DENVER – It may wind up being the quickest “Fight of the Night” in UFC history.
Melvin Guillard had bad intentions against Donald Cerrone early – and had “Cowboy” on the ropes in front of his home Denver fans. But Cerrone survived a big flurry of knees and punches from Guillard, his former training partner – and then, in a dramatic turnaround, knocked Guillard out just 1:16 into the first round. It was the first KO loss of Guillard’s career.
The lightweight bout served as the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC 150 event at Pepsi Center in Denver. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
