the Zuffa banner over the likes of Brian Stann, Alexander Gustafsson and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.</p>
<p>Griggs (11-2), meanwhile, looks to right the ship after having a surprising six-fight win streak snapped by the loss to Browne in his UFC debut. The former Strikeforce heavyweight has proven to be a mighty finisher thus far in his career, knocking out or submitting all 11 of his victories, including a stunning second-round TKO of Bobby Lashley back in 2010.</p>
