Who knows what happens in this one ... if Cerrone shows up like he did against Cote, I think it's his to lose.

This seems to be the match-up that everyone was asking for next. I like it.

Either can win. Story has beaten so.e great fighters but also lost to some he should not have.

Story is a tough one but I think Cowboy can handle him, not sure about the submission so I'll go with DEC for Donald

Prediction: correct Cerrone   wrong Decision  

Wow,I'm a huge fan of both,personality wise and of course fighter wise. This fights gonna be crazy if cerrone doesn't get an early sub. I'm picturing some heated exchanges, Story bulls him to the cage,locks his arms and cerrone goes for a ride,but quickly threatens with a triangle, Story starts to posture up and cerrone switches to the the left arm,getting a rare for cerrone armbar 3:37 of the first. It'll probably go to a hard fought decision, but figured I'd mess around. Cerrone is just so diverse. I wish story was more active fight wise.

Cerrone will have to be careful, but as long as he plays it safe he should out-skill Story.

This is a bit of a confusing fight. Story is a talented fighter who's screwed up a lot but has really looked good since he changed camps. But I think anything that's caused Story to lose a fight is something Cerrone can do. Story is good with body shots though, and that's been Cerrone's biggest weakness in the past.

Story is very underrated and is very strong in the clinch and up against the cage. Cowboy just fought an opponent that has similar attributes in Cote, looked like a legitimate welterweight and put a vicious beating on Cote. Story's chin and toughness should get him through three rounds.

rick story is good, and underrated, but he's the type of fighter that cowboy eats up. Unless rick nonstop grapples, cowboy is a bad matchup for him I think.

I think Rick will nonstop grapples and grind Cerreone to the cage and to the ground, earn a split decision victory and set-up a match up vs Magny!

@hyrm I have taken the longest time picking this fights winner.  but after that Cote fight i cant see story's aggressive fighting style doing well.  I mean cote was trying that same idea and was destroyed IMO.  the only reason i picked a decision for cowboy was bc i know the heart that story fights with is hard to stop.

Story's wrestling is much better than Cote's and his bjj is probably about the same imo too.

I'm back and forth on this one. It's Story's strength, grit and grind vs Cerrone's skill and finesse.
