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.
I dunno I could see Lesnar keeping Hunt on the ground for 3 rounds but unable to finish him. Stipe had to land like 400 strikes on Mark Hunt on the ground to get a TKO stoppage and even then Hunt was mostly just exhausted from saturated fats clogging his system more than Stipe's punches.

The only fight I'm pretty sure isn't going the distance is Cain vs Browne. But every other fight on the main card would not be surprising if they went to a decision.

Why? Did he suddenly get the urge to fight again or is he just back for some cash, is there an interview somewhere of him saying stuff because I totally missed this train

I think Brock Lesnar is the only millionaire in the world who in the prime of their career went "You know what? I wanna move to Saskatchewan."

I wonder what the appeal is. He hates our health care, and I feel like there's similar bumfuck midwest towns you can hide in in the US. Is the hunting just thaaaat good? I'm having a hard time imaging that it's that different from what you can find in the US.

Saskatchewan has 1 million people and is 1.5x as big as California. Think how big of a ranch you could have.

Yeah, I did some quick googling and apparently the guy's straight up just wanting to farm these days, I'd guess there's cheap land. Still can't imagine it being too much different than farming in Montana or something though. Some old message board mentioned something about him first coming up to visit his brother who's a farmer in the region so maybe it's a family thing. It's all cool though, I'm sure the province is happy to have him, it ain't a bad endorsement.

He said it in the manner of setting up more Brazilians to get title opportunities at the moment. Jacare being a notable one for the MW division and maybe Maia if he keeps winning. Glover too potentially if DC beats Jones, if Jones wins I doubt he'd get a shot given the one sided loss he suffered.

Health care for Brock Lesnar involves taking him out back and shooting him or a private jet. I don't think he has to worry to much about what rating a local GP has on the boards.

Brock Lesnar is a person built to shoot. Hunt is my height, plus 100 pounds of weight, and knocks out champions for a living. This match is as beautifully rock paper scissors in how it goes down as it gets. It won't be some "for the ages" type deal. It's just going to be Bing, Bang, Boom.

I like the heavyweight division with Lesnar in it. But man Hunto is a tall cup of gently caress you to drink on your first time back.

Not sure if this is still true, but in a training video he said he has no internet access in his house and doesn't own a cell phone (although his wife does).

So I went and did some quick googling, really not that interested in Brock Lesnar the handsome thickly muscled WWE star, and even though I spent no time on it here's a bunch of details about his love of seasonal crop rotation

Wasn't one of the things he asked Dana for when he first started fighting was for Dana to buy him a $250K combine for his farm?

I'm not sure why people are surprised that a guy who grew up farming and now is rich as gently caress does farming as a hobby. Also not sure why people are surprised a rich, middle aged outdoorsy type spends his time outdoors instead of worrying about who said what on twitter.

Both Brock and Mark are rich guys with probably pretty good families. The one that is surprising for is Mark, not Brock, and good for him on becoming that success.

I heard that too, when he first signed he asked for a tractor. Dana said yes without knowing how incredibly expensive they are. Could be bullshit because I can't find any reference to it online and you'd think that some prime Dana ownage like that would have a lot of people lol'ing about it.
