Donald Cerrone finished strong in his welterweight debut via a first round submission win over Alex Oliveira.
Former lightweight title contender Donald Cerrone made quick work of his Brazilian ‘Cowboy’ counterpart Alex Oliveira in the main event of UFC Pittsburgh on Sunday night.
Oliveira was getting more comfortable on the feet, coming forward with his attacks. Cerrone, however, found a perfect opening to shoot for a takedown and bring the fight to the ground.
Olivieira, who is listed as a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, seemed fazed when the fight went to the mat, leaving his half-guard wide open for Cerrone to pass.
