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.
We're spoiled by UFC these days. When a guy gets injured in UFC our immediate reaction is "oh, I hope they get a decent replacement" and then they do. for WSOF and Bellator every event hangs by a thread.

It's just really funny because Pitbull was already throwing fits before this and has been waiting for a really long time for this

I secretly hope they do this and make it for an interim title so all their good weight classes will have double champions and they can do an all-unification PPV where they try to stay straightfaced about how hard-earned their championships are

I was going to say their 135 lb division is a joke, but it is a good joke.

Rampage also called out Schoonover at the press conference when he initially signed. Schoonover is 3-6 in his last 9 since his TUF run, is coming off a loss, and hasn't fought at a recognizable promotion in 4 years.

In other words, a perfect addition to Bellator MMA.

For the record, I've never, ever picked an opponent. I've always had my opponents selected for me by the promotion. I've never had a preference. I was simply told who I was fighting, and I fought them.

I want to be clear on this, whatever was written into my contract, was written by Bellator. I made no changes at all to the contract. If it says that I have to fight Mike Chandler again, that's because Bellator wants it that way.

I think it's only fair and right, just in the way things should go in a promotion, for me to fight Will Brooks. To me, that's the right way to go. I don't want to be a part of this whole debacle. It's very messy, and it just doesn't feel right that a guy has an interim belt, yet I'm supposed to fight another guy coming off a loss to the guy with the interim belt.

Will Brooks should be the guy they put me in front of for my next fight. Just know that whoever is picked, whoever I end up fighting, it was never my decision. Don't let anyone tell you any differently, it's not my decision and it never was.

I'm happy to see James Thompson headlining MMA cards in North America again, however, Bellator contracts are the worst. I am conflicted.

Yeah for sure. My personal theory is that if Eric Prindle can get multiple Bellator fights, so can JT so it's kinda ironic that his first fight is against Prindle.

Too many times JT has made an announcement on Facebook and then 10'minutes later is ringing everyone to tell them to delete it and shut up as he's been told it was meant to be a secret, I wasn't going to go through that again when it actually could matter.

Finally we have a legit reason to watch! I'm looking forward to reading the contract.

No he has a cat that he purchased as a gift for his fiancé, the cat hates him and bullies him.

He also has a baby on the way.
