A word of advice: even if you’re the big dog in your gym, NEVER EVER accept the offer of a dude in a TapouT cowboy hat to spar, lest you might find yourself waking up with Donald Cerrone looking over you rubbing your chest and seeing if you’re okay.
Props to Donald for checking on his opponent without Greg Jackson’s prompting, though. And I call bullshit on the dude who posted it on YouTube being a friend of the guy who “Cowboy” KTFO. Friends don’t let friends with questionable stand-up spar with a UFC fighter, and they sure as hell don’t post it on YouTube.
We’re just playin’. The falling tree KO video actually was sent to us by JPReed1918 — the dude who shot the light sparring match-up between Cerrone and Andrei Arlovski’s brother….okay maybe it wasn’t Victor Arlovski, but he did look like him for a second there.
Here’s the actual explanation from the reader who shot the video:
Cage Potatoe <—-Dan Quail style,
So sorry I could not elaborate on the video. I figured it might get on a cagepotato link so I sent it during my class. The video was from a seminar Cerrone did for us and this was his 20-ish sparring match in a row. Dude let everyone who was there spar with him. He is a fucking class act and in fact he did the seminar for free for our gym. He had no ill intention of knocking out my teammate. He got tagged and after I ended the video all sparring stopped and we all had a good laugh. He was really concerned for my friend and felt terrible. We all went to hooters after. True story.
Good talk,
JPReed
