A key lightweight bout between perennial division contenders Justin Gaethje and Donald Cerrone headlined tonight’s UFC Vancouver event.<\/p>\n
Donald Cerrone (36-12 MMA) entered tonight’s main event looking to rebound, this after suffering a second round TKO loss<\/a> to Tony Ferguson in his most recent effort at June’s UFC 238 event.<\/p>\n Prior to the setback, “Cowboy” was riding a three fight streak which included stoppage victories over Alexander Hernandez and Mike Perry.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Justin Gaethje (20-2 MMA) entered UFC Vancouver on a two-fight win streak. In his most previous Octagon<\/a> appearance at UFC Philadelphia, “The Highlight” scored a first round knockout victory over Edson Barboza.<\/p>\n Tonight’s UFC Vancouver main event lived up to expectations as Justin Gaethje and Donald Cerrone immediately went to war from the opening bell. Unfortunately for fans of \u2018Cowboy\u2019, Gaethje\u2019s aggression and power ultimately proved to be to much as he won via first round TKO after landing some nasty hooks.<\/p>\n Check out how the pros reacted to tonight’s Justin Gaethje vs. Donald Cerrone fight below:<\/p>\n Mannn new patient Gaethje is a nightmare for everyone!!<\/p>\n He can take a ridiculous amount of punishment. Cardio for days. Beats up your leg with brutal kicks which forces you to close the range where he has hands of stone that you have to watch out for.<\/p>\n #UFCVancouver<\/a><\/p>\n — Megan Anderson (@MeganA_mma) September 15, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
