I went back and forth so much on this next one. I settled on Story. I think he'll show why Cerrone really belongs at 155.

Really hyped for this next fight. I got Cowboy, even though I was mulling a Story upset (Tapology-wise).

Close round. Cerrone took it in the last 45 seconds there. 

10-9 Cerrone

10-9 Cowboy. I think those two combos in the last minute stole the round for him.

Nice round.  Could be scored either way.  Leaning towards Cerrone though.

First person to stop story with strikes, utterly impressive. Cerrone is climbing up that ladder.

Easily the best fight of Cerrone's storied career ... he's been looking to fine-tuned in his last couple of fights ... he was always oozing with talent ... but he's become this complete fighter, he doesn't fold under pressure, puts together combinations and is on point like I've never seen him before.

Donald Cerrone entered some very exclusive territory right there. One of the very few fighters to ever look good against Rick Story. Awesome win.
