Sharp jab scored for Cerrone, who looked for a high kick on the break of the clinch. Cerrone’s face looked battered as Price landed another two hooks. Clean left hook landed for Price and snapped the jaw, but Cerrone fired back with a body kick.

Price opened the final round with four hard low kicks. Price nearly gets taken down by defends successfully in strange fashion. Long jab scored for Price. Big right hand connected by Price, by Cerrone landed a good return body kick. Snapping jab scored for Cerrone. Double eye poke stalls the action! Cerrone scored a takedown and jumped into back mount.
