Shout out to the Passionate Guys podcast real quick. If you haven’t listened to our new podcast, go check it out. Anyway, the guys talked about UFC 246 in their last show before the start of the Donald Cerrone and Conor McGregor fight. The crew seemed to feel that McGregor was going to win pretty hands down. I thought it would a closer than that in a fight that was going to be a go either way slugfest.
We know now that Donald Cerrone pretty much got his ass kicked by Conor McGregor. It was never close and the fight was pretty much over in 10 seconds. I just don’t understand how Cerrone totally laid an egg. For as good as McGregor looked, Cerrone didn’t even show up.
Cerrone went in there and just kept taking shoulders to the face and wouldn’t even move. Acted like he wasn’t getting hit and then was stumbling. For the life of me, I can’t understand what he was doing. I can’t help but think back to this quote he had before the fight.
“He’s the two-time, belt-holding champ, so you could definitely say this is, to date, the toughest battle,” Cerrone said. “I’m stoked, man, because this is, ‘Cowboy, can you fight the big fight? You never make it on the big fight.’ Well, motherf*cker, here’s the biggest one. Let’s see.”
Can’t win the big one? The second those words come out of your mouth, it’s over. It’s clear looking back on it the lights were too bright for Cowboy. He never gave himself a chance, to begin with. I don’t need to see Donald Cerrone in another big event again. Call it quits, Cowboy. You don’t come back from that one.
