Frank Curreri, UFC – In the mold of extraordinary fighters like Arturo Gatti and “Minotauro” Nogueira, Donald Cerrone has a knack for playing the role of human punching bag in a way that is equal parts mesmerizing, unbelievable and unforgettable. Yet when opponents hurt Cerrone, crazy as it sounds, he seems to have them exactly where he wants them. Time and again the lanky lightweight has been overwhelmed and embattled inside of the cage, particularly in rounds one and two, but he always storms back and transforms into a Cain Velasquez type of terminator who relentlessly stalks winded opponents and pushes them to the brink.
