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.
Apparently TJ Dillashaw wants to fight Demetrious Johnson if the Cody fight is off. that's cool.

Make it for an interim 135 belt, why the gently caress not.

I'm assuming MM vs TJ be a 135 title eliminator? Or has TJ shown interest in 125 before?

Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones posted:

“So, I’m sitting here, and I see him. Like, I see him. He’s over there. But is he really going to be in Anaheim?” Cormier said. “Is this guy really going to go to the fight? Is this guy going to mess this up again by doing steroids or snorting cocaine or sandblasting prostitutes. What’s this guy going to do to mess this up this time?”

“Prostitutes? I beat you after a weekend of cocaine,” Jones shot back.

“And prostitutes,” replied Cormier.

“I had two great weekends,” answered Jones. “Back-to-back weekends. Cocaine one, your rear end the next. It was great. That’s a month for the ages.”

It doesn't specify dropping 170 but that would be the only possible result. Having 155/165/175 would be great; there's more than enough talent for an additional division, and lots of fighters who are borderline due to the 15-pound gaps would have easier cuts and/or competition more their size. On the other hand, I'm dubious about adding 1-2 more divisions between 175 and heavyweight given the dire situation at 205. Sadly from a policy perspective it's logical; there are fighters making massive cuts to each 185 and 205, so something would need to be done. Maybe have it go 175/190/210? The respective 15 and 20 pound gaps would now be at a (slightly) higher weight, thus (slightly) reducing the incentive to do huge cuts. I can't think of any current heavies that would try to make 210 if it was added.

If you're banning weight cuts, 125/135/145/155/165/175/190/heavy is the only logical thing. The current bottom end of HW is guys around ~230 right now, it's not like Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman would be dwarfed by them, and everyone who's actually any good at LHW would be competitive at HW. If you put in a 205 class and reduced weight cutting you'd lose a few guys from LHW and still have a divisions as shallow as the current one, if you put in a division at 225 or so guys like JDS and Stipe could cut down to it and then HW would be completely useless.

many pages ago but this isn't how retroactivity and the law works. Retroactivity is about changing after the fact the law that applied at that time.

If the fact you murdered someone and hid them in your crawlspace doesn't come out until a decade later it's not somehow retroactive to prosecute you.

WEll sure, since murder is such a major crime that theres no statute of limitations for it. I don't feel that doing big time steroids falls into the same category. But if you disagree, hell, that;s fine. I'll just put you on ignore and move on.

On one hand it's not like Mighty Mouse has anyone left to fight. On the other with so many fighters having weight cutting issues TJ dropping ten pounds while being a tiny man seems like a recipe for a weight cut mishap.

I mean I think in the context of a sport particularly one involving beating the poo poo out of your opponent ped cheating is a big deal but I acknowledge some limitation period is desirable for suspensions - though fight results should be subject to being overturned whatever the time since. Given the limited window of a fighter's career, maybe 3 years since the fight? Something like that.

TJ isn't that much bigger than DJ and the dude is pretty yolked. I imagine if he dropped some of that muscle he could make the weight quite easily. loving cool as hell fight tbh. If it comes off I'd be hype as hell.

I think in the next 5 years or so we'll see more weight classes and titles and see a bunch of different fights put on. Having a 195 and a 165 could lead to some cool stuff. One of my mates who competes in One FC was talking about how their weight classes and cutting works and he says there has been talk of putting in some more classes to build super fights.

Could lead to stuff like Nate at 165 against Wonderboy or whatever.

I know the whole "dilution" aspect would give some people some pause, but it would help stop the interim issue and build some super fights.

There are way too many lightweights. There are a lot of advantages to creating a new divisional ladder and the only disadvantages that I can see involve temporary growing pains and a pretty big shock to the system. It's a move they're gonna want to do sooner or later

There's too many lightweights because there's way more than six of them. Some of these lightweights like TJ Dillashaw should cut to 115.
Anything's better than adding w125, because you can't even name more than six of those.

e; to further clarify, there are a lot of advantages to creating a new divisional ladder and the only disadvantages that i can see involve women fighting at 125 in the UFC

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.
