It's almost Conors entire bodyweight slamming into Cerrone's head. Thigh or knee, that is a lot of force. Cerrone chin is not what it used to be. I think this was the beginning of the end for Cowboy.
He is a fighter who cannot handle being stunned. He gets finished quite often after getting stunned. Conor is a fighter who stuns most of his opponents and follows up with big shots. This fight was as predictable as the sunrise.
It landed right on the temple. That would stun anyone. Fight was effectively over at this very moment.
Yeah you can see that when he comes up for the clinch his eye is already immediately bruised and swollen. Anyone trying to downplay this is just being intentionally dishonest.
Yeah Conor mentioned himself it was a big impact when they collided. At first i thought he landed a knee and we were gonna see Masvidal Askren all over again
In the span of 40 seconds he took a full force thigh to the face, got his nose broken, high kicked in the jaw, and then ate about 5 clean power lefts to the side of the head Took a dive though
