After three consecutive losses, Donald Cerrone needed a win versus Yancy Medeiros in the main event of tonight’s (Sun. Feb. 18, 2018) UFC Fight Night 126 from Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas.
If he did end that streak, it came with a rare reward as well – tying the record for most overall wins in the UFC.
The bout with the surging Medeiros promised fireworks, and it delivered just that from the outset. The Hawaiian pushed forward with some big shots early, appearing to outwork and out-land “Cowboy” in the early minutes of the first round. But Cerrone soon found Medeiros’ timing, landing some huge counter shots to switch the tide in his favor.
The switch was complete when he scored a missile of a right hand right on Medeiros’ chin, wobbling and dropping him for ‘Cowboy’ to pour on the ground stoppage enough for the referee to call off the action almost right when the first frame ended.

UFC Fight Night 126 went down tonight (Sunday, February 18, 2018) from the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, TX. The headliner featured action heroes Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Yancy Medeiros. They did not disappoint, engaging in a one-round slugfest that Cerrone would win by buzzer-beating TKO.
In the co-main event, heavyweight finishers Derrick “The Black Beast” Lewis and Marcin Tybura looked to get back on the winning track at the expense of each other. It would be Lewis who would leave with the ‘W’. He had to endure some rough moments on the mat underneath a suffocating Tybura to get it, though. In the third round, Lewis climbed to his feet after another Tybura takedown, disengaged, and mollywopped the Pole with a series of hooks in close quarters for the TKO victory.
Also, after the co-main event, Nate Diaz made a brief appearance on the FS1 broadcast, and in typical Diaz fasion, he did not disappoint.

Yancy is such a good dude but you can’t play buddy/buddy with Cerrone during a fight. Makes Cowboy that much more comfortable. Same thing happened in Brown fight. #UFCAustin
