Meanwhile Dominic actually inputs things that you wouldn't know by just watching the fights. So, honestly it shouldn't have been that big of a deal especially since DC admitted that he doesn't do research and has someone else put notes on paper before he commentates fights. DC has always been soft with his emotions and that's been shown throughout both of his careers.

      Not really, DC shouldn't have gotten emotional about it. We're talking about a guy who'll put himself down on a moment's notice just because someone else was setting up an excuse for him right after the hardest night of his life. When DC saw it, he should've thought yea he's right, after all he literally admitted to it anyways so why is he acting all butthurt because someone called him out on it respectfully. He said he gets people to take notes and gives it to him before the fight so obviously Dom was right. DC will start crying over just about anything.

      Yes cruz should have said it in private actually all others, in the commentary team should have pulled DC..DC is funny but cruz was a 100 percent correct..since then DC does now sometimes do his homework although bless him his rambling about a fighter often contradicting himself in the same sentence but its just repeating what jo or bisping has said lol. When the camera pans round often DC is on his phone. The truth hurt.
      Cruz is great explaining moves and his knowledge is plain to see. Although the last few times he's been on he's been showing his loyalty to the fights he wants to win nad that's a DC move

      He was already biased before the fight since his pal was fighting. So he should have tried his best to provide an unbiased commentary. Yes alot of commentators have a biased take at times. They are human after all.
      He happened to voice his disagreement with Herb's decision to stop the fight late on a live show......while the ufc brass was watching the whole debacle. Put up a complain after wards or in private with Herb or something. Dan was an employee working for UFC then and his actions reflected on the UFC branding on a live show. Not a good look. To an outsider, it is like UFC cannot get their shit together. UFC just chose to clean house.

    Dominic Cruz could retire and never come back to the sport and I really think 99.9% of the mma fan base wouldn’t give af.

    I like how Pat handled his exit from PFL. Pat knew it was going to cause problems for PFL even if they wanted to keep him so he just left without causing a fuss.
    Other loud mouths could take note and they would probably get back to work quicker.

    The best part about the Joe Rogan thing, is when Izzy came to his defense in the press conference, honestly. 🔥
