This past weekend’s (Sat. November 10, 2018) UFC Denver card featured some great fights. However, some fighters did suffer some injuries that will keep them sidelined for a while.
In the main event of the night, Yair Rodriguez pulled off a thrilling last-second knockout win over “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung. Rodriguez has been issued a 180-day medical suspension after the brawl. However, he can be cleared earlier with the note of a doctor. Regardless, he will serve a 60-day minimum suspension either way.
Jung has been issued a 60-day minimum suspension after being knocked out by “El Pantera.” Also, co-main event competitor Mike Perry was given a 90-day suspension after being armbarred by Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the first round. However, should he obtain clearance from a doctor’s letter, he can return earlier with no minimum suspension.

Mike Perry says during a recent interview that he thinks all of the drama leading into this most recent fight played a factor into his performance. In the fight, which served as the co-main event of UFC Denver at Pepsi Center, Donald Cerrone submitted Perry via armbar at 4:46 of the first round.
Back in August, Cerrone verbally assaulted the JacksonWink gym, including calling them a “puppy mill” when speaking with Joe Rogan on his podcast. Following these comments, Winkeljohn would defend his gym by calling Cerrone a “narcissistic” man who is only loyal to himself. The beef also has to do with the fact that Cerrone was fighting Perry.
During an appearance on Submission Radio, he stated that he felt the pressure of fighting someone else’s fight hurt his performance.
“Listen, I’m gonna tell you something here and it’s gonna sound crazy,” said Perry (H/T to MMA Fighting). “I’m not gonna take nothing away from Cowboy. He won fair and square. But I felt like I was staring defeat in the face that night. I felt like, you know, okay, if it had gone the other way. They would’ve been like, oh, Cowboy had all the pressure.”
Perry continued by stating that his coaching was taking over his body due to his training takedowns leading into this fight.
“But me, I was fighting a fight that wasn’t my fight, it was JacksonWink versus Cowboy Cerrone. So, it was my coaching that took my body over. It was something, the way that we trained that I was ending up with takedowns on people. And then their Jiu Jitsu wasn’t the level of Cowboy Cerrone to counter me.”
The UFC star also discussed how he thought he was facing defeat even before he got into the Octagon to fight the fan favorite.
“So, I think I stared defeat in the face that night and I got in the cage anyways. I felt like I was gonna lose before I ever walked in. Maybe that’s just because I lost now. But I just felt like everything was against me. And it was just to make me stronger.”
At the end of the day, Perry understands that he learned more from this loss than he would’ve if he won the fight. Thus, he’s trying to keep positive about the fight.
“I felt like I learned more from that loss than I would’ve ever learned from a win. That’s it. I was looking at the grim reaper and I entered the cage with him. I brought the real Cowboy Cerrone. We were the best two fighters on the planet when we were in that cage. Period.”

It turns out Donald Cerrone’s armbar on Mike Perry didn’t break any of “Platinum’s” bones after all.

“Cowboy” Cerrone picked up a big win over the weekend (Sat. November 10, 2018) in Denver.
Cerrone submitted Mike Perry in the first round via armbar. It was a very personal fight for “Cowboy,” who had some issues with Perry’s new trainer, Mike Winkeljohn. When Cerrone locked in the armbar, it looked very painful, especially when he went belly-down on Perry’s arm.
The initial belief was that Perry’s arm was broken, as “Platinum” said as much in a post-fight Tweet:
Good job @Cowboycerrone you broke my damn arm
— Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) November 11, 2018
However, the 27-year-old recently revealed on his Instagram story that his arm actually isn’t broken. He shared a photo of an x-ray of his arm, which was fully intact. Now, Perry will undergo an MRI to determine if there’s any ligament, tendon, or muscle damage:
“This is my arm. No bones look broke but mri Thursday will show ligament, tendon and muscle damage”
Perry has now lost three of his last four fights inside the Octagon. However, he is still one of the promotion’s most entertaining fighters, and will likely once again receive a fun match-up next. As for Cerrone, he has now declared his intentions to drop back down to lightweight.
It looks like he has his eyes on a fight with former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor.

Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone seems to be gunning for a UFC lightweight title opportunity after his submission victory over Mike Perry at UFC Denver.

Donald Cerrone has declared his intentions to drop back down to lightweight.
“Cowboy” picked up a big win over Mike Perry this past Saturday (November 10, 2018). He submitted “Platinum” in the first round of their UFC Denver co-main event. After the fight, Cerrone spoke to reporters about his next planned contest.
He doubled down on his intentions to return to lightweight, and wants to challenge for the 155-pound title once again (via Bloody Elbow):
“I don’t know if we can be anymore clear about it, can we? 155, I think the New Year Eve’s card will be cool, I’ll fight on Fight Pass I don’t give a sh-t, I’ll be the first fight of the night. But yeah let’s make a run, let’s train hard and be focused, let’s go get a motherf—king belt.
“I’m 182 pounds right now, that’s what I walked in at for fight week, this is heavy for me. When I’m at 155 pounds I’m usually around 176 pounds. I’m gonna have to hire a dietitian because that last five pounds sucks. Who I want [to fight]? Don’t care, but there is somebody they already came up and told me, it’s very exciting.”
Cerrone has challenged for a lightweight title in the UFC before. After racking up an eight-fight win streak, he fought then-lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos for the strap. Interestingly enough at that point, the last man to have defeated “Cowboy” was, in fact, “RDA.”
Dos Anjos defeated Cerrone in just over a minute via TKO. Now “Cowboy” will once again attempt to get back to title contention at 155 pounds.
