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 dont really want to see Silva fight anymore. he should go out on this one

nah. Anderson's best days are behind him but I don't think Anderson looked terrible out there. He could fight a top ranked 185 or GSP like other people suggested and he'd do okay and could win, which is worth it cause this Diaz fight didn't amount to much. It ain't like he looked like BJ Penn last summer.

yeah it's a shame she made 16k for the Rousey fight because she desperately needs to leave her lovely camp and go somewhere where they have a BJJ coach

I havent had a plrecription for my eyes in years so the other day I went and got a new one and it hasnt changed. The doctor was like why havent you seen us in 4 years? I told them im scared of op tomietris when the air shoots into your eyes and dilation. They told me my eyes cold get worse....
I really don't know what to think about that main event. Tate is all hosed up with a broken orbital and I still can't believe she was in what I would consider an entertaining fight. I don't like her very much and wanted to see her lose but tonight she had a good fight vs McMann. One of the better fights on he card.

The brunson knock out was god drat hilarious. Alves kick that made Mein look like a gasping raptor was unexpected and pretty awesome as well. There was a lot of fun stuff tonight. UFC 183 was pretty cool and worthwhile compared to the jones vs cormier poo poo fest (rest of card).

Yeah. Ever since Chael called him out for pretending to not speak English he has been speaking without a translator.

I'm not a big Silva fan, but I really don't want to risk Jacare or Vitor steamrolling him inside a round. This is a cruel sport we watch and I'm trying to get away from negativity. Silva should retire now or fight Lisping then retire.

This is so funny. No one would have imagined this with all the other fights such as Lauzon and Anderson Silva fighting but yet here we are in 2015 where Tim Boetsch gets choked outa nd it is considered fight of the night. That fight was rad.

Iaquinta was looking pretty good tonight. It will be interesting to see who they pair him up with next.

I don't really think this would happen.

Silva might have looked a little gunshy but he wasn't doing poorly or anything.

But Diaz presented exactly zero threat and Silva wasn't able to really do much. Dude this is like Jon Jones looking pretty good against CB dolloway.

When I see Boetsch and choke together, I am reminded of the demise of our friend Yushin Okami and feel a little bit down.

And Silva absolutely pulverised Maia for 2 rounds and had him looking like chunk. He was absolutely and undeniably destroying him until he went funny and stopped fighting.

Anderson will always be a counter fighter and a fight against someone who isn't offering him anything will devolve into a dance contest punctuated by occasional violence.

One thing I was surprised by is that Anderson couldn't get thai plum when he was fishing for it.
