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.

Bad At Everything

Apparently FOX Sports just didn't renew their contract with Mike, and he was actually led to believe that he would be with them for quite a while once he left MMA Fighting. So that's a bummer for him.

He was a good, neutral kind of guy too. I hope someone picks him up.

To say this segment was bizarre is an understatement - it could be the oddest thing we've ever seen on mainstream MMA in the US. There is an obvious parallel here to Bellator's Spike TV stablemates TNA. Because this segment was straight up professional wrestling. The semi-scripted promos from both men, the clearly staged brawl, the reveal of the mysterious masked man (a former ally of Tito's turned against him!) - this was exactly what some people feared would happen when fighters like Tito Ortiz, King Mo, Bobby Lashley, and Rampage Jackson began crossing over between TNA and Bellator. Last night, the carny world of professional wrestling invaded the sport of MMA in a big way.

And it was glorious.

...

1.) This was a wise business move

...

At a time when the UFC is churning out show after show, with many of those events feeling decidedly ho-hum and unmemorable, a little bit of fun in MMA may be just what fans need. And it's not as if this is a new model - for years, Japan used a healthy dose of fun to dominate the worldwide MMA scene. Bellator is simply taking aspects of that Japanese model and bringing it here to the US.

By using the names they have effectively, by incorporating aspects of that Japanese model, and by embracing the entertainment, Bellator may just have found the niche that will allow them to be a separate and distinct brand from the UFC. And, most importantly, a successful separate and distinct brand that is fun to watch. And at the end of the day, isn't that what this is all about?

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.

Greg Jackson posted:

No you see by adding in elements to separate them from the monopoly they will greatly increase their niche and be a substantial federation by the end of the year. Why all they need now is an X-Division and use six sided ropes instead of a cage and they'll beat WWE in six months. Also signing Vince Russo.

Wait who are we talking about again?

What the gently caress is going on? I feel like I saw some fights in a retarded ring and these names are familiar...am I having a stroke or something? I thought I quit drinking ages ago.

There are just so many things wrong, I can't even motivate myself to write an indepth critique of their analysis so I'll just give some bullet points. If anyone doesn't understand one, I will elaborate.

  • If Bellator keeps doing this, they are no longer in the same space as the UFC.
  • If they keep doing this, they are going to alienate some of their actual fighters in lieu of a few aging light heavyweights.
  • Although we have all watched that video and laughed at it, not everyone is interested in a product like that. If we were, we'd probably watch pro wrestling.
  • The Japanese Model might not be the best one to draw ideas from.
  • I have a hard time believing this is actually going to drum up additional interest in the fight. We'd all probably watch that fight anyway because it's going to be so bad.
  • Tito has a high probability of getting hurt before this fight anyway, making this whole thing a waste of effort and time.

He's not the champion, they're making him fight Chandler again for the belt, and still calling him the Interim Champ. Now that Alvarez has left, Brooks should be champ by default, but that would hurt their ability to market Chandler, so...

It devolved into FRB and the CEO of sucker punch big-timing each other, then making empty threats to street fight. Like 'Don't you know who I am? I'm friends with Chael, you're just some regional promoter', *posts picture with arm candy babe*

FRB is such a thin skinned baby its incredible. And of all the WMMA fighters, Felice :swoon: is the one you pick as masculine? He also picks on all the ring girls as being cokeheads. He's the poster boy for MMA misogyny culture.

VV yeah, I have a column for "MMA 'NEWS'" and "PSP BROS" on twitter. Every time I think about replying to FRB's bullshit, I have to stop and think: wait, literally no one takes this dickhole seriously as a journalist, he tweets for Just Bleed types and Metamoris wouldn't let him in. His shtick of Rebel Outsider Giving the Unvarnished Truth About UFC is so paper thin it's laughable.
