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.
