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.
well, the winner of this was destined to beat Jon Jones, so alright, now I have my answer

No, he's a douche and not good enough of a fighter to justify it, everyone hates him.

I hate pull the "do you even train?" card but I don't think you understand how grappling works.


In a BJJ match, you'd get 2 points for a takedown. If you didn't sweep afterwards, you'd lose.

I understand that, I'm talking about the concept that if a guy just buries his head in your chest and does nothing it is very difficult to do anything.

It looked like he was at an angle where Holloway was blocking his view of Akira so he couldn't see that he was out cold. Which is still his fault since knowing where to stand so you can see what is happening is a big part of reffing MMA.

He was, but he just strolled over without any urgency after Akira dropped like a stone and the watched him take about 3 punches while he was clearly out.
