Anderson Silva throws shoulder during UFC 148 weigh-in (VIDEO)
During Friday's weigh-ins for UFC 148, middleweight champion Anderson Silva threw a shoulder at longtime rival Chael Sonnen, his opponent for Saturday. The move, which connected with Sonnen's face, led to a tense moment where the two had to be separated by UFC president Dana White. Check out what happened here:
The animosity between the two fighters has been building for two years. They fought at UFC 117, and Silva won with a late submission after being dominated for most of the bout. Since then, Sonnen has called himself the true champion, and said he didn't really lose the fight. He was also quite creative in his insults of Silva's home country of Brazil.

During Thursday's press conference, they also had to be separated, as Silva leaned in and whispered something unknown to Sonnen. But was his shoulder check on Friday over the line?
Scuffling at weigh-ins is not an every day occasion in the UFC, but it's not unheard of. Most recently, BJ Penn and Nick Diaz pushed and shoved before their UFC 137 bout. It's part of the gamesmanship that happens before some fights.

AT&T reveals new multi-beam antenna tech for live events, could offer data speeds five times faster (video)
AT&T's improving its coverage at live events by establishing a new (impressive sounding) setup -- the five-beam multi-beam antenna. It works by dividing its customers' signals into five narrow parts, illustrated above by the color bands, upping the bandwidth by splitting traffic to each segment, enabling up to five times the data traffic. Ma Bell even used similar technology to craft a "super" multi-beam antenna, which expands the same idea into two rows of nine, possibly offering up to 18 times the speed of a typical single-tower arrangement. AT&T adds that this setup also reduces dropped calls and failed uploads, and is apparently already being put to use at live concerts and games. Not quite wrapping your head around it? Check the video after the break.
