Pros react to Donald Cerrone’s impressive first-round victory over Yancy Medeiros!
The fight only last four minutes and fifty-eight seconds but there was no shortage of action in the lone round.
Both men had there moments in the opening two minutes of the round. However, “Cowboy” would eventually take control of the fight after scoring a big right hand that sent Medeiros crashing to the canvas.
In classic Hawaiian fashion, Yancy bounced right back up to his feet and began to fire back shots. Unfortunately for Medeiros fans, Cerrone would once again find a home for his right hand and this time around was able to put Yancy away with ground and pound.

Yancy is such a good dude but you can’t play buddy/buddy with Cerrone during a fight. Makes Cowboy that much more comfortable. Same thing happened in Brown fight. #UFCAustin
