While Donald Cerrone received props and well-wishes after his UFC 246 loss to Conor McGregor, his performance also garnered a lot of criticism. ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith even went as far as lambasting “Cowboy” for not being prepared enough and just “giving up.”
Cerrone’s showing on fight night continues to be nitpicked by observers. Long-time MMA coach Ray Longo also chimed in his thoughts during a recent episode of the Anik & Florian podcast.
“Man I gotta say, I have no idea besides the fact that what I saw is just a guy that looked like he froze up,” Longo said (transcript by MMA News).
