Massive congratulations to CCP sponsored UFC fighter Gunner Nelson tonight, with another emphatic win in the UFC cage at Wembley.
Sporting the DUST 514 and Eve Logos on his rear, he solo'd his way through 3 rounds, no boosters, no links, no implants. Picking his punches, kicks, elbows and knees, and even occasionally taking to the mat, he dominated what is his hardest fight to date.
Grats big man, grats.

P.S - We can forgive you for getting caught at the final bell :P

Solo 4 Life.1v1 always honored, flying without booster alt since Oct 2010. No ransoms honored even if offered :)

I was almost thinking his opponent was going to fall down after those uppercuts from Gunnar near the middle of the third round, he was wobbling around and he was actually having a hard time keeping his balance, Gunnar could have been more aggressive and finished the fight but he was thinking he had already won by that mark and decided to play it safe, (and also maybe getting tired as well.)

Anyways, congrats to Gunnar and CCP! :D

Til hamingju með sigurinn Gunni!

He's building up your confidence so he can scam you later.

It was fun watching the fight and cheering for Gunni with a bunch of other CCPers in our cantina!

Just a reminder that Nelson will be at Fanfest this year!

Why would he do that? That is so not EVE....


"Fozzie could not comment on when this issue would be resolved and stated that “one day Veritas will come up to me and say ‘hey I fixed off-grid boosting’”, but he had no idea on a potential timeframe for this sort of miracle."

good fight. his changing stances confused the other guy. had two good take downs,great short punching and elbows. pretty sure his chin is made from trit and mexallonShocked small for a welterweight but makes up for it with speed . should do well in ufc , crowd was behind him too . good exposure for dust and ccp . maybe ccp should sponser the ring girls then we would have some attractive dust bunnies ShockedCool

Post in OOPE, please.

Why is it that CCP - an online gaming company - is seeking to make a connection to this?

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

A guy who punches in faces is at the centre of Iceland's patriotism? Or are there more?

In that respect it's kinda like the US military or politics, and that seems to get people's patriotism gland working overtime just fine.
