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.

lol Hendo is fighting Lombard, forgot about that.

I believe it's Hendo's last fight on his contract too. He says how the fight goes will play a huge role in if he retires/tries to sign with UFC again/explores free agency.

So I'm somewhat conflicted. On one h-bomb hand I hope Dan Henderson punches Hector Lombard's head off and it flies into the audience and blood gets everywhere. But if that happens there's a good chance Hendo doesn't retire yet. But I can't in good faith want Lombard to win that fight in any form or fashion. Soooo poo poo.

There are rumors about hunt/jds 2 at 200

There are rumors about hunt/jds 2 at 200

This is the article from the (terrible NewsCorp) website a friend of mine linked me earlier today.

quote:

AUSSIE power puncher Mark Hunt is preparing to jet to the US as he banks on a potential heavyweight showdown at UFC 200.
Hunt, who has returned to training on the Gold Coast, has revealed he is targeting a rematch with Junior dos Santos for the blockbuster card on July 10.
As the promotion builds a mouth-watering weekend of bouts as part of International Fight Week, the New Zealand-born “Super Samoan” has been told by UFC president Dana White to stay in shape.
“I’m still waiting on word but it should be not far away at all,” Hunt said of a possible appearance at UFC 200.
“I can’t tell you much more. I was talking to Dana the other day but that’s all I know.
“Maybe is all I can say. I was trying to get on the New York card (UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden), but we’ll see what happens.
The historic Las Vegas card already boasts the top-five heavyweight bout between Cain Velasquez and Travis Browne but Hunt remains on “standby”.
“I’ve just started training in the Gold Coast and I’m just tossing up whether to set up camp in Vegas,” Hunt said.
“Not knowing whether there’s a fight or not ... it’s just one of those things where I have to keep training.
“I’ll probably set up camp in America, have two weeks sparring and Bob’s your uncle.
“I’m just the fill in guy at the moment.”
Hunt will happily take on any of the top-five contenders — Velasquez, Fabricio Werdum, Overeem, dos Santos and Ben Rothwell — as he bids for a title shot with new champ Stipe Miocic but he is eager to avenge his loss at UFC 160 in 2013.
“I’ve already asked Dana if I can fight JDS,” Hunt said.
“I’ve asked for all of them. I’ve lost to all of those guys (above me) except for Ben Rothwell and of course I’m salty about the loss to Stipe because he gave over a hiding over five rounds.
“It doesn’t sit well with me and a rematch is never the same for me ... with anyone.
“I’ve asked the boss and I’m just waiting on a reply ... that’s all.”
Hunt, 42, admitted the loss to Miocic at UFC Fight Night Adelaide last May continues to cut deep, given the Croatian-born American used his victory to launch to a UFC championship.
“To be honest, I’m happy for Stipe and it wasn’t my turn,” Hunt said.
“I made the wrong decisions, I made the wrong calls and I didn’t cut weight right. It was nothing to do with Stipe, he did the right things and that’s why he’s the champion.
“That’s my fault. I made the mistakes and it’s up to me to make the right choices.
“I’ve gone back to the drawing back and I’m coming to get that title. I do think I can beat him, of course, and I feel I can beat anybody.
“It’s great to see the title change hands all the time, there’s never one dominant fighter, and it’s going to be my time soon.”
Having strung back-to-back victories and climbed to No. 8 on the heavyweight rankings, Hunt believes he’s in the form of his life.
“I’m getting a lot better,” he said.
“When I first started I didn’t have all that experience, but now it’s the other way around.
“Having all this experience makes training a lot easier, and knowing that I can beat any of these guys at the top end is a plus for me.”

Looking at all the fights announced for 200 and there's not a single one that couldn't be main card at any other event

I don't want to see JDS vs Hunt again. Hunt is always one punch away from a win but Junior is good at staying on the outside and I can this going the same way as the first match or JDS vs Rothwell. I'd have rather seen Hunt rematch Rothwell himself or fight the Turd Golem.

My buddy's flying to Vegas from the UK at the end of August for the BJJ Masters. He was hoping to get lucky with the UFC scheduling. Is 202 likely to be in August, and if so, is it likely to be in Vegas? Seems to be a bit of a hole in the calendar after the glut in July.

201 is July 30th and 203 is September 10th so it pretty much has to be in August unless it's the weekend before 203 which is fairly unlikely.

Mark broke his toe really early in the fight and it hampered his movement. Even then, he still got some shots in. JDS has definitely lost a step and Mark is in better shape than he likely was for their last fight. I think Hunt takes a rematch via 2nd round KO.

My personal favorite thing Dan Hardy ever did was enthusiastically talk up how great Gunnar Nelson was doing as he steadily and methodically got his rear end kicked by Rick Story, but I am not sure that's actually a glowing endorsement of his skills as a commentator or analyst.
