Donald Cerrone vs. Gilbert Melendez was a thrilling, down to the wire nail-bitter, and really, given the way these two fight, could it have been any other way? It was back and forth between the two, but ultimately, it was El Nino who stood supreme, toppling the Cowboy by a single vote, 39-38. Melendez moves on to the Elite 8. And before you ask, yes, all Vote - Cerrone votes were indeed counted.
