RDA will beat him more convincingly this time around....the odds seem right on.
nice comparison...In addition that he fought Nate emotional cause the previous beef they had.
Against RDA, it seems that there is legit bad blood too.
The results were interesting:
Emotional and angry Cerrone against Nate = one side beating by Nate to Cerrone
Emotional and angry RDA against Nate = one side beating by RDA to Nate
for sure, bendo and diaz has his number, cant say that about RDA. Styles make fights, RDA is more like bendo than diaz at this point. I dont see a clear cut direction on the fight despite cerrone being a big underdog.I don't know.
Cerrone should have lost to Bendo. What is even more scary he got outstruck by Bendo. That was this year.
Not that this is some huge knock on Cerrone. Bendo has always had his number. But, RDA is very aggressive and Donald seem to have mental lapses, like he did in his last fight against Henderson where he couldn't seem to pull the trigger.
Nate Diaz came at him aggressive and TOOLED him, bad. Like really bad.
I'd favor RDA. But, worth a bet.
Yeah, and so was "Smooth"..also...one of those two fighters had just beaten the shit out of someone, 15 days earlier.
I'll give you a hint...it wasn't Benson...
I feel like you are doing a whole lot of assuming with this comment. Also, he WAS known as a slow starter...you can't say that for a single fight in this streak, except Benson...and Benson was every bit of hesitant. Punching someone in the thigh repeatedly doesn't win you a fight.
That last sentence is so full of shit, I don't even really feel the need to comment on it. No offense, but to suggest that Cerrone some how knew he was down two rounds, in a close fight and just knew he wasn't going to beat Benson, so he gave up....that's dumb.
According to fightmetric, Benson landed 13 head strikes 53 leg strikes. He wasn't doing any damage. I get the argument, but it was a close fight, Benson just had more output, Cerrone more damage. It wasn't a robbery. Close fight, that's it.
Have to ever even sparred 80% without shin pads? ? 15 days is no where near enough for Cerrone's shins to recover from those devastating kicksCerrone coasted in the Jury fight with ease, it's kinda silly to say 15 days wasn't enough time off between fights after that easy fight. Cerrone is a known slow starter so I don't know why you feel the need to defend his performance against Benson Smooth. I think after his slow start he knew he was down 2 rounds and gave up at that point. He knew he wasn't going to sub or KO Benson Smooth and would lose 2 rounds to 1 at best so he gave up.
