He's BJJ, not Judo or wrestling.It was a great reversal but he did get taken down by Mike Perry in the first place so it's not all good.

With 17 of them now, Cerrone has almost as many submission wins as Nate has fights. I get that Nate probably has better bjj but Cowboy is no slouch and I think he has better wrestling than Nate. I just couldn't figure out why Cowboy seemed terrified of going to the ground in that fight even while he was losing on their feet. Like I said, it's not like Nate manhandles people like Maia.
Why did he get the ban hammer ?
perry no fight iq
It’s not like his camp new anything about the guy he was fighting lol. What in the fuck was their gameplan?
Cerrone doesn't often win by pure submission, usually he hurts people standing then submits them.
I don't follow Nate as closely but most of his seem to be set up be grappling while Cerrone typically gets a knock down then jumps on an arm or neck.

I agree with you partially. Nate has subs like the Conor submission that started with him hurting guys on the feet too though. Cerrone has became more and more partial to the standup as his career progressed. If you haven't seen them, try to find and watch Cerrone vs Henderson in their two WEC fights. Cerrone showcased some really slick bjj in the first one and it's how "Bendo" got his nickname. No one could believe he didn't tap in those fights.
Why would anyone think this is special?
that was a great move,
Not really. Mike left way too much daylight, then cerrone exploded with more force than technique.
I actually found it quite ugly and basic. It wasn't the worse but not great IMHO

Perry attempts to keylock Cerrone, and in the process commits both of his arms. Cerrone simply bridges towards his trapped arm, and Perry makes the foolish decision of holding on to the keylock rather than letting go.
The reversal is 95% perry's screwup, 5% cerrone doing well.
I can tell you've done some BJJ training, because that's the go-to offense to get to a safer position - bridging, making space, trapping a leg to get I to half guard, bridging the other way to get full guard...but there are tons of reversals and escapes to either get back to the feet or revers the position from side control.Maybe frown is too strong of a word but the go to from that position should be guard retention. I don’t believe this is what folks would call a high percentage move.
Good analysis.Not sure why people are being snobby about it. It's definitely a good sweep.
I don't know what you're referring to as "daylight." Perry committed his left arm too much to the americana attempt and got his elbow trapped under Cerrone. Cerrone took advantage with a sweep. However, Perry has a strong wrestling base, so it still took a lot of good leverage and technique to finish the sweep. Cerrone makes sure that the force goes towards Perry's trapped arm preventing him from basing on his head or right hand. It's good stuff.
Perry bails on the americana as soon as Cerrone starts the sweep. By the time Cerrone started the sweep, Perry's left arm was already trapped. Perry tries to post on his head/right hand, but Cerrone carries the momentum towards Perry's left shoulder. You can see Perry's left arm extended and trapped by Cerrone at the elbow as he's tumbling over. I wouldn't say it was foolish of Perry to hold on to the keylock. The mistake was digging his left arm in, and committing too far.
I almost feel like Perry wanted to make a statement by brute force submitting Cerrone with the most brute force submission, which is the Americana. He committed fully to it, and Cerrone took advantage with a beautiful sweep.

Didn't think Perry could be that stupidYou got that ^^^ right that's why I came to my senses and switched back to the Cowboy to lasso Platinum Mike with vet moves...
