On Saturday, Donald Cerrone did something for the first time that he’d never done in his 53-fight career. He fought to a draw.
It’s not an outcome he’d ever planned to have on his resume and in his eyes it’s as good as a loss. “Cowboy” went the distance with Niko Price in the welterweight co-main event of UFC Vegas 11 at UFC APEX and when the cards were read out afterwards two of the judges had it 28-28 and one scored it for Cerrone 29-27.
The final tally was affected by Price having a point deducted in the opening round for an eye poke, which would have turned those two 28-28 scores into 29-28’s in Price’s favor.
