UFC 202: Story v Cerrone

Cerrone’s career has seen him involved in barnburner fights with some of the toughest men to ever step into the octagon, but against Till on Saturday night, it was a bridge too far for ‘Cowboy’.

The American was in relaxed, happy mood all week (he even stole of my fries in the hotel bar the day before he was due to weigh in!), but on fight night, he was outmatched and outgunned against a younger, bigger, more powerful opponent.

Some are already suggesting Cerrone should drop back down to lightweight, but let’s not forget this is a man who went the distance with former world champion Robbie Lawler just a few months ago.

The fact he was finished quickly says more about Till than it does about Cerrone’s durability.

Make no mistake, ‘Cowboy’ will be back.
