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.

this is dumb as poo poo but in that metro pcs commercial it really seems like ronda has worked a lot on her acting, she was showing a lot more charm and charisma in her performance.

Is Alex White the one who drank paint when he was a kid and became more resistant to head trauma as a result?

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.

It was bad technically but what the gently caress do you expect for the first prelim fight? It still had a lot of action and funny poo poo.

it was really entertaining and showed all aspects of MMA in a not totally embarrassing way so yeah those people are dumb. However, I still stand by that it's not going to win Fight of the Night bonus cause that was easily go to Hendricks/Lawler II if it's anything like the first match so those guys just fought really hard for no reason.

Eh, sometimes the fight snobs need to recognize that some younger guys don't have skills yet, and they just need to sit back and enjoy the heart and effort.

They put it on fight pass, so its not like it was on the main card or anything.

I don't think the skills were even that bad. Like yeah they made some mistakes but they were fairly solid.

Pettis landed a couple nice submission attempts from his back, and hurt him with upkicks. Hobar didn't do much of anything, and when the sub attempts failed, Pettis got up without much trouble.
