OTTAWA — Slow starts are nothing new for Donald Cerrone. In the past, they’ve occasionally proven costly, but that wasn’t the case on Saturday night.
In the main event of UFC Ottawa at Canadian Tire Centre, the 48-fight veteran erased a sluggish first round by going on to batter and bloody fellow lightweight slugger Al Iaquinta for the next four rounds en route to an exciting unanimous decision win.
The fight looked to be fairly even after the first five minutes, though from Cerrone’s perspective, he seemed doomed to put on a stinker of a performance.
