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.

Building off UFC Denver’s most unexpected knockout, we decided to take a look at some of MMA’s most bizarre finishes. We have 25 years of fights to choose from.

Last weekend’s (Nov. 10, 2018) UFC Denver was the promotion’s 25th-anniversary show. The main event between Yair Rodriguez and Chan Sung Jung will go down in history as one of the best fights of all-time and one of the most insane ending sequences you will ever see in MMA.

The UFC has given fans 25 years of MMA and given birth to countless other promotions that have in turn provided fans with even more entertaining fights.

In a sport where you are literally fighting for your life, the term bizarre can be far-ranging. For that reason, and for the sake of this list, let’s just say a bizarre ending in a fight is something that is likely never to happen again.

The list starts here, enjoy.

Anderson Silva’s Broken Leg

When Anderson Silva broke his leg in his championship title rematch with Chris Weidman, it was the first time many fans had ever seen an injury of that ilk.

It was not, however, the first time that same leg break injury had happened inside the Octagon. The now-deceased Corey Hill broke his leg at UFC Fight for the Troops on Dec. 10, 2008. Unfortunately, many fighters in several different promotions have since suffered similar leg injuries.

Silva has now fully recovered from this bizarre fight-ending injury but he has only had three fights since that fateful night in December 2013.

Yair Rodriguez’s Coach Explains Why Every Fighter Needs Brutal Fight

Yair Rodriguez’s coach breaks his belief in fighters needing to be part of a harrowing war in their careers.

The post Yair Rodriguez’s Coach Explains Why Every Fighter Needs Brutal Fight appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Yair Rodriguez’s coach explains why he thinks that every MMA fighter needs to take part in such a brutal fight like his fighter was involved in. Rodriguez put on one of the greatest knockouts in UFC history. This came against “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung in the headliner of the UFC Denver event on FOX Sports 1.

It was one of the best fights of the year that surpassed expectations going into it. That is all fine and good according to Rodriguez’s coach Israel Martinez. However, he does think that it was a good learning lesson for his fighter. An experience that is the sort of career-changing, which can transform a good fighter into a great one

“We believe every fighter needs one of those.” Martinez said Monday on The MMA Hour. “It’s one of those things you tell a young athlete. You tell a young fighter, even the older guys: You need to get your ass kicked to kinda be woken up a little bit. You need to go through some dirty fights, some trenches. But you don’t need to do that every day.”

Yair Rodriguez’s Coach Explains His Standpoint

Martinez does understand that this is a one-off kind of situation as to not to do it every day. If that’s the case then it could lead to some big problems down the road.

“You don’t need to get punched in the head every day. And that’s one of those fights that we’re gonna have in our bag. We’re always going to be able to pull out all the things we’re learned from that. But there’s no way we want that type of fight again.”

Rodriguez’s coach believes at the end of the day that his fighter is beat up and it’s going to stick with him. Thus, they have to take the positives from that experience and move forward with it.

“Those things are deadly. Yair is beat up, and that’s going to be stuck in his head. Good and bad, for the rest of his life. So we want to make sure that we take the positives over the negatives and move forward.”
