Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
Conor McGregor could probably be the hypeman for Gunnar, and that would work pretty well.

Just got home just in time to see Story and Nelson walk out. Has the card been all right?

There were some bad prelims but the main card has been pretty entertaining.

Rick Story is going to introduce terror into the Gunnar Nelson program, causing critical systems failure with the aid of a looping right hook

All I know about this long argument is I really really want to see fights where the ref isn't allowed to call for a standup or break up a clinch for inactivity. Maybe somebody should start a promotion with special rules for that. You could market the PPVs as a natural sleep aid.

Yeaaah that's what I had in mind there. It's a weird situation because if the guy on top can't free himself to "earn" his continued position, then can you consider him to be active?

Whatever. There's a cyborg from a volcano fighting a guy with the world's tiniest head.

Story should really go for more leg kicks, Nelson is kind of open for them all day.

Welp, Gunnar didn't get that takedown so I guess it's just a 5 hour wait for the next one.
