Fallout: UFC 206 Delivers On Battles For The Ages

UFC 206 was in some real trouble. The loss of the Daniel Cormier/Anthony Johnson main event made it seem like the event would be less than stellar. When Anthony Pettis and a number of other fighters missed weight the day before the event it seemed like UFC 206 was doomed (more on that later). But after all was said and done the show ended up being one of the more exciting events of the year, namely for some featherweight action at the top of the card.

UFC 206 was in some real trouble. The loss of the Daniel Cormier/Anthony Johnson main event made it seem like the event would be less than stellar. When Anthony Pettis and a number of other fighters missed weight the day before the event it seemed like UFC 206 was doomed (more on that later). But after all was said and done the show ended up being one of the more exciting events of the year, namely for some featherweight action at the top of the card.

The battle between Donald Cerrone and Matt Brown was one of grit, heart, and skill. Both men traded blows, both men hurt the other, and yet both men still came back for more. It was a display of what two elite level martial artists can accomplish in the cage if they just keep pushing forward. The bout was punctuated by a thrilling head kick knock out suffered by Brown and brilliantly set up by Cerrone. It was emphatic and announced to all the elite welterweights in the division that Cerrone is here to stay at 170 lbs.

The main event was also a great display of technical ability as Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis stood toe to toe trying to figure out riddle of each others styles. It made for a pretty intriguing striking battle in which both men utilized their full range of skills. It’s just unfortunate that Pettis hurt his right hand in the beginning of the fight because things were shaping up to be pretty exciting. If Pettis can find a way to make the weight at featherweight then a rematch between the two is a fight that no one would be arguing against seeing. If not, then at least we were able to see the two clash in a technical main event.

But the main and co-main event aren’t the fights that everyone has been talking about. The real show stealer at UFC 206 was clearly Cub Swanson versus Doo Ho Choi. While Choi looked strong early it was Swanson who would eventually take over and land some hellacious shots on the “Korean Superboy” nearly ending the fight on several occasions. But Choi landed some heavy leather of his own and showed that he wasn’t deterred to having a good old fashioned slugfest. The biggest take away for me in this fight was the chin and the heart of Doo Ho Choi. Like Max Holloway before him, Choi lost and lost emphatically. But this experience is likely to make him an even better fighter. Going through a war like that can sometimes show you what you’re made of and if it didn’t break Choi, it’s likely that it’s sparked a fire within him instead. In the coming years look for Doo Ho Choi to become a real monster in the featherweight division.

What a guy!

After three straight stoppages in the UFC welterweight division, Donald Cerrone returned to face Matt Brown at UFC 206. Taking place in the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada, the pay-per-view card really delivered. Taking on a very dangerous and durable fighter in Brown, the always ready ‘Cowboy’ came to bang. Following two very close rounds of exciting action, Cerrone stepped up his game in the final frame.

Landing a trademark head kick that resonated around the arena, Cerrone took out ‘The Immortal’ with a brutal knockout. Unfortunately for Brown that’s three straight losses, for ‘Cowboy’ it’s a whole different story. Now eyeing a potential title fight in the near future, Cerrone got on the microphone post-fight to discuss his options.

Cerrone Wants To Fight In January

After taking out Brown with such a convincing finish, Cerrone told Joe Rogan that he wants to fight again next month. UFC on FOX 23 is set to go down in Denver, Colorado on January 28, and ‘Cowboy’ wants in:

“He’s a good guy, he was just trying to get in my head. I knew he was gonna come hard and look for the finish. What about Denver, Colorado in a few weeks? What about that one? Thank you everybody, I love this sh*t!”

Cowboy vs. Maia?

According to UFC insider and MMAFighting.com reporter Ariel Helwani, Demian Maia is the intended target:

Arguably the most dangerous fighter outside the champion, Maia has been wrecking opponents at 170 pounds. Since dropping to welterweight in 2012, the BJJ ace has racked up nine wins and two losses. Maia currently rides a six-fight win streak, with victories over Matt Brown, Carlos Condit, Neil Magny and Gunnar Nelson highlighting his spree.

Again willing to go straight in to training camp, Donald Cerrone’s commitment to the game is clear. Should he defeat the rampant Maia if/when they fight, surely ‘Cowboy’ is next in line for a title fight.

In our co-main event of last night’s (Saturday December 10, 2016) UFC 206 pay-per-view (PPV) from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, No. 5-ranked welterweight Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone went to war with ‘The Immortal’ Matt Brown.

Cerrone has been on an absolute tear since making the jump up to 170 pounds from the UFC’s talent-stacked lightweight division, finishing all of his contests at welterweight since making his debut in February.

Brown came into the contest riding a two-fight losing streak and looking to return to his winning ways with a massive win over Cerrone, potentially putting him back on track to his ultimate goal of one day becoming a UFC champion.

Both men landed a plethora of massive shots throughout the bout’s progression, however, it was ‘Cowboy’s’ big head kick in the third round of the contest that would send ‘Immortal’ down to the canvas unconscious. Cerrone would extend his win streak to four as he remains undefeated in welterweight.

UFC 206 emanated from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada tonight (Saturday, December 10, 2016). It was an event for the ages.

In the main event, Max Holloway defeated Anthony Pettis via TKO to become the interim featherweight champion, lining up a matchup with Jose Aldo. The two strikers sniped and peppered one another throughout the abbreviated five-round affair. In the end, though, Holloway’s relentless pressure, greater volume, and perhaps Pettis’ compromised gas tank led to a victory for the Hawaiian.

The co-main event featured welterweight action fighters Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone and Matt ‘The Immortal’ Brown duking it out for just over two rounds. Both men were dropped inside the first ten mintues in a back-and-forth battle. ‘Cowboy’ brought the proceedings to a close about a minute into the third round when he landed a head kick flush to Brown’s jaw, dropping him where he stood. No follow-up punches were necessary. The win marked Cerrone’s fourth straight victory – and fourth straight finish – since moving to welterweight earlier this year.

But the unquestioned fight of the night – and a serious contender for Fight of the Year – came from two other featherweights on the main card in Cub Swanson and Dooho Choi. The two engaged in a slobberknocker of epic proportions, each finding the mark multiple times with seeming fight-ending blows. Despite each being badly hurt at various points, neither man would give an inch. They banged it out until the very end, with Swanson doing just a bit more down the stretch to take a unanimous decision. The violence gods were satisfied.
