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.

Here's the thread since nobody made it.

16 women will fight for the vacant UFC Strawweight title.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Someone get BeanFried to do a background check on all these women... oh who am I kidding he would already have it.

Oh poo poo, a seeded tournament. I wish they did that on all TUFs tbh. The coaches picking the fighters usually ends up with one lopsided team.

So far so good. It's the best opener since the Jones/Chael season and maybe a little better.

Everybody already has a better story than all the men's TUFs. I have a feeling that they could get more mileage out of this show if they went with this format every time.
