Dominick Cruz wins and takes over Studio 54! UFC's Wanderlei celebrates! Spokes models also!

Dominick Cruz

MGM Grand Hotel & Casino was buzzing with excitement Saturday
night after the most heated rivalry in the history of the bantamweight division
came to a close when 135-pound champion Dominick Cruz defeated all-time rival
Urijah Faber in the UFC 132 bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Travis and Dominick

After conquering the only man
to defeat him, Cruz headed over to Studio 54 to celebrate his triumph in style.
Cruz was all smiles on the red carpet and posed playfully with sexy,
bikini-clad Tropic Beauty Model Search Contestants and his prized belt.  Cruz was joined on the carpet by BLINK-182
drummer Travis Barker who congratulated him on the win. The twosome, both sporting
black Famous Stars and Straps shirts, posed for photos outside the energized
venue. 

Inside the iconic nightclub,
DJ Kid Jay kept the party rocking with hits like “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black
Eyed Peas. Cruz and Barker continued to hang out in a private VIP area overlooking the packed nightclub while Cruz reveled in his
triumph along with a large group of friends, including fellow UFC fighter Brandon Vera.

Wanderlei Silva

Meanwhile, fan-favorite
Wanderlei Silva celebrated his 35th birthday and return to the cage after more
than a year at Tabú Ultra Lounge following his match against Chris Leben. Silva
was met outside the venue by a flock of faithful fans and after posing for
photos on the carpet, took time to shake hands, sign autographs and even pose
for photos.

Silva enjoyed the extravagant
bash, sponsored by XYIENCE, the maker of Xenergy, the official drink of UFC, with a large entourage including sexy XYIENCE spokesmodels Amanda
Corey and Amber Nichole, fellow UFC fighter
Mark Hominick and his wife Tea Silva.

Silva enjoyed the sounds of
DJ Mike Carbonell from his secluded VIP area and was surprised with a three-tier black and white birthday
cake. Silva playfully posed for birthday photos with his wife before blowing
out the candles and cutting slices for his guests.

Cruz and Silva continued
their celebratory events at the two Vegas hot spots into the early morning
hours.
