5 Reasons Why Alex Oliveira Beats Donald Cerrone

5. Length

If you take a quick glance through Donald Cerrone’s resume, you’ll be hard pressed to come up with too many names that fight with length well. He fought Nate Diaz in 2011, Anthony Pettis in 2013 and Edson Barboza in 2014, but apart from them his opponents largely fight in closed quarters. Cerrone excels in these exchanges, using his knees to do damage and open up his opponents for future strikes. This will not be the case with Oliviera.

Oliviera fights exceptionally well with his length. He has solid kicks that he uses to keep range.
