UFC lightweight/welterweight contender Donald Cerrone had a great night at UFC 202. Taking to the octagon for the third time in the 170-pound division, ‘Cowboy’ faced hard-nosed wrestler Rick Story on the evening’s main card. Cerrone earned his third straight victory with a vintage second round TKO against ‘The Horror,’ eventually sealing the deal with a head kick and flurries of punches.

The win earned Cerrone his fifth performance of the night bonus under the UFC banner. It was a great way to start his future with the new owners of the promotion, and might well lead to a UFC 205 title shot against Eddie Alvarez. Although a lightweight title shot from a welterweight win is somewhat unorthodox, the main event at UFC 202 is proof that ‘money weight’ fights now rule the roost.

Thoughts on McGregor vs. Diaz

The UFC 202 main event featured two men that Cerrone is all too familiar with. Nate Diaz dominated ‘Cowboy’ back at UFC 141 and, although he’s never fought Conor McGregor, the two have shared a rivalry wince the infamous ‘GO BIG’ presser. As captured by our good friends at Submission Radio, Cerrone was disappointed that ‘The Notorious’ topped Diaz in Vegas:

“I feel like wrestling is really the gap in Nate (Diaz’s) game. If he had taken Conor (McGregor) down I feel like he could have secured victory in this fight. I don’t know what Nate was doing, when he goes out there and boxes he really dominates. I think the kicking took him off his game maybe, I don’t know.

“I was back there hooting and hollering for Nate man like ‘Come on man, f*cking get him. I was upset, I was really pulling for him. Now I got to listen to this f*cking dude talking all the f*cking time again. The king is back? F*ck it.”

What’s next for Cerrone?

As mentioned, and especially for a guy with so many fights and wins, anything is possible. If not a lightweight title fight, where and who should Donald Cerrone fight next?

UFC 202 went down in Las Vegas, Nevada last night and it was everything we’d hoped for. Stacked from top to bottom, the card arguably overshadowed UFC 200 as predicted by many. Right from the jump the card got off to a great start, filled with finishes and exciting fights. The main card popped off and the much-anticipated rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz finally came around. Although the featherweight champion had predicted a five round war, few expected the gruelling thriller we were treated to.

Diaz and McGregor left it all in the octagon. Much to the delight of the hoards of Irish fans in attendance, ‘The Notorious’ came away with a narrow decision victory. After the Stockton bad boy had submitted McGregor at UFC 196 on short notice, many had predicted a repeat performance at UFC 202. As it turned out, McGregor had different plans and a better game plan.

One of the greats

The result was one of the greatest main event contests in recent memory. Both men earned their pay in a big way, walking away with an additional $50,000 each for fight of the night. The toll of the fight was obvious though, McGregor went to hospital and Diaz wore the bloody battle on his face. Speaking after the fight, in the absence of an actual press conference, the popular 26-UFC fight veteran blazed up some cannabis oil while answering questions.
“I’ve been a lightweight the whole time. I won. Change is happening right now. If you want to be successful in this business, you have to follow the leader. Take a look at Conor, what did Conor do for this fight? He did what I told him to do. He hopped on a bike, he didn’t have no helmet, a little amateur, but he tried, and he hired top 10 people to come in.”

“This is ‘True,’ it’s CBD, it helps with the healing process and inflammation.”

Future

There’s no doubt that a probable third fight between Diaz and McGregor will go down in the next year. As far as the featherweight division is concerned though, a unification bout with Jose Aldo will likely take primacy. What’s next for Nate Diaz? Some big fights hopefully.
