Brock Lesnar vs. Alistair Overeem might be getting more publicity, but Nate Diaz vs. Donald Cerrone will steal the show.
When Diaz and Cerrone take the center of the cage on Dec. 30, fight fans can expect a war of attrition. Both guys always come into a fight in great shape and always bring it. After all of the great fights that have taken place this year, this fight has the makings to top them all.
Both fighters possess flashy fighting styles and are coming off impressive performances inside the Octagon. Diaz destroyed Takanori Gomi with his boxing in his last fight, and Cerrone blasted Dennis Siver with some brilliant kickboxing.
In both performances, Cerrone and Diaz dominated the stand-up, and used their Jiu-Jitsu once it hit the ground to finish the fights in the first round.
Add in the fact that these two are motivated and fired up to fight one another, and you’ve got yourself a barn-burner in the making.
These are the reasons why Diaz and Cerrone will be a fight that fans’ won’t soon forget.
