What, In Your Opinion, Is Cowboy Cerrone’s Most Impressive Fight

[Gabe]

He’s looked good and looked horrible throughout his career so I was curious as to what you guys think was the fight where he looked the best. My personal choice is the Patrick Cote fight, he showed everything.

 

[RiseAboveHat]

The Myles Jury fight. I still have nightmares about those kicks he was throwing to Jury's legs while he was knocked down

The Melvin Guillard win doesn't look like much on paper now, but back then he was considered the hardest hitting LW, and had Cowboy badly in trouble immediately during their fight... He recovered, then hit a headkick that glanced off Melvin's head, wobbling him; Cowboy put him down, and then just before he nailed Melvin's head into the mat with GnP, he remembered they were friends and kindly went for the choke instead.

Was one of the best single rounders in MMA history. Only 1 minute 17 seconds long.

From this:

To this:

Within a minute... Maybe others were more prestigious, but that shit was wild.

 

[Sonny Qc]

best wins where Vs Bendo and Eddie,

best performance?

Vs Story maybe?

 

[nostradumbass]

Probably Eddie Alvarez.

 

[SuperNerd]

I really enjoy watching him beat up Hernandez.

I go back and watch that "Cerrone humbles Hernandez" video pretty frequently.

Probably not his "most impressive" though.

 

[El Panteron]

best wins where Vs Bendo and Eddie

True but he should've lost that Bendo fight. That leaves Alvarez as his best win and it is an excellent win, one of the best LWs in those years.

 

[maximus__]

I actually think his best performances were Myles Jury or Alexander Hernandez. They aren't his best wins, but he madde two good looking prospects take devastating losses. Neither was ever as good again after those fights.

 

[Thesnake101]

The RDA rematch ofc.

 

[Ares Black]

Conor McGregor. That's the fight where we saw what he was really made of.

 

[MCS]

First Bendo fight. I scored it for him, close to win by sub many times. It was Bendo peaking, and then the WEC guys took over LW, so a win there would've meant a lot, also in retrospect.

The combo he dropped on poor Rick Story was some Tekken shit...

[Substance Abuse]

It's over Story or Alvarez.

 

[filthynumber1]

Edson

I disagree, The Nathan Diaz fight showed what he was really made of, the Mcgregor fight reminded us. Boxing & South Paws.



Alvarez was his best fight.

Yeah, that was the first one that came to mind for me.

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

The Alex Hernandez fight was great, his combo's against Rick Story were awesome. His Sub win of MIke Perry is so fun to watch. Dudes had some epic moments for sure.

 

[TITS]

The Myles Jury fight. I still have nightmares about those kicks he was throwing to Jury's legs while he was knocked down

Kicks to his ass you mean.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

The dude was so hot and cold

Looked like a million dollars when not in a mega fight, but usually folded too easily in the big ones

I know it's common for athletes to be nervous before big nights, but the best thrive under pressure. Unfortunately cowboy didn't

Definitely has some fantastic wins

Was some of the funniest shit I've ever seen in a cage... The venom.

I wonder what made him so angry that day!
