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.

Cruz/Faber always felt like less of a rivalry and more like a sidebar example of "conflict" from a page in a afterschool script writing class workbook. If it wasn't real life it'd be too cliche to take seriously.

Vitor totally pissed hot. I wonder if the ufc advised him to strategically withdraw his application.

Vitor used some of his wife's anti-aging cream to masturbate and he had a Benjamin Button situation. He decided to withdraw for fear of the drug tester seeing his totally smooth baby carrot penis

“Just to clear up a couple things, people think we’re in contract negotiations with Jon Jones – we’re not,” he said. “Jon Jones still has five fights left on his contract. So what we’re doing right now is trying to get him to sign the bout agreement for Gustafsson. He doesn’t want to fight Gustafsson. … Lorenzo and I have a meeting with Jones on Thursday to get him to sign the bout agreement, and he’s asking to fight Cormier instead.”

I don't get it. I get it if Jones doesn't want to fight Gustafsson because he might lose, but Jon Jones is a prize fighter. he wants money. He literally makes fun of Donald Cerrone because Cowboy doesn't make anywhere near the amount he makes. Jones vs Gustafsson II is the biggest fight UFC is going to do this year. What the heck is the problem

Don't get me wrong I'm going to enjoy Jon Jones losing his belt on a 250k buyrate PPV and the Gustafsson money vanishes, that's cool

It's pretty much a done deal that he's going to fight them both, but I appreciate his show of dedication to the JBJ brand by ducking one of them anyway. Surprised he didn't call out Maldonado at the same time.

So he's got five fights left and they want what exactly? Another 5? When he's the most dominant champ, top of the p4p lists and in the strongest negotiating position? What dana is saying doesn't make a lot of sense imo.

Presumably they are offering additional money for the contract extension in order to secure the bout agreement

That's actually kind of an interesting point, because nominally Jones' manager is Malki Kawa, but on Embedded the negotiations were being handled by a different dude whose name I don't recall.

Yeah, the only articles I see saying Harriman is his manager are using the embedded video as a source. Would a fighter ever have two managers?

I mean, there's nothing preventing it, but paying two people to do the same job seems kind of senseless?

I'd forgotten about the Harriman/Ortiz bail thing though, that's interesting.
