damn good fight
i hope cerrone brings it this time unlike his last fight...
Cerrone didn't fight quite at his best but he certainly still brought it and gave us a great fight. More than anything else he lost because Nate fought awesomely well.
Maybe Nate will give it back to him.
I think Cerrone will get right back on track with this one and finish Edwards, probably 2nd round sub or TKO.
I bet Cerrone has been spending all his time training his boxing.Just a little better boxing and Cerrone is a complete package.
i think cerrone is by far the best lightweight, no1 can stand with him and its proven. I think he should go up to WW with his 6 foot frame and he would be the next on too take out GSP, and with ease. WAR cerrone
Nate Diaz can stand with him.
David Saucier... you make me laugh, you obviously arent a hardcore mma fan if you truly think that. LOL
