It was the biggest fight of his life and Donald Cerrone once again wilted under the glare of the big lights as the powerful Rafael dos Anjos defended his lightweight belt tonight (Sat., Dec. 19, 2015) in Orlando, Florida on UFC on Fox 17.
The moment was an opportunity of redemption for "Cowboy" who had been known to choke in big fights earlier in his career, dropping a pair of opportunities to Benson Henderson back at WEC 48 and WEC 43 more than half a decade ago.
Cerrone had clearly matured since then, utilizing his superb striking to set up a rematch against the Brazilian he fought two years ago.
