Donald Cerrone was in uncharted territory entering his UFC Fight Night 126 main event against Yancy Medeiros on Sunday in Austin, Texas. On a three-fight losing streak for the first time in his career, he had arrived at a potential crossroads. Medeiros turned out to be the perfect opponent for Cerrone, as he showed off the skills that have made him a fan favorite for years.
Cerrone’s game plan was evident from the start, as he appeared content to sit on the outside and allow Medeiros to dictate the pace with his aggressive standup.
